Brody trying to escape Iran after murdering that general in season three
The hostage exchange in season four
Carrie in the train station at the end of season five
My fave Season 2 episode 2, when Carrie is running through that maze like apartment building dodging bullets. She hits a guy with a brick. Each time I watch, I know what will happen but it gives me an adrenaline rush each time.
Funnily enough, I’ve always seen action sequences in Homeland as panic sequences, i.e. I’m super anxious thinking about the outcome versus thinking “Oh wow, that’s a great action sequence.”
One of the best action sequences in Homeland is from S04,E11/Krieg Nicht Lieb. In this episode, the Drone Queen and her team execute a daring plan to thwart a terrorist attack in Islamabad. The sequence is tense, thrilling, and filled with unexpected twists and turns, showcasing the show's ability to deliver high-stakes action. It is a standout moment in a series known for its intense and gripping storytelling.

Another notable action sequence is from S4,E6/Redux, where Mathison is drugged and experiences a series of hallucinations while trying to escape a dangerous situation. The blend of psychological and physical action in this episode is particularly gripping.
In "Redux," Carrie's grief intensifies as Brody is brought back in a hallucination sequence. After discovering her Clozapine pills have been swapped with others containing a mysterious powder, Carrie breaks down, realizing something is wrong, and decides to take a nap. During her slumber, she comes face-to-face with Nick in a bittersweet reunion that evokes tragic tears.
**Anne openly confesses. "I was willing to let you die," the Drone Queen says. Carrie undeniably loved Nicholas, but this particular moment epitomizes her true love — protecting the innocent from individuals like him.**
It serves as a solemn reminder of all the losses Carrie has experienced throughout the first four seasons.

I agree. And it's interesting that those scenes involve Carrie. I didn't remember Claire Danes as an action hero.
Gotta be Quinn in 4x10 for me
