Is Homeland Great or What?!

[moonblushtomato]

Just watched part 2 of Homeland shown on Channel 4 last night.

Fantastic drama with an excellent script, superb acting and lots of twists and turns.

Has he been brainwashed????

I like Saul too - he's lovely.

Let's hope it's not a stupid, anti-climax.

The hands were the ones at the start of this week's episode - making the bomb vest. After my post we saw they were the guy in the workshop who gave the vest to Brody so mystery solved.

Thanks, whydoesit!

Roll on Sunday!

I saw Damien Lewis this afternoon waiting to get his hair cut in a salon in Kentish Town. I was so close to going up to him and asking what happens on Sunday. I wish I had now. I cannot wait!!

Oh Ella f it were me I'd have been really starstruck think I'd probably try to talk to him and end up making a complete arse of myself.

He was v funny on have I got news fr you last week, although I don't find him as attractive with London accent it makes him sound a bit pompous IMO (not that London accent is pompous just on some people IYSWIM)

you should have ran in and collected the trimmings!

That's not a London accent, Edward, that's an Eton accent.

I once saw him in Camden carrying an Argos bag. As you do, when you're a Hollywood A-lister.

I thought Eton was in London but then I'm scottish so don't know areas/accents well down south and a bit dim with geography

Or was that sarcasm as Eton is v v posh school? even more stupid crawls under rock

Eton's in the Home Counties somewhere. Id guess squeaver meant that he has a public-school accent rather than a London one per se.

Clearly it doesn't stop him carrying an Argos bag around though.

@ the Argos bag!

I saw the Temple Grandin film a couple of weeks ago completely randomly very late at night.
Clare danes was pretty amazing, but i was quite surprised to see Julia Ormond as her MUM!!!

That post was for Brightness BTW.

Mrs Brody is in the Good Wife I am watching on V+. I love GW too.

O excited for tomorrow! My personal theory having seen the trailer only, is that Brody wimps out of blowing up the VP and that's why whatshisname the sniper is on the roof. They expected Brody to wimp out and know that if he does, they can shoot him and the vest will still explode (bear in mind I know zero about bomb engineering! So this may not even be possible!)
Damn excited though!

Does anyone find it far fetched that he is prepared to do this for "Issa"?

OK, he loved the boy & wants to kill the people who killed him-is that just the VP & David?

But is also OK with the aftermath for his own family?

Agreed Diddl - I've been complaining to my DH all along that the back story doesn't seem strong enough to have turned him given the consequences for his own family & how did the turn Walker?
(disclaimer: I've no idea what being a pow does to someone though!)

Brill series though - really love it & am gutted we're out tomorrow night so won't see the episode live (how sad is that )

I suspect it´ll be the thought of his children that will stop him going ahead.

Also, would being in politics himself & ruining their careers/lives by exposing the "collateral damage" that they considered acceptable be a better revenge?

Did we find out how Walker knew that the meeting was a set up?

(When the briefcase bomb went off)

me and Dh cant wait for sundays episode... best thing on telly!
i will be gutted if DL really is a baddy

No Diddl, so I'm hoping Sunday night will reveal whether Brody is good or bad (I'm still going for good) & who the mole in the CIA is!

Given Brody is in the next series, surely it means either he is good, or he's a baddy but fails to carry out his mission, or chooses not to for now and therefore manages to hide it from the authorities. Otherwise he'd get locked up or blow himself up no?

I´m thinking baddy who doesn´t go through with it.
