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 thought i added a post last night,but it isnt here.
is carrie dead does anyone think?

anyway it was a fantastatic final, thankfully as it would have been so disappointing if it hadnt been.
and she did stop him blowing up everyone, even if she didnt know it.

SpringHeeledJack · 07/05/2012 14:00

god that flew by, didn't it

I bloody LOVED it

I didn't think the baddies/goodies thing was too obv/clear cut, either. Obv Abu Nazir is a bit of a cunt, but so is the Vice President, Estes etc etc

...I had to watch Nuts in May after to calm myself down

Please don't say Carrie is dead Slarty as if this turns into another Lost I'll be so angry! If you read the article LeBof linked to, then I don't think she is.

I was gutted she wasn't vindicated publicly & was shouting at the TV that she was right all along & they should be paying attention to her! The whole thing was so cleverly done - I loved itGrin

slartybartfast · 07/05/2012 14:52

i loved it too, couldnt sleep for thinkingof it #just the beep at the end of her ECT that sounded like something and i am sure i heard that one of them wouldnt be in it.

slartybartfast · 07/05/2012 14:53

sorry, wouldnt be in the necxt series.

ScoopThePoop · 07/05/2012 16:27

Wait for it......
Carrie wakes from her treatment and it's all a dream and we start back at the beginning again.
Seriously, bit disappointing I thought, as I can see it all dragging out for the sake of it. Would have been better if they'd finished with the one series.

Carrie's boss was in the dr who Xmas special a couple of years ago - the one with the master. Saw it today on watch. ( fascinating fact of the day)

ifancyashandy · 07/05/2012 17:24

But who took Brodies video memory card from the wall?!?

iloveACK · 07/05/2012 17:33

I assumed that was Walker with the second chalk mark.

Who told the wife about Carrie & Brody?

cocolepew · 07/05/2012 17:47

I think Mrs Brody put 2 and 2 together. Brody had disappeared for the weekend then she saw Carrie and him on the front lawn. I think it dawned on her then.

SpringHeeledJack · 07/05/2012 17:58

that's what I was wondering, shandy

after he'd shot Walker, I was shouting: GO THROUGH HIS POCKITSSSSES

iloveACK · 07/05/2012 18:06

Good call coco - I hadn't thought of good old intuition! Blush

ifancyashandy · 07/05/2012 18:08

I reckon it was the mole. Means they can blackmail Brody should he turn back. Don't reckon it was Walker ~ wouldn't push the story on at all. The video will become uber important in Series 2. It's Carrie's proof.

iloveACK · 07/05/2012 18:34

Who do you reckon the mole is shandy? Could only be Saul as he was the only CIA person to know about Carrie & Brody??

I've thought about this programme all day - really do think it was such a clever episode & part of me wishes Brody had gone through with it Blush. It would have served the Vice President & Estes right, not only for what they did, but also for covering it up as without the cover up, Carrie would have figured it out & stopped Brody before he got that close to carry it out!

I need to stop thinking about it now!

LeBOF · 07/05/2012 19:25

I'm the same, iloveACK- it's exhausting me! I can't stop my brain whirring.

ifancyashandy · 07/05/2012 19:36

Up until last night I'd have laid money on it being Estes. I love(d) Saul!

But then he put the dogs onto Carrie outside the big wigs pow wow... Why?!?

But maybe it's a double bluff from the writers?!

Head. Hurts.

noddyholder · 07/05/2012 19:37

My teenage ds is not who you need as a watching companion for 8 weeks of this as he argues every scene episode point etc and I am knackered!

ifancyashandy · 07/05/2012 19:41

Also... I think it may be someone totally left field. Look at how no-one was expecting that ending last night. The mole will leave us like Shock

Hassled · 07/05/2012 19:47

Noddy - I'm in the same boat with DS2. It's all he talks about. It's pretty much all I think about, in fairness.

"But then he put the dogs onto Carrie outside the big wigs pow wow... Why?!?"

Because he had realised that she loved Brody & thought that she was after revenge & there was no basis in what she was saying?

But-if Brody wasn´t a terrorist-why didn´t he just tell her about the time that Nazir went silent-that surely was also a giveaway?

Although of course he managed to cover to David-& Saul-by saying that they´d had an affair but that she must now keep away.

ifancyashandy · 07/05/2012 20:57

Until that moment, I thought Saul believed Carrie. Afterall, he went after the Vice President with the Big Red Blacked Out Book.

diddl · 07/05/2012 21:05

"Afterall, he went after the Vice President with the Big Red Blacked Out Book."

But he didn´t know of the connection between the drone strike, Nazir´s son & Brody, did he?

ifancyashandy · 07/05/2012 21:22

No. Indeed. But he knew.something.was up, didn't he?

I'm sooooo confused!
