Homeland - back soon!

[Hassled]

I am beside myself with excitement. here - who's putting the contacts in? Is that Carrie in a disguise? Any one else agog?

Coco-think I have just pm you a link to the whole ep.

Wanted to just do a screenshot.

Sorry!

Have they all signed up to series 3 though? I thought most had - which means I can't take this all too seriously.

The sub-plots are ticking along nicely. I really like the Dana and VP's son story and it looks as if Mike and (is it?) Lauder are starting to question what really happened to Walker. I can see this side of the plot developing and will Mike get back with Jessica?

Oh yes, that pair of Thunderbird puppets belong together.

All this stuff in the news about the Polly Peck guy is making me YOOHOO CARRIE, HE'S OVER HERE!!

Is it very credible that they would have gone in and taken Brody based on one video that could be a fake for all they know? I assume they've done clever things with timestamps but even so. And beyond that, what does it prove? He could claim to have no memory of having made the video (blame it on PTSD for example) and has he actually broken any laws?

I agree tribot - and even if they think it's genuine, what we've heard on the video does not necessarily prove he's a terrorist does it? There may be a twist in the plot there. I expect they will keep the tape and the arrest from the VP - very few people know about it at the moment - so I guess they may keep Brody in his position having 'turned him' (or so they'll think).

I'm so excited about tomorrow's episode - apparently the Carrie/Brody scenes are electric! Love this show

It was Carrie´s outburst that made them arrest him, surely?

It was totally their exchange in his hotel room that made them arrest him. As soon as she started talking about his "bullshit" you saw Saul say "Go In" and Quinn got straight on the phone. There is no question that they were CIA.

Also doesn't he pretty much admit to everything that she said? I know that it can be classed as ambigous but Carrie says how long can you get away with it and he replies something like "I don't know, I seem to be pretty good at it."

I know that generally you only have to look at someone in a funny way to end up being renditioned to Guantanamo, but you think they'd want something a bit less flimsy before arresting a Congressman

Didn't she say something about him adding her to his secret kill count and him agreeing?

Can't wait can't wait can't wait.
Yes, I think whatever he said to Carrie in the hotel pre-arrest would have been enough to be taken as admission of guilt/that the video was genuine.

I'm dying of impatience, I just hope DP makes it in time for us to watch it together, otherwise I'll have to wait and watch on +1, and I'll have to force myself not to read anything on this thread.

I did not like that shot of Virgil as Carrie drove away. I'm suspicious.

Virgil? Was it definately him? What a fantastic episode !

Virgil looked really sinister. Is there any significance to showing the person who was hit by Dana and the VPs son?

I thought Virgil looked a bit creepy too! But then the shot back at Brody's house seemed just to suggest that that was Virgil settled there for the foreseeable future?

Did Brody not give up the reporter then? Is he actually going to be a double double agent?!

Virgil was just there to keep tabs on Brodie, wasn't he? In a "remember we're here" sort of way?

Can someone remind me of the reasons why we know there's a CIA mole? I have:
Brodie's guard being slipped a razor blade by someone (probably Brodie in the fight)
Something to do with the Saudi diplomat? Or am I making that up?
Was there something about the couple near the airport being prewarned of something?

No, Brodie did give up the reporter woman. She was one of the people he listed as contacts.

I know that's why he was there, it was just something about the angle/shot/timing/knowledge there's a mole/he's known everything since the beginning but isn't technically in the CIA. And we're clearly meant to trust him like Carrie does.

I didn't get the names of all the contacts... but he DID say that they're all dead. Reporter lady not dead, is she?

Oh I see (re Virgil). Blimey - you're messing with my head now.

I'm sure he said the reporter woman's name. Although given that I can't even remember her name right now, I'm not what you'd call a reliable witness.

That's what I wondered too, I didn't catch the names but then they said they were all dead! Although they left her on the board didn't they. Hmmm.

I think it was Carrie who said all dead and she was referring to Tom Walker and the Saudi ambassador - maybe one other name killed in the strike on Abu Nazir. It was ambiguous as of course the tailor is dead but the CIA don't know that yet.
