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?

Do you think Carrie is in love with him? Or is she using that as an angle to get him to trust her?

Did anyone else think that the woman they hit with the car looked suspiciously like the reporter lady? Could be be very messy!

That's what Diddl was pming me about, she thinks its her. I couldn't figure out if it was or not.

I need to watch again as I missed a whole chunk (after Rupert Friend stabbed Brodie) thanks DS
I'll look closer at the dying lady.

DS2 thought she was the reporter - we rewinded and I'm pretty sure she wasn't. Couldn't work out of she was dead or not though.

Re Carrie - yes, I think she is still in love with Brodie. And hates the fact she is. But then that "If I could tell the truth I'd say I want you to leave your wife and kids for me" thing just sounded like a spin, so I don't know .

He definitely said reporter's name. He said her name first and Carrie was really surprised. Then when asked to list the others he did and said they are all dead.

Hard to tell if it was the reporter they ran over (I'm watching on 4+1 as watched fab Space Dive earlier).

Woman they ran over looked like Saul's wife.

I also wondered if the run over lady was Roya, but then thought no, but I'm not really sure why

DH and I can't decide if Carrie is in love with Brody or if she's saying it to keep him onside.

I must stop thinking that this is real! I felt sorry for Brody tonight and was worried about how fucked up he must be! [need to get a life emotion]

Ooooo it was Virgil......I couldn't work out who it was.

Saul was very quick to defend Rupert Friend after he stabbed Brody. I found that really odd.

Had a look on 4OD. Woman doesn't look like reporter or Saul's wife. I also don't think it is Virgil in the car outside Brodie's house. It looked more like Rupert Friend to me.

Wowsers, that's Rupert Friend? Had not twigged!
All I noticed about the run-over person is it was a adult woman, with brown hair. And her sleeve was floral patterned. I'd make a crap witness!

It helps when you stop it on 4OD and have a look. I'm pretty certain about Rupert but not a clue who the woman is.

I'd hazard a guess that the woman was pregnant and that she was in a floral mat dress. But I'd not stake nary a sandwich on it.

Oh that was good

Brodie definitely gave up Roya but I don't think it was her that Dana & Co ran over (have freeze framed for ages ). I do think that Dana won't be able to live with the secret and will eventually confide in Brodie (they have form for 'sharing') and that Brodie may somehow use this info to blackmail/silence the VP at some point.

But I mostly think Carrie is awesome and that 99% of what she said to Brodie was true. She is definitely in love and obsessed with him and they both know it. I think that's what is so fascinating abut watching them together - they are both utterly damaged but mange to cover it up to most people. Together, however, they are both completely exposed which gives them the connection they have.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what the writers do with the dynamics of their relationship now that they are 'allegedly' working together.

Yes, I´d thought that the woman was Roya.

Looked again last night & not sure-clothes didn´t look right?

But I´m wondering-did Finn run her over or was she pushed by whoever was standing over her at the end?

Will Dana tell Brody?

What´s with Virgil tailing Carrie?

Hard to tell what´s real from Carrie, isn´t it?

Oh my. What a bloody brilliant episode last night! The dynamics between Carrie and Brody were fantastic! Just one thing bugging me... He said to Carrie he didn't know what Nazir was planning, but didn't he secretly write down some sort of codes from Estes safe when he was alone in his office? Surely that'd be relevant information? Aaagh, and so begins the whole 'who is he working for?' that drove me nuts in series 1 (not sure I can cope with all that again!).

Yes, that´s it for me.

Has it jumped the shark?

I mean really-they´ll trust him to tell them what´s going on?

Wonder how many more series there are?

I can´t see it turning out that as a US Marine his ultimate loyalty will be to Nazir, (can´t really see the programme makers going for that).

It felt a bit like a jumped shark to me

Also, wouldn't the CIA have come up with something better than "he's got the flu" - emergency with another returning soldier, need for some urgent political action in Alabama etc etc.

I heard there may be 7 series....

i enjoyed the episode but it has all got a bit daft.

So, the CIA realise that they have captured, alive, a terrorist who tried to assassinate one of the most powerful men in the country - but they let him go on the condition he does a bit of spying for them. Even though he is clearly unhinged and brainwashed.

my guess is that Nasir finds out and kills Chris. 'My son dies and now so does yours' type thing. The son suddenly had a much bigger part last night so makes sense.

I find it slightly stretching things to think that they would just release Brody back to his family when ten minutes earlier he had essentially had a breakdown and been lying on the floor of the interrogation room in a foetal position. How can they confidently say he is going to be trustworthy when in such close proximity to leaders of government? Also where was Estes in this part of the show? And what happened to his date with the terrorist reporter?!

Exactly Tamoo! They really needed a better cover story to buy themselves a few days with him.

I can't get my thoughts straight on this but I think the VP's son running over the woman is a useful plot line brody will use later to his advantage somehow. The daughter wont keep that to herself. Possibly to save his son? Can't think how that would work but its an interesting twist. He needs some sort of get out of jail card if they are going to take this beyond this series. I agree that the breakdown then calm walk into his home doesn't quite fit. Still, the carrie/brody stuff was pretty powerful.

Yes I think Dana will tell Brody-have I already said that?

Also, maybe I´m remembering wrong but I thought that Carrie said something about a new identity/move away (cos he´s not that recognisable)-am guessing that´s for after he´s helped to foil Nazir!
