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

Yeyy I was so hoping Saul was a goody!

Wow! I really hope Saul makes it back to the CIA ok....

Fab! I wish they hadn't left it until the closing scene though.

Bloody hell - the suspense! I was in pieces - the whole car tyre/forest scene was just unbearable. And the build up to the Saul thing - brilliant.

Amazing acting from Claire Danes again - she is astonishingly good.

I have a proper girl crush on Clare Danes

I shed a tear for her at the end.

It would have wounded my soul if Saul had been a baddie but I'm just so pleased he is naice man after all. But I do think his days are numbered - I'll be surprised if that tape ever makes it back to the office.

So worried now that Saul won't make it back to the office.

No idea where it goes from here. Loving it!

If Saul is the goodie and someone somewhere in the CIA is definitely a baddie, who are we left with as viable suspects? Estes and who else? Because someone is going to destroy the video sooner or later.

God I appear to be watching it again on C4+1. This may be entirely abnormal behaviour

I don't think Saul is in the clear yet! I think it might have been signifcant that he asked if it was her computer? Why hasn't he passed it to his team/boss, surely he wouldn't breach protocol if he was a good guy???

I think even if he's not a complete goody his heart is in the right place.

was stilll SO good tonight. watch Carrie makes me hyperactive/ on edge.

Laura I agree. Not cut and dried because otherwise the whole series is over

To convince me he is really in the clear, he should have insisted Carrie be at the debriefing and played the footage then for everyone to see.

I thought tonight's episode was probably the least plausible of all so far. There is no way that Abu Nazir's organisation would have sent Brody to collect the compromised guy. Brody would be such a prized asset to them, they wouldn't have risked him being caught if they knew the CIA were on to the man in Gettysburg. Was rubbish.
But Clare Danes was excellent as ever. So glad she found out she was right all along. Was worried that Saul was never going to show up.

I also thought quite ridiculous.

But wasn´t the pretext that he would know/trust Brody?

But just as I was thinking how daft-Saul showed Carrie the recording-fantastic!

i agree. Sending Brody to deal with the tailor was illogical - why would they do that and risk him missing a key speech in his political career and arousing suspicion in the process?

And why the hell would Brody take a call while he was tryng to commit murder at the same time?

I don't think Brody deliberately killed the tailor. I wonder if getting him to move the tailor was a test by Abu Nazir? I guess they didn't factor in the flat tyre and missing jack.

Nancy66 · 22/10/2012 11:00

no, he put him out of his misery after an injury - but he still killed him and it's a bit daft that he'd take a call from his wife while doing so

Report
PseudoBadger · 22/10/2012 11:49

I don't think he put him out of his misery - I think he panicked because of the situation (Jess asking questions on the phone, going to miss a very very important occasion, covered in blood, miles from anywhere) and when the tailor wouldn't shut up it was just his knee jerk reaction - fall back on the old Marine Hug....

And we don't know if the safe house really was safe given as how they never arrived.
I wondered if they were both ie. Brody and Bassel, being set up, and they were perhaps both going to be bumped off when they arrived at the safe house......
We may never know.
Really enjoying it.

Perhaps the bomb maker would have been disposed of as now a liability.

But Brody?

i thought that the whole "safehouse" thing was to take brody out too.

Why would they want rid of Brody when he stopped an attempt on Abu Nazir?

Unless they think that he was behind the attempt??!!

Because they know about the tape? I think.
