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?

they might know by now that brody is about to be caught if they've realised that they got the wrong memory card from saul and therefore want him dead before CIA get to him incase he gives CIA info on them?

OK, I'm new to Homeland this series, and I wish I'd seen the last now!

To lower the tone (ahem), the Times review this morning (rated it 4 stars, last week 5 stars) said that a character had a visible erection, seen through his trousers... I seemed to have missed that bit; anyone see who that was? (I'm guessing the marine who was going for a "coffee" with Brody's wife when he turned up)

I also don't think that the memory card will reach the CIA HQ, but can't believe Saul is a BadMan; he seems such a nice guy!

Brodys trousers seemed a little, um tented, after kissing his wife on the worktop.

i think i still have it in my planner will watch again tonight

Yes definitely after the kitchen scene!

Another one here noticed the "tented" trousers. I found the Brody story last night quite implausible and so it lost some of the tension but agree, Clare Danes is fab.

The story was implausible but the erection was method acting at its best!

I think they want Brody out of the way - thought safe-house bit was also not true.

Is Brody really a traitor or is he really torn? Once caught by CIA will he turn again - or pretend to - sure there is another series in this , so his allegiance may remain undecided. He does not want to kill "innocents" - I think he wants to be let of the leash by Abu nazir. If he didn't stop the killing, maybe he knew he would be killed.

Conspiracy after conspiracy - I know

Yep, saw the tent here

I'm so tragic that I "like" Homeland on FB - anyway, tonight's exciting FB news is that a third season is confirmed. How can they possibly spin it out to a third season now Saul and Carrie know?

:o at the erectile method acting.

Dammit, just watched recording and for 2nd week in a row cuts out just before the end. Is the last scene his wife calling him a lier, or do I Helen from this thread the we jump back to Saul? If so, I'll track it down on 4oD...

the final scenes were of Saul going to visit Carrie at her home and showing her the tape of Brody's suicide mission confession and her joy at realising she was right all along.

Brody told the reporter woman last week (when she came to see him before he went in to the ?Senators office- where he got the info from his safe) that he could not continue helping them and that he wanted out.
Plus, as EdwardorEric said - wrong memory card retrieved by ?police/customs/intelligence........
Hence, my feelings that both he and Bassel were being set up being sent to the safe house - kill 2 for the price of 1 so to speak.
Maybe Brody will do a double bluff and start to work for his "Homeland" instead of Abul Nazir?............

I´d forgotten that he said he wanted out.

oooh yes double bluff - except that he obviously feels very strongly about the whole Isa murder/children being killed/US cover up thingy.

Am sure Dana is going to play a part in this somehow

The tenting nearly took my eye out.

I know, those trousers had an awful lot of extra material in the pleating to allow for such a tumendous tumescence.

I haven't seen series 1. Is it easily available on downloads?

The texting in front of the joint chiefs of staff didn't bother me, who would notice or ever imagine he's texting Abu Nazir? The only thing is that once they know Brody has been turned they could trace it on his phone records.

I think Dana's new relationship might come into play this season. She is getting close to the son of the Vice President. I think she might let something slip to him eg that her dad really is a Muslim.

Also Brody's fellow marines asking questions about Walker looks like it might be a factor. IMO it was a bit unbelieveable that Abu Nazir had Brody shoot Walker. I understand the factor of having Brody prove his loyalty/protect his newfound Congressman status, but from Abu Nazir's POV, a turned American soldier would surely be so valuable it would trump all that?

The trailer at the end of ep 3 (knocking on Brody's hotel room etc) seemed to imply that Carrie's going to be used in some kind of honeytrap sting

Saul won't hand over the recording, either because he is prevented or because he is the mole. If he hands it over then that will be the end of Brody and series 2!

Surely they block mobile phone signals form the special operations rooms though? And probably take your mobile off you before you go in? Can't imagine a bunch of people sitting in the White House Situations Room or wherever it was all texting their mates while they wait for the satellite to swing over the target etc.

I have to say, I love Estes. He's so venal. My guess is, not a baddie per se, but so flawed (ego, ambition, cowardice) he might as well be. Remember the moment in Ep1 when the reporter asks him out? We didn't see the resulting date, but that might be a storyline that resurfaces.

I thought the same, actually earlier in that episode it showed security taking brody's phone off him just to go into Estes office, surely a top secret meeting like that would warrant higher security than a casual meeting with Estes?
I agree that Dana and possibly her new "friend" will have a much bigger part to play this season.
Not sure if carrier will get reinstated though, I hope she does. But I the tape never makes it back to CIA she's still unreliable in their eyes.

I hope Saul is ok & it doesn't mean he's killed to leave Carrie alone again in knowing about Brody!

I love Dana - think she's hilarious & definitely key to keeping her dad on the right path as she seems to be the only one who can get through to him. Also, where has their son gone?

Love Homeland - it completely stresses me watching it!!

I'd assume that because Brody is close to the vp he has higher security clearance now so kept his phone.

I'm about to watch the next episide on RTE another stressful hour
