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 - I've seen that episode too

Carrie - complete fruitloop or genius?

Definitely genius - that's the frustration for me as we can see that but they can't & dismiss her as crazy!

Oohh I don't know. I could slap her sometimes

oh and wheres the son? dana had a younger brother. hope they havent done an eastender and mislaid the baby

Chris was in it briefly last night.

Well that´s Ep4 watched.

Ooh! May I please have a hint? Not an out and out spoiler, just a hint?

No! Wait until Sunday .

I've got a pet lip now.

Now now Eldritch, it's not fair to the others to give hints if they don't want any

BTW I agree, Estes is venal, great description. I wondered about the dinner too. Reporter and dep head of the CIA?

I still love Saul and he is Not the mole, sez I.

Re mobiles: I suppose the CIA have a rule about none allowed but the White House doesn't confiscate mobiles of Congressmen.

In "The West Wing" the Roosevelt Room where meetings are held is signal proof (apart from for Chinese officials!) so I would assume the Sit Room would be too.

Wouldn't have been as dramatic though for Brody to nip out to the loo at that moment

Have to say, I'd love a casual meeting with Estes, fnarr fnarr. David Harewood was reading the bedtime story on CBeebies this weekend, to my and DH's great amusement.

My BIL's been in the Sit Room, I'll have to ask him what happened about his mobile.

The real Sit Room? Wow. Hope he didn't press any buttons

He refuses to give me details. He goes to Bilderberg too.

Thinking about it-he's a shape-shifting lizard, isn't he? Pity, I do like him.

Eldritch, never mind the shape-shifting, he's a valuable asset, get some eyes and ears on him.
Who knows, we may yet save the world.

Ok whilst we are picking plot holes - how would carrie be able to get through to the briefing room without a pass etc ?

Oh, good point. I would have though if she wasn't working there any more, she'd be escorted to Estes office and not allowed to leave there without an escort either.

She had a pass, yellow I think, which she took off as she headed to the briefing. Maybe it was a particular grade of pass for those who are "OK". Estes' assistant didn't seem bothered by her going off.

She's v good, Claire Danes. I watched s1 over a weekend and found her acting the manic scenes a bit much, which was I think because only I missed the suspense and build-up.

I just watched Sunday's episode last night and OMG that scene in the forest! I couldn't believe he killed the guy while he was on the phone to Jess and then stood at the car wash rinsing the blood and mud off himself, in sight of anyone who was passing by - he looked totally psychotic during that bit.

I have so many questions now. How is he going to explain what happened with the tailor? What's going to happen with him and Jess? Is she going to get back with the other guy? They seem a much better match TBH. It's brilliant - I love it!

I thought Bassell fell on a metal spike, Brody lifted him off, tried to save him but he died. What did he do to kill him? (I must make more effort to pay attention as I completely missed it).

He broke Bassell's neck - seemingly beacause he was calling out while Brody was on the phone.

because

"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"

Saul returned late and didn't get to the debrief himself - Carrie was at her own home after finding she wasn't allowed to know what went on, had got dressed up, as if to go out, then had drugs and booze, then puked, then seemed like plenty of sleep [she had taken off the black dress and opened door in a dressing gown] and the fund raiser had finished when Saul knocked on her door and rang the bell, and twice he said he had come straight from the airport.

Have to agree with others that he'd be daft to take the call while in the forest with the tailor though, dumb to answer!

I thought he was helping lift him and he died. I clearly need to watch it twice!

"The fact that the director is pushing us so much towards Saul being the mole makes me think it can't be."

Sorry, never had a thought Saul could be a mole, esp as he has Jewish roots. I think any reluctance or hesitation is to protect his own back, esp if Carrie has some strange idea, so he's just a bit more cautious and closer to pension age!
