Well, when I say almost what I mean is the 29th September in the US, and I think we were a week behind last series so early October - roll on the Autumn.

. One of the comments says that at the end Brodie says in Arabic "I am a muslim lost in this world..help me come clean again".

I CANNOT wait. I've missed Carrie so much. And Saul. Anyone sad enough to join me in the anticipation?

Is this the final series?

I don't think Claire Danes is involved as a producer, is she?

The internet isn't telling me how many seasons are planned, except this from last year which mentions "many" seasons.

Hassled, on the credits last night it said Clare Danes was producer.

I really don't want it to go on and on. Look how things went downhill when Keifer produced 24 and Sarah Jessica Parker Sex and the City. It just loses something when the celebs get involved.

Blimey - I hadn't realised. Let's just hope she's not the celeb producer kiss of death. She seems too grounded to bugger it up.

The Dana attempted suicide story came from nowhere didn't it? Presume Mike is going to come back on the scene and give Jess some moral support - or has her mum moved in because Mike is out of the picture?

I like the line when Carrie stormed into the restaurant off her head with anger and Saul tried to placate her with the offer of some tiramisu!!!

Really enjoyed that blog - great analysis (hope it's weekly and I'll be able to keep up this series). I also like the Huffington Post one.

SmellyFartado · 07/10/2013 19:22

OOooooooo. Lots of posts.

I think Saul has a secret plan for Carrie - by publicly distancing himself and the CIA from Carrie, he's giving her the freedom to track Brodie/baddies without any prying eyes.

I will NOT....repeat NOT be amused if Carrie ends up shagging Quinn a la ginger bloke from the corner shop last night. Hussy.

Think last night was a brewer..setting up tension for future episodes. Love this series already. Has been too long

nomorecrumbs · 07/10/2013 19:51

I loved the tiramisu line too. Do you think it was a bit symbolic? Like symbolic of how patronising they've been towards her up to now?

There there...crazy woman...have some dessert.

I think it shows that he's fundamentally Jewish, albeit a secular one! Another reason why I can't buy him as the mole. There's no way he'd be sympathetic to Islamic extremists.

Lighthousekeeping · 07/10/2013 21:18

What makes you think that?

GypsyFloss · 07/10/2013 22:09

I wonder if the writers have any idea how much we obsess over dissect their work :)

AnyFucker · 07/10/2013 22:14

Sure they do, they google for every single mention of their work Smile

BOF · 07/10/2013 22:18

It's come up before, Lighthouse, I think in the first series.

Lighthousekeeping · 07/10/2013 22:22

It was slow wasn't it? I'm glad Brody wasn't in it. How long do you think that will last for?

BOF · 07/10/2013 22:23

Here, we talked about it. I think they used the old cliché about food=comfort to remind us.

BOF · 07/10/2013 22:25

Did you read the blog I linked? It's helped me understand what's going on better- tbh, I've forgotten a lot since the last series. I'm kicking myself that I didn't rewatch it on 4OD while it was up.

ImperialBlether · 07/10/2013 22:31

Who was it who called Mrs Brodie "Miss Scarlett"? I can't watch her now without thinking that?

HoorahHilda · 07/10/2013 22:33

Carrie's dad was in Meet The Parents .. Owen Wilsons dad .He looks the spitting image of an older Owen Wilson .

vjg13 · 08/10/2013 11:26

Why was Saul absent from the memorial service at the end of the last series, I can't remember.

difficultpickle · 08/10/2013 13:25

I think there is more to Saul and that will come out in series 25 this series.

GypsyFloss · 08/10/2013 19:38

vjg13 He was burying Nazir at sea

vjg13 · 08/10/2013 21:42

Thanks for that!

GypsyFloss · 13/10/2013 09:14

He sounds quite charming in that interview.

Looking forward to tonight...I think Dana becoming more interested in what made her Dad change sides is definitely a potential storyline.

difficultpickle · 13/10/2013 10:03

Brody isn't in tonight's episode either according to what I read in the Radio Times. I assume he is in this series?
