Fellow Homelanders - there is a Season 4 trailer!

[Hassled]

Here. At one point Quinn appears to be either hugging or killing Salieri - apart from that it tells you very little. But still - Homeland!!!

I reckon (based on nothing except slowly building hype and last year's timings) that we're looking at late September/early October. Can we cope in a world without Brody?

Must be cocaine then?! (Like I would know...duh)

That Zaf guy is gorgeous. Wasn't he the guy in Mistresses who was married to the beautiful Irish one?

So was Zaf in on the plot to drug Carrie?

Really enjoyed tonight although DH guessed the Brodie bit...

LSD ?

Well that was painful

Cocaine is not an hallucinogen though- I think it was LSD or psyllcybin or something similar. Certainly more than just withdrawing her normal meds. We've seen Carrie off her meds before, but the auditory and visual hallucinations were way past how her bi-polar used to affect her.

I like that Zaf has probably been educated in the UK.

Apologies for awful spellings, but you know what I mean.

Magic Mushroom drug ?

Psilocybin !

How confusing.

And would Mrs Bad Uncle really want to have sex with Saul in the room?

I doubt Mrs Bad uncle had much choice in the matter.

Great ep, poor, poor Carrie although nice bonus getting to stroke the gorgeous Zaf, vast improvement on Brodie

So, is she abducted now, or what? Wasn't too clear on what they're doing with her.

Poor Saul looked devastated that he might be the cause of a large prisoner swap. The last thing he'd want, I imagine. He'd probably rather die than cause any US soldiers to risk their lives for him. I thought he was probably quite fascinated to actually be in the heart of the terrorist community that he has followed from afar for his whole career though. He's an intelligent, reasonable man and can probably relate to them on many levels.

Still upset about the near spoiler on this thread though, so I won't be reading until after each ep from now on.

Was it Mrs Bad Uncle? When we saw her outside the home, she was mid to late 30s perhaps. Or more.

When we saw her, ahem, in flagrante, she was young.

I assumed it was Mistress Bad Uncle. Possibly a professional. To signal to us that he wasn't pure in the Islamic sense. So a hypocrite.

Wait, why are we calling him Zaf. Is that his name?

Yes, I'm wondering how that seduction went down: "Darling, I thought I'd introduce some handcuffs into our lovemaking. You don't mind if I chain an elderly Jewish gentleman to the radiator, do you?"

His name is Khan in this- I think he was Zaf in Spooks?

He was Zaf in spooks. Oh my god he's a total improvement on Brodie. Though it was nice to see him.

Ahhh, Zaf in Spooks! Got it. I couldn't Google his name you see (in this), as I am avoiding spoilers.

He will always be zaf to me, criminally under used in Spooks!

Why doesn't Quinn implant a tracking device in her shoe ?

I think he should implant one under skin! She needs watching, that one!

Just caught up on the rest of the thread. Very glad i didnt do that before the episode

So was that Quinn in the hospital that she belted, or was it her delusional self seeing Quinn when really it was A.N.Other security guard?

It was a doctor, I think.

Yes i thought it was a doctor too. Or security. Definitely not quinn.

I don't know if she was really in the hospital. If she was, what happened to Max and Fara?

Yes I'm confused as to why the team weren't listening to her conversation with Pi's ex at the very least.

How they didn't realise that she was wandering around the streets of Karachi/islamabad all alone and confused is just bizarre. How did they not see her being thrown out of the hospital??

Zaf is a definite improvement on Brodie, and very much alive.

So the CIA managed to lose Sandy - the original station manager, Saul - the ex- director and now Carrie - the present manager.

Good job that.

Homeland doesn't really show the CIA as a competent organisation does it ?
This is a good blog from the Wall Street Journal, with an insiders perspective.

BEWARE OF SPOILERS though, don't peep at the episodes that haven't been aired in the UK yet.
