...before the previous thread here rolls off a cliff.

Someone wanted a character list. I have, with a bit of help from Wiki, come up with:
The Mighty Carrie
Quinn aka Woopert. Most of us definitely would, despite the resemblance to a ferret.
Lockhart - once hated, now we have some grudging respect.
Saul - all that is right and good in the world, with a passing resemblance to Life of Brian man who hasn't spoken in years.
Dar Adul aka Salieri - what's happened to him?
Fara - once an IT fraud geek, now an intrepid hands-on agent who doesn't keep enough of an eye on her bin bags.
Martha, the nice ambassador
Denis, her nefarious husband
John, second in command at CIA Lahore HQ, we're warming to him
Aayan aka Pi, now sailing the heavenly oceans with a tiger
Sandy, former CIA chief, now pushing up the daisies
Aasar Khan, aka Raza, aka Hot Spooks Guy
Bunran Latif, the General, aka Art Malik
Haqqani, the craggy Taliban leader who prefers to shag next to a bearded man chained to a radiator
Tasleen, aka one of the Kardashians.

Have I missed anyone?

Eeeeek! I had forgetten about Brody's family and the lovely Mike...

TreadSoftlyOnMyDreams · 04/12/2014 12:51

Tuning in just to watch Zaf now. I'll be gutted if they bump him off.

PeppermintInfusion · 04/12/2014 12:54

I think it was mentioned at one point that Virgil is doing private work now

chicaguapa · 04/12/2014 13:03

Thanks for the gorgeous photo(s) of Zaf. He makes me feel like I'm on heat. Grin

Chandon · 04/12/2014 13:10

I like Zaf too. Such a good face, great nose. Beautiful eyes.

I thought last week's episode very good, but I think Carrie should have allowed Saul to pull the trigger...

Vagndidit · 04/12/2014 13:21

Oooh, marking my place!

After being underwhelmed by last season, I am really surprised at how much I am enjoying this new sans Brody edition.

I too am missing Virgil...

Cocolepew · 04/12/2014 13:29

Mike is in The Blacklist now.

SecretSquirrels · 04/12/2014 14:00

Now if Zaf had played Brodie in the original series........

Travelledtheworld · 04/12/2014 19:20

Well done Hassled busy day eh ?
Joining the thread and the hordes of Woopert fans.

Howaboutthisone · 04/12/2014 19:22

I with you Chandon. I felt that it was the option he wanted and she should've backed him

Travelledtheworld · 04/12/2014 19:23

Personally I have gone right off Damien Lewis since I heard him use the phrase " counting my lady wife" on Desert Island Discs?
Hmm.

Travelledtheworld · 04/12/2014 19:24

Sorry "courting" ....bah.

Stuffofawesome · 04/12/2014 19:35

Hmm that's me looking quizzically at Carrie

hattymattie · 05/12/2014 08:31

Marking place - that thanks for character list.

BOFster · 05/12/2014 08:35

Reporting for duty.

BingoBonkers · 05/12/2014 18:11

Damien Lewis does nowt for me. I was impressed with his American accent though.

I am also mightily surprised that Homeland has carried on without Brody in such a successful way.

Anyone else find the opening credits eerie or is it just me and I am a weirdo?

SecretSquirrels · 05/12/2014 18:16

Heard Damian Lewis on DID today and I noticed the "lady wife" reference. He sounded about 103.
Yes that lion head thing gives me the creeps.

CoolCadbury · 05/12/2014 19:37

I find the opening credits really intense, jarring and uncomfortable. It's probably the jazz. Do you think it's a reflection of Carrie's mind?

YonicScrewdriver · 05/12/2014 19:45

Yes, I've always assumed it was carrie's mind.

oneowlgirl · 05/12/2014 20:08

Checking in & loving the opening post! Didn't think about the opening credits being Carries mind actually but that makes sense Grin

Hassled · 05/12/2014 20:57

The opening credits are downright freaky. I heard Obama's voice on the radio today and instantly thought - "We must, and we will, remain vigilant". The lion's head, the maze, the jazz - it's the work of an evil genius.

Signing up (was lurker on t'other thread)...

Just been on IMDB to track down where I know Zaf from - turns out he is Hari from Mistresses to me! IMDB also supplied this interesting fact: Lockhart's first name in RL is Tracy.

GypsyFloss · 06/12/2014 08:47

I loved Quinn taking charge in the ops room last week...he rolled his sleeves up, which according to my Dd is a sign of a hot man Grin . I'm also rather partial to Art Malik but not that fussed about Zaf.

Looking forward to tomorrow night which I'll be viewing on Monday, having read this thread first!

YonicScrewdriver · 06/12/2014 09:22

So Lockhart is Tracy and Saul is Mandy? Bet that doesn't happen much in TV!

HalleLouja · 06/12/2014 10:36

My Step mum's Son IL is American and called Kim.
