...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?

Clearly you are giddy at the thought of tonight's finale!

oneowlgirl · 28/12/2014 18:04

I'm giddy for tonight's episode Grin

FWIW, I watched Broadchurch & whilst the series was gripping, I thought the ending was pretty shit - disturbing, but shit nonetheless!

Cocolepew · 28/12/2014 18:25

I'm here but I'm not reading anything!

Will report back later

Will report back later

waitingforgodot · 28/12/2014 18:42

is it worth watching oneowlgirl?

nearlyreadyforstatelyhomes · 28/12/2014 18:50

I'm giddy too. Might be watching it later than 9 though as have a date with DH to start decorating the lounge...

Boardwalk empire is good too... Steady with a few big shockers. We liked it. My fave is still The Wire. Yet to start breaking bad.

oneowlgirl · 28/12/2014 19:36

It's ok waiting, but not up to the hype that surrounded it!

TheSpottedZebra · 28/12/2014 19:41

I am giddy at the thought of tonight's episode! (?)

Giddy, but sad. I am consoling myself by 'tidying up'. This means eating lots of lovely Christmas Carbs.

waitingforgodot · 28/12/2014 20:20

Nothing else for it! I shall be doing the same just shortly

oneowlgirl · 28/12/2014 21:00

Enjoy ladies - I always watch delayed & then enjoy reading your theories so will catch up shortly Grin

TensionWheelsCoolHeels · 28/12/2014 21:01

Signing in, no longer off grid & everyone has been warned to feck off for the next hour. Times like these I'm glad of DD's Minecraft obsession Grin

TheFirstOfHerName · 28/12/2014 21:07

Will be watching it tomorrow evening, so hiding thread till then...

WhyYouGottaBeSoRude · 28/12/2014 21:10

That was Brody's voice at the end of the opening credits.

TheSpottedZebra · 28/12/2014 21:13

Doesn't the sister look like Sheryl Crowe?

TensionWheelsCoolHeels · 28/12/2014 21:13

Yup, she does. This is sloowwww.

TheSpottedZebra · 28/12/2014 21:13

Ooh are they going to offer him the old job back?

TensionWheelsCoolHeels · 28/12/2014 21:16

Ooh, good call by sis - pointing out carrie's hypocrisy re her mum leaving.

MsRyanGosling · 28/12/2014 21:20

Can't stand Sanctimonious Sis Angry

TensionWheelsCoolHeels · 28/12/2014 21:24

Aw Quinn holding the babySmile

TensionWheelsCoolHeels · 28/12/2014 21:25

I'm going with the evil twin theory re Dar Adal.

TensionWheelsCoolHeels · 28/12/2014 21:30

Run away with him carrie!

OnTheThursdayOfChristmas · 28/12/2014 21:31

Oh FFS Quinn I thought you were smarter than that

TensionWheelsCoolHeels · 28/12/2014 21:32

There had better be a huge twist or cliff hanger at the end of this, it's a total anticlimax from last week.

OttiliaVonBCup · 28/12/2014 21:33

It's not going to happen, is it.

This episode has been too sedate until now, I keep expecting something to happen.
I thought someone was going to smack her and steal baby Frannie when she went to check on her.

OnTheThursdayOfChristmas · 28/12/2014 21:34

DP & I just said exactly the same Tension

DP reckons Quinn might cop it, give Carrie another season of crazy
