...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?

Do you think the phone call from Mira was the signal/ detonate? - good point. She was a bit suss last season with her dodgy boyfriend, wasn't she?

Martha needs to get those marines back pretty damn quick.

Signing out for tonight ladies. Until next week :o

CoolCadbury · 07/12/2014 22:11

I guess they hope that Carrie and Saul are dead and they are after Lockhart and everyone in the CIA station. Wiping the whole lot of them out.

I thought there was something in his glasses.
He put them on and boom!

ThursdayLast · 07/12/2014 22:13

I'm sad every week at 10pm on Sunday now.

DP and I were just saying that the only thing we remember of last season is sleazy paedophile in crumbling tower and Brody hanging

Where is Quinn? Do we know? He left the Ops Room, did he?

Notice that Denis only spoke up when he realised his own life was in danger. What a scumbag! I love homeland can't wait for the next one.
Does anyone know if it's in next Sunday? I think America are having a break from it tonight?

TheSpottedZebra · 07/12/2014 22:16

I'm twitchy at 10 o'clock.
I need to try really really hard to not Google spoilers. Again. I want to make sure that Carrie and Saul are alive.

TheSpottedZebra · 07/12/2014 22:17

No, our next episode is shown tonight in US I think. So the gap has already narrowed.
Previously they were 1 more ahead.

HalleLouja · 07/12/2014 22:17

I was thinking that Dennis was only speaking out when he was shitting himself.

I think I need to watch homeland again to see if Quinn is safe.

YY to Zaf saving the day topless.

CoolCadbury · 07/12/2014 22:17

My first thought was it was Mira's call that detonated the bomb but maybe it was just a coincidence? Mira's earlier call set up the whole bring back Saul alive, which obviously meant that he was not coming back alive, or at least, that is in doubt now. Poor Saul. He looked like a broken man.

SabsFabulous · 07/12/2014 22:17

What a fab episode!

My brother said they didn't show an episode last week in the US because of Thankgiving. Not sure if it's on tonight

TheSpottedZebra · 07/12/2014 22:19

Yup, it's def on next week here. Have just check listings.

But then what?

OttiliaVonBCup · 07/12/2014 22:19

I never liked Mira.
Hope he ends up with nice ambassador woman. She's a match for him.

oneowlgirl · 07/12/2014 22:20

I don't think Carries car had a direct hit but amazing if at least one of them (John) will be dead.

I'm hoping Martha got to Lockhart in time to stop the marines leaving & shoots the lot of them coming out of the tunnel!

Dennis is such a coward - he only said anything when he realised his life was in danger.

I assume taking the American embassy is what they're after - bonus if they also get the ambassador & head of CIA.

Hope Quinn is able to save the day!

I went off Mira when I found out she works for President Snow

Ledkr · 07/12/2014 22:21

Oh my god. I watched it about twenty minutes behind!
I was literally sat on the edge of my chair!! I had to wind back the blast scene and the ending!!!
I just can't wait untill next week.

ThursdayLast · 07/12/2014 22:22

I thought Martha was a stand out character this week. Such a wonderful strong female, I love her.

TheSpottedZebra · 07/12/2014 22:23

Bunny had an air of evil too today.
More than usual.

CoolCadbury · 07/12/2014 22:23

No, no, it don't want John to be killed. We like him.

CoolCadbury · 07/12/2014 22:24

Bunny?

I had a fleeting moment of thinking Art/Bunny would just shoot all the hostages, rather than taking their handcuffs off.

Much as I hate Tasleen Kardashian, I do like the fact there are such strong female characters in the show. I like that Carrie has an equally strong female counterpart. And yes, Martha was awesome.
