Here - scroll down a bit.

There's Quinn. There's Saul. There's the old bag-over-the-head routine. It's in Berlin. I am ridiculously excited.

Woah ! Exciting episode.
Won't be able to go to sleep now. ( watching on 4+1)

Travelledtheworld · 01/11/2015 23:05

I'm not really concerned about the cucumber. It's a healthy snack for a trained assassin. They don't get much time to eat a full meal very often in Homeland, do they?

Do you think the cucumber will be sneaking into every scene now?

mrsmilktray · 01/11/2015 23:10

You are all obsessed with the cucumber in that scene.
Surely Quinn plus the handcuffs is of more interest.

TheSpottedZebra · 01/11/2015 23:11

So in real life, the Russians are propping up Assad's regime, aren't they? And bombing ISIS in Syria.
So maybe Hair killed the general to keep As sad in power. So she's working for the Russians in that too and def fo double crossing Saul. And Saul remains good, but just got a bit randy back there as he misses Mira. As for Dal, who knows.

TheSpottedZebra · 01/11/2015 23:13

Actually I thought that when Quinn was walking out of the post office, before he got shot, he walked oddly. Maybe he sustained an injury in Syria? Maybe he does need to revamp his diet and eat more fibre, and that is the real reason he's in Germany? Or maybe he just has an odd gait, like him from 50 shades and that serial killer thing with her from X files?

Like the duck in the Usborne books? Grin

Jamie Dornan. I could have married him had my mum been more of a playdate parent. Still havent forgiven her.

"Actually I thought that when Quinn was walking out of the post office, before he got shot, he walked oddly"

Maybe he'd secreted the cucumber 'somewhere' about his person Shock

Travelledtheworld · 01/11/2015 23:50

I just thought Quinn was walking hesitantly for some reason.
Quick thinking by Carrie to slam the car into the gunmans car. That required a bit of lucidity. Is she back on her meds ?

Travelledtheworld · 02/11/2015 00:01

spottedzebra rd your comment on page 23, I thought the redhead said "Ja, er ist tot? " When she answered the phone. " yes, he is dead?" In German. Not Russian. But maybe that's because I was expecting her to speak in German.

PseudoBadger · 02/11/2015 03:42

My subtitles (which helped last week too!) said when she answered the phone.

Fiderer · 02/11/2015 05:45

Shock at the ending. WTFF? (I might just start saying "Lockhart" in RL when I can't say WTFF)

The cucumber and stuff on the table was just v German to me
Sharp knife, cucumber, black bread.

I heard her say "da" but didn't get what she then said. Knew she was a wrong 'un and hope she isn't doing some double triple trickery thing with Dar Salieri. But then he is black of heart so it wouldn't surprise me.

Although, would you answer your phone and say "Da somethingski" with your boss 5 feet away?

Rozalia0 · 02/11/2015 07:52

I just looked into this thread hoping for some enlightenment on homeland. Now I'm totally confused by references to Dave the plumber, # Dave lives. Let alone you hussies going on about cucumbers, handcuffs and Quinn. Homeland is obviously a lot deeper than I realised.

Who the fuck is Dave? What's his call out rate and is he gas registered?

Lweji · 02/11/2015 08:04

As hit men go, Quinn is crap. He got shot twice in a few days.
By Carrie and the man in the car.
I am more alert about my surroundings on a daily basis than this supposed secret agent.
Even Carrie distracted by all the children and off her meds beats him.

Roonerspism · 02/11/2015 08:26

lweji Grin

I don't know who Dave is either!

PseudoBadger · 02/11/2015 09:17

Dave is who we think Saul thinks that Quinn is off killing, whilst Hair has done the switcheroo on the mailbox.

Thanks Qwerty

Quinn doesn't need any actual expertise - he has his rugged good looks to get him through the days. Back at Langley they tell the new recruits that if they're hot they don't need to worry so much. Plus he has whatever superpower is bestowed on him by his cucumber habit.

I'm not convinced by the double triple trickery between Hair and Salieri. Maybe it's Hair, the Israelis and the Russians in some unlikely alliance?

Fiderer · 02/11/2015 16:23

I don't trust anyone and I have, for the first time, gone a bit cold on Saul for his bedding of Hair. Even if in the interests of national security.

Only one I might trust is HackerMan and it says something when the only one I might trust is called Douchebag backwards.

mrsmilktray · 02/11/2015 16:30

I trust Quinn and Carrie. No one else.
I don't even trust Franny.

PseudoBadger · 02/11/2015 17:23

I love cucumber. Eating it.

Hassled · 02/11/2015 17:36

Here's the WSJ blog on episode 4, telling us all the many, many ways in which Homeland cocked it up. They're missing the point, though - if it were factually accurate, would it be half as good? But I do like "it’s not professional – especially Claire Danes with that wig. She’s like, “How do I look?” You look like Claire Danes in a wig."
