HOMELAND- Is that a cucumber Quinn or are you pleased to see us? NO SPOILERS PLEASE WE'RE BRITISH

[TheSpottedZebra]

Da.

I've just seen a comment on a Homeland blog suggesting a spin-off show called 'Quinnvincible'

I'm always amused by the fact that the 'Intelligence Expert' on the WSJ blog comes from the International Spy Museum.

Sounds like something we'd take our spy children to. There'd be James Bond exhibition and we'd get nagged in the gift shop for more invisible ink & gadgets.

Oo missanneshirley- good spot!

Fiderer International spy museum is in Washington DC if you ever get the opportunity to visit. It's supposed to be really good.

I've been looking at the website of the International Spy Museum - they have an online exhibit about a Danish former jihadi (Agent Storm) who turned double agent for the CIA. I've been reading a bizarre set of emails between agent and his Al Qaeda boss, none of which I really understand. It all seems a bit surreal.

That was a damn good spot re the smoking signals. Not lighting a fag = don't kill Carrie, lighting a fag = kill her, kill her now, three pats of dog's flank = she'll be dead before Christmas.

I've just had a look at the website too. V impressive list of intelligence bods who are on their Advisory Board of Directors and Advisory Council, inc Stella Rimington.

But I at the "Former Chief of Disguise, Central Intelligence Agency"

Wonder who was disguised as the dog.

And yes, the do have an exhibition: "Exquisitely Evil: 50 years of Bond villains"

I've been reading a bizarre set of emails between agent and his Al Qaeda boss, none of which I really understand. It all seems a bit surreal.

Was it something like
"This is nighthawk"
"The package will arrive by lung distance dick"
?
guess which other spy series I'm rewatching with ds?

Also does the spy museum actually give an address? Isn't it disguised as some other sort of museum? Say, the Really, really boring museum that will bore you to death and nobody quite knows what it is because we won't explain it properly.

There was nothing about lung distance dicks :o.

The link is here. They seem to be discussing foot size and alcoholic chocolates. I just can't crack the code.

They are clearly talking about donations to the cause and size of the suicide vest, or how they'll send some hidden detonator in the shoes.
Must read the rest later

What's with the "smelly"? Code or delicate disposition?

I am still amused by the CIA's Chief of Disguise. It sounds like it's something we'd come up with as a training course that Bad Wig Carrie missed.

Lweji "Also does the spy museum actually give an address?"

I googled it and got a handy Google map.

FYI Smuggle sell Uv pens with a light in the cap so you can read your invisible writing.

Phew, thank GOD Quinn is alive.

I too thought it was utterly ridiculous that they sent two women alone, just armed with hand guns ffs!

I thought the women with the dog was dodgy....but we haven't seen how yet have we?

Is next week the last episode? I REALLY want Carrie and Quinn to end up together!!

Two episodes left.

Quinn was found alive. The question is, will he survive?

Are the lights on those invisible ink pens, UV lights?
Don't try them in hotel bed covers, then.

Not lighting a fag = don't kill Carrie, lighting a fag = kill her, kill her now, three pats of dog's flank = she'll be dead before Christmas.

It's so obvious when you think about it yes, looking at you, stupid CIA man who thinks Hair's innocent

Carrie is far too selfish for Quinn. He should be with Astrid or his ex- landlady. They both appreciate him and wouldn't have left him dying behind a bin for 9 days.
( I loved it when he knocked out that guy who was making nasty comments about ex-landlady.)

But he'll do anything for her. It's a great match. He also won't berate her for all the lost lives, unlike Jonas.

I can't believe I fell asleep watching episode 11 last night. My excuse is that I'm ill.

I agree rosiebiggs!

The last episode is next week and not tonight.

Do not let anyone get in the way of tonight's episode. Gripping stuff. (if also full of holes)

Sadly, I will have to wait for the last episode. Here it would fall right on the 25th and it's not on.

Signing in.
Saul snacks might be chocolates but stomach is sore from knocking painkillers in me, so it's touch and go at the moment.
Invisible ink and spy glass at the ready .

It's been tricky, but we're doing apprentice tonight, homeland tomorrow.
See you on the other side.
Give Quinny Quinn Quinn my love

I have the traditional Christmas ailment - in that I've finished work so now's the perfect time to get a bloody cold. Am feeling cross and pathetic - Carrie had better not piss me off tonight.

DS said he wanted to watch ironman 2. I told him to clear off.

Just had to sacrifice the Masterchef Oz final for this!
