Homeland Homeland Yes It's Homeland

[Hassled]

Trailer of lots of people with angst and not Phil Collins here. There's another trailer on the Homeland FB page but I can't find a non-FB page to link to. 15th January in US so I reckon 22nd for us - it's usually a week later.

So - Salieri/Dar Adul features prominently and Carrie has some issues with him. Someone's having a torch shone on their pupils - does that mean Quinn's alive but non-responsive? Baby Brodie is now school-aged. Could I be more excited?

Is she good, though?

Who was with Dar Adal on those photos?

She's good.

I reckon Carrie contacted Otto who contacted Astrid who busted Quinn out. Maybe.

The photos that Saul was shown of Dar meeting dark haired woman on a pier - was that the same Israeli woman Saul met who set him up with cigarette-packet man? What have I forgotten?

How does Max pay his bills? From whom does he get his income?

that was Toyah Rivlin with Dar in the photos matchsticks. Implication being that he was 'priming' her to tell Saul about the Iranian parallel programme. Dar bad, Saul good, is the basic theme.

Who was with Dar Adal on those photos?

That female Nissan agent, who's been commuting back and forth out of the watchful eye of the CIA. But clearly not the Ruskies.

Thanks. I really need to concentrate more!

Why was Mossad changed to Nissan? Now the Japanese are hacking too.

Does Otto know Astrid though? But I think you're right that Carrie's liberated Quinn.
As for Max's source of income - gosh, that's a good question.

He does a chandler bing tribute act on weekends. Work is drying up though since he grew the beard so he babysits for former CIA agents.

And what the hell was that squirrel thing about? DH decided that was the perfect time to faff about resetting the wireless router, so I missed it all.

The young recruit who told Saul he'd heard him lecture in training - that was straight from a Le Carre novel. Can't remember which one, but someone young and fresh admiringly tells Smiley they'd heard him lecture at Sarratt.

:o at Chandler Bing tribute act.

Babysitting.

Russians like to talk in fables.
Hangover from the communist days when you couldn't really say anything straight.

I'm sure Astrid and Otto knew each other in Berlin. Almost sure.

How do we know Astrid is good though?
How did they get into the hospital?
Why did they park the van so far away from the door?

So, is Otto dating Astrid or the PE?
That's what matters.

She's been good historically.

Also, she was in love with Quinn.

Astrid is good. I know it in my bones! Wasn't she very helpful to Carrie in last series? Or one before?

Astrid was good then. But things can change.

I'm pretty sure friendly foreign agents acting on US soil is not seen as very amicable. What could they be up to? Working with the PE?

At some point soon surely Carrie will run to Saul and say "I can't solve this on my own". We need more Carrie and Saul working together to save the world.

It's because Quinn and Carrie saved so many lives in Germany, he has a national treasure status and will be saved and shipped to Germany.

I might have made this up

That building thing was a private intelligence agency, appara. Like the one that Snowden was working for as a contractor when he did the leak...

I've read that David Hasslehoff and the Scorpions are going to headline the telethon for Quinn.

I'd ring in for the Quinn telethon.
