It's on early February, I'm not sure if that's USA or the UK as well, but I think we usually get it shortly after.
Can't wait for Carries crying face to be back on my screen 😣😟

Really, it's going to go down the road of Saudi-supplied COMPROMAT?
No idea why that's in caps.

I don't like Mr Carrie

The gap between his side burns and his beard really bother me Grin

Max...

I wasn't expecting that then.

St Saul on his way to collect Carrie Halo

PennyRoyal · 05/04/2020 22:07

How many more to go?

JuanSheetIsPlenty · 05/04/2020 22:09

As grateful as I am to see so much of big beardy on the screen I’m totally not buying his transformation into carrie’s Dogsbody/driver! I mean he is a huge player in this game in his own right- does he not have his own work to be doing? Grin

Poor Tall Russian, he had the look on his face that most people seem to have after spending a little time with Carrie.

There's an awful lot of loose ends to tie up, I thought this was the penultimate episode? Do they do double length series finales, I can't remember?

For the record. I am now on the fence about Saul's goodness. I hope he proves me wrong!!

TheSpottedZebra · 05/04/2020 22:23

Was it telling us something more that Tall Russian knew nothing of Max, yet Carrie apparently told him everything ? Is it possible that actually they weren't close and Yvgeny got that info another way. And the fact they mentioned the word compromat 3 times makes me think they were hinting...

So he's a Tall Russian Liar, which is a big shock, given he is a spy.

JuanSheetIsPlenty · 05/04/2020 22:23

Question for the saul doubters: what would you need to see to be sure saul was good?

JuanSheetIsPlenty · 05/04/2020 22:25

Was it telling us something more that Tall Russian knew nothing of Max

I think so. I was thinking maybe she didn’t tell him about her entire life at all. He’s just told her she did to make her open up and tell him more/trust him.

JuanSheetIsPlenty · 05/04/2020 22:26

She must have told him about the bath/Frannie thing though as he couldn’t have found that info anywhere else.

TheSpottedZebra · 05/04/2020 22:26

Fleur I was totally wrong re penultimate. Today was 8 of 12.

TheSpottedZebra · 05/04/2020 22:33

She must have told him about the bath/Frannie thing though as he couldn’t have found that info anywhere else.

He's a Russian spy, he'd have his methods! Maybe they're all spying on each other? Maybe the US agencies knew andbitcwas leaked to Russia? Maybe Frannie is the mole?

JuanSheetIsPlenty · 05/04/2020 22:39

Frannie the mole! Grin

WomanIsTaken · 05/04/2020 23:09

Urgh, Jalal is despicable. As is Mr Carrie.
Was it really Max' body on the stretcher, though? Nobody verified it.
And Carrie, as a seasoned agent, would have known that protocol would prescribe her to be searched upon collection after her time with Yevgeny, a GRU agent, surely? So why get so stoked about it -unless she was hiding something...
And if Faisal knew Jalal didn't shoot down the presidents' helicopter, then who did? I can only think it would have been the Russians or Gulam (sp?) despite him seeming as surprised as everyone else when he told Tasneem.
And what's happened to Samira!?
The last week of lock down protocol has got to me, I think. I'm not normally particularly suspicious.

JuanSheetIsPlenty · 05/04/2020 23:25

And Carrie, as a seasoned agent, would have known that protocol would prescribe her to be searched upon collection after her time with Yevgeny, a GRU agent, surely?

Yes it was lazy writing. They needed a reason for her to run to beardy.

BehindTheGreenDoor · 05/04/2020 23:30

The gap between his side burns and his beard really bother me me too! Grin He seems very trendy to be working in the White House, he looks like he belongs in a hipster barbers.

Poor Tall Russian, he had the look on his face that most people seem to have after spending a little time with Carrie.

Ha! he definitely looked weary, probably thinking hmm, really not sure she was worth all that effort.

I'm also surprised they didn't check Max's body for explosives or to check it was really him.
Also Shit President took just took Mr Carries word for what was on the video, they could have been saying anything.

Oh btw if anyone’s interested - the episode was called Threnody - there’s a piece of music called Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima by a Polish composer called Penderecki - he passed away last week. His music was used in quite a few films I think -The exorcist, the Shining and Twin peaks.

StSaulOfSnacks · 06/04/2020 08:26

Glaring that they didn't check the body but wanted to search Carrie. Saul's influence has well and truly waned now. And who is Mr Carrie that he was invited to the White House by Crap Pres?

Kinraddie · 06/04/2020 08:37

Agree, what role/position does Mr Carrie have? It's really not been made clear. Is Ken Barlow Jnr, the Chief of Staff?

Kinraddie · 06/04/2020 08:39

And what ever happened to Max's brother Virgil?

Lweji · 06/04/2020 10:34

Mr Carrie may be a Senior Advisor to the President.
Roles now fulfilled by daddy girl Ivanka, deer in spotlight Jared, and most crucially Stephen Creepy Miller, with a strong hint of Stephen Breitbart Bannon.

Lweji · 06/04/2020 10:35

Carrie inherited Max from Virgil when she needed something done that Virgil couldn't or wouldn't, iirc. Because he was CIA, but Max wasn't?
I don't remember what or when, though.
