Homeland (Season 5 On Now/Renewed for Season 6)

[Locke.]

Homeland is an American psychological thriller television series developed by Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa, based on the Israeli series Hatufim, also known as Prisoners of War, which was created by Gideon Raff.[1] The series stars Claire Danes as Carrie Mathison, a CIA operations officer who has come to believe that an American Marine, who was held captive by Al-Qaeda as a prisoner of war, was turned by the enemy and now poses a significant risk to national security.

The pilot episode has received universal acclaim, scoring a Metacritic rating of 91 out of 100 from 28 critics.[27] Hank Stuever of The Washington Post gave the pilot episode an A-, saying "What makes Homeland rise above other post-9/11 dramas is Danes's stellar performance as Carrie—easily this season's strongest female character" and that "The latter half of the first episode is exhilarating. I'm hooked."

Showtime renewed the series for a second season of 12 episodes, with production scheduled to begin in spring 2012.

Looks like it will be fairly brilliant :worship:

Channel 4 are showing it over here, not sure when.

[Tom4784]

It looks interesting, I'll give it a go.

[Locke.]

Just watched the first one, probably the strongest opening episode I've seen since Lost in 2004. Claire Danes is really good in it.

[SoBig]

Its a great show. I started watching it back in September.

[Niamh.]

I like Claire Danes, sounds good

[GypsyGoth]

I watch the first one last night, I wasn't expecting much. I thought it was brilliant. I just started the second one :amazed:

I have caught up with America now. There has only been one bad episode so far, and even the ending to that made up for it. The latest episode was one of the strongest so far aswell.

I've downloaded the the first 10 eps :D just started part 3 now. I'm gonna watch them all.

[Shaun]

shall give it a go when it comes to C4 - I loved Danes in Temple Grandin

[Locke.]

Episode 11 was brilliant. Claire Danes has got the lead actress emmy tied up, there is no way she cannot win it now.

Next weeks finale looks incredible. This show is head and shoulders above every other show on TV at the minute

[Ramsay]

Claire Danes :lovedup:

[arista]

It looks interesting, I'll give it a go.


Yes Ideal for Ch4HD

Sunday's Homeland finale pulled in highly impressive ratings for Showtime.

The dark drama series, starring Claire Danes and Damian Lewis, concluded with 1.7 million viewers in its 10pm timeslot, growing to over 2m across the night's other airings.

As well as being its highest-rated episode since premiering in the fall, Homeland has become Showtime's best freshman series.

Exec producers Alex Gansa and Howard Gordon have said that the show will change radically in next year's second season, which was commissioned in October.

Homeland's first season will premiere in the UK in the New Year on Channel 4.

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/ustv/news/a356869/homeland-finale-logs-record-ratings-for-showtime.html

The finale itself was pretty good. Anyone watching should avoid watching the promo though, it spoils far too much.

[GypsyGoth]

Just finished watching the last part

I really wanted her to be proved right and get her job back, she was brilliant for figuring it all out, it seemed really unfair the way it ended for her, she should be the hero and that solider guy should be in the mental hospital getting the shock treatment

anyway I thought the series was very good, well worth watching to the end.

[Locke.]

Channel 4 have been playing the promo for the last week or so, air date hasn't been confirmed yet but it's apparently the 18th of February. This thread just about sums up why you must all watch it - http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1624258

It has already been renewed for a second season, and recently won Best Drama at the Golden Globes, as well as Claire Danes winning Best Lead Actress.

[lostalex]

I just started watching this show a couple of days ago, and it's AMAZING. SOOO good.

But i was actualy looking for a thread about this show because something has been pissing me off about it, the BLATENT advertising in it. Have you noticed that all of the laptop computers have a windows logo instead of an apple logo on them? Since when is there any computer with a windows logo on it in the world? there arn't any. And this last episode i just watched, it literallty spent 30 seconds talking about Vitamin Water. he was like "what's vitamin water? is it some type of medicine? then the cashier is like no! it's like flavoured water, it's totally delicious!" LMAO.

This advertising in the middle of the show is really annoying imo.

I do love Homeland though, it's amazing show.

[SharkAttack]

Saved all of the shows and watched them in order after the entire round aired. Much nicer than having to wait week to week. Marathon style. :D

That's how i watch all premium cable shows. It's the only way. Whenever i try to watch these 1 hour drama's in order in time, i always forget so much between eps. Watching them in a marathon is sooo much better.

[Locke.]

I can live with getting one a week like most cable shows are, shows on the mainstream channels like Fox, ABC, etc are a lot worse.. so many breaks and repeats of past episodes.

Just watched the first episode. I like it. Didn't know Emile Heskey was in it though.

[Joelle.]

Watched 2 so far and it's brilliant. Mickey Bricks from Hustle has put a few pounds on though :suspect:

[Mystic Mock]

I have to say that Virgin Media describe this dreadfully,but i've given the show a chance and I love it so far,it kind of reminds me of 24.

[Locke.]

It is from the same guy behind 24, less action and more drama though

Yeah first series, won the Golden Globe for Best TV Drama a couple of months ago.

[Niamh.]

It's really good, didn't think it'd be my kind of thing at all but I love it

[Mystic Mock]

Due to Virgin Media's incompetence im hoping that I can catch this on the Demand service tonight,if I can't then I will have to illegally download it.

[Shaun]

Think it is 4 or 5 episodes in on Channel 4

The Sunday just gone was episode 6.

I wasn't surprised by Danes/Lewis getting it on (I need to learn character names)... intrigued to see what happened to the blonde woman on the run though

[arista]

On Ch4HD now

[Jords]

I have it on in the background if that counts :D

[Shaun]

Hmm, my guess is that he's been brainwashed rather than implicitly turned.

edit: :o oh. Didn't see that coming.

[Niamh.]

OMG Shock horror, great episode!

[Locke.]

What episode was it?

[Niamh.]

What episode was it?

The one where Carrie and Brody go to the Cabin and he finds out she's been spying on him and she asks him loads of questions and then she finds out that it was Tom Walker who was the POW who'd turned and he was still alive


I never saw that coming!

[Locke.]

Oh yeah that ending was really good, Tom Walker is a great character in it from there on

[Niamh.]

Yeah, can't wait for the next episode now

[Visage]

Finally finished this series at the weekend, it really was a brilliant first season.

Totally had me on edge till the very end and as mush as I tried, I could not predict which side Brody was on.

Claire Danes has been fantastic in her role.

Looking forward to to season two.

[Locke.]

Damian Lewis's Homeland soared to a new high of nearly 2.6m last night (Sunday), despite facing major BBC and ITV dramas.

As the mystery surrounding Brody began to unravel in 'Crossfire', episode nine of 12, 2.15m (8.5%) watched on Channel 4 at 9pm, with a further 421k (2.3%) on +1.

Increasing over 400k week-on-week, the US show edged its previous best in March and is cementing itself as one of Channel 4's best-rated imports in recent years.

Brilliant

[Enid]

I watched this as it aired in the states so it's been a while. Second series should air at the end of the year.

Clare Danes is amazing and her character is very realistic. I love the messed up broads.

[Locke.]

Second season is due out in October in the US I think

the teaser for S2 with the questions is good.

[Mystic Mock]

I liked the finale, I think that the show has had stronger episodes personally.

[Shaun]

The finale :worship:

Can't see how Carrie is going to get back though. Even though she cottoned onto Nazir's son being in the blast, and Brodie remembering his name, the whole electroshock ending left it a bit open.

I love the show though. Fantastic acting all around.

Homeland executive producer Howard Gordon has offered some hints about the show's second season.

Gordon confirmed that the next run of episodes will focus heavily on the dynamic between former marine Brody (Damian Lewis) and unstable CIA operative Carrie (Clare Danes).

The pair's fledgling romance came to an abrupt end in the first season, following the revelation that Carrie had Brody under surveillance and suspected him - correctly - of working undercover for Al-Qaeda.

"We were left with a love story - a tragic love story - between Brody and Carrie that had quite a lot of room to grow," Howard told GQ in reference to the second season's plot.

Lewis has hinted that Brody will still be "vulnerable and unstable" in season two, despite his advancing political career.

Meanwhile, Danes suggested that the second season will find Carrie "a little less paranoid, a little less high-strung", following the course of electroconvulsive therapy she undertook in season one's finale.

NOOOOOOOOO love story

Finally got round to watching this a few weeks back. Part of me didn't think it would live up to all of the hype surrounding it but it really did. Phenomenal performances from Claire Danes and Damien Lewis, in fact the whole cast did a fantastic job. Last episode of the season was a bit lackluster but I'm just glad there's a second season. Brilliant show.

[Shaun]

think it starts September 30 in the states

[Mystic Mock]

It had a fantastic first season, let's just hope the second season is the same.

[Locke.]

Drop the love story and the first season was near perfect. Hopefully they don't bother with the love crap again in season 2, and give Saul more to do.

Homeland season two is to premiere in the UK on October 7 on Channel 4.

The thriller - which stars Claire Danes and Damian Lewis - will reclaim its 9pm slot on Sunday nights from next month.

Alternatively you can watch it on the RTE Player on the 2nd of October so you dont have to wait 5 days..... I'll be watching at RTE pace....

Watched the first episode of this a couple of days ago and became quite hooked, amazing show :worship: finished the first season tonight, just gonna watch the first episode of season 2 now

[Iceman]

when Saul watched the video brody made I jizzed

[Shaun]

omfg when Carrie was going through the informant's husband's apartment I was literally jittering, such a tense scene :worship:

[Shaun]

oh my TITS THAT CLIFFHANGER

[Niamh.]

2nd episode was amazing :amazed:

My prediction - Saul rings Carrie and tells her about the video, Saul get killed before he can show anyone, no one believes Carrie about Brody so she'll have to spend the season finding proof

[Locke.]

You bastards, posting about episode 2 :nono: Didn't realize it had aired yet.

First episode was decent. Can tell it's from the maker of 24 though, had the exact same start as the second season of that. Jack/Carrie retire/fired, someone from one of their past mission shows up, they are needed back just for the one special mission.

[Niamh.]

I spoilered mine :hmph:. We're an episode ahead on Irish TV

[Shaun]

I didn't reveal any major spoilers :laugh:

I don't think they'd kill off Saul... maybe that's wishful thinking though :( dammit Niamh if it happens I'll slap you :mad:

did the Saul-video-ending remind you of the Hank-book-ending of Breaking Bad S5 btw? :laugh:

[Niamh.]

I didn't reveal any major spoilers :laugh:

did the Saul-video-ending remind you of the Hank-book-ending of Breaking Bad S5 btw? :laugh:

lmao Yes but this was only episode 2, great cliffhanger for an early episode

I just can't see what else they can do, Brody can't be caught in episode 3 so I think Saul will have to be killed before he can report it(after he tells Carrie though) The CIA will just think she's having another break down

[MTVN]

From the episode 3 preview (I guess don't read this if you don't want to know any details at all about the next ep btw)

it looks like you might be right Niamh, seems Brody might even be killing him himself, don't really want Saul to be killed off but I don't want Brody to be caught either. Really good ep though, didn't see the ending coming at all

[Mystic Mock]

I've only watched the first episode of season 2 so far and I thought it was a good return, hopefully it's as good as season 1.

[Joelle.]

A fantastic first 2 episodes. This show has just cemented it's title of best show currently on TV.

Someone just give Claire Danes the Golden Globe now please :worship:

[Shaun]

she already won it didn't she? :laugh:

[Joelle.]

Yep for season 1, but I mean the one she shall win in 2013. :laugh:

Yeah, I like Saul but he has to go if they want to keep Brodys cover intact

[Shaun]

you bloody leave Saul and his lovely beard alone okay :mad:

[Niamh.]

Maybe he'll slip and bump his head and get amnesia Shaun.............oh and the video of Brody will fly out of his hand while he's falling and get crushed by a truck :idc:

[Locke.]

Episode 2 was amazing, going to have to watch episode 3 tonight now can't wait until sunday after a cliffhanger like that.

And they better not even think about killing Saul, the best character on the show :idc:

[Shaun]

Loved episode 3, the ending with Carrie's relieved sigh :love: and the Brody (/Brodie) scenes were excellent.

[Iceman]

Episode 3 was ****ing amazeballs..... loved every scene.....arghhhh a whole week till episode 4

[Niamh.]

Saul tells Carrie, no one other than her knows about Brody yet..............my prediction will come true I'm afraid

Poor Claudia is viewing this thread right now and has no doubt stumbled across a life threatening spoiler thanks for Niamh

[MTVN]

Yes, I opened this thread and saw Niamh's post but thankfully only read the first couple of words before I realised it might be an episode 3 spoiler, going to have to stay out of here till Sunday it seems

[King Gizzard]

Why do we have to do spoilers anyway, once it's aired it's aired, don't have spoilers for Emmerdale

[King Gizzard]

I know people wait for it to air here but still :idc: don't read the thread

Hasn't aired in England, only America and maybe Ireland

Ireland get it before any other country except America, same with most US shows....

Well it would be a bit silly if you had to have seen an episode that even hasn't aired in this country yet in order to look at this thread :idc:

[Joelle.]

Wasn't sure how they were going to improve on the first season, but so far the first two episodes have been even better. Carrie and Saul are the best characters on TV at the moment. :worship:

[GypsyGoth]

Poor Claudia is viewing this thread right now and has no doubt stumbled across a life threatening spoiler thanks for Niamh

:laugh:

I avoid this thread until I've downloaded and watched the latest :D

[Niamh.]

I'm sorry, I saw Shauns post and assumed you'd seen it :/ I've spoilered mine

[MTVN]

I thought that episode was a bit of a let down, the cliff hanger at the end of the last ep built this one up to be really big but then it only returns to it in the very last minute which was a bit frustrating, I wasn't that bothered about the Brody and the tailor story either

[MTVN]

Episode 4 preview

vwerbil_0b0

Are you still so sure about your theory Niamh :xyxwave:

I think that Carrie will end up protecting him because of the whole being in love with him thing and also because she's pretty pissed off herself at the CIA and authorities herself

[Locke.]

Just watched episode 3. Agree with MTVN we should have seen a lot more of the fallout of Saul finding the tape instead of Jess and her silly function, but it was still pretty good, nowhere near on the level of episode 2 though.

The overseas scenes are usually the best, hopefully Brody ends up getting found out properly and goes back to Iraq, and Carrie somehow gets reinstated and her mission is to track him down over there.

My guess is that they'll be pulling another 24 plot out the bag soon regarding the recording of Brody, spoilered just in case

There is still a mole in the CIA from Season 1 (probably Estes, as Galvez would be too obvious, it obviously isn't Carrie, and Saul is too cool for that.) Saul will bring the chip in to have it analysed or whatever, and the mole will delete it. There'll be no proof it ever existed other than Saul & Carrie's word and there will be nothing they can do to stop Brody carrying on doing what he is doing.

[Locke.]

How great are Saul's hats

Homeland has been renewed for a third season by Showtime.

The network has ordered 12 more episodes of the Claire Danes drama, which will air in 2013.

The second season has been attracting higher ratings with each episode in the US, with last night's episode being its most watched yet with 1.75m viewers.

The ratings are even higher in the UK, where the season one finale attracted nearly 3m viewers. Channel 4 had already acquired the rights to a potential season three before it was announced.

Homeland also recently swept the top awards at the Primetime Emmys, winning the 'Lead Actor' (Damian Lewis), 'Lead Actress' (Danes) and 'Outstanding Drama' accolades.

Showtime president David Nevins said: "The Emmy wins for Homeland have certainly set the stage for a great second season.

"The writers, cast and crew of Homeland continue to create a remarkably entertaining and suspenseful roller coaster ride, growing audiences week after week."

Another great episode. although a bit predictable, I knew that they would turn him into a CIA informant and now he's on "our side" again, that way they can keep up the suspense of "well, is he REALLY on our side? or is he still working for Abu Nazir?" it was the obvious solution to the story...

It's still a great show though. It's my favorite drama show actually. This was a very predictable episode though. Even when his daughter ran over that guy in the street, i totally saw that coming. Because it's such an obvious parallel of "accidentally killing someone" just like the drone strikes. His daughter accidentally killed someone by being reckless, just like sometimes in war innocent civilians get killed in war, but just because you accidentaly kill someone doesn't make you a bad person. i mean basically his daughter is now just as guilty as Walden of killing innocent civilians. BUt it was an accident. ANd people dying from an accident is NOT the same as TARGETING INNOCENT CIVILIANS. I think Carrie made that point well last night, when she explained to Brody how Abu Nazir targets innocent civilians in all of his attacks, he doesn't target soldiers, or bases, he targets markets with women and children.


It's a good show, I love Homeland. I just love it. It's the only show i really get excited about every week.

I just watched too but put a spoiler tag around that, it's really unfair on the rest.

Before that happened with Dana I was getting the feeling that she'd become a terrorist......I still think she will she'll find out the turth about Brody in the finale of this season and then for the rest she'll become a terrorist and Abu Nazir has her working for him and brody finds out......season 4 finale a race against time to stop her from being found out by the CIA/Killing herself....... maybe im a bit crazy :crazy:

[Locke.]

Episode 5 was great

Interrogation scenes were the best part, not really bothered about the daughters storyline (but at least she has a purpose unlike the son)... I think that storyline will probably progress to the VP's son getting kidnapped, and maybe her aswell, and then go from there... but I hope not, can't be bothered with that.

Damian Lewis secured his emmy win in this episode aswell.

Did you know? Answer the question!!!!!!

[Niamh.]

Ah just watched ep 4 amazing :amazed: So shocked Carrie did that, hope she doesn't get fired again lol :amazed:

[Iceman]

Niamh watch episode 5!!!!!!!

[Niamh.]

[Iceman]

yeah it should be up there by midnight id say.....

[Niamh.]

Well I could watch it live couldn't I? Is it tonight it's on?

[Iceman]

yeah but it wont be uploaded onto the player for probably an hour or two.....

[Niamh.]

Yes but can't I watch RTE Live on the internet though? Gav watches the news like that

[Iceman]

Oh im not too sure about that I've never tried lol

[Niamh.]

Also I watched the Katie taylor fight live on the internet while I was at work. What time is Homeland on tonight?

[Iceman]

9 I think? it's usually 9

[Niamh.]

Cool, Ill watch it tonight then

[Iceman]

yeah it's on at 9

[Shaun]

Loved the newest episode, the interrogation was really intense :love:

[Locke.]

Wish they would hurry up and reveal who the mole is, really hope it isn't Estes though

[MTVN]

Good ep, didn't think Brody would break so easily though. Agree with lostalex that the bit with Dana and the VP's son was a bit predictable as well, imagine how crap it would be if your job was just to follow that little sh*t around all day :idc:

[Niamh.]

I thought they were going to be kidnapped ^

Good episode though, Claire Danes is a brilliant actress, can't work out if she's still really into Brody or is just putting on an act

[Locke.]

Just watched Episode 6

RIP Galvez :( Always thought he was the mole, but I guess not. Glad it looks like Quinn has survived, he is probably my second favourite character at the minute after Saul.

[Shaun]

watching E6 now... the exchange between Brody's daughter and the hit and run victim's daughter :(

[Locke.]

Just watched last nights Jonathan Ross show, Damian Lewis was brilliant on it

[Iceman]

Galvez isn't dead!

and in next weeks episode Carry and brody try to run away together! :amazed:

[Locke.]

If Galvez lives he is definitely the mole.

[Iceman]

If Galvez lives he is definitely the mole.

are you up to date with episodes

[Locke.]

Yeah been downloading the episodes and watching them the day after they air in America

[Iceman]

ah right....so is there anyone watching at C4 pace or are we all a week ahead of them?

[Locke.]

Not too sure what pace Shaun and MTVN are watching at

[MTVN]

Only just seen episode 6, generally been watching them at UK air time but I've had internet problems since Sunday so only just been able to see it. Not sure why I'm doing it by the UK air date though considering I just end up watching the eps on putlocker or gorillavid anyway

Episode 6 was good though, that scene in the tailors at the end :worship: can't decide whether I think Brody is genuinely working with the CIA or not

[Shaun]

Not too sure what pace Shaun and MTVN are watching at

trying to watch at US pace but usually watch the episodes during the week, rather than first thing. Have always been ahead of UK pace though.

[Iceman]

omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg OMFG

That episode was incredible.....

g8WdwRsiR3o

[Shaun]

the last one :lovedup: with the helicopter ending

[Iceman]

:o what an episode......

[Niamh.]

Ohhhhhhhhhh I'm going to watch this tonight :amazed:

[Shaun]

that ep :o

So what's with them going to kill Brodie if they've killed/caught Nazir? :/

[Iceman]

I know, we must only have 1-2 episodes left now?

[Iceman]

3 left.....

[arista]

On Ch4HD now

[MTVN]

That was the best episode of the season I think, it hasn't been as good as season 1 in general I wouldn't say but that raised the standard again, the Quinn storyline is really good. Gonna go straight on and watch the next one now

that ep :o

So what's with them going to kill Brodie if they've killed/caught Nazir? :/

I guess if they have Nazir they don't need him anymore and the safest thing to do is just to shoot him

[MTVN]

Ok that was the best episode of the series

Brody at the end as Walden was dying :worship:

Just remembered how Estes agreed to meet with Roya at the start of this season, reckon she could have been working with them this whole time, dunno what's going to happen with Saul

Edit - also I'd forgotten about how Saul failed the lie detector originally in season 1, reckon that might have something to do with what's gonna happen to him

I'm a bit bored of all the family and Dana stuff now though, wouldn't mind them killing her off

Estes was great in his rant at Saul as well

http://media.avclub.com/images/418/418964/16x9/627.jpg?1898

****** you, Saul! ****** you!

[Niamh.]

:amazed: going to watch this tonight

[Shaun]

that. was. AMAZING. :worship:

[Iceman]

That was by far my favourite episode of Homeland so far....it was just perfect

[Locke.]

Just finally got around to watching last weeks episode, was the best one of the season so far easily. Quinn is a great character, he doesn't really seem like he will be around long term though which is a shame.

[King Gizzard]

Saul :worship:

[Locke.]

So one of the main characters

are being killed off

in the finale then.

I bet it's Saul or Quinn :bored:

[King Gizzard]

hopefully

quinn

[Locke.]

Don't say that

Quinn is a great character. Would prefer if it was Carrie tbh, she went from being brilliant in the first season to annoying in the second. Will never happen though, her and Brody are safe.

[King Gizzard]

"In Memoriam" (originally titled "The Mother****er with the Turban"[1])

lol

[Shaun]

The last episode omg :lovedup:

I very much doubt it'll be Brody or Carrie... and I really hope it's not Saul. My head says it's not him because he does the voiceover at the beginning and has done since the beginning, so I dunno.

David would be a nice death, he's pretty much a dick all around. The most obvious one would be Quinn I guess, since he has nothing else to do after the secret assassination plot~

Maybe another curveball's in play and Quinn's the informant.

I'm really confused as to what the story will be for season three though.

[King Gizzard]

thats why this show can't go on forever and is flawed

[Shaun]

wish Dana would die though

[MTVN]

Was great to see Carrie getting destroyed by Roya in the last ep, not really liked her much this season either. I hate how she always just goes against whatever she's told and thinks she knows better than everyone else, most of the time she ends up being a hero because of it but still :idc:

[King Gizzard]

she always gets mad very quickly as well

[Shaun]

tbf she was right in the last episode, and pulled off a major coup, but I agree in the rest of the episodes she's been a whiny unstable bitch who'd be nowhere near the CIA

[MTVN]

She also went and just randomly strolled into Roya's interrogation room and ended up looking like a right dumb bitch though, glad her Brody tactic didn't work again

[Shaun]

Roya :love: such a fierce bitch.

[Niamh.]

I think

Brody is a goner. He has no more purpose now Nazir is dead and he doesn't work for the CIA so..........

[lily.]

Not sure where we need to use spoiler tags in this thread, so I'll just put it all in tags..

I can't help thinking the Brody storyline has now run it's course, so it makes sense if Quinn is sent in to take him out.

But that leaves the question of what to do with the next season. There's a limit to how far you can stretch one story, but they could stretch this show out longer if they move on to other threats linked to the Nazir/Brody situation.

I doubt Carrie will be killed off. Her character is too central. I hope it's not Saul.. I love his character.. he's very intelligent, and seems to be able to see the whole picture well before anyone else does.

But Estes seems determined to get rid of him, so I wonder what lengths he'll go to get what he wants.

I'm glad the season is wrapping up this month though. I couldn't stand to wait til the New Year for the finale.

[Niamh.]

The new episode doesn't air on UK TV till Sunday Linda so we usually just spoiler incase people are watching on that

[lily.]

Right. I watch it online so I'm at USA pace. :)

[Niamh.]

Yeah, me too, I think most of us who watch it on here do now too but there was a few incidents a while back of people giving out because someone had spoiled something :laugh:

[MTVN]

Someone being Niamh :idc:

I don't really mind anymore though because I watch at USA pace too now

[Niamh.]

Yeah alright, alright, sorry :rolleyes:

[King Gizzard]

probably be best to spoiler it until when it's aired here, after that is ridiculous though, it's their fault for not being up to date :idc:

[Locke.]

Nazir getting killed off... I thought that he was going to be the main bad guy throughout the whole run of the show, would have been better that way I think. Even though the episodes have been good I didn't really like that he came to the USA and sacrificed himself.. He didn't really need to did he. Glad they didn't go down the predictable route and have Galvez as the mole though (or at least they haven't yet).

I guess Saul will warn Carrie early on in the finale that Quinn is going to kill Brody, and then the main parts of the episode will be them trying to stop him. Or Saul tells Carrie about David being involved in the drone strike, which could lead to Brody killing him. It was the actor that played David that went public about someone being killed off aswell :suspect: Just hope it's not Quinn or Saul.

[lily.]

Just watched the finale.

Wow.

That's all I'm gonna say.

[Shaun]

just watching it now...

okay something major just happened LOL

:|

[Shaun]

Saul's phonecall to Carrie :bawling:

Elizabeth and Finn seemed unnecessary deaths... not so upset about David, he was pretty exhausted after Quinn refused his mission.

I don't really see this Carrie/Brody on the run thing as something with the longevity for a whole season though... obviously there was someone in the CIA who planted it on Brody's car (or so I assume LOL), but there's surely no one left high enough or featured enough in the first two seasons to be interesting :shrug: Saul would be too obvious, too...

edit: oh Carrie just came back LOL

[Raph]

My friend loves this show so I'm thinking of giving it a go over Christmas break!

[lily.]

Shaun...

I don't think someone in the CIA planted that bomb. I think someone in Nazir's network planted it on orders from Nazir before he sacrificed himself. It reads to me like Nazir died for the bigger cause.. like he wanted to be caught and killed so that the others could complete the mission once the CIA dropped their guard somewhat.

At the end, when Saul was saying the Hebrew prayer, I mistook it for an Islamic one, and thought he was the bad guy.. but once I found out it was a Hebrew one.. that theory went out the window.

I'm glad Carrie came back, but how's she going to get out of this one? Surely someone is going to question her involvement in Brody's escape.. The look on Saul's face at the end was like a mixture of relief that she was alive, and despair about what she's possibly done. He's always been the smartest character on the show, and won't be long in adding it all up. Is he in charge of that division now that Estes is dead?

I'm still on the fence about whether Brody knew about the bomb or not. On one hand, he was conveniently far enough away from the blast zone.. but on the other hand... these things are often suicide missions so had he known about it, wouldn't he have gone down with it... sacrificed himself for the cause?

I don't know who to trust anymore. That's the beauty of this show.

[Shaun]

I read somewhere that

There's a moment as Brody is arriving at the funeral that he hands his car keys to someone else after locking it

What that means... and whether it's a red herring or not... I don't know :laugh:

[King Gizzard]

wish dana had died

[Shaun]

[2].

[lily.]

Must rewatch and see if he does hand his keys over.

[King Gizzard]

i wish saul was my dad.

[King Gizzard]

don't know why i spoilered that

[King Gizzard]

or that

[lily.]

lol

[Iceman]

that was fantastic.....the video coming on gave me goosebumps. I think Brody did it....then walked away scott free by the help of Carrie. I cant wait for S3 now

[lily.]

I have a bad feeling you are right. I just can't bring myself to trust him, nor to trust Carrie's judgement on him because of her feelings. She's a mess around him.

[Iceman]

I know I want him to be good but when he's playing the villain he's so bad that you prefer that side to him

[Niamh.]

Ohhhhhhhhhh that was amazing

I was convinced Brody was a goner cos I couldn't see how he'd have any more purpose in the show but that was ingenious, so glad that estes was the main character to die and not Brody or Saul. I don't think Brody knew anything about it but you never know

[lily.]

They can theoretically drag this out for a good few episodes of the next season before clarifying whether or not he's innocent. I'm looking forward to S3

[Locke.]

Saul is the mole.

1) Done everything he could to make sure Brody wasn't killed by Estes/Quinn... yet still clearly didn't trust Brody at all judging from his conversation with Carrie.. needed him to be alive to plant the bomb in his car and have him blamed
2) Failed the lie detector in Season 1.
3) Was completely out the way for the bombing.
4) Wanted Carrie to go with him to Nazir's funeral, which explains why he would still be upset about her possibly being dead later in the episode
5) Facial expressions were a bit strange at Nazir's funeral
6) Judging by the finale he is a lot more religious than what we already knew

I hope he isn't but literally everything points to him being it.. There really isn't anyone else it could be, the mole storyline has been there since season 1 and they are dragging it out for a reason, and the only other remaining characters from the CIA are Carrie and Galvez, we know it isn't Carrie and Galvez would just be terrible and unbelievably predictable.

Oh, and Mandy Patinkin deserves to win the Best Supporting Actor Golden Globe that he was nominated for for this episode.

[King Gizzard]

How'd brody know where he was going at the end...just seemed to walk off randomly into the forest

Should have made it clearer it was a different day at the end I was like WTF when carrie walked in


Only thing I could say is they might be setting up a new Nazir or something, unless it was Quinn lol
