anyone think quin is shady? carrie has her doubts about him. then in this week's episode, he sets up the searching of the tailor's store without anyone watching the front of the building...is the one who calls for backup...and then is the only person to not get killed during the skirmish? i know he got shot, but maybe that was done to make it not look so obvious?

or maybe he is too obvious to be the mole? i don't know. so many directions they can go. i love that i cannot figure it out.

also...i love all of the different story lines, including dana and fin. i think the actress who plays dana is phenomenal. one of the better child actors i can remember from a tv series. it looks like jess goes to finn's mom (the vp's wife) to discuss this with her--somehow i can see this leading this her to mention something about brody working for the cia. she already let it slip to mike. she might think the vp knows about it already or something.

any of this make sense?

It is great to watch a show that you can't figure out. Not sure about Quin. Those terrorists came in there gunz blazin' so it would have been pretty hard for them not to have purposely shot him without killing him. it looked like he was just playing dead there.

Not crazy about the Finn/Dana story line, but it should get interesting once the VP and his wife get involved. Completely agree about the actress who plays Dana.....she is great.

I'll watch it tonight...
WHY is Carrie still attracted by Brody, after all she went through & all the things she knows about him?? Why did she cry on his shoulder last week, making herself so vulnerable again? He was (probably still IS...) the most dangerous person they've been try to catch for ages in US, I would expect a whole bunch of agents knocking at his office door after the massacre in the tailor's shop, instead of one single person – CARRIE – who always seems to be absolutely isolated in everything she does... uuuffff... :?:

well as much as they would like to do that stuff, they have to be delicate with the situation since they know an attack is imminent and any change in brody's demeanor could trigger to that muslim chick that they got to him, and all the progress they made would be lost.

kinda slow episode last night. i liked how they tied in dana and finn's hit and run with everything else.

I kinda figured last night's episode would be a little slow after all the action last week. Shocked to see Saul get worked like that. That was nice how they tied in the whole Finn/Dana thing....I was hoping it would work out like that.

Am I the only one who wanted to see Carrie get it in the woods?

by far the best show at the moment on tv

OK...thanks to word of mouth and then Time Warner giving us six months of free Showtime, I've inhaled the first season and made it to being current, all within the last month.

I LOVE THIS SHOW.

So beautifully executed, from the writing, to acting, directing...

I feel like an addict and am kind of pissed off that I'm all caught up now.

(not enough, I need more! - to quote my beloved Stinkfist)

Anyway, in the very first episode, when the CIA's watching the initial footage of shattered, long-haired Brody in the hole...he says "I'm an American".

I've been waiting for them to go back and show how that moment came to be, considering how he lived a "civilized" life with Abu Nazir et al prior to being rescued, and coming back to the US.

when they first made them get together in the first season i thought it might ruin the show.. they made it work in the end but it's still a little awkward for me when Carrie tells Brody she loves him or when they kissed this episode.. it just seems a little unreal to me that she would be in to him as a CIA agent, especially after knowing she was right about him and what he was going to do..

Ummm, obviously it has been shown that Carrie isn't exactly mentally stable.

and its not only her instability.. she loves him. we cant help who we fall in love with. and so consequently its not easy to get over them... no matter how much we should for our own health.

Don't know, I definitively agree, when you're in love your feelings are so overwhelming that it becomes quite hard to control yourself, & yes she is mentally unstable, BUT she is also a top CIA agent & she's back on her medications... I don't know, I have the feeling she is going to run into even bigger trouble than in the first season... we'll see! Enjoy the episode tonight!
