however....is it brody's baby? gotta be right? god i hope i was dreaming that scene. introducing a baby to this show has disaster written all over it.
Yep, I can't really see how that storyline is going to be a success.
Also, the Brody family story was woeful this week. One minute Dana is running away from home with someone her mother didn't really know and everyone is freaking out. Then she's back home for about 6 seconds before leaving home... to live with someone her mother doesn't know. Apparently it's ok this time though (even if Chris still couldn't find anything to say)
I actually felt deflated when they cut back to the Dana drama. Anti-climactic.
Other than that though, really good episode (still miss Brody). Lots of "oh shit!" moments for me.
And I think Chris' role now is to just linger in the background and look dopey.

over under on how many lines chris will have all season? so far, i think he has muttered 2 or 3 sentences. this week's episode was funny. you just see him slowly appear from behind a wall as dana was walking back to her room. this kid must be the worst actor in the world for them to make him that insignificant.
i'm saying about 5 lines more for the next 7 episodes. what say you?

They must pay the actor who plays Chris by the word. He is averaging about 4 words per episode.

saul is the fucking man. this week's episode epitomizes everything that makes this show great.
i loved the ending too. one of the happy endings they've had. kind of reminded of a sopranos ending with a little van morrison playing...

Yes, Juggler! Just wrapped it up here, and love how the two gloriously-grand schnozzes came together.
Goddamn, this was some good watching.
(and no Dana drama)
Quinn's change of...heart, mind?...made me sad though. I get it, but I really have come to dig his character. Hope he's gonna stick around some.

(and speaking of the Sops, one of my favorites is on. Laurel Bacall getting clocked! Lil Carmine telling her "enjoy your success". And - still not over - but I think this is the one that ends with Artie cooking the rabbit one-armed. Fucking LOVE this show)

Saul was kicking ass this week! I kinda wanted to see him punch the Senator but locking him in the boardroom was a much better FU
No Dana/family, no Brody, not too much Crazy Carrie - this was great Homeland with Saul at the heart of it
Saul had a better day this week! I have to give the writers a lot of credit this year. Instead of going with another big threat/pending attack and plots on the Brody/Carrie relationship, they really shook things up. This season feels fresh to me. It's a lot slower than last year's season (which reminded me somewhat of 24), but the writing and acting continue to be top notch.

Carrie being pregnant is stupid. Other than that, a solid episode this week
I thought that maybe she isn't, that for some reason shes stopped menstruating and she just thinks shes pregnant and that's why she keeps taking the test with the same result as part of some kinda break in reality. but then again maybe she is and she keeps taking the test hoping its wrong a bazillion times. if she is im sure shell lose it in some sort of overdramatic way... no doubt the same time brody is cleared of all suspicions/charges. whatever happens I highly doubt they'll give carrie matheson a child to care for when she can barely take care of herself.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand

i just need to say
I particularly enjoyed Saul and Dar locking the Senator in the conference room and showering/shirtless Quinn.
And the actor playing Javadi is fantastic! He obviously has respect for Carrie, since he thought turning her was worth risking everything to come to the US. But he is trying to manipulate her to the end, with his talk of Brody.
Yes, Juggler! Just wrapped it up here, and love how the two gloriously-grand schnozzes came together.

Felt bad for him. He is in emotional turmoil (clearly new ground for him) and tries to talk to Carrie about it, and all Carrie can say is "Brody, Brody, Brody"

Yeah, this whole pregnancy thing is dumb. If Carrie has Brody's baby, I might be done with this show.

I think he had 1 line this week...
i guess i am the only one playing this game ....but chris had 0 scenes and 0 lines this week. 5 more episodes to go, chris has had 1 line thus far.

Yes we will be there. How about you? Can't wait! Hope I don't end up having to work tomorrow. It will be difficult to concentrate!
Yes! Doing Dallas and OKC. I'm taking tomorrow off so it will be a PJ day.
Great weekend ahead of me!

i liked the episode...wondering carrie get shot,may has pro with the baby..and lets bring brodie back..
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
This whole pregnancy angle is awful. And Carrie about to jeopardize that entire operation just to prove that Brody wasn't the bomber???? So dumb…I'm glad Quinn shot her.

as soon as that happened this was my text to a friend:
"hopefully the baby dies"
his response:
"bet you never thought you'd be texting that"
but in defense of carrie---the bomber is the father of her child. so you can understand that causing her to act irrationally, i guess.

I said the same exact thing to my wife. She looked at me like I was insane.
I guess it shouldn't be surprising that Carrie did that with all of the other crazy bullshit she has pulled with Brody.
Got up to speed on this show last night. Kind of pissed I have to watch it week to week now. I don't hate this season as much as most of you guys, probably too much Dana, but feel like they have to show what is happening with the family given the situation. The creep boyfriend was probably unnecessary though.
Saul is the man.

what she saw was the body of dead supposed bomber. of course shed want that guy alive.. death covers up too much shit. can you imagine if they trotted that guy out as the bomber? the conspiracy theorists would climb all over it... oh sure the guy cant speak for himself or defend himself cause hes (conveniently) dead. so yeah no surprise carrie wanted him alive... also if he admitted to be the langley bomber itd put any misgivings she had about brody being the bomber o rest.. cause im sure theres a tiny part of her that suspects him. oh and damn... the pregnancy is real.

I love how some moments can get my adrenalin UP. It was, thankfully and finally, a good rush of an episode...stupid pregnancy plot aside. She drank, took lithium...suuure the baby is OK.
Still...
Poor Quinn.
Poor(er) Brody.
And the out-of-left-field thing with Mira's dude. Is she or they gonna get blown up? I thought that was coming.
More Saul.
I would be happy if carrie and brody died and the show focused on Saul. I like Quinn a lot too although i think he is going to die this season.

It is weird how little they use him. Mrs. Brody is the only member of the Brody I'm interested in seeing anymore.
