Just watched the finale.

I really don't think Brody was involved in bombing for a couple of reasons...

While it was convienent that he left the ceremony prior to the explosion, it also appears that Carrie was the one who wanted to talk to him. She was also the one who lead him away from the explosion to tell him the news.
It also seemed like Brody was close to asking his daughter if she wanted to go with him...before she got all bitchy.

He was clearly set up in my opinion. Where was Quinn this whole time? He disappeared right after he confronted Estes and threatening him...while maybe not directly involved, I think perhaps he may know of the plan.

Also, who had access to Brody's confession video? It seemed to me that only the CIA had this video and only a handful of people knew about it including Estes, Saul, Quinn, Carrie and a couple of others. For the media to have it and to broadcast it an hour or so after the explosion and prior to concrete evidence that Brody's car was involved seems like it was leaked from someone on the inside.

I really don't know. I'm still in the "Saul is a spy" camp.

i had this thought too. but id be majorly pissed if it turned out to be true.


as for the convenience of brody and carrie being out of the room when the bomb detonated.... they are the 2 lead characters. its the dynamic between them upon which the show turns.. so to have one or both of them die would cause the show to wobble majorly... is brody involved in the explosion? perhaps. tho he was telling the truth when he said he didnt park his car 'there'.

p.s. where was the president? was he not at the VPs memorial? if not, why not?

I heard today that it would be back in the spring instead of next fall.......

Any truth to that?

I read it on the internet so it has to be true right??

I doubt it. The first 2 seasons both started around September/October. They'd have to start filming soon if it were to be spring. Pretty sure Claire Danes is pregnant right now too.

not anymnore. danes had her baby.

IQuinn's scene with Estes was priceless and I'm sure won Rupert Friend more than a few new fans.

i think it's one of the best scense of the entire series so far. i love the way they shot it too with the wide angle and quin's sort of in the shadows. not zooming in for a close up enhanced the creepiness.

quinn's character is a lot more interesting to me after watching the finale.

could quinn also be a secret muslim? could that be why he spared brody?

well he was a nano second away from killing brody a couple episodes ago before estes called it off...

Fantastic series, really didn't expect the last episode to end up like that. A show that keeps on giving, really good tv. Can't wait for season 3

My first reaction was that Saul leaked it to sort of put a bow on this whole mess publicly. Nazir is dead, and they can blame Brody as he was presumed dead at the time too.

But thinking about who had access to the video, remember the SD card ended up in Hezbollah hands in Beruit. On the news video, they also showed a group claiming responsibility for it. Maybe it was leak by whomever carried out the attack.

why does he refer to himself by his last name? He originally notifies his wife he's alive and says "its brody". In the next few minutes she tells mike, "that was brody, he's alive". And several times the wife calls him "brody" to his face.

Why do they always refer to him by his last name?

Why dont they call him Nick?

It's gonna be a long wait. We just finished watching both seasons in under 2 weeks. What a great show!

it is a good show, but im seeing several examples of what i disliked about zero dark thirty. Which is legitimization of torture. They used sleep deprivation and loud music on that guy who Seargent Brody identified and the guy broke and told information. Which was hilarious since Brody had said "so do they torture him now?" And carrie says "we dont torture here, its not allowed".

Additionally, the show seems to largely be about this us versus them thing. We have these scary terrorists hiding amongst us who want to murder us.

The terror tactics of our own government are discussed, the 85 children dead in the bombing that the Vice President lied about and denied. But its then used to further a plot point that Brody is going to kill the Vice President because of it. Thus its delegitimized. any power the point had-that the government is lying about the war and that it kills innocent people, that means nothing since the bigger plot point is stopping this shadowy figure Nazir and this person who has been turned. The government lying is bad, and bombing of innocents is wrong, but the point focused on is this crazed person who may blow up the vice president.

That said, im very impressed with Claire Danes. its so odd to see her grown up since I remember her as this teen in My So Called Life. Several of her scenes when she's passionately arguing with people, are stunning and impressive.

I've just started watching this, renting from Netflix. I've been attached since the very first show. And there's only two seasons? I'm going to be through it all in no time. :(

the worst part about watching a show like that is you go through it so quickly, that waiting for the next new season is TORTURE!

...then the whole waiting a week for the next episode feels like forever too.
