    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"


    :lol:




    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.

    Poor(est) Saul. Just love him.

    This show is one fun mindfuck of a ride.

    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.

    Yeah, when I saw him in their house, I thought "ohhhh. shit".

    I was thinking about this earlier - wouldn't the head of the CIA have some kind of security in place? A security system? Something?

    Shouldn't Saul's wife be more circumspect about who she lets into their freaking home, let alone has sex with?

    Also, with Carrie being shot, I think either the trauma will affect the baby, or it'll come out that she's pregnant.

    my oh shit moment was when they were in the café and she was breaking it off with him.

    yes to all of your suspicions.

    maybe saul is actually spy and this dude is spying on him for the cia? they never tied up that "who's the mole" loose end from season 1..... :o:lol:

    Nooo, not Saul "the Bear" Berenson!

    He continues to surprise and endear himself to me.

    And yes, I think this dude (what the hell is his name?) is a spy. But a spy for whom.....? :think:

    And this other CIA chick with the father! She's gonna lose it soon, mark my words.

    About fucking time, Brody!

    Watching last night, had a pretty sweet buzz on. As in, becoming-part-of-the-couch buzz.

    When the screen went to "sixteen days later" and them all jogging like fit and focused motherfuckers?

    This chick sat up straight and smiled.

    Only thing that seemed contrived was (yet again!) the Dana scene. "Why don't you write it down for me"?

    Please.

    I get how seeing her was part of Brody's impetus, but the writing in that scene blew.

    I'm starting to lose patience with this show now. We were really excited when this season started but now it's just like "Oh, Homeland is on. May as well watch it".

    You can guarantee that if somebody tells Carrie not to do something, especially if it's a direct order, there'll be a couple of big sighs, some crazy eyes, then she'll go right ahead and do it anyway. It happens every few episodes and it's getting too predictable now. Also, what's with her smoking while pregnant?!?

    The best part of last night's show was singing the "We need a montage!" song from Team America during the training scenes :)

    Crazy eyes :mrgreen:

    And yes! I wondered about her smoking too (and how she didn't inquire about the well-being of her/Brody's? baby in the hospital).

    I dunno know about your assertion though. While NOTHING compares to the first season - hell, even the first episode - the last few have gone and redeemed my lovelust for this show.
