It's repeated the following Monday. ie Yesterday. So you are out of luck I'm afraid.

It's available on 4OD for another 27 days. If you change your mind

I think it's repeated on a Monday - so you've already missed it.

Have you tried connecting your laptop to your TV and watching online that way?

I do that - I hate watching on my laptop too.

I think that Brody has been turned by the terrorists but doesn't fully know it. ie he thinks that he partly capitulated but mostly resisted and is now free of them, but actually they could make him do their bidding when required.

Also, I don't think it is as simple as Nazir and the terrorists turning him to use in a plot against the US. The plan is probably being run by people inside the CIA and elsewhere. I reckon that Saul and Virgil are involved and they are manipulating Carrie because her investigations into Nazir and Brody are somehow necessary to work their plan.

Are Brody's flashbacks real or imagined? Do they represent what actually happened? Or are they in part a manifestation of the inner guilt he feels from surviving whilst his fellow prisoner died?

I'm hoping they're real - otherwise it'll really do my head in

Brody's flashbacks are the only clue we have to what happened to him. If he is imagining things, then all we know about his time in captivity goes out the window!!!!

Very interesting theories...

One thing is for certain. Nothing is as simple as it seems - and that includes the flashbacks/hallucination/dreams.

Oh, can't believe I missed it last night as well..

I didn't realise I could do that. Husband tells me I need a certain lead to connect it...

Thanks for advice.

HDMI cable.

Not all laptops have an HDMI out though. My daughter uses D-Sub(VGA)cable to use her TV as a monitor.

Hmmm, well that's given me some food for thought. I'm not sure it'll do me any good going down that path though - I'll just have to see how it pans out.

Off to pick Miss D up from work - see you some other time you head messers.

Drive carefully. Give my regards to the future Mrs D

I like that phrase, will do BK. Goodnight

Given that this is a 10 or 12 episode series, there has to be enough ambiguity for us to be constantly wondering whether Brody is a mole, otherwise I'll not sure how they will sustain it.
To take the flashback where he punches his fellow captive. Did he actually do it, or did he refuse to do something or tell something to the captors and as a result, his mate was beaten up? So he feels responsible: it is as if he did actually did throw the punch, so he imagines he did.
After all if 8 years in captivity doesn't [censored] mess with your head, I'd be surprised.

Don't forget Carrie's paranoid delusions - only believe them if someone else can verfiy them

I thought he killed his mate, and had to bury him. They showed that, didn't they?

re 8 years. Terry Waite, John McCarthy. Brits are obviously sterner stuff.

Yeah, but on arrival, they got time away from the real world (at RAF Lyneham) and bucketloads of support from counselling etc. Which is one of the plot holes in this show for me - "war hero" returns and within a day or two is back with his family without any provision to keep reporters off his street / away from his neighbourhood. I just don't see it. His wife didn't even seem to have time off work. (And yes, I know they're in financial difficulties but even so... )

But it is making good telly.

why ARE they in financial difficulties?

She is working. Did they stop paying him? presumably he gets loads of back pay now?

As for plot-holes - no way they just release him without keeping tabs on him, either.

Hey BK! Hi.


We're given just enough information to keep us pondering...lol

Don't soldiers go through special exercises just in case they're caught - like how to deal with torture, endurance, etc?
At the moment we don't know how well he managed, whether he's a survivor or not. Exciting stuff.

Are you enjoying this series?





That's often the case in American series or films....and you hardly ever see the hero/protagonist living in a dilapidated shack of a house, in a down trodden part of town.
Why's that?

Sounds about right, Denley. That's roughly how I see it.

As for Jess talking and getting along with Brody, wouldn't she have been advised on how to deal with a returning POW? Perhaps she was but we weren't shown it.

I've got a feeling that sooner or later, she's going to return to Uncle Mike.



Yeah, It looks like he won special privileges for doing something. Praying?

It was when Brody was washing his hands that triggered off that flashback. I'm not familiar with Islamic rules about praying, but maybe they have to be clean before praying or something? That's two rituals so far... what next?

I wonder if he had a beard , but only we saw him as clean shaven in the reflection. How long does it take to grow a beard that length?

I'm not sure about the intel bit.

This is getting as bad as trying to analyse Lost.

I think they're real, tealady.

That crossed my mind, too!

That's exactly the feeling I got when we saw the couple at the end of the episode. They're going to make contact with Brody and involve him in something and he'll find it difficult to refuse.....I'm probably wrong.

What about Mike - could he be involved?

Hiya RP
You've been busy on here.

Loving this so far. Been waiting ages for Ch4 to air it. Well worth the wait.

Too early to say if Brody is a willing convert to the cause. Or has been brainwashed, and is acting against his will so to speak(not sure that is even possible). Marine snipers are something of an elite. But they are only human after all. But to turn someone against their own country. That's a different matter. You can force someone to do something against their will- threats to family if the person doesn't comply etc. But Brody is home now. What I'm trying to get at- I don't know what is happening yet. A week between eps is a long time.
