I knew this was on but for some strange reason failed to record it/them. The dilemma for me now is to wait until it is repeated from the start, or find a way to view the episodes I missed!
Only 3 eps missed - I recommend giving 4OD a go if you can...

From what I've read there's anything from 1.5M-3.5M people of Arab/middle eastern descent currently living in the US, mostly concentrated in major cities and, therefore, also close enough to most airports.
Sorry if this sounds too much like some second-rate US sitcom stereotype but... you'll probably meet them at the airport if you fly to the US. They'll be the ones driving the cabs.

Another plot 'difficulty' for me. A Middle Eastern looking man buys a house for cash next to an airport? This would ring alarm bells with even the most naive real estate person as Americans are paranoid since 9/11
I'm sorry, have we met? Of course not. For the record, I'm not paranoid.

Good programme but is this series going to suffer the same fate as most other successful U.S. dramas and be dragged out for so long that everyone's interest will go?

Sadly I think this is exactly what'll happen.

If that is someone's genuine belief* - that anyone with dark hair and an olive skin must be a terrorist - I really think they need to switch the telly off, log out of DS and go and enjoy real life more.

And maybe go for a walk round some of the civilised and happy British communities that sit adjacent to Heathrow and under the flightpaths.


* as opposed to a "light blue touchpaper..." post

Speaking of naive... so is this post!

If someone has posted about the final then that would be a spoiler(didn't read it so don't know exactly). If it was a spoiler and someone reported it to the mods, then the post itself would be removed. And all posts that referred to it. That cleans up the thread- it is clearly marked no spoilers!!!

If someone posts a spoiler, the best thing to do is report it to the mods straight away. Don't quote it or get into a debate about it. That way it is removed before anyone else sees it.

2. One of the prince minions is behind the funding of the terrorism. He persuades the prince to buy an expensive necklace and give it to the girl. Then sets up the girl for a robbery.

From what I've seen so far I go with option 2. I think the prince could have found an easier way to get the money to the terrorists. The minion won't have ready access to the prince's funds and needs such a scheme to do so.
agreed

Glad whatever was said was removed before I read it. Well done to whoever reported it to the mods

Somebody has started a new thread. Nothing wrong with that. The OP is perfectly entitled to do this. But be careful. It is called Homeland on Ch4 (US Pace) - Spoilers. I haven't checked it out. But if you don't want spoiling make sure you come to the right thread.

I started that thread as I received a message from the MODS as I made the slightest comment regarding the last episode.

I apologise.

No probs rottweiller.

But I have gone into wrong pace threads before, thinking they were no spoilers. So best to be aware of things like this. I wasn't having a go by the way. You are perfectly entitled to start a thread with a different ''pace'' to it.

Regards

BK

I'm avoiding that thread. I even switched over Graham Norton last night (not an uncommon occurrence ) when they started to show a clip from a future ep . Paranoid of spoilers ruining this for me.

No problem as thankfully I didn't see it.

Being spoiled by Graham Norton is never likely to happen to me

There are two Fringe threads going. One UK pace and one US pace. I have to be careful to go into the right one. It's so easy to click the wrong one.

Saw a clip of Claire Danes on The Colbert Report they picked a clip that was spoiler free, and Claire Danes slipped a spoiler into the interview, rather annoyed

Claire Danes is a good actress to pick to play bipolar I think because she's got "crazy eyes".

I was more concerned that Damien Lewis was going to reveal something. The clip shown wasn't really a spoiler ...in other words, I'm none the wiser.

I remember watching a review programme, once, where one of the critics mistakenly gave away the entire ending of a film. lol, so I don't blame you being cautious.

I made the mistake once of posting something in the Lost UK pace thread, instead of the US pace thread. I hadn't realised until somebody made a comment.
At the time I didn't know how to use the spoiler thing, so I had to contact the Mods and they quickly did it for me. I felt terrible, but I was told that hadn't been a drastic spoiler.
