He's basically sacrificing himself for someone else's son. I just keep wondering about his family, especially his daughter. He must love them, or has this all been an act; does he feel that disconnected to them, that he readily agreed to do this? Is it because he's been turned or is it because he's been so disaffected and disillusioned by the war and his eight years worth of experience as a part of it, that this is the only reaction that he has to have to rationalise what's happened to him.
As you can see, I'm just really confused as to why Brody has decided to do this!”

All what you said above is true. But I think the blatant lies told on TV by the vice president (that the images of dead children were a terrorist propaganda) turned him. Besides, Isa was an incredibly lovable child.




but I'm hopeful we won't be left totally stranded at the end....to be continued.
