he's been away for a while...


that's what I thought. Did Quinn just have a change of heart or was he just making sure nothing would happen to Brody on behalf of someone else?
He would have seen something when actually driving the car. It was hardly a small amount just stuffed in the glove compartment or spare tyre. If it wasn't Brody who parked it there, then who did?

Quinn almost did it, therefore it is unlikely his not doing it was because of the orders of somebody else at that time. Quinn wouldn't have bothered following him just not to do anything.

Wow. That was a really good ending I thought.

We always thought it wasn't over though didn't we - that smile on Abu Nazir's face was too smug when he was waiting to be shot.

I'm wondering who moved the car? Who had free access to Langley and didn't arouse any suspicions moving the car?

Does anybody else think Damian Lewis has a look of Steve McQueen?? Especially round the mouth..
No. not in a million years is there the slightest resemblance ...and what are you doing thinking about Steve McQueen at a time like this ?

Cheeky twist when Saul was speaking. I'm sure many thought he was speaking Arabic at the end which meant he may of been the mole but we can relax, he was speaking Hebrew.

WOW!

When is Season 3 starting again

I knew there had to be a major twist for season 3 but didn't expact that!

Brody is screwed though whatever happens. Now the tape has been released by Nazir accomplices even if he is proven innocent for the CIA bomb, the fact remains he was at one point a willing terrorist and in the US where patriotism is almost a religion that's unforgivable

The only thing that AN being shot achieved was that it gave Saul an excuse to be elsewhere.

I knew it was Hebrew, not that I speak it.

it has been noticed somewhere else that Brody appears to hand his keys to the Officer as they shakes hands. I personally think that from the moment Brody parks to when he sits down there are just small continuity issues (watched a few times - I'm sad like that ) No idea how the car was moved - it just looked a bit silly no one but Brody noticed....

Even with the blast there would be CCT in the car park and I hope that's the first thing we will see in S3 (Doubt it though)

I hope you are right on Quinn even if that was a bit forced for an extremely reliable soldier he was.

Apart from character development (and it was a good scene) there was no reason for narrative sake to even have it there. Kill Brody, no wait I aint doing that. To hell... it doesnt mattere Estes's dead

Carrie must feel like sh*t the amount of times she's been hurt lately.
I think she must be the Bionic Woman.

It was almost boring even, I knew something exciting had to happen - but I wasn't expecting that.

there's not many people left which can be the mole! with Estes dead that's only leaves Carrie, Saul and gutez? from the first season, (along with the keystroke cops brothers,and they aren't even part of the cia).

Saul not being there is convenient but then that was only a matter of lucky timing than anything else... but brodies car must have been moved by someone.

I really enjoyed this episode.

I had some doubts about some of the plot points in recent weeks, however, it was all planned Abu Nazir to lead to this episode.

Well done writers, none of us saw that coming.

Season 3 will be very interesting.

I suspect it won't be at all like the first two seasons, now that the American public views Brody as a latter day Benedict Arnold.

Well my take on it is that not all members of Nazir's cell had been captured/killed, & they acted on Nazir's instructions to 'kill two birds with one stone' by committing a terrorist attrocity & at the same time setting up Brody as revenge for his being, in their eyes, a traitor.
