I like crazy Carrie. It's worth it just to watch her eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets.Just a tad too much Dana teen angst at the moment.but the yanks probably love all that.

I agree that he's very watchable and the actor plays the part extremely well, however I have a problem with the way the writers seem to have decided to turn him into some sort of cartoon James Bond with a conscience, it doesn't feel at all real.

Even then she was wrong about Brody in some respects. He did more than he let on eg killing of VP.

Did I miss anything in the last minute or so?
Our Virgin Box has got this annoying habit of thinking programmes have ended when there is still a minute or two to run. Saul visits Carrie in hospital and....... Anyone?? |

Seriously I sincerely hope that's it for the Dana sub plot now. Why can't they just leave her in the background like the son!

It just feels like a tick box exercise which is normally the sign a show has gone well past it's sell by date. They are repeating all the familiar themes. The only good character left is Peter Quinn who I think they should borrow to 24 to fight along side Jack Bauer. That would be awesome. |

The brother just seems the most pointless character there now, he just stands around looking confused for the time that he is on screen.

Remind me again what is the point of the brother here? At least the sister had her cut wrists and teen romance bit to stay kind of relevant, but the brother??

Here are my thoughts
The boy Dana met in therapy is a plant to find out if Brody is in touch with Dana. Saul has toughened up even during this episode, he is now in charge, he did not get the reconciliation with his wife he thought was going to happen and it was after that he gave the order to carry out the assassinations, signalling a new ruthlessness. Saul really had no choice but to confirm Carrie was sleeping with Brodie as in series 2 they got her to cosy up to Brody and they had them under surveillance and the whole team including Quinn heard them shagging. Who is left who could have moved the car? How much tequila can Carrie drink? I hope Saul's wife goes back to India and leaves him in peace instead of stringing him along, in fact I hope he kicks her out. |

I am enjoying it - but so sick of Dana and looking forward to the real Brody returning...

That is an interesting point - it hadn't crossed my mind, but now you mention it..... The only thing is though, the 'boy' would have to be a guy of about 25 who looks young, as a child wouldn't be used for these purposes; also I sincerely hope he used a condom......

Funny you should mention that, I've got Virgin and Sky at the moment but was surprised to switch from Tivo to Sky to notice that Virgin C4 seemed to be at least a minute ahead, I assumed I had Sky on delay but no, never seen that before.
Most of the time there's not an issue but we series record Whitechapel and it used to do it at the end of every episode. Only on HD at the minute as we keep looking at Tivo but never getting round to it. Good to know I didn't miss anything!

So far I've enjoyed the latest episodes but it's hard going with Carrie getting crazier and crazier though. I think she does it well and certainly looks panic stricken most of the time as I'm sure she would be feeling a real sense of paranoia by now - and quite understandably so.

I pray the CIA are better organised than what they are being portrayed.
They can carry out covert operations around the world, have specialists who can trace money transfers between numerous overseas financial institutions but at the same time appear to be lacking CCTV around their own HQ car park where anyone is able to move a car to any random spot around the building. |

You'd have thought they'd have an off site server for saving the video footage. |

I find it very hard to believe that neither the media nor the CIA have figured out his involvement in the VP's death. Surely as soon as Brody was identified as the chief suspect in the bombing, they would have been looking at everything in his past and it wouldn't take long to realise that he was present when the VP died and unlikely to be a coincidence. If they have figured it out, it hasn't been mentioned that they have.

But it was made to look like he died from a heart attack - ie natural causes. That was the whole point. He was known to have a heart problem having a pacemaker fitted. So why would the CIA suspect Brody of being implicated as he got in and out of the Senator's office without being spotted? There was no reason to even suspect foul play.
