Given that as the only link to the Most Wanted Man In The World, la famiglia Brody would be under surveillance 24/7, Dana being able to mope around as she wants is a little careless...I'm treating her parts like the adverts now, and speeding past them....
As for the whole pregnancy thing, I really don't know what to think. Brody's or casual ginger guy's? Might explain Carrie's reluctance to take her meds though. Exciting episode though, a nasty new baddie. And presumably his son is going to pop up at some point, hell bent on vengeance... |

I wonder if Saul knows? Did the clinic pass on Carrie's medical reports to the CIA(as Carrie said to her Doc) or did they maintain medical confidentiality. PS All this assumes Carrie is actually pregnant and it's not a drawer full of false positives ![]() Claire Danes was pregnant last year and they had to use a body double in some scenes to hide the bulge.

I think Brody is the dad. Carrie is three months pregnant. She had the one night stand to cover up the fact she is pregnant by the most wanted terrorist in the world. We've seen how Dana was hounded by the press so it makes sense for Carrie to try and cover her tracks.
Also, I know we only got a quick look at the drawer of pregnancy tests, but it looked like they were all positive to me. |

That doesn't really stack up. From the Senate committee hearing, we know that nearly two months passed between the Langley bombing/Brody's escape and the events of the first episode. Carrie's one-night stand takes place way too late in the day for her to pass off her pregnancy as that.

from snippets of dialogue it's plain that wasn't the only one nighter Carrie has enjoyed, merely the only one we've seen

She never put herself through the shock therapy and the hospital being pregnant. This denial indicates something she has just become aware of. It is one of her one night stands I bet. She wouldn't have done what she did otherwise and also pregnancy would have showed up on tests. Maybe she had a one night stand while she was in there.

I may be missing something, but why is it assumed her pregnancy would have shown up on tests? She's bipolar - would a hospital carry out any tests that would show up a pregnancy? From experience, most tests are fairly tightly targeted - for instance, I've had blood tests looking for particular markers that didn't show up the fact that I have abnormally high sugar levels until I was specifically tested for those.
From experience as working in the medical field, we used to always do pregnancy tests on females even if they swore blind they weren't. It's more a case of ticking it off the list to avoid litigation rather than expecting a positive result. But then this is a TV show so I'm sure it will be glossed over .

I am beginning to think that in the gap between season 2 and season 3 that things happened that we aren't aware.off. When did Quinn and Carrie become so tight that he would go to the hospital for her committal meeting? Or look hurt when she kicked him out? How are they suddenly close?I am not sure it makes sense, yet. Also given how strung out Carrie was in episode 1, I have a feeling there were many one night stands in that period. I think there is another big shock with this pregnancy of hers. To be honest though I can't see her having it.... the whole reason its there is I think to align or realign some of the relationships and priorities of those in the show, and maybe even if it isn't Brodie's will somehow tie him in too. I am looking forward to finding out how Brody comes back into this and what the resolution of this series will be. Apparently its another biggie. |

I do think Brody's story is taking a backseat, if not over for good.
I posted this on the other thread It doesn't bode well for him really as a character. I like Damien Lewis so it will be a shame if they're planning to kill him off this year but if they can write so many episodes without him.. I suspect that means his time is almost up on the show. Question is does the show work without him? I think it just about does but it's touch and go for me. Also.. (S3 trailer discussion.. putting it in tags just to be safe)..

Damian Lewis and Claire Danes were interviewed by Charlie Rose on his show a few days ago. It's shown on the Bloomberg news channel, 502 on Sky.
DL doesn't give the plot away obviously, but towards the end of the interview he does indicate as to how much Brody may or may not feature. Damian Lewis http://www.charlierose.com/watch/60300596 Be careful of some slight spoilers though. Claire Danes http://www.charlierose.com/watch/60299707 |

Maybe I'm being picky here but I only have one quibble at the moment.
I've spent time in Eastern Turkey where they are traditional Muslims. Farah is not wearing that headscarf right. No hair at all should be showing. And she's showing quite a bit at the front. Either she's a proper Muslim or she isn't. Wear the headscarf properly or not at all. |

He said someone other than Brody moved the car, someone who was said to have died in the bombing but is actually still alive and in the country. The person who knows the identity is the lawyer who introduced Carrie to Javadi.

Aren't bipolar people known to be promiscuous during manic episodes I.e increasing risk of pregnancy/STDs?

Before giving you any woman drugs that may injure an unborn child they need to ask her if she has any reason to suspect she may be pregnant... Carrie wasn't being exactly cooperative so they may have tested her anyway.

Best episode of the season so far. No B-plots to distract focus, and lots of tense character interaction that moved the plot forward well - Carrie and Javadi, Saul and Javadi, Carrie and Quinn, Saul, Lockhart and Adal.

I'm really finding this season absorbing - now it has got going properly. I don't miss Brody at all. And while I don't mind Dana and her problems, unless there's a bloody good reason for them further on, they are just a distraction from the guts of the story. |

I don't know. Not necessarily - because someone gave the keys to Abu Nazir's "man" - and that could have been the mole...
... or, of course, it could have been Brodie. Or the mole could be the person who moved the car into place. Dunno!
