Farah's father then guessed where she worked, and suggested she had started there after the Langley bombing (just three or four months earlier) and that the CIA would be mad when they knew about her family background with relatives in Iran.

I took it her father was saying the Iranian authorities would be angry at Farah if they found out she was working for the CIA and punish her family in Iran, not that the CIA didn't know about her background.

So, finally, they've gotten round to proving there is a point to Mrs Saul.....maybe by the time S6 rolls around, Chris Brody will have some dialogue....
Saul has been keeping Brody on ice....and now that he's made sure the corroboration of Brody's innocence is no more, he can parade the Langley bomber....securing his 'legend' and also helping out Javadi in Iran. He has never had any interest in 'clearing' Brody, he needs him guilty. At this point, Javadi is a more sympathetic character. Saul has no compunction about what or who he uses to achieve his mission, which side he is on is moot.....he's purely working for Team Saul, something Javadi has tried to warn Carrie about. It wouldn't surprise me to learn, "the person who brought us together" Javadi spoke of, is Saul, not the lawyer bloke. |

There is no way Saul or his house/family would be without a security detail but I guess you have to suspend disbelief in this show.
Also, I am a bit peed off with The Radio Times write up: .... there's a certain something in the air between her (Carrie) and black ops guy Quinn ... what, apart from the fact he shot her? Also ....the Brody family get some startling news ....... surely thats next week? Or maybe not. |

Best episode of this season so far?
Lots happening in all the major storylines, and interesting to confirm that it's Saul - and not Carrie - who saw Brody to Caracas. But will he be used as some kind of sacrificial lamb now to aid Javadi up the Iranian hierarchy? A little late with my review this week, but here it is anyway: http://slouchingtowardstv.com/2013/1...d-wheelbarrow/ |

If that was real life, I doubt someone in Saul's position wold go in person to a country that has hostile relations with their own country.

Brodie isn't in Iran, I think he's in Caracus, Venezuela according to my hubby?
)Perhaps I've been sleepwalking through this series, but I didn't find it particularly jaw-dropping that Saul turned up there, as others seem to have done. |

Oh bugger. Saul's found Brody. Walk away, Saul, walk away... the show's doing nicely without you, Brody, and only Carrie is missing you anyway.
I assume that Brody's been given up by his Venezuelan chums for the reward. I love Carrie and it's a strength of the writing that I'm entirely in accord with the decision to shoot her!

If they ever make a film about Harold Shipman then look no further than Saul. He is a twin

Yes he's in Venezuela and the Americans do not like Venezuela as they have had an out and out socialist Government for a long time and the Americans have a history of not liking socialism in general. I take it you never heard of Venezuela's previous president Hugu Chavez? If you look him up on wiki, I'm sure you will see why I wrote what I did. |

Sorry if I seem a bit thick, but did we know the bomber who got shot, from previous episodes/series or is he a stranger to us?

No America/Venezuela relations is not one of my specialist subjects

I don't remember seeing him previously . Was he the one who made Brody's suicide vest ? I don't think so but stand to be corrected.

I'm still figuring out why he had to have acid poured over him. Was that because he would have been regognised by someone ? .

How did Saul know where to find Brody? Did Carrie tell him?

This season is terrible.
What was in season one a brilliant, tense programme based on a simple premise with - once that is accepted - fairly realistic plots, has become utterly bizarre and ridiculous. The director of the CIA goes totally on his own in a secret and unofficial mission to Venezuela, a hostile country with no diplomatic relations, carrying a bag containing $10 million in cash, and meets a gang of ruthless criminals. What sort of programme is this? It is so far fetched that it must be set in a different universe. I am still watching, but now because I want to see how bad it can get. |

I'm enjoying this season after the shambles that was season 2. |

I didn't recognise him either. I think we haven't seen him before.
No - the one who made Brody's vest ("the tailor") was killed by Brody in series 2. He killed him in the woods, while trying to move him to a safe house. I'm thinking that the sleeping girl who we see at intervals, is dreaming all Homeland ! That's how far fetched it is but it's no worse than Lost
