It appears so to stop him topping himself.

Saul could have increased his chances of evading re-capture if he'd tried to disguise himself (with the help of the grocer). |

I thought Saul draping a brown blanket round his shoulders was a genius disguise, as was walking down the street with his phone talking loudly in an American accent.
I doubt the Taliban would have spotted him without Kerry's intervention. |

IMO this was the best episode of Homeland since the one where Brody was in the toilet cubicle trying to get his broken suicide vest to work & Dana phoned him up & intervened & he 'saw the light'.
I know it's tough to commit suicide (and I actually do mean that.....), but Saul really should have pulled that trigger - just think how that would have pissed off the terrorists, losing their bargaining chip like that, he would've been a hero albeit a dead one; now he's going to go through hell as both revenge for him killing one of them & to make sure he doesn't escape again. Does anyone know what height these drones operate at? Are they higher or lower than commercial aircraft (ie higher or lower than 35 000 feet)? |

Thank god there is no Dana.Second para: losing Saul would have been catastrophic for the series. Third para: between 5 and 20 thousand feet. As they are much much smaller than commercial airliners they are difficult to see by naked eyes. Also covered in anti reflective paint so no glistening in the sun. |

He would have killed himself otherwise, so Carrie chose the lesser of two evils. |

What is it about Carrie? I'm not a man - perhaps someone male could tell me.
This is just one man's opinion, Claire Danes is not beautiful, but she is exceptionally sexually attractive. I can't help myself, my French blood makes me hard wired to see ALL women as attractive, some more so than others. |

Can't say I see it. And her manner should have any man running for the hills after only a few minutes trying to talk to her.

I thought Carrie might have lead Saul into the Taliban so she could nuke the site from orbit* (it's the only way to be sure). * Or at least a missile strike. |

I thought the drone's location gave away Saul's position. So, are we to assume that the Pakisani authorites tipped off the Taliban as to where the drone was watching?

Pakistan has been a hotbed of terrorism for the past 20 years. In fact the road to almost all of the terrorist atrocities in the Uk leads to Pakistan. |

wouldn't it have been better for him if he'd just hidden somewhere ?, I mean anything would've been better than wandering the streets talking on his phone .

Interesting that they mentioned James Foley who was killed in August. Either they must film the episodes quite close to transmission or they edited in the reference to James Foley at a later time.
. ![]() I guess the producers could do a quick edit to a scene like that fairly easily thus making it far more relevant to real life happenings at the moment. |

Best episode yet of this new series, which seems to have had a new lease of life now Brody is gone for good, hallucinations not withstanding, and it looks like that Pakistani security official is going to be the next notch on Carrie's bedpost!
![]() One thing though, Saul made it 20 miles to the town after escaping, without detection, so wouldn't it have been better for him to just hide out in the middle of nowhere and been extracted by chopper? |

I assumed it was because that the needed him to get to a place where they knew exactly where he was as locating by phone signal would not be that accurate especially in open country.
