Series 4 is definitely my favorite now. A lot of interesting characters. Somehow, I think that Homeland is so much better after Brody died. I don't miss Brody's family either.

The Ambassador, whatever her name is, is by far the best addition!

The best addition by far has been Khan, Tasneem, Art Malik and Aayan

WOW. Great Episode. I think they may be channelling the Libyan Embassy fiasco with this one.

So far Tasneem is the star of the series for me, she just oozes sinister intentions and duplicity.

I'm thrilled she is a woman who isn't so easily bought by her husband's lies, just because he is err... her husband. There are some women think with their proverbial penis as much as some men.

Still Not sure why the the US Embassy in a particularly dangerous country will have an un manned drainage grille that allows entrance and exit by anyone.

He should have died in series 1 and then we'd have mourned him and it would have gone down in history as bloody good and fearless television... but instead we had the watch the quality swirling down the drain in 2 (which was okay) and 3 (which really wasn't).

But gods, I'm enjoying season 4. Brilliant, gripping stuff.

In 24, CTU had the same.

The inevitable showdown between carrie and tasneem will be great.

Agreed, am loving this series far more than previous 2. However I feel Quinn is underused at the moment.

It was Thanksgiving in the US - a time when people allegedly visit family and friends and socialise rather than watch TV

So a lot of TV networks drop their flagship series, rather than suffer reduced ratings

And yeah...if the latest episode hasn't been aired in the States yet, you won't be getting it over here
Thanksgiving was on the 27th November, whereas the missed ep 10 would have aired on the 30th November, so I doubt that was the reason.

If the ending of last nights show happened in real life, that would no doubt be seen as a declaration of war I think and it would not be wise for any country to allow such a double cross like that to take place.

What a stupid decision it was to send all the Marine's out though. It occured to me within seconds that they ere leaving themselves wide open to an attack by sending the Marines out and that could have been the real/main intention of the attack on the convoy.

Saul was a right idiot too with the way he was being.

In what way? He didn't want saving if it meant more people could die later on, which is fair enough if you ask me.

Oh, I just assumed the whole convoy was wiped out. It looked like a complete fireball.
Was thinking that Quinn would take over Carrie's position?
Although I really hope Carrie and Saul survive.

Well he'll be in his element if the embassy is under attack so I wouldn't be surprised
to see more of him next episode (which I can't wait for)

There were only 2 RPG's sent blowing up the first and third cars in the convoy, Carrie and Saul were in the 2nd which crashed into the 1st hence they may be injured but not dead. (They can't kill off them both I suspect, but we shall see next week if I'm right).

We watched it last night (recorded), come the end we were like oh no we've got to wait 6 days to find out what happens next! Gripping stuff, people who stopped watching because of there being no Brody are really missing out.

Finally season 4 has kicked into high gear, the best episode since season 2 and one of the best in the entire collection. Still not a patch on season 1 but hopefully the next 3 episodes will remain this good.

Rewatching that episode again I have it on good authority, Hawkeye actually , that Carrie and Saul were in the 2nd car which wasn't hit directly , the General , Khan and Tasneem are out of the picture then now?

Right back at ya!

If the ISI were dumb enough to do a double cross like that in real life, then the Americans would either give Pakistan a right spanking or they would want the double crossers handed over.

Your analogy on Libya is not comparable at all as errr Libya is in a state of civil war and no Goverment controls the country properly there at all.

Having said that it seems no Civil democratic elected Government can fully control the Pakistan Army and the ISI either and even Zia Ul Huq the Military leader couldn't as he too was killed along with 16 of his Top Generals almost certainly on an inside job but maybe by just 1 person on the inside with collaberation from another country I think......
