The question I have is : Is Brody too embedded in United States Politics at this point to allow it to get out that he's a traitor? The current VP, Walden, has already floated Brody's name as his choice as his running mate and next VP....guilt by association would kill Walden's chances to become the next President. He can't let that happen. Watching the politics play out despite this apparent smoking gun will be incredibly interesting to watch. [Reply]

I think we're about to see the conspiracy get bigger. [Reply]

They can just make him a suicide, have an accident, go postal, the number of options to make him go away and not let the stench get on them,
But, I think this show is going down the cover up/conspiracy route. [Reply]

Correct, no way they kill off a guy that just won best actor Emmy. [Reply]

Holy shit that was a great episode. Best acting of the series. Brody's scene in the woods and Carries attempt at suicide was emmy winning worthy. [Reply]

The way this was handled bothered me. So she takes a ton of pills and nothing every happens and then she is back to normal. Shouldn't she have not had some sickness or stomach pumping...hell anything. Only thing I can think of is that the pills she is taking are not really pills they are placebo to trick her mind into being right, if that were the case it would not kill her. [Reply]
I really thought they'd drag the Carrrie forgetting thing out and then have an "aha" moment. And I was ready to trash the first episode. And then the ending!
And then I thought they had him lose the sd card...and I thought surely they won't cop out that way. And they didn't.
I had a lot of questions about this show, but this season has been excellent so far. [Reply]
Just watched all the episodes of this show in the last few weeks. Very good writing and acting. It was very interesting at the beginning of the series that you couldn't even really trust Carrie as a narrator and it made you doubt a lot that was going on. It's also rare to have two central characters in Carrie and Brody that are both so complex. They each believe they're doing the right thing based on their own perspectives of the world, but they're also both incredibly flawed and damaged (Carrie is bipolar and will stop at absolutely nothing to achieve her goals while Brody has become a sociopath during his time as a POW and is torn between his country and his terrorist captors). The 2nd season has also started off just as good as the last, perhaps better. It looks like they're going to explore their relationship for the rest of the season, and I hope they do, because the scenes when they were together in S1 were among the best. [Reply]
I've watched the whole series in the last week. The acting is fantastic, the production is top notch, the only difficulty I have is that some of the plotting is just so far-fetched that it's hard to suspend disbelief. Which is saying something for me. But all-in-all it's a really good series so far. [Reply]
This show is so good. Just so freaking good. I just got caught up to recent with it.
I give my wife a ton of shit for getting so invested into whatever she's watching, that she ends up talking to the screen. I had my moment of doing that,
Spoiler!
when the sniper had Abu Nazir in his sights. You know it wasn't going to happen, but I kept saying TAKE HIM TAKE HIM TAKE HIM to the TV, right up until he fled in his SUV.
Easily one of the top three shows going on any channel you want to think of. [Reply]

That smile she gave after she met him at the CIA, same one she gave when she ditched her tail in Lebanon, helps make her charector realistic. She is in it for the thrill. She loves the game. [Reply]
