Maybe there is something more to all of that bullshit, maybe she plays a bigger role in all of this. If not, then WTF is the point? [Reply]

She was the only person Brody could relate to in season 1 and perhaps still even now. She's the reason he didn't set off the vest (the 2nd time). She's also a vehicle to humanize Brody. [Reply]

I'm really afraid the show jumped the shark this past week. Everything was bad about it. Nazir kidnapping an important CIA operative, Brody's task to kill the VP, return of Finn, etc. Even Lewis' acting was bad this episode. [Reply]

I understand that part. But, you can accomplish that without all the face time. The sub plot of the VP son, her brooding all the time etc. [Reply]

There was many WTF moments that last episode but it has a lot of well made episodes in the bank and its only its 2nd year. It's still the best show on television.
