The car mob scene was pretty intense. Other than that, I felt the first two episodes were kind of lackluster. I think Homeland does it the best when it focuses on CIA ops and political bullshit. I don't want to see PTSD Quinn.

And, regarding the car mob scene, I'm surprised the mob didn't back away after Quinn opened fire, and I feel like Quinn hesitated a lot despite the immediate danger. I guess he couldn't just empty his clip, either, though.

Hey guys, I'm pretty sure Carrie is sleeping with the kid to secure him as an asset, not because she's into him. Don't get me wrong, it's silly, but let's at least be clear on why it's silly

There is no wart anyone RV DDR thought the latter. God, I hope someone isn't that dense.

So Saul saw the guy he was tailing go into an airport bathroom quickly followed by some other guys. What was the plan when Saul went in after them? What was the best case scenario? Was he planning to recreate the bathroom fight from True Lies?

Saul thought the two guys that went in after killed the ISI dude. When he saw only those two leave, he thought, "well, wtf happened. ISI dude dead?" Then, Saul went into investigate only to find out he got played.

Also, True Lies is sooooooo good...

I just saw the preview for tomorrow's episode. It looks so drat good!

I'm glad it was Saul that got captured and not some mook. The poo poo they are doing and probably going to do wouldn't make any sense unless it was someone at Saul's level and background.

So when Carrie was trying to talk to Aayan's friend, and Quinn posing as a guard grabbed her, was that all her tripping out on drugs? It totally faked me out.

You thought that was really Quinn? In what world would Carrie be able to kick his rear end

That's why I was so confused. But I thought it was believable because it's easier to bash someone's head into a table than safely restrain them.

Homeland was renewed for another season / 12 more episodes. I will be watching season 5.

Saul's failed escape had me by the edge of my seat. So intense!

I can't wait for that goober mole to get caught and interrogated by Carrie.

The first half of season 2 was fantastic. The interrogation scene was the most riveting thing I've seen on TV and it's just two people talking. I also liked the knife stab.

Remind me what the interrogation scene was again?

It was midday. The three cars passed under a couple of trees and they were all 'welp, hosed if I know'.

I thought it was due to the cars going in three separate directions and there was only one drone. The 50 dudes were all in one area and did not disperse.

VVVV: I was a little disappointed to see Boss Lady Carrie get shut down by the Ambassador, I was hoping to see some waterboarding action.

You know that was part of the plan, right? It was so the Ambassador could play nice cop and make him fess up to her. Dennis didn't break right then and there but he got caught trying to sneak out later.

Boss Lady Carrie was so good!

Edit: no episode until 12/7???

That look Aquani (spell? the current terorrist leader) gave before he went into the tunnel was so :hist101:

Haqqani.

And, yeah, that whole scene ending with him walking in the tunnel with flickering lights was incredible.

Does anyone know of the ratings for last night's episode? Not that it matters, but 9.8 on IMDB. Wow.

I hope Quinn wipes out half the team Jack Bauer style.

My prediction on what's going to happen: Director What the loving gently caress is going to eat it and then they'll have to bring someone in to replace him... Saul! After going through all this, he'll feel defeated, but he'll have a renewed sense of desire to do the right thing again and resume his passion after an emotion and persuasive speech and recommendation from Carrie.

How else would they make Saul relevant again?

At this point, it's just Carrie's BD vs. Quinn's PTSD.

I hope Carrie rats out the ISI because I cannot stand that ISI lady. I hope she is gone.

Also, lol at Dennis not being able to do it. Man, the writers are doing one hell of a job to crush this man.

I thought every scene Quinn was in, he was going to get killed. I don't get Dar Adal's play or motive here. What does he get out of all this?
