maybe carrie n brody will go on the run
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 12 December 2012 23:32 (eleven years ago) link
really the best would be if carrie and brodie died and saul became the start

after resigning from the cia he opens a flower shop but really its a secret spy consultancy
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 12 December 2012 23:38 (eleven years ago) link
Would much rather watch a full season of Mandy Patinkin working deep cover from a flower shop than see another frame of Brodie or his storyline. Also his wife. And kids.

the daughter is the most otm character in the show, also she dresses well

dana reminds me of hillary clinton

only a matter of time before she wears a houndstooth pantsuit beside veepspawn tennant

I like Dana, and Baccarin is underappreciated, but I REALLY hope Brody dies next week.

i feel like it's gonna be saul

i appreciate baccarin nudge nudge

if they take saul from us i think im out
― lag∞n, Thursday, 13 December 2012 00:19 (eleven years ago) link
there are an excess of brodies on the show, i could part with at least one
― everlasting fonts of (soda), Thursday, 13 December 2012 00:25 (eleven years ago) link
anytime Mandy Patinkin is on a show there is at least a 50% chance he will peace out and they have to write his character out of the show

ice cold but i have to agree, i nominate chris because i don't think he can get a storyline otherwise

what. he has karate lessons. how is that not a storyline.

would LOVE to see a whole episode of just chris brody hanging out w/mike. TRUTH.
― Sax Blatterday (jaymc), Thursday, 13 December 2012 06:47 (eleven years ago) link
you want to watch chris play kuma wars and eat cereals while mike's biding his time waiting for chris' mom ?

The idea that Brody/Carrie love has suddenly become an all-important bit of emotional motivation in these past few eps is pretty hilarious.
― HOLY MOPEDS (R Baez), Friday, 14 December 2012 00:49 (eleven years ago) link
you know why Brody liked Abu Nazir so much? Cos he's the only person who ever used his first name
― Number None, Friday, 14 December 2012 15:31 (eleven years ago) link
so tonights got to end w carrie becoming the new brodie right, i mean he flipped her, they are their own terrorist cell now
― lag∞n, Sunday, 16 December 2012 23:53 (eleven years ago) link
plus when saul tells her theyre gonna kill brodie that pushes her further
― lag∞n, Sunday, 16 December 2012 23:54 (eleven years ago) link
why did brodie's wife call him brodie all the time? that really annoyed me. she NEVER called him Nick.

ha i read an interview of the creator w reader submitted questions today and he totally dodged the one abt how they werent tracking brodies phone but they did say that in their research of military culture they found that this was a not uncommon practice
― lag∞n, Monday, 17 December 2012 00:42 (eleven years ago) link
I read that same interview, it was a really terrible interview that I came away from having absolutely zero faith in these guys as showrunners

Wife calling Brody Brody seems like a high school nickname that stuck.

It went big, but not in the way I was hoping
Maybe not the best timing for a mass-murder-on-US-soil ep
― Simon H., Monday, 17 December 2012 08:06 (eleven years ago) link
lol @ carrie just coming back like it's no thing that she disappeared for a day or two right after a bomb exploded in the cia. how is she gonna explain that? "i went for a quicky with alleged terrorist brody the bomb exploded but i believed him when he told me he didn't do it so i helped him get fake id, money and a route out of the country, but hey look, i'm back, i'm one of the good ones you know let's all forget what i just did". i liked saul telling her she was the smartest and dumbest person he knew, but that honour might just go to him if he just accepts her back into the fold.
― Jibe, Monday, 17 December 2012 08:07 (eleven years ago) link
there is a new york magazine recap of this ep that explores the possibility of carrie rehabilitating brodie's image, like as if at some point it might work out if somebody makes the distinction that although okay he previously had been a double agent & sure had made the suicide video & yeah synchronous with his ascendance had been plotting to kill & yeah i mean i guess had if you wanna slice it that way sorta killed the veep he totally didn't do it this time, & so could theoretically return gloriously to public life. that was him leaving the show while leaving open ~dramatic character return~ possibilities afaict.

carrie said she was gonna clear his name
― lag∞n, Monday, 17 December 2012 15:10 (eleven years ago) link
and she's also probably the one person who has the least cred to clear his name. she knew he was a terrorist and has v strong feelings for him, she helped him flee the country and was conspicuously absent when the bomb exploded. you hardly get more biased on the topic of brody than carrie. also, i guess the showrunners are still going with the mole angle, cos brody's car was moved from its spot. such shoddy security though, letting in a car packed with explosives and then letting someone move that car right next to the hall.
― Jibe, Monday, 17 December 2012 15:28 (eleven years ago) link
ha yeah that was ridiculous, someone moved my car
― lag∞n, Monday, 17 December 2012 15:32 (eleven years ago) link
brody was all "sweet, i'm gonna get some action with carrie in a cia office. also she just said she was ready to live with me but hey waitaminute, what's my car doing there?". i don't know that saul would approve of his office being used for that purpose btw.
― Jibe, Monday, 17 December 2012 15:44 (eleven years ago) link
saul is dumping yr friend into the ocean we can totally swing an f in his office hey whats yr car doing there
― lag∞n, Monday, 17 December 2012 15:46 (eleven years ago) link
in the opening credits, carrie says "i let it happen once, i won't let it happen again". she was actually talking about having sex in saul's office and she's the one who exploded brody's car to prevent her from making that same mistake again. that's why she let her herself be so easily convinced by brody, cos she knew who had actually planted that carbomb !

everything about that finale was f'in ridiculous but this bit was maybe #1 dumbest for me -- black ops hardman Quinn has miracle change of heart about killing Brody, threatens to murder head of CIA; head of CIA says "ok fine," calls off hit on Brody, lets Saul go free and promises to promote Carrie to a high position of responsibility
― dmr, Monday, 17 December 2012 22:21 (eleven years ago) link
o_0 at this:http://www.salon.com/2012/12/17/homeland_showrunner_addresses_season_2_criticism/
Especially this:“Brody could have died in a number of ways. But we always come back to the fact that whenever those two characters are on screen with each other, the show elevates. And so the idea that we’re actually going to end his story for good is…one that we’re terrified of doing because it really means that we would really have to reinvent the show in a way that it would be a completely different show.”
GOOD, you idiot! This one's getting ridiculous.
― schwantz, Monday, 17 December 2012 22:27 (eleven years ago) link
agree that Carrie walking back in like it's no big deal is absurd. I thought the lightbulb was gonna go on over Saul's head as soon as he heard "Carrie and Brody both unaccounted for."
