rockNrollaDIM Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Brody totally had a semi going on after his make-out session with his wife in the kitchen. I'm glad I notice these things.....It seems to me that they're going to have to conclude the Brody storyline this season, right? They're putting this guy in a corner that's going to be very hard for them to write their way out of.LOL, people were pointing that out in the review/recap I was reading today.Seems that way to me too. And I say good for them. Even though Damien Lewis is fantastic in the role, I don't want this to be a show that implausibly drags out a single plot point for six seasons. I wonder, if/when the floor falls out from under him, will they find a way to keep him on the show? And his family, and Mike? Carrie and Saul etc can obviously continue their arc with fighting new terror threats but if Brody dies or gets life in prison, then I guess that's that for him.Oh and aDIM, could you maybe discuss previews for next week in spoiler tags? I watch the show online so I don't see the previews once the episode finishes.My bad. Sure thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Interesting point and I'm inclined to agree. From what I know of Lebanon, it's a pretty secular nation with at least half the population being Christians. Although it doesn't help that there was in fact a major terrorist attack in Beirut this morning. So there you go.http://www.deadline.com/2012/10/global-showbiz-briefs-news-corp-homeland-and-beirut-joe-wright-on-west-end-josh-berger-the-audience-in-canada/#comment-3696787 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockNrollaDIM Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Well, more or less half.The point being Beirut is a fairly Westernized city and despite the car bombing today it's not really the terrorist den it was made out to be.

For about 20 years following the Israeli occupation, Syrian occupation, and civil war it was fairly bad. Over the past 5-10 years there has been a lot of improvements and reform and it's a fairly modern city these days. However Hezbollah still has significant influence in Southern Lebanon and parts of Beirut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoursTruly Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I just caught up on this show. Very enjoyable, though I thought last week's episode was the weakest of the series, with some questionable story choices. However, the final scene was very satisfying, and it will be good to see Carrie and Brody interacting again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 You know I watch the show every week and I think it's terrific. And both Danes and Lewis are fantastic, yet I can't quite put it at that next level just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 ^I agree. There's something about it, or maybe something not about it that stops me from loving it as much as some of the other great shows now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 As long as the Carrie stuff is this good I'm more or less fine with Brody's plots being completely ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedarpoint1111 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Over the past week, I watched all the episodes. Absolutely loved the first season and I am loving the second season so far. Last Sunday's episode was pretty good, but the ending was excellent. I was so damn happy for Carrie that she finally found out she was right and every other son of a bitch was wrong. I cannot wait until next episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockNrollaDIM Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 "You're a disgrace to your nation, Sergeant Brody. You are a traitor and a terrorist and now it's time you pay for that."Ep-ic. Can't wait to see where they go from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAR Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Boy I talked about the show making the leap from a very good show to a great one. That last scene may have just put it there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 With Brody being arrested after only 4 episodes it's safe to say that this season is fucking with people's expectations big-time and it's amazing. Absolutely no clue what's going to happen next.I had thought the bulk of the season would be shadowing Brody with clues pointing to something big happening that the presidential convention where Walden gets officially nominated.But suffice to say, there is no fucking way Damien Lewis returns next season. I can't see any way he doesn't end up dead or indefinitely confined to Guantanamo or Leavenworth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
