Great show. Definitely filled the 24 shaped hole in my Sunday evening _iewing.
Although, let's hope they come up with a better opening sequence this time! |

"Damien Lewis got the Emmy.
If you missed the first series, More4 is showing it from this week prior to the new series starting."
This is quoted from his acceptance speach 
"I'm one of those pesky Brits, I apologise. I don't really believe in judging art, but I thought I'd show up just in case." |

It's series linked! I may also let it record anyway as sometimes you just have to rewind to catch that little clue. It's a dilemma. |

The recording is only about skipping through the ads. I'm still not entirely decided. |

I think it was on Sky Atlantic as I wanted to watch it but couldn't. I can't remember what it's called though. If it's on your series link the box should remember when the new series starts. |

CIA Officer Claire Danes suspects him but she's bi-polar, very driven and has had an affair with him.
He also returned a Muslim... |

That's not a sub-plot that has emerged. He's on the edge too but he is the American poster boy.
His wife and family thought he was dead and had built a new life with... yes, you guessed it, his best buddy.
It's very well written. I haven't seen the original Israeli series it's based on but it's well paced and fits with America and the war on terror very well. |

I didn't bother with the American version of The Killing but I only found out about the Israeli Homeland halfway through the American series. No one I have spoken to has seen it so it's good to see your recommendation. |

"Who else thinks Saul will not last the 1st 5min of episode 3 ??
"
the 1st 5 minutes made me laugh thinking of what you said.. it was a good guess though.......
fairly slow episode this week but sets up the rest of the series I suppose.... |

That happened few times in first series and just when you thought about giving up B00M
Though would have thought Saul would have gone straight to the office with that intel.. Am guessing he won't ever make it there now  |

"Oh god that was good!!!!
Is he double double crossing?!?!! "
Dunno, think one of the agents is working for nazir. (the one in the van on the stakeout who was 'asleep', then stayed over the drain with the mic...)
Good episode tonight, a few storylines being woven there;-)  |

I don't think so.. because i think she said that she already knew they were staking out the shop for 2 weeks before they decided to go in.......
but the is he now a "double or triple" agent theme is going to be running thoughtout the series...
not sure if i like the dana curve thought.... very much reminds me of the kim bauer stuff in 24..... |

"I think he said "we meet at last "
Wasn't the chap who turned up in the last scene a shaven Abu Nazir? It's hardly the first time he and Brodie have met."
. Bit confused myself ,that's if it is Nazir because he texted him from the CIA building during the operation to eliminate him
,surely he would not be treating brody like that ...perhaps I'am missing something |

Its easy - he was, then he wasnt, then he could have been, then she loved him so she set him free, and now she'll be going to chase him again...

Having said that, Im realllly not sure about Saul...

I'm not really sure about any of them anymore. Saul is in charge now and he didn't ask how Carrie was standing in front of him. |

That's the last we have seen of Broudy, he been a simple pawn in the whole thing. It's too obvious for it all to be Saul.
I just have a couple of questions (could be just down to poor writing).
How could Nasir possibly put together such a complex plan that hinged on Broudy not setting off the bomb in the bunker is the first series.
How did Nasir know Vice Pres Walden would even pick Broudy as his running mate, let alone know he had a pacemacker
And the last question
Where can I get a life?

Who had access the the video of Brody and would leak it to blame Brody for the Langley explosion. Surely not Saul,Carrie was still unaccounted for and he obviously thinks so much of her. It wouldn't occur to him at that time to do that.
BTW. Mandy Patinkin as Saul,One of the best,understated acting classes I've ever seen |

Agree about the actor...
But I think theres something odd about Saul's relationship with his wife but Im not sure what....
And also a bit odd for Quinn to just say the assassination is off after all these weeks, especially after the scene with Brody praying by the lake... |

According to the paper on saturday, the actors [playing Brodie and Carrie have just signed a contract for then next 4 years worth of Homeland!
Agree Mandy Pankin is a great actor - but so is the lady playing Carrie, quite superbly manic! |
