It would be so incredibly illogical for Saul to be a mole. If he worked for Nazir, bringing back Carrie to the CIA to help take him down when in this show's reality she's the only one who can was stupid. Saul could have easily smashed that microchip or not bothered to do a double when the Lebanese security forces checked his bag at the airport. If he works for Nazir then he sucks.
He told Brody. "Believe it or not, the New York Times." And he didn't know exactly where, just that it was near the workout machine. Brody had to search through a lot of things looking for it.
Ah damn I forgot about that...I just have a hard time believing that. Why would he share with Brody that there was a mole? He knew that Brody was only doing the deed to save Carrie initially, and that Brody really was no longer trusted so why give Brody that info?
He had no reason to say the NYtimes though. I think we can take that at face value. It's plausible that in an interview with the NY times the Veep said "I always keep my defibrillator kit near by workout machine in my office." Then if you have any knowledge of the pace maker technology (which they obviously did) you could figure out how those kits work and that they include a serial number on the inside cover in case someone has to call in an emergency.
They DID tip off the teacher and the girlfriend. When they were tailing him, the girlfriend got a phone call to tell her to put the American flag outside, which signalled for him to keep driving. They were also warned to get out of the house and go to the "safe" house before the CIA got there. I think the mole isn't that high up and only has certain clearance and access to information. Some of it is luck; Nazir would be dead if Brody wasn't in that room at that time to text him. I don't think anyone slipped the interrogated terrorist the blade. It was always a possibility that he had it in his shoe. They've been pretty good about clearing up what (and if) Brody has done anything.
This has got to be one of the better episodes of the season. I've always thought Galvez was the mole guess I was wrong. Where do they go now? Did Nazirs death just start the next phase in his master plan?
Finale's going to be good. Seems like Quinn is having second thoughts about taking out Brody especially if it involves Carrie. Quinn has turned from an unlikeable dick into a guy who actually has more sympathy than I thought.
You are EXACTLY where the writers want you. It shows they have done a good job. Spoiler It was renewed for a 3rd season a couple of months ago.
another great episode. I hear more and more of my friends talk about this show when b4 i thought i was the only one who watched it. Glad it's getting more fans. Great season and have no doubt the finale will be awesome.
Man, great episode. This show is addicting in ways like 24 was to me. But, 24 lost it's edge after a while because the writer's got sloppy or they didn't have much left. I really hope they don't over-do the show. When it's time to end it, they need to end it. Barring the finale being a disaster, these two seasons have been nothing short of spectacular.
Great episode. Was a little bit annoyed with the lone FBI guy going into his hideout. Like seriously? They're not going to call the other guys back before going in? I know it's a little thing but stuff like that just annoys me. For such a greatly written show as well.
Yea...I didn't really buy how they separated like that even if Carrie lagged behind because she saw something. At first, I thought those guys who quickly left them behind were actually terrorists who were setting Carrie and that other FBI guy up. If they are a team and go through this team sweep, then there is no way they separate imo. They would have all stopped at that point. Then, how convenient the one guy can't reach them on the radio when he needs them. I didn't buy any of that horse*@!#.
This show can only take two routes for season three with the main villain dead. Either Brody keeps on going down a downward spiral and becomes the main villain or the black CIA boss will become the bad guy and season three will be centered around taking him down. It seems like this episode is setting things up for option 2.
And didn't they say that the Tac Teams always work in pairs (not counting Carrie)? I thought that was a little far-fetched. Good episode though, and the finale should be decent.
Agreed...It can't be that easy, case closed if you will...I can't wait until next week. I wonder what's next...
I almost wish they would just end it because i'm worried that the series will drag on too long and start to get silly. Still, so far it's been great.
Yeah, and I don't see Brody getting taken out. Kill him, you kill the show. I do hope Estes gets what's coming to him in Season 3. You can see his point of view, but he's one of the same soulless "grey men" of whom John leCarre writes so well. They'd be stupid to let Roya go, something tells me we ain't seen the last of her yet (i.e., just because she's, uh, looking for work and chained to a urinal waiting for her next interview doesn't mean she's down and out).
