I think they definitely have. I had an inkling that something must be in the works in terms of a terrorist plot partly 1) the show is about terrorists and if you don't have a terrorist plot going on, well then wtf is the show doing 2) Nasir gave himself up way too easily. He knew that by bringing Carrie in AND letting her go that there would be a risk he would be killed. So he had a backup plan in mind, and of course that plan had to be set in motion (and doesn't need his help) before even kidnapping Carrie. I am totally pumped for next season though. Going to be amazing.
He had to know they at least had it and watched it. Remember when Sal got detained at the Beirut airport, they were looking specifically for the SD memory with the video. While we are at it, I found that minor sequence to be weak and unnecessary.
It still doesn't mean they knew. As far as they knew, the SD card was never recovered by anyone. That being said: Spoiler Brody's explanation that Nazir sacrificed himself and his team for the greater good is entirely plausible in the terrorism world. In essence, Nazir was planning in the event that Brody had turned and had the additional pieces in place for the ultimate bombing.
It's not like the CIA had to recover the SD card, it's just that it would be stupid on their part (Nazir's) not to assume that extra copies were made by the CIA. The part you've put in spoilers is absolutely true. Anyways, I think I'm done guessing.
Looked at first like they were setting up Season 3 as some kind of fugitive series (which could have been ok). Tommy Lee Jones would sign on to hunt down Brody and Carrie. I'm wondering if Brody will be in the next season at all (or the other Brodys).
The one thing that keeps bugging me throughout the whole series is how they keep called Nick Brody 'Brody'. Seriously, even the wife calls him Brody, wtf?
He goes by Brody. Perhaps his friend in high school was named Nick or there were multiple Nicks at some point in his early life so he went by Brody. It became what people called him. She met him in high school and knew him as Brody. It doesn't matter that they are married, she calls him what she's always called him. He clearly prefers to be called it as everyone calls him that. I don't know why this is bugging you or others. Did you never know anyone in high school that had the same name as someone else so they went by something else? Sometimes that just sticks.

Gf got into the show, rewatching some epis with her in season 2. Some unrealistic things keep happening. Like the whole flat tire on the way to the safe house issue for instance. Its always more believible when there is a cause for these things.
There were alot more things that came across as unrealistic in comparison to that. A flat tire with no intentional cause is completely realistic. Terrorists getting a potential vice president mole into place, and then risking exposing him in order to move another suspected terrorist to a safe house was much more difficult to buy Still enjoyed the show though over all.
It's an enjoyable show but you have to go into accepting that in order to get the scenes they want they are going to ask you to overlook things that are way out of realism. A terrorist hit team with fully automatic weapons bursting into clothing shop in the middle of the day and gunning down a CIA team in order to get their hands on C4? Nope. Someone pulling a car up to the front of a CIA building where all those dignitaries are speaking and just leaving it there with no security ever looking at it? Nope. Heck, how bad was the security at Langley that a car full of C4 managed to get in in the first place? A bomb goes off at Langley and Carrie and Brody are able to find a way off the premises and run? Nope. I mean yeah, the show isn't realistic.
Applause Store sent me an email offering a chance to go and I signed up for that Top Gear episode, didn't get it Still I didn't know Damian Lewis was English!
It wasent the flat tire but the timing of it. As if there like hmm we cant just get him to the safe house safely, were going to add so much complexity. I mean they could have just made Basil a very angry guy who didnt want to go to the house and that in itself i would buy.
