And I cant root for Saul or Quinn because they put up with Carries nonsense. At this point in the show I'm rooting for the terrorist and to just see Mrs. Brody get it on... To bad she's is freaking pregnant!
Seriously. Is this a new fad to watch a show that you allegedly hate you can clutter up threads on message boards with how horrible the show is? Just quit watching if you like absolutely nothing about it.
Lot of hate going on here, but it's the hate born of exasperation with something you love---or want to love. Carrie is what she is. In real life she'd've been pulled from the op long ago, but, then again, they need Brody for their plans and she's key to that. Spoiler Brody still believes in some Never-Never-Land where he can pull off the impossible op and can home and be with Carrie. Carrie, at least, is believable in her craziness. She doesn't know how to connect with the reality or unreality of things. I'd like to think, sure, she wants to nurture her unborn child, but the truth is, her job consumes her. She's self-destructive. And that could very well kill her baby, too. But she can't let go of (i.e., terminate) the baby because it's her one small link to humanity...and to Brody. It's just that she has the nurturing skills of a 14 year-old kid raised on Xbox. The best thing in the end is a Romeo-and-Juliet thing. Because these people can only be doomed. Depending on how long they want to drag out the show. Funny how you post this at the exact same minute.
Sunday night is family night, and my mother loves the show... we used to watch Breaking Bad but now we are forced into watching this show. Plus the first season was so great that I have faith they can get thier act together.
Yep, I agree with your spoiler stuff. Not sure why someone would say the writers are not this complex. The show is very complex. It seems the people who are struggling with liking the show are also the ones complaining that it doesn't make sense, can't follow it, etc. It's a complex show, with a complex plot with a lot of moving characters and parts to it.
Umm technically they hinted at when he hired the spy, it has to be when Sauls wife met the spy guy in which ever foreign country she was in. See no matter how you split it this senator plot line bs does not add up in anyway. 1. They were going for a suspenseful deadline with saul racing to get things done before hes is out and the new senator is in. This worked for me because we expected something big was going to happen on sauls last day. Now they stretch this crap another two weeks which takes away from the suspense. 2.you said it yourself the senator couldn't have known sauls was going to pull off some genious stuff..... So why hire a spy? 3.As if the first two were not enough bs already, he goes into sauls home and plants a device which is easily found. Senator plot not needed Dana not needed Carrie should just be gone by now She should have told Brody that she is pregnant.
It's like saying a soap opera is complex... or Profesional Wrestling. The only way it makes sense is if you throw out all logic right from the start. If I watch this show like it's supposed to make sense, I just get pissed off at how much nonsense is happening at the CIA and I want everybody fired for allowing so much crap to happen to our country. It's a character based show in an environment where characters should be easily changeable, Because who we really are cheering for is the USA. Not some crazy spy.
She was in India. And we know she met the agent there, we don't know if the Senator hired the agent then or if the agent approached the Senator later. To you. For all we know the Senator was approached by the agent after it was announced that he'd be the appointment. Maybe Mossad is basically trying to recruit HIM without him knowing it. Or the Senator, who has been after the CIA because he has major problems with the intelligence community, hired the agent to get information to use against the CIA. It doesn't make sense right now because you literally have almost none of the details. I agree, the decision to delay the suspense momentarily felt very cheap. Especially if they actually want us to care about the the suspense being brought back. It's been made clear from the beginning that he was out to get the CIA in some way. It was suggested at the beginning of this season that this guy might try to take the CIA charter away. Yeah, agreed, that was just stupid. Mossad agents should be outraged. Disagree. It's made the season really good in my opinion Agree with all of that. Couldn't care less. Hate the pregnancy angle all together. She obviously has even accepted the reality of the pregnancy herself. She's taken hundreds of tests, has made no life style changes to accommodate the pregnancy, didn't even ask about it after being shot, etc.
Consider the poster. I'll agree with those who say the show can be a bit on the non-believable side, but they've reigned in a lot of that from the last season (my "oh, come on!"s have diminished significantly). Spoiler For example, I highly doubt Carrie would have just been able to drive off base so easily with her skinhead boyfriend. He is, after all, the most wanted terrorist in the world. If I were Saul, I'd have security on him tighter than a virgin's, uh, you-know. Especially knowing Carrie's crazy proclivities. I mean, what? "Hey, Carrie, well, guess that Dana thing didn't work out too well. Pull over into Circle K and get me a Super Duper Ooper Fat-Azz Dr. Pepper. Can you buy? I'm a little short on cha-ching right now, ha ha." "Gosh, Brody, I don't know, all that DP might make you have to take a gargantuan piss mid-flight. How about a 12 ounce can instead?" But the show has come up with a few good twists and turns this year and I hope the payoff is good. I'll reserve overall judgment til then. And to reiterate, any less-than-credible moments this season pale in comparison to some of last year's.
Surprised at all the hate... I think Season 3 has been a nice rebound from Season 2, and last night's episode was one of the best of the season. I think this show has been on a nice roll for the last 3 or 4 episodes.
You do know the obly reason they added the sixteen days thibg is because they are trying to prep Brody and nothing more. Exactly what is starting to bother me with this show is the unecessarys.
Is it even possible that the child is Brody's, I thought we are 4 months removed from the bombing and she is 13 weeks pregnant? Or am I mistaken?
Same here. I don't understand the whole "OMG the fictional show is so unbelievable sometimes!"/hate watching crowd.
The latter half of season 2 definitely had some of those moments where I could understand people getting upset with the realism, but this season has overall been pretty tame and grounded IMO. There's always going to be some conveniences. Even the Holy Grail that is Breaking Bad had moments that were absurd that people were willing to overlook. Only real problem I had with this season is Dana's random love story, but other than that, it's been very enjoyable.
