In Carrie we trust - Homeland Season 2 thread

[Real]

Those explanations are constantly ignoring the mountain of evidence on the other side of the argument.

Might as well just say "Well, he IS a Muslim" and call it a day.

Saul aint muslim

Huh? The turn of events is lazy writing in of itself: you can't move a car to the front of the fukking CIA building and walk off. My point was just that I was wondering where the C4 came from, and I guess now it does make sense since we don't know what the CIA confiscated

None of us know when the car was moved. none of us. Was it before everyone got seated? was it before Estes gave his speech? Also, it's not shocking for valets to move cars, the pentagon isn't an exception. Having a terrorist dressed as a valet only to move Brody's car closer to where the memorial was is very plausible. I'm just throwing that out there. There was nothing lazy about the writing during that incident, you're just upset they didn't show you every single second of what made that plan happen and it rubbed you the wrong way. It reminded me of people who wondered how Bruce got back into Gotham after escaping the pit, just because the writer or director didn't show you the timeline of it playing out doesn't mean something is off.

My problems with the show range beyond that. Nearly all of S2 was bad imo, and full of bad writing used to justify shytty plot points. Need to stop Nazir's assassination? Let Brody bring a cell phone into the gawd damn Pentagon and text him (in real time of course). Is this Homeland or 24, brehs?

Do you remember exactly how that scene with Brody getting brought into the room to wach the hit on Nazir? He was literally rushed in there by the VP who was all giddy and shyt. No one got checked for anything, not just Brody. Human error is what made Brody slip that cellphone in, the agents on hand and the officials fukked up because of what was going on. My nikka, this is common sense.

replies in bold. Anything else?

Saul aint muslim

I was referring to Carrie's reason for suspecting Galvez

 

[AkaDemiK]

What if they have a perfect explanation for it

it would have to be something like Saul is a mole taking down specific terrorists to benefit himself, otherwise it would be ridiculous.

First on the car: a "valet" is not moving a car to the front of the CIA breh. Again, it's a clear example of the writers taking an ends justify the means approach to the plot. They wanted the CIA to get blown up, and making sense was thrown out the window.

On the situation room: It's not common sense. That "fukk up" would not happen, period. Not even the president walks into a situation room with a cell phone, bro. And like I said, how you gonna send a text in DC and it goes to the middle east immediately - exactly fast enough to stop an assassination?

Brody should have died at the end of S1 brehs. His entire arc felt too forced, and now they're gonna continue it into S3? Come on, I was wishing Quinn would kill him when he was praying.

And I'm still mad my nikka Estes is gone

The whole point of the explosion was that everyone had their guard down after Nazir died. Obviously shyt can happen, especially if the car the bomb was in a Congressman's car. The cell phone situation was off though but they admitted that

We don't even know how long the car was in front of the building. There hasn't even been enough time for them to figure out details of the attack, 5 seconds after we see his truck in front of the building, the explosion happens. How was common sense thrown out the window? You're upset they havent' explained something they haven't had a chance to explain yet.

I mean, the truck was on a roadway in front of the building. So the idea of a vehicle being in that area isn't absurd. It's not like the shyt was just parked on a sidewalk or the grass and nobody noticed anything.

Brody should have died at the end of S1 brehs. His entire arc felt too forced, and now they're gonna continue it into S3? Come on, I was wishing Quinn would kill him when he was praying.

We don't even know if Brody will be in S3. Everybody but Carrie thinks Brody died in the attack. Saul and Carrie will be putting the CIA back together and will probably be working on a new case.

All I know is people are going to be thrown in the bushes next season.

 

[Swiggy]

I think...

But you know...

And....

Aw fukk it, I can't go back and forth with the brehs on this. I enjoyed the shyt, I feel for those that saw flaws, as I did for the Dark Knight Rises (still like it tho), but I've done my duty this season.

I was here, it happened, I'm full

nikkas and gentlemen, until the next batch of awards.

 

[StatUS]

when did they admit that? are they gonnna adress skyping with a blackberry 8300?

It was in a tv guide interview. The bigger question is why was Nazir using an iPhone?

Which proves my theory that Apple is a terrorist organaztion, GSDG .

One of my coworkers recognized Saul (Mandy Patinkin) as Inigo Montoya from The Princess Bride:

Hadn't seen the movie in years, never made the connection. Mind was blown. Rewatched tonight, loved it yet again.

He also had a funny bit in Run Ronnie Run:
