Except he kills people and cold blood and breaks D-bags cheekbones. Sooooo he's got that going for him.

I don't see the Quin=Dana comparison. The dude is dealing with his pain like a man by drinking, fighting, & f-ing. Big deal she's fat... It's convenient plus she cleans his apartment.

When did Quin show interest Carrie? I don't recall any love interest b/t the two.

I think it goes without saying that we're going to have love drama. But that said, I'm just hoping they can keep it from going overboard. I just don't want to see a bunch of tortured soul puppy dog crap. Spending a couple of episodes humping the fat girl while wallowing in self pity was definitely heading down that avenue, but there is hope now at least with him getting back in the ****.

Is the Istanbul field office where they send all the misfits and traitors? I'm pretty sure if I canceled my boss' meeting without telling her and then publicly said "young woman we need to have a talk" I would be thrown, not walked, out the door.

The show is about spies and spies doing spie stuff.

Except the show has had a large helping of love-affairs/domestic-crap in every season... So while I don't think there's anyone on earth that actually *likes* that aspect of the show, after three seasons it's safe to say the show is actually about spies doing cool spy stuff and spies doing domestic **** none of us care about.

PH

finally watched the first (and second) episode of this season, seriously (sadly) thought she was gonna drown the baby. I wouldn't have watched it anymore if that happened, I was definitely on the edge. wow.

Saul is still my favorite character.

and Carrie is a selfish *****.

Yeah she's becoming hard to deal with but don't forget that she does have a touch of the certifiable crazy. Having said that, that scene took her from selfish and annoying to a whole new level. I'm wondering how they're going to bring her back from that since it prob crossed a line with many viewers.

Carrie banging another terrorist...

I was hopeful that a completely new storyline and new characters would reignite this show, but I am complete uninterested so far.

Maybe it's because season 3 was so bad that I am suffering from diminished expectations, but I think it has been good so far.
That look Carrie gave herself in the mirror before the final scene was really telling.

Seems like it's basically juts swap one terrorist main baddie for another... though I guess that's what it's like in the real world too.

Show just needs more Saul doing Saul stuff.

Carrie is such a ho. Such an awkward scene. Like past seasons, this show is a mix of really good tv (Saul is great, the cellphone scene provide great tension) and the obnoxious (Crazy Carrie, pushing the limits on the volume of pouting, etc). The other strange factor about his season is that I'm not sure Current Crazy Carrie can cry while Previous Crazy Carrie could cry at the drop of a hat. But I'll keep watching.

Still very much interested in this show.

I think this season has been awesome....I don't really understand why the CIA cared about the kid before realizing his uncle was still alive though.... Also Carrie banging him seems kind of like jumping the shark.

I don't mind Carrie being a *****... It's her job to recruit and get people to trust her, and as a kid that wasn't trusting anyone that was the next logical route to go.

The show just walks a dangerously fine line between becoming another '24' where your token middle eastern baddie is thought to be dead but then isn't... and 7 episodes in when he's killed/captured it's revealed that he wasn't the one actually pulling the strings!

Actually now that I think about it, the show pretty much is a more intelligent '24'. Guess that's not a bad thing.

And it's from the creators of 24, so good observation!

She's doing a lot better for herself than the first couple seasons when that crazy crying face was so prevalent. She's not being hassled about her bi-polarity, she has the job she wants, and she's more or less obsessed with succeeding at it.

The point is she's not this emotionally unstable person she was in the first couple of seasons. She's more on the "breaking bad" side of things now, becoming more and more of the anti-hero modern cable dramas require. She knows full well how ****ed up taking Ayan's virginity is, which is why she gave it a second of thought when she found out, but ultimately the benefits far outweigh the cost of some nerd's sexual innocence.

Well I certainly didn't see that happening to Saul. Also was hoping the ambassador's husband would start working with the CIA before his ass got in the wringer even more. Oh well, he will come clean and eventually double cross the Pakis. And also sink his wife's diplomatic assignment. I think that's pretty clear.

I'm betting he tries to off himself before its all over.

Who? Ayam?

I thought the whole Saul stuff in the last episode was sort of ridiculous.

Former CIA director just chilling in a public Paki airport with no security.

I was referring to the Ambassadors husband.

So did you guys miss the season where the guy almost blows up leaders of state with a suicide vest then becomes a US Congressman?

Ahh yes I could see that happening. He's unraveling.

Ayan is going to unravel in a hurry too once he realizes he's not leaving Pakistan, he betrayed his uncle and his faith for psycho poonanny, and that poonanny is who dropped a bomb on the rest of his family. Quinn is probably going to end up cleaning up this mess too, which then possibly sends him back to Danaville.

Yeah the ayan storyline has no happy ending with what she's doing to him. I'm disliking her more and more. She's crossed the line IMO.

Yeah... blowing up an entire wedding party with a drone...right side of the line. Tricking a 21 year old kid into banging Claire Danes....way over the line. I'm pretty sure its a well known fact that sex has always been a huge tool in the espionage business.
