CODChimera posted:Holy poo poo. They will, but anybody who complains has forgotten how to watch TV. That was a landmark loving episode. There are very few series where I have ever felt the kind of dread I did at the ending there. The prisoner exchange was masterfully done as well. What a monstrous cliffhanger to chew on for two weeks. Oof

n3wt posted:I'm looking forward to the moment when pakistani Carrie realizes that she's working for people who'd never let her keep her job, let alone give her any respect (Handover your gun, here's your burka! Now shut up and go breed!). That's actually a good point. Who knows what her angle is. It probably involves the main General getting ousted/killed off somehow so she can step into the power vacuum. Anyway, really glad this season has ratcheted things up a notch or nine.

Yeah this latest episode was awesome. Like everyone else I hope Quinn goes bonkers and kills everyone. Last night I had a dream about helping Quinn fight the bad guys in the embassy. I basically stood around and watched and/or hid out of sight while Quinn owned it up ![]()

I hope the embassy invasion doesn't get too 24-ish, but this season has been cool so far

This may seem super obvious but my crew friend said that the pakistani carrie character was made super similar to carrie, deliberately. I want to know how she'll figure into the end of this season.

I mean there's the woman who gave Duck the drugs to put in her meds. And then there's the Pakistani guy Carrie is in contact with. I'm not sure which one is supposed to be the "Carrie character" but neither one remotely reminds me of Carrie.

Maybe Claire Danes puts on brownface and plays a Pakistani in the last episode. She fights herself. Quinn has to choose which one to shoot.

Above posts had to be sarcastic, right? Really only one possible person who is Pakistani Carrie. Really hoping this season ends strong, as it started off pretty weak but everything is falling into place now and it's been several weeks now of awesome episodes. So curious what the end goal is for the Pakistanis here. Also wanna see how involved the characters we've already seen are. Haqqani has to be talking to some people inside Pakistan's government, right? Also wondering if the "It's called TREASON!" line comes back to bite Lockheart/Carrie later in the season. I mean, she's kinda in bed with him since she blackmailed him to get her job in Islamabad back.

So...him going back to America, starting dating that one girl again, and when the bros mock her for her weight/appearance he snaps and heads to their frat house and burns it down, killing anyone who tries to escape it via hand to hand combat?

What's the over/under on Quinn's K:D ratio next ep? I'm assuming they are going to kill off like half the cast because this show is crazy.

Ugh, part of me doesn't want the CIA to kill everyone coming in to the embassy because that's what this show would do. But then I realized it was telegraphed with Quinn staying behind that it won't be as bad ![]()

Pryor on Fire posted:What's the over/under on Quinn's K:D ratio next ep? I'm assuming they are going to kill off like half the cast because this show is crazy. He'll kill every Taleban except Haqqani who will be superficially wounded before escaping. Quinn will also be wounded, more so than Haqqani. Haqqani will kill the embassador, possibly Lockheart. Duck will survive unharmed to contemplate the consequences of his betrayal, likely due to being stuck in a cell or urged by his wife to hide somewhere. Carrie & Saul will be MIA or in comas to milk the cliffhanger for another episode.

But then I realized it was telegraphed with Quinn staying behind that it won't be as bad If the show continues its trend, Haqqani will take the CIA head hostage, execute some of the low level staff we've seen, and make some insane demands of the US. Quinn will either be killed, or pull a John McClane and scurry through the vents slowly taking out the terrorists.

This episode was really good. But I can't help but think how absurd it is. Pakistani intelligence is really so dumb to let talebani sneak into the embassy , or gently caress up a prisoner exchange so blatantly? they surely know tha the embassy is US territory and that talebani are fair game for the marines in there? Unless they're playing the "pakistani government knew nothing about it and were played by infiltrated jihad agents who trainwrecked the whole deal" card

Lasagna posted:This episode was really good. But I can't help but think how absurd it is. Maybe they just hate the taleybaney more than the CIA, and know that a US embassy with the head of the CIA in it getting blown the gently caress up would've basically given the US carte blanche to glass the entire taliban mountain region. But yes, the ISI blatantly working as cohorts to taliban would've atleast garnered some US support to Indian nuclear weapons programs. When Lockheart announced the aid package withdrawal during the meeting with the diplomats, I was really hoping he'd say "We'll rescind your billion dollar aid package... and transfer it to India!"

Having just binge watched 5 episodes to catch up, I have to wonder if some ridiculously complicated double cross or long con is coming. The fact that they've teased a big invasion by Haqqani makes me think that part will be a wet fart or he'll be setup to fail. They'll have a token shootout where the US forces will valiantly hold them out and just when they are about to break, the cavalry comes through the tunnel from behind and wipes out Haqqani & Co. Not sure whether that will be Marines coming back to the site, Pakistani forces that were tipped off by ISI, or Uncle Mike pulling up in his 2010 Camaro.

They've set Quinn up pretty good to go out in a blaze of glory, which might mean it's not gonna happen knowing this show.
