I was really mad that Carrie called Allison. Like NO YOU IDIOT SHE'S THE PROBLEM and Carrie is just all like "Please help me " You're hosed, Carrie.

Carrie's plot armour wouldn't take a scratch from a bunker buster. It will be fascinating to see what happens to the sniper who's about to take the shot at her in the preview clip.

I actually liked that touch, because Carrie has no idea Allison is the villain and has no reason to think so. It makes sense for her to do that.

I thought Allison was originally an SVR plant who rose up through the ranks of the CIA. Kind of surprised to learn that she was recruited/blackmailed into being a mole. There's going to be some serious cat and mouse between the Russians and Carrie now that Allison's cover has been blown. I wonder if she'll cooperate with Carrie or mount up behind the SVR.

Why did Nasari end up going to Banana Joe's if that whole plan was just to set up Alison to get her to work with the Russians? He could have gone anywhere after his death was faked

Honestly, I think once she got on board with the Russians and Nasari was already "dead" there was no tension between them, he was still into her, and she was feeling newly strong and free, so he tagged along on her trip for some quality time.

Mr. Gibbycrumbles posted:If Nasari was in on the Russian plot, then why would she want to spend any more quality time with him? She'd hate him at that point surely? He seemed like a reluctant part of the plan, and she seems to been successfully seduced by the money and promises of power that the Russians were offering. At that point (and the bar picture could have been taken at any point in the ten-year gap, really) it's reasonable to assume there was no bad blood on her part.

Allison isn't in the picture. Could be Nazari went by himself. He did get a ticket to St. Lucia from Allison

The preview for next week's episode majorly spoils Quinn's fate if you read between the lines. Also I think that whole situation feels really contrived. In fact this season in general depends way too much on crazy coincidences. Even the basic premise involves all the main characters randomly arriving in Berlin independently of each other.

holy poo poo this episode The sideplot with Quinn is very much a sideplot however, and it seems rather irrelevant to everything so far. But he's the only one who randomly arrived in Berlin as far as I can see?

I didn't see the preview for next week's episode, but I can't imagine Dar buying that line of garbage from Allison. That would be way too simple a play. There's got to be something more in the works. Fantastic episode.

This season has just gotten better and better, except for Quinn's narrative which by now is boring me to tears.

Yeah I like the spy craft and reading about its validity afterwards with that doctor fella who does in depth reviews on the wall street journal. It seems this season is pretty close to a plausible scenario in the American and European intelligence worlds.

After his exposure, Quinn becomes even more deadly with the ability to breathe pure Sarin gas on his terrorist enemies.

I would love to see a spin off mini series of Quinn's time in Syria doing the whole black ops thing. It would be cool to see an accurate depiction of intelligence gathering in a war zone, especially since it's the actual war going on right now in Syria.

I'm surprised that he hadn't seen the videos before, if he loathed Assad so much. There are, in fact, a lot of videos on youtube showing the results of the Ghouta attacks, nor are they hard to find.

Anyway , came here to post that I've been liking the season so far. The Quinn plotline is a bit meh, but the scenario is very cool because it's so close to current events. I wonder how well this season will age.

There's no way that line from Allison could fly. Wouldn't it be insanely easy to check what intelligence has flowed in what direction? How about the original stuff with the informant in Baghdad and how Carrie wasn't told the judge was trying to reach her?

I shall now only refer to him as Quinn Bauer due to his ability to fall into awful situations just by simply existing, much like Kim Bauer.

Well, I gather Carrie wasn't part of the CIA at that point and even on bad terms with Saul, so I don't see why she would have been contacted. It might actually be a more plausible story than you're making it out to be - didn't the Russian guy tell her he'd be sharing secrets with her too when he was trying to turn her?

He pitched it as a 'relationship' so she's definitely going to be able to point to some good info she's got from the Russians. But right off the bat, it's going to be obvious she was responsible for blowing up the Syrian's plane etc so it would go against everything we know about Dar Adal if he believes her.

The scene that shows Allison buying that $500 purse totally made me think she was gonna ditch the bugged purse in lieu of her newly acquired merchandise and it was going to gently caress everything up for Saul. I was pleasantly surprised that she didn't have Amazon Prime.
