I hope Damien Lewis gets an Emmy nomination. He totally deserves it.

Brianna Brown's character got killed off. :( But I had a feeling that was going to happen. At least I got my one nude/sex scene. LOL Man, she's' so gorgeous. :wub:

I hope we find out soon what the terrorist plot is.

One of these should work. The second one is the same type I found Camelot on. The first one is new to me.

When Saul did his first lie detector test, he failed on the question of if he gave the razor to the guy, but he "wasn't calm" so they didn't take it seriously. I wonder if that's just a red herring though.

I had a feeling Brody already knew about his wife and his best friend sleeping with each other.

So why did Carrie tell Brody about what lie detector test was all about? Did she know he was going to pass it? Did she sleep with Brody on purpose and that's why she told the lie detector guy to ask Brody if he's ever cheated on his wife?

I don't think Carrie slept with Brody with the poly in mind, but I do think she was honey trapping him. Sleeping with him as a means of keeping him close and getting info. I think she told the guy to ask that question because he passed the "did you give the razor to the terrorist question". She didn't believe the result. She was hoping he would lie about being a cheater too and pass, which proves he's been trained to beat the poly or at least strongly suggests it.

Saul failing the poly is interesting. It does raise some questions. The show sort of brushed it off, with Saul's comments about how they've both failed at times so Brody couldn't beat it either (but we know he did), but it seems possible to me that Saul gave him the razor. I hope not, but I'm not ruling it out.

I don't believe Saul is a terrorist, but he may have wanted to help Hamid (sp) die for some other reason. Something we don't know yet. Probably not, though. I do think their could be some sort of final twist though that least Brody to being innocent. What is the evidence against him? Here's what I've seen so far:

1) Carrie's intel saying a prison of war has been turned

2) Hiding the fact that he's converted to Islam/Converting to Islam while a POW

3) Putting on a hero act for the press like Saul said a guilty person would

4)Asking to be in the room with Hamid

5)Hooking up with Carrie without confronting her about why she made contact with him. He can't possibly believe her lame chance meeting story.

6) Beating the poly.

7) The fact that an operation is going down just when he has been released back to the States.

8) Lying about having meet Nazir/possibly killing his fellow POW

What am I forgetting?

Woah!!!!! I was surprised that Walker was revealed to be the converted terrorist in episode 7, but episode 8's ending was shocking! So Brody was in on it afterall????!!!! ohmy.png And if he's really been turned, then next season will probably have him running for Congress. Could you imagine a Congressman being a terrorist!? That would be interesting to watch.

Ah, so that's why Brody said he "loved Abu Nazir" and why he "turned" - he built a father/son like relationship with Abu Nazir's son who was killed by a drone that belonged to the US, and then the Vice President lying about no children being harm. There's probably more too.

So this terrorist plot seems to have two aspects: the long term plan with Brody running for Congress, and short term plan with Walker possibility assassinating the President.

I bet this was a set up in some way. I'm not sure how. Either the child wasn't Abu Nazir's child or the child isn't dead and it was all implanted in Brody's mind somehow. I just can't quite buy that Nazir allowed Brody to get close to that child without it all leading to furthering the plan.

I suspected that Walker might be alive and might be the terrorist. I figured that would be how Brody ended up being innocent all along, after Carrie violated his civil rights in every possible way. I never imagined they had both been turned. That was a good twist.

Is Abu Nazir an alias for Stefano Dimera? :lol: But I agree, it's possible. I hope the kid is dead (okay, that sounds mean LOL) because we already had two fake deaths (Brody and Walker) and because the kid's death actually means something to Brody - I would hate to see a false motive.

    • the famous babyswitch. the best babyswitch imo
    • Yes, it has. It was seen in the episodes when Dani broke into the house while Hayley and Bill were on their honeymoon. Dani and a Fairmont Crest security guard were also shown outside the house's entrance. Bill and Hayley were seen in the foyer when they returned. I imagine the set will resurface when there's a need for it.
    • There is some kind of arrangement going on between Justin and Evie, who seems to be caring for Sam. I'm not sure, but she may even be living there with Justin and Phillip. Phillip inviting Evie at least makes a little more sense (if the guest list was limited to women Vanessa liked, it would've only consisted of Trish and Helena. lol)  Maybe it was more common to hang on to performers, back in the day? Instead of immediately kicking them to the curb? Evie hadn't had much to do after Chet was revealed to be her stalker. With Rita, Jackie and Ben gone, there weren't many on the canvas she'd really worked with, other than Ross. They could've pivoted her back to Ross, instead of letting him languish love-less for nearly a year other than goo-goo eyeing Amanda. Nowadays, there might've been a moment written Jordan and Janet, an eye-wink to the audience about them having previously worked together.
    • I 100% agree that Bill and Haley's set would work better as a bedroom. I also think it might have made more sense to give them a penthouse instead of a mansion. Realistically they aren't going to have the room for multiple mansions, even with the larger studios. A more open concept penthouse would've been fine. I also wish more people lived together. The age confusion kinda messes that up but I would at least have Chelsea living with Dani. If Martin were Anita and Vernon's child (as he should be), I'd have these families living together as well. By doing that, the space used for Martin and Smitty's house could be used to build a dining room for the Dupree home and I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to throw a couple bedrooms in as needed.
    • CBS primetime was such a mess in the 1990s. 1990/91 fourth consecutive third place finish. 1991/92 to 1993/94 some signs of life but it didn't last.  1994/95 to 1999/2000 another primetime mess era. 1995 the sale to Westinghouse and Les Moonves arrived. The only bright spots were Touched by an Angel becoming a Top 10 show and Everybody Loves Raymond starting to show growth. CBS primetime would have a comeback in 2000 with the premieres of Survivor and CSI and Everybody Loves Raymond becoming a Top 10 show, and the rest is history.
    •  Thanks! For some reason I had misremembered ER and Chicago Hope going directly head to head but that may have been because of the hype about both shows.    Poor Connie Chung. She seem poised for success and possibly the next Barbara Walters. I don’t recall her co-anchor gig on the CBS Evening News was well received though. She kind of tanked her career moving into more a tabloid journalist role once at ABC and especially once she moved off network TV to CNN and later more infamously on MSNBC.

    • Strangely, it was Phillip who invited Evie to go to the ball with him. She had been taking care of Samantha, so I guess it was a way to thank her for helping Justin after Jackie's death? So she was not invited by Vanessa. Phillip brought her as his plus one. That Evie stayed on the canvas so long is extremely odd, especially since Ben was gone way before her. My theory is Marland was going to bring Rita back, so they wanted Evie to remain in place as her sounding board. When he left and Potter was still EP, that might have still been the plan. Once Kobe came in, that would have been thrown in the dumpster along with a lot of other story plans and characters.
    • Nina and Portia are generally presented as entirely too savvy to not think this ketamine (don't even GET me started on that) nonsense wouldn't immediately blow up in their face. Drew, the ex-navy seal and congressman, wouldn't get a drug test immediately after acting wildly out of character? Portia allowed this to so easily be traced back to her by roping in Brad, a man who can't stand her? Nina didn't think Willow would Stand By Her Man? Girl, PAY ATTENTION! I also find it disturbing how BOTH of them are gaslighting Willow. It feels gross. They should have presented Gio as anything other than a responsible, genial and affable guy if they wanted us to buy any of Dante's ranting about him. You've known this kid since he was a baby and suddenly you're yelling at him like he's the devil incarnate? It was so forced. Every one of them, including Dante, know that they all would have done the same thing in Gio's shoes. Teen gets drunk, friends cover for them. Gio's only 5 years older than him, barely allowed to legally drink himself. How was he to know the kid had alcohol poisoning? Alexa Havins crying every day over keeping a baby secret. Ahh memories. Molly and Kristina are just the worst to their mom and Alexis allows it. Kristina does need to be committed, she's a danger to herself and others. I wish Alexis would just tell her that she knows. I can't wait until Molly finds out about her almost getting Ric and Liz killed. I need her to body slam Kristina. Sasha thinks she knows EVERYTHING. She's always giving advice and painted as right no matter what. And so holier than thou while carrying a married man's baby.
    • Correction, Chicago Hope 1994/95 was initially Thursday 9 pm, a CBS dead zone and head-to-head w/ Seinfeld. 1994/95 CBS Thursday 10 pm initially was Eye to Eye with Connie Chung. Later in the season CBS did a scheduling shift with Chicago Hope moving to Monday 10 pm, Eye to Eye with Connie Chung moving to Thursday 9 pm, and 48 Hours moving from Wednesday 10 pm to Thursday 10 pm.
