Homeland

[lidlicker]

Big arguments in our house. Was Sol speaking Hebrew or Arabic in the room with all the dead? Is Sol a suspect ???

[Maydup]

I believed it to be Hebrew.

A bit too far fetched for it to be Arabic but I could be wrong.

[zebo]

I thought it was Hebrew too. Interesting concluding episode, lips are sealed!

[ABerrant]

Saul was reciting the Mourner's Kaddish.

I wondered the same thing, so it is Hebrew? I still don't trust him though! ;)

Did anyone else think it was a bit daft of Brodie and Carrie to run off? If he'd planted the bomb, he wouldn't have used his own car, and CCTV would have shown the car being moved - and whoever moved it.

Spoiler Alert













I thought about the CCTV, but then they would have to have been recording it off-site ...

Also how they would know so quickly that it was Brodie's car - not just the same make and model, but his actual car.

Hint on determining the language spoken - sometimes it tells you in the subtitles [#speaks Arabic]. I'll go back and watch later, but IMO Saul is solid. His wife, I'm not so sure ...

[naomi24]

Good point about the car - but bearing in mind the high security issues, I think it's likely that the CCTV would be recorded off-site. Funny how Saul's wife has suddenly surfaced again though .... mmm.... very suspicious.

I have problems hearing the dialogue on this programme, but I'm fairly sure he was speaking Hebrew.

Is Saul's wife in India or Pakistan? That would matter.

Could it have been Peter Quinn? Who else had access to the Brodie speech that was broadcast on the news.

[Sipowicz]

The sub titles don't specify which language!

[naomi24]

Tigger, I wondered that. Why didn't he shoot Brody? He was going to until he saw him praying.

[chrissa1]

I was wondering about Quinn too. Saul knew about the video, but he was at the scene of the bomb all the time, or seemed to be.

[chrissa1]

Quinn decided that he, (Quinn) wasn't a murderer and that he killed "bad guys". Brody had fulfilled his part of the bargain and didn't deserve to be killed. I think :/

[tiggerblue10]

Who else knew the bomb vest was in the car? Or was it another bomb? And just before Nazir was shot, did he touch something on his chest?

[chrissa1]

What's that got to do with the bomb that went off a couple of days later tigger?

[tiggerblue10]

I'm just wondering Chrissa, thats all.

[naomi24]

Tigger, //Quinn decided that he, (Quinn) wasn't a murderer and that he killed "bad guys". //

He said that, but why once he knew Brody was Muslim did he suddenly decide he wasn't a 'bad guy'? All very strange.

[rockyracoon]

Hmmm, never thought of the Quinn angle. I was thinking I might not bother with series 3, but I think it has the potential to be very good. Brodie could still have planted the bomb and got someone to move his car, he nodded to Carrie to meet just before it went off.

I think Saul's wife went to India, not Pakistan.

> Quinn decided that he, (Quinn) wasn't a murderer and that he killed "bad guys". Brody had fulfilled his part of the bargain and didn't deserve to be killed. I think :/

Precisely. Quinn was having doubts about killing Brody even at the end of the previous episode. It wasn't just because he saw him praying that he stopped. Quinn's a good guy.

> Who else knew the bomb vest was in the car? Or was it another bomb?

I suspect it was another bomb, on the grounds that no sane person drives around with that much explosive in their car for months. Also with the places he was visiting, you'd think his car would be regularly checked for explosives (e.g. by sniffer dogs). Also the bomb seemed way too big for a vest bomb - not that I'm an expert in these matters, but when you hear of such atrocities on the news, car bombs can kill on the scale of the attack last night, whereas vest bombs seem to kill on a smaller scale. (Lovely topic for Christmas Eve!)

> And just before Nazir was shot, did he touch something on his chest?

He reached inside his clothing in order to get himself shot. It was a means of avoiding being captured alive. He knew they'd have to shoot him if he made as if to reach for a weapon or a bomb trigger.
