I'm really enjoying this series after last seasons disappointment. Like a lot of people wondered if it could work after killing off one of the leads, but also wondered after he'd been rumbled how it was feasible for Brodie to remain in the show.

I'd quite happily see Carrie get dropped and have a more Quinn focused show for at least a series.

Frakin' Quinn reminds me of that WW1 veteran killing machine from Boardwalk Empire series 1-4.

There's only one thing that has annoyed me about the last episode and its indicative of thousands of tv shows and films.

Quinn and the marine shoot the four guys then go after potentially tens of other terrorists yet do they pick up the four machine guns? Noooo lets keep going with our little pistols.

Yes they probably know those handguns better, but it certainly wouldn't do any harm to have a machine gun or two in a firefight.
same thing annoys me in films, but handguns much better in tight interior spaces?

Just watched it as well. I cheered when speccy tech bloke pulled a pistol off a dead jizzlamist and sent AK toting mullah to his boy virgins and I cheered even louder when Quin said "Fekin' Drive" to the big grease ball . He'll be screaming for his mama soon hehe
I was watching from between my fingers as they executed the hostages and then when Quinn, soldier boy and speccy took most of them out I was almost on my feet cheering!
It's bloody good TV. I like Quinn, tougher than Jack Bauer and gives a st too!

I'm loving this series, far more than the previous one which just dragged on and was pretty boring.

I think the fact that Brody is no more also helps as you are seeing alot more of the other characters, it is all the better that it isn't just centred around one person now.

Well over here in Ireland we get the episodes that are 1 behind the USA so 1 ahead of the UK. Could try the RTE player but it might pull a not available in your country thingy.

Exactly. Just like the weak security on the 'secret' back door that all US embassy obviously have.
come on, it had no CCTV or guards but it had a padlock rolleyes

A single padlock under the building? No CCTV? No trip switches? Really?
I take it you chaps didn't see the terrorists holding the dead guard's head up to the iris recognition camera on the security door at the end of the 'secret' passageway? Then dropping him once the door unlocked.

It's still pretty poor security, but a fair sight more better than a single padlock.

It's not terribly legal so I don't think you're going to get any straight answers on an open forum like this. It's not rocket science though. Ever heard of torrents? From what I understand, it's a very good distributed file transfer protocol. Unrelated, of course...

Just one episode to go.

I wonder if they'll give more screen time to Art Malik.

US anti-terrorism just isn't what it used to be...

Top film! But there would be no series if Arnie could just turn up in a Harrier jump-jet. laugh
