Yes, one of the better episodes I thought. I was surprised by the ending, I was expecting that to be Tom although I was pretty certain Brody was working for the terrorists. With him saying I'm out it does change it into a will he/won't he, rather than a is he/isn't he. I hope it doesn't go all Sylar (heros).
Spot on, I think you're right. Well anyway, me and those who are watching it at home have a theory as to who the mole in Washington is..

Well my original theory is shot. I didn't think they could keep interest high after revealing the dead one wasn't dead, but then ging had his little meeting.
It certainly has picked up recently and turned from a show that I watch over my laptop into a show where I sort of move the laptop.biggrin

Hmmm...

I thought it started well - very well, then petered out somewhat mid way through. There were a few fairly slow episodes, in my view. I watched the last three episodes of the series on Sunday evening. Will discuss when everyone up to date!

Just finished watching the full series - enjoyed it!

It did go a little slow through the middle but some good twists and turns and a cliffhanger at the end.

Will be interesting to see what happens in the next series!

My Sky + box threw a fit last night and didn't record anything. Is this repeated by CH 4 at any time.

I enjoyed the first series but at the same time didn't like the ending.

I hope they don't drag it out.

Of course they'll drag it out. The whole second series is going to be

Carrie doing "Private CIA" with Ray out of Due South doing jobs that aren't really official for Saul that will eventually result in the CIA mole being discovered somewhere around episode 8. Brody will become a congressman and will somehow or other get close to the president at an event, possibly the State of the Union address. Carrie will save the day, and this time everyone will realise, with Estes grudgingly giving her her job back.

I think. wink

Sadly, I think that's it for Carrie. And her wobbly chin.


(Actually, I watch hardly any TV, and this is the first series I've watched from beginning to end in ages. I think Brodie's daughter will be pivotal next time round...)

What did she ask Saul near the end of the episode? When he went to see her before the electric shock treatment started, she said something like "Do you think there's any chance ...[something]... terminated?", to which he bluntly replied "No". I cleared my throat or something at the wrong time and didn't hear what was said.

She asked if she could appeal her termination. I think Saul's 'no' answer was confirmation that her only future laid in the shock treatment. And, hell, what a last line she got... Who would believe her, now, as a civilian with severe mental health issues, even if she could remember afterwards?

Disappointing ending.
So many massive plot holes and inconsistancies throughout the whole thing it annoyed me but for some reason I kept watching.

Saul didn't want her to have that treatment. I think he said no as not to give her false hope and wait to see if she was strong enough to stop it, he could have said yes to help her more.

Watched it all now. What an ace ending, loved it. Was rather fitting and much better than I was expecting. Glad that Brody sorted out his partner at the end.biggrin

I notice in the credits it is based on an Israeli show called Prisoners of War.

Prisoners of War starts on Sky Arts 1 this Thursday at 9.30.
I had already sky plussed it.smile
