[pugz]

let's discuss

[pugz]

so Carrie is now 15 weeks pregnant and nobody knows. I was really surprised she didn't tell Saul or Brody.

this whole plan of Saul's is straight crazycakes

[pugz]

oh also, major lack of hot Quinn in this episode

[ECB]

I'm not surprised carrie didn't tell him. It's too soon/ things are too crazy to throw that in the mix. He's going away w/ enough on his shoulders - he doesn't need that thrown at him too (although I wonder if she tells him next week so he doesn't do anything crazy - there was a cut in the previews where I felt like that could happen).

Dana. Ugh. Yeah- we didn't need all that build up, ESPECIALLY w/ Leo, for that scene.

Plot point that bugs me - he's basically in solitaire and a junkie. WHO WAS STILL SHAVING HIS HEAD!?!?!? He should have had more hair!

[ECB]

Oh, and yes, Saul's plan is TOTALLY crazy cakes. I'm not sure why he's putting so much trust into his asset. I see that blowing up in his face.

[pugz]

Omg i wondered about the hair too lolol

Perhaps pedo doctor?

You mean shaving his head? I just think it was an overlooked plot point. He was basically in a cage - unshowered, pissing and shitting himself... they aren't going to go in and shave his head.

The timeline. Yea. I'd love to see if they (the writers) have a real timeline they are working off of!

[rosiedozie]

I'm not surprised that she didn't tell him - he had enough on his plate! And I think that she is still probably trying to figure out wtf she wants to do about it.

[ECB]

In thinking about it more, we've all convinced ourselves that "of course" it's Brody's baby. Big picture, we think that will give us more STORY.

But - it could be that the random guy that she slept with is the father. And the reason she's so detached/unemotional about it is because it's not Brody's.....

Just a thought.

[egishere]

I loved all the hot special forces (?) guys that were taking care and training with Brody...yum!
I loved how Lockhart easily went along with Saul's plan.

[lindsaymg]

The CIA has full access to Carrie's treatment and medical care but nobody has done a blood test that shows she is pregnant? Come on. I think Saul may know and will wait to confront her with it to use it to his advantage.

[lindsaymg]

And totally agree about the hot special ops guys. Yum.

[PatBenatar]

I just watched this week's ep and I'm really sad that they killed off the hot special ops guy

Me too.  He was very Gerard Butler-esque.

I thought he survived but just lost a leg

[pugz]

oh nevermind the other guy, sorry

Just a thought.

In that case, though, wouldn't she abort the second she found out, without a second thought about it [if the rando was the father]?

It just makes nooo sense for the baby not to be Brody's.

Ultimately I agree with you - it doesn't make sense.   But we don't know her stance on abortion.
