Yes, and that may suggest that she doesn't want to be pregnant, or that people who are bipolar and under lots of stress may not always make good life choices.

Um, ok? I want a cool spy story, too. I am trying to separate the likelihood of Carrie being pregnant with whether or not I like it. I don't like it, but I don't think it's unlikely.

Beneath the show? I'd be willing to entertain that argument. But I don't think it makes no sense. She'd be what—4 months pregnant? That's very plausible, though whether or not you like it is a different matter.

Women get pregnant. Both of the show's lead females were pregnant in real life within the last year, so having a character (especially a character who's promiscuity is part of her narrative arc) be pregnant isn't quite ridiculously insane. It may be one too many balls flying around in this show's universe, but it's by…

And the beard, duh.

I'm on the opposite side, wondering why Mira sticks around.

The New Yorker had a profile of Dr. Luke recently, and the story mentioned how lyrics-focused Katy Perry is. Surprised me! Her lyrics are embarrassingly awful.

The comments are really bringing me down this week. Why can't we all just get along and agree that Homeland is on the upward trajectory after last season???

Late to the party, indeed. This was covered at length in last week's discussion. The scenes are written, directed, and acted in a way that allows this double meaning to come through. Plenty of us think it makes sense.

At the end of last week's episode, Carrie tells Saul that he should have gotten her out sooner—he shouldn't have left her in the hospital so long. My mental health is more stable than Carrie's, and I would lose my shit if I were locked in a hospital for a month, even if it is the long game. The scene where she bangs…

I think the Mira thing might show that Saul has nothing left to lose—his potential promotion fell through, and his wife is cheating on him. For me, it helps explain why he seems menacing to Quinn on the phone about Carrie always being on her own. That mission is pretty much the only win Saul can get right now, so he's…

Saul just lost a promotion and walked in on his wife having a candle-lit dinner with another man. I think those things affected his response, which may not have been as evil-seeming if he weren't on a Jacksonville-level losing streak.

I think it's interesting that Peter is one of Dar Adal's guys, and Dar is being kept outside this mission (and being used to further the mission, by having him go after Carrie). I don't know if it's significant, or if it means anything at all, but I think it makes the situation a bit more complex than if Quinn were…

I understand the skepticism some fans have of last week's twist—especially that it was hatched immediately after the bombing. However, I don't think a plan hatched post-lawyer visit would be credible. Can you imagine the fan backlash of the CIA again allowing a post-breakdown Carrie into its most critical mission?…

I am similarly confused. I assumed the surveillance Quinn/Carrie/Saul are focused on was from the Iranians or their affiliates, not the CIA. It wouldn't seem like the risk of Carrie blowing her cover for the CIA would necessarily compromise the mission (though I understand how it possibly could—just doesn't seem as…

Morena Bacccarin is giving Claire Danes' crying face a run for its money.

I'm not convinced she has limited range. We've seen enough of her in skits in years past that I don't think that's the problem.

I feel like we've seen that kid from Pedrad before—the tone and quirks reminded me of the girl who is her dad's biggest fan and is awkward at parties. I prefer Pedrad as the straight character to McKinnon's crazy-eyed women (and I'm a fan of McKinnon). I don't get why Pedrad is so underutilized.

He sounded a lot like Murphy in the 12 Days sketch. I feel like we see such limited glimpses of him in non-impression roles that I don't really have a sense of who he is as a sketch actor on his own.

No shame! We like to give TWD shit for making their black male characters one-dimensional and interchangeable, but that's true of almost all non-Rick & Co characters.
