What does it say about Callum Keith Rennie's career that he's playing this pussy of a suburban would-be dad who's just a plot distraction? I've just been watching him in old Da Vinci's Inquest episodes as a semi-interesting sex crimes expert. Maybe they could get Chris Haddock in to perform CPR on this mess - also

So what are we supposed to do now….until Season 2?   Bummed in Boston.

After the finale I'd be interested to learn about the Israeli mini-series on which Homlend is based. Presumably for Season 2 the writers will be on their own coming up with a way to extend the surviving characters into another narrative arc….but it will so SO LONG from now!  Guess I'll have to break down and watch

Things are going to have to come together damn fast in the next two episodes.  Do you think once the show was renewed they revised the ending to stretch the denouement into next season, a la The Killing? We know for sure that Brody's coming back so there has to some kind of trajectory for him.

It seemed to me - and perhaps to Brody - that the kid was unbelievably fluent after a short time of tutoring.  Brody said it was great, but in a way that I thought masked some inkling that he is being played by Nazir and the kid. Like, Isa already knew English and this whole tutoring thing was ruse.

Does the DC area have an equivalent of the Cal-Trans camera data that Chloe used to save Jack's bacon innumerable times?  Just wondering….

Yes, and why did he arouse Dan's suspicion in the first place by showing off his sniper skills?  You just don't do that….

"Lies" on the floor, please, dude. 
Yeah, I think Saul is out as a mole, and now I'm wondering if this possible health problem, his world-weariness, his heartbreak etc. aren't leading to him dying as a part of the final twist. After doing something heroic, I hope.  Wonder if Patinkin is working on a one-season

I think the opposite - Brody is going to kill Walker - for real this time.

I agree that the Isa/Nazir thing "stinks to high heaven," to quote Maude re Bunny's supposed kidnaping in "The Big Lebowski."  Brody's reaction to the kid reading English fluently was so prolonged and intense you could almost see the wheels turning in his head - and I'm sure this will come up again. Plus it appeared

I like how she cocks her head from side to side, like a curious bird with those intense, beady eyes….

Re Faisal - Some have commented that his story line is very "24" - which it is. And, in fact, I feel like that actor who plays him was a kind of sympathetic, sensitive Muslim terrorist on "24" - anyone know if that's why he looks familiar?

Newbie here, been lurking since Day One. Love the show, agree with everything commenters say - hahaha. This means the writers so far have been doing a good job with ambiguity - unlike, for instance, the crazy-ass red herrings "The Killing" writers doled out.
On a minor point - Does anyone else think something's up
