Somehow that didn't convince me that this subplot is less stupid.

I am not under the assumption that Carrie forgot *anything* that happened to her during season 1. There is a high risk for memory loss, I guess. But it's not certain, I understand?

Just like most people?

I have trouble believing Brody was really broken, either. But if he isn't, that episode with the tailor was even more of a waste…because I took it that it was meant to be a setup for the following two episodes, showing Brody getting increasingly desperate and haunted. Still, all this time I was thinking, "This

That line is open to interpretation. On the paper, it's impossible to say. You would have to see how it was acted. Sadly, I don't exactly recall. I walked away from it thinking along the lines of Todd's interpretation, although not as strongly. 
I thought Carrie was talking about motivation, which is quite different

I agree on both points. And quite shocked that Todd apparently missed the latter. Seeing as they made a point to spell it out for us. Which, by the way, I think was necessary to do in that instance. You can't leave that without comment as it remains too ambiguous. I was initially confused if the show plays this as a

A few episodes into the season? It's only 12 episodes. We are almost at half-way point. They could drag it out a lot more, sure. I think, maybe they should have. The episode with the tailor was "necessary" to put Brody in distress. So much this season seems to be dictated by plot, unfortunately.

Yeah, Patinkin got a thankless role all of a sudden. Not sure I like where they are going with him. Same with Baccarin. Also starting to dislike her, because her actions are obviously driven by plot rather than by motivation. It's always a problem when you start to notice things like that.

Sorry, but I don't quite understand the relevance of that scene. Other than give Danes  more screen-time. That was unnecessary, if you ask me.

It's probably inevitable, since both showrunners worked on 24 and I think they also got writers from that show on their crew. My personal theory is that the outrageous "shocking" twist stuff is more Gordon's fault, though.

Brody buried it in the yard, because it was desecrated by mistreating it.
