Akbari is an expert in reading people. By actually telling the truth, Brody could be believed. Plus, Akbari may have noticed small problems with Javardi, because he actually is a CIA asset.
I think he intended to kill him, but it was interesting for Brody to feel what it would feel like to betray the CIA.

Remember when Brody said he's only doing this because he has faith that Carrie will get him out? It's doubtful Brody would do his job without Carrie being in town. Saul had no choice.

Quin will feel the repercussions. I'm calling it.

Unfortunately, Quinn's death would be a perfect example.

It's like a surgeon always suggests surgery and a druggist will suggest drugs. Saul will think the solution to every problem is a highly placed asset and assassination.

But she's the only one who could have got Brody to train for this mission and Brody probably wouldn't have gone through with the assassination without knowing Carrie was in town.
People are so filled with hate they don't watch with the same faith that other shows get. Even if the show pulled off the first act of this…

I find if I watch this show with more generosity, I do find clues that back up the plot. I'm getting pretty sick of so many picking out flaws without looking for clues. Especially when we know how much this show likes to explain later what seemed puzzling at the time.

That's not what begging the question means.

@avclub-2b4da655d7cee9a149406da930671ae9:disqus A missing birthday episode is exactly the kind of thing we see all the time in sitcoms that have wide appeal. Do only kids have birthdays? I'm not sure what your point is. You are still pointing out a distinction without a difference.

It's plausible because of Hank's career. But what is really genius is that it only has to be plausible for a huge investigation of Hank to happen. Even if Hank ends up being cleared, he'll have his life ruined in the meantime. Even if no one believes he did it, they'll still have to treat him like they do.

We're actually just fascinated by all the experts that think they are special for reading these books. You obviously aren't just here to check what's going on, because that doesn't involve posting. You think you are adding something, but I'll be damned if I know what.

It's really interesting that this is a popularly read book series, with many other forums dedicated to all the red wedding talk you could ever want, but so many people felt like they just had to tell us about it.

Go away.

@avclub-9ce04591654645426079a7c2faa385e4:disqus That's exactly the kind of, not really a spoiler but still a spoiler, that I dislike the experts coming here and giving.

Except that we have to watch it week after week. If they want to turn this show into a torture flick, just let me know to stop watching.

But @avclub-395d48b53a6796700e3dd3cc47ed692f:disqus 's point still stands that calling rape a rape is a good thing we…

It's something I love about Drag Race. That last dace off really adds a lot of fairness.

Tom has his head too far up his ass to actually do work anymore. He's so successful he can intuit what went on, he doesn't actually need to do work.

Everyone sees you as a target Josie? Maybe because you have a large obnoxious headband with your name on it. You can't wear that and then wonder why people won't ignore you. Damn persecution complexes.  She's probably thinks there's a war on Christmas, too.

The judges almost figured it out by themselves. They figured out the broth was supposed to be different, not just there not being enough. They knew it was the lack of gelatin, They knew Kristen had to change at the last minute. It was like watching Gail as Poirot. I really thought they would figure it out. All it…
