“I love your podcasts (Frank, Julian, Stephanie) and I think your insights are great, however, I need you to know that we listeners depend on you guys (after all there are 3 of you) to keep all of the facts straight and provide a window into anything we may have missed. Below are my thoughts on last night’s episode “Parabiosis”. But first I must back track, in the season one opener we find out that Saul and Carrie’s relationship is strained because Saul believes that Carrier tanked his bid to be director of the CIA. We can presumed that Carrie blew up Saul’s chances after she found out the Saul was aligned with Dar Adal on removing Haqqani (last season’s protagonist) from the “Kill” list. Dar made a deal with Haqqani and he told Saul he would put him on the short list for CIA director. Don’t forget that Allison planted the seed the Carrie leaked the CIA docs to Laura in Saul’s head, so right now rightly or wrongly Saul shuts Carrie down. This also leads me to believe whatever Dar’s position is within the U.S. Government, he outranks or is an equal to Saul in a parallel spy universe (officially or unofficially). We could presume that after Carrie torpedo Saul’s chances at becoming director that the powers that be decided to make Dar the CIA Director. Saul is head of the CIA’s Europe division. Dar is definitely not Saul’s subordinate in Season 5. . After last night episode (#6) it appears that Dar is calling all of the shots. Dar only puts people in placed that he thinks he can control. Who will Quinn turn to? Once he has sufficiently recovered, he will turn to Astrid and/or Saul and somehow reconnect with Carrie. Quinn has to know that Saul didn’t order the hit on Carrier or him. Hopefully he avoids Dar and Allison. Regarding Carrier relationship with her employer Otto, I don’t think they had bad relationship. Otto’s billionaire arrogance led him to believe that he was invincible and that the threat at the Syrian refugee camp was not that great. Hezbollah proved Carrie right when they attacked the group in Syria. He feels guilty that he pushed for the visit, thereby placing Carrie in the crosshair of her enemies. This is why he is doing everything possible to help Carrie out of the situation (flying Franny home, giving Carrie his plane and giving the thumb drive to Carrie). His opposition to American foreign policy and the CIA doesn’t make him a bad guy, it just makes him naïve. I think Otto knows that whatever Carrie and Saul are mixed up in he needs to wait to see how it plays out. Carrie loves Jonas as much as she can, however, her job has always been her first love. Jonas never stood a chance. They could end up together but only if Carrie can walk away from the CIA. Jonas like most civilians doesn’t know or understand the depth of what the CIA and other government’s agencies do in the name of protecting their respective countries. Saul stealing the documents and placing thumb drive in Otto’s coat was brilliant. The scenes between Saul and Dar where wonderful. It is amazing that Allison can manipulate seasoned CIA leaders so easily. I am surprised that Saul and Dar and have not picked up on Allison. Maybe they are play acting at being at each other’s throats in order to catch Allison? Keep up the good work!”

“I love the podcast but I could do without the long tangents. It gets frustrating because I'd like to hear about the Homeland not so much the political/historical/personal beliefs rants or at least cut them to half of what they are now!”

“I was glad to see that Nando was on this because he knows how to run a show. Quinn’s girlfriend’s name came up as Eden on closed captioning. The most interesting thing about Carrie’s seduction of Aayan last week (sounds like a perfume) was that little does he know that the person that destroyed...”Read full review »
