It’s getting more and more difficult to maintain this blog. DX3.10 Good NightWell. Shit.They’re sure not taking their time with this Op - the writers I mean. Last week they breezed through Brody’s recovery from heroin addiction. Now this week they dragged Brody across the Iranian border and by the end of the episode, Javadi was already pointing a gun to his head. About time they picked up the pace.The road to the Iranian border was pretty rocky though. Quite literally too. First this random truck forced them to go with the alternate route. Then a couple of Iraqi officers spotted them and started asking questions. Of course they had no choice but to terminate them because Brody’s face is recognizable nowadays. Brody had a little stage fright right there, good thing someone had reminded him that they were all pants-shittingly scared but that’s the job and that’s the job they have to do.And then, when he was being driven to the border, their truck hit a land mine or something and they pretty much blew up. Miraculously though, no one died and Brody had to drag his driver away from the wreckage because the explosion caught the attention of the rest of the Iraqi patrol. The rest of the team hauled ass to get to Brody and the people back on US soil pulled the plug, ordering the Ops Team to abort the mission.Brody, being the stubborn ass that he is, refused to go back and practically ran into a sci-fi looking war zone with green lasers and everything. Not even Carrie could talk him out of his suicide mission. (Hey Claire Danes was great here. It’s not easy to do that with no one to play off of) One of the other team members ran after him but before they could really do anything, floodlights blinded all of us. Uh-oh.At this point, Saul already left the room, heartbroken that all his hard work over the past few months blew up in his face. His lucky gum did not help him this time around. But little did he know that the people who caught Brody and company were actually the Iranians! :O They made it across the border after all! Brody gave him his cover story about being the Langley bomber and seeking asylum in Iran. The Iranians apprehended them and waited for further instructions.Carrie and the rest of the CIA are blind and deaf to the still alive operation though. They lost their eyes and ears and have no real way of communicating with their assets. More than that, they have no extraction plan for them. Which brings Fara back to the picture: Carrie out of nowhere asked her to arrange a safe house in Iran. In other words, talk to his uncle and ask him to risk his life and harbor a couple of fugitives. Fara, who had a hard time with letting Javadi go after he killed two people. Fara, who called in sick because she couldn’t deal with how the CIA went about some of its business. But she’s an American and Carrie made a convincing case and she found herself not really agreeing but not really refusing either.Meanwhile, Javadi welcomed Brody with a gun to his head. He made to take Brody to the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard but not before killing Brody’s friend. Brody was upset by that and wisely calmed down. He still had a mission to finish. Not sure if Javadi can be trusted at this point. The CIA needs him to climb up the ladder and as has been evidenced by the events in this episode, the agency is willing to sacrifice almost anything to get him there. So if Javadi kills Brody in Iran, I doubt the CIA would expose his embezzling ways. Carrie might, but she’d be the only one and the agency can always play the Insanity card.So Carrie and Saul and Dar are happy in Langley, their asset still in play. Brody is not so happy in Iran because he’s about to kill a very powerful man and somehow get away with it. Quinn I have no idea because he did very little. Come on, he’s upped to regular status but is somehow doing less vs last season. He knows about Carrie’s pregnancy (to which she said Brody wasn’t the father and I don’t really believe her), and was super cute with how he wanted to apologize about the whole sniping her at the shoulder. He smiled when they confirmed Brody was in Iranian custody and also vouched for Carrie when she attempted to talk Brody out of running though gunfire. But right now, he’s in the sidelines. Why wasn’t he part of the Op anyway? I hope they have better things in store for him. He’s, like, the best part of the show for me. XDTwo episodes to go. Will Brody survive this? Will Carrie clear his name? Will Dana go back to being a Brody? I like the direction the show had taken. So for those that jumped ship after the first four episodes are missing out on some genuinely entertaining stuff. Their loss. -- source link
