Yea that scene, while well acted, was still unintentionally hilarious.
Carrie's cry face has some new competition.
We need a gif of that scene, too.

This Dana storyline would be much more palatable if it was a season 2 thing with a dead Brody.

What the. I don't even.
I am strictly talking about the crying face. Try crying when you know you cant make a sound. I have experience on that front, and it looks just like that

Is Maharg scared of losing his cool card by coming here and saying something positive about the show ?
Seriously, this season is so much better than season 2. They really toned it down a notch; it doesn't feel like 24 anymore.

So the whole purpose of the Dana/Leo storyline was to find a way to make Carrie blow her cover.
Also to have Jessica admit to Carrie she was right about Brody.

Yeah, this irks me as well. There's no fucking way I would let my wife call me by my last name like this.

Q: Do you need anything?
A: Yes, I have a stain on on my shirt
the friend I can understand, but isn't his wife's name Brody too?

Maybe. Do women still do this in America ? Taking their husband's name, I mean.
Sure. Isn't that the "thing" with marriage?

Wat great episode. That's some good spy stuff. I've been skipping Dana stuff for 3 episodes. Its good
I'm thinking 'Brody' is a hivemind they all share.

Not really. It's illegal where I live. Each spouse has to keep their name.
Where do you live and why is it illegal?

I'm in Québec. Article 5 of the Civil Code of Québec states that "Every person exercises his civil rights under the name assigned to him and stated in his act of birth." The reason it is that way and no exception is made for marriages or civil unions is for man-woman equality. The tradition of the wife taking her husband's name is a patriarchal one, which equates the wife to a possession meant to be marked by its owner. The government wanted to curb this so since April 2nd 1981, everyone who gets married in Québec has to keep their name. If a foreign couple were to get married in Québec and one of the them wanted to take the other's name, they would have to get remarried in their home country (or in another Canadian province) as the law makes no exception for foreigners.
Well technically he's an Iranian spy, not a terrorist. Big difference.
isn't this guy the mastermind behind the CIA bombing?

Yeah, it's weird. I worked with a girl who would sometimes call her boyfriend by his last name, which would anger him and have him tell her to not do that.
I'm sure it's like this for most people. I mean, Christ, when you're dating someone or are married to him/her, you should damn well better be on a first-name basis.
I call some of my friends by their last name and I know some people that use their last name pretty much exclusively. I bring up Jessica's name because I think it is far stranger to refer to a relative/spouse by the last name you share (and she does share it afaik -- either way her kids certainly do).
- I liked this episode outside of the Dana material. They reeeeeally need to make Dana relevant to the broader storyline beyond "I'm sad and betrayed and think my father is a terrorist poopy head and it hurts." In the right situation that would be a fine story to tell, but it's clear that this is not that situation. It is not a good enough portrayal of "the war at home" to justify itself on its own.
- A+ for having Virgil and Max, but we need more Virgil quips!
- Even though he's being massively insensitive towards Carrie, I'm going to give Saul the benefit of the doubt that in the end he'll do what it takes to do the right thing for her. The "twist" from the previous episode wasn't a twist to me, it was just a confirmation that the writers hadn't forgotten where Carrie and Saul were at the end of season 2. His agency problems (not to mention his perpetual marriage difficulties) are making him all the worse, and we haven't even seen the bottom yet. He'll probably reach out to Dar Adal and make a very sketchy deal in order to get something done before he's drummed out of his position. But Good Saul will win out in the end. Even if it costs him everything.

oh, is that who he is, have we seen him before?

Yes most likely, but that still wouldn't make him a terrorist. Terrorism is specifically defined as the use of violence against (keyword here) a civilian population for the purpose of advocating some type of political change or action (think 9/11). The CIA would not fall into this definition as a "civilian population/target" it is more akin to a military command and control center. Afterall, it wouldn't be terrorism if the US bombed the Iranian spy agency nor is it called terrorism when we destroy terrorist training camps.
Remember, the Iranians are responding in the show to the US support of the Israelis bombing campaign against Iranian nuclear power centers. Thus, the Iranians bombing of the CIA is more akin to a cover strike of retaliation, or sabotage as part of a larger guerrilla war and would not be classified as terrorism. Now, if they were to say blow up a shopping mall then that would be terrorism.

Can someone tell me how Carrie going to ask for help to find Dana would compromise the operation ?

Because she'd be meeting with the FBI.
They see her with the fbi, the Iranians think they are telling the fbi about them.
