Ugh, I hate Carrie so much, more annoying than Dana and dumber than Chris.

Yeah I'd actually heard that before I saw the episodes, wasn't doubting it's truth, it just struck as a hilarious and odd line for the Director of the CIA to shout in an argument.
The scene with the baby in the tub. Geez, there would have been zero redemption for her barely likable character at that point.
I'm glad the show's focus isn't on the Brody family anymore. Still has a lot of problems, but it is more enjoyable now than it was during season 2 which I felt was the low point.

Pretty good start to the season. I'm curious to see if they can maintain that quality throughout the rest of the seaso-did Carrie just try to drown her fucking baby?!? WHAT
It...isn't?
Yeah...
I know, right?
"I loved him so much. When I close my eyes I still see him there."
STOP just fucking forget about Brody and his family already. Just move on Carrie, jeez.
lmao
Especially after she raped him the night before.
Me too. The other one was too steeped in Brody history and I'd rather they devote those seconds to the actual content of the episode anyway.

I wonder if the writers thought about that implication.

I don't know what show you watched, but the Quinn I saw seemed to be pretty enjoying himself.

I didn't think it was bad at all. Even if it was it wouldn't even make the list of awful things that aired on Sunday. You're talking about the night where both The Strain finale and the Mulaney pilot aired. Now that's bad television.
I knew there was gonna be a problem when Peter Russo addressed Quinn as Peter.
There is only room for one Peter.

Watching it right now. Being a Pakistani myself, small things like
Completely take me out of the show. :/ Happens with every movie/show I've seen.
Otherwise, I'm glad the Brody baggage and DANA are gone. Sucks that Brody himself isn't around anymore though. Was the best character on the show.
Pakistanis speaking with Indian accents and hilariously over-the-top Urdu segments (things most normal Pakistanis won't even say in casual conversations)

im from pakistan myself and i thought the same thing. the conversations felt so awkward to watch at times.

In favor of setting Muslim women on fire
Already better tha the last 2 seasons
Interesting perspective.
What Urdu segment? The transition of language? I mismatch my spanish and english all the time when i am speaking to family.

Probably not, though Sepinwall did mention that there are "some missteps with Quinn's storyline next week", so perhaps they'll touch on it then.
Of course he enjoyed himself. Men always enjoy sex regardless of circumstance in TV/movies. (unless it's male on male rape)
Plus, it's also weird that the show portrayed the manager woman in such a positive light when the fact is she took advantage of a man who was so drunk that he could barely speak or walk.

So much hate for Carrie. I wonder why people "endured" Walter White, who's arguably a way worse person...

OK I saw the first two episodes and the show kind of sucks without Brody. The stuff with Quinn was enjoyable, but the Carrie stuff had me bored and looking at my phone. They killed off a great actor in the first episode that could have made the show interesting:/

She makes the show in my opinion. Claire Danes is magnetic.

So uhh are they hinting at future Quinn/Carrie love interest?
I seen enough tv to know when I see them vibes.

Overall I liked the two episodes. As some have said they are clearly taking the time to set things up for the rest of the season (stupidly obvious statement yes) but in shows like this it takes time.
Anyways couple of random thoughts.
-It's okay to dislike Carrie, I don't understand the mindset of always having to root for/like the "main" characters
-Quinn continues to be awesome, Hope he has an even bigger role this season
-Saul and his Wife, god I was so put off by their first scene. I don't think I can take the "you're late"/"stop working long hours to be with me" shit that has been dragging on for just about every season so far. Just. ugh. Enough. Hopefully that's as much as we'll get this season.
-Lockhart scenes are always good. He plays that role so well. They hint at him being removed fairly early but even if he does I hope he continues to have screen time.
-Can never get enough Saul.

All of this is true. Watched it last night and my thoughts mirror yours. The only thing I'll add is that while you can never get enough Saul, I could deal with never seeing him in another scene with his wife.

Brody is alive
The two episodes were pretty good. My wife and I about flipped at the

Such a good username.

Quinn is da bess. More please
I thought the premiere was pretty solid actually, albeit a completely different show. I was actually shocked they brought in Corey Stoll just to kill him off in the first episode, so I guess that was effective stunt casting. I also enjoyed Quinn's beatdown of those pricks in the restaurant.
The worst thing about this show has always been the unbelievable Carrie/Brody romance and even after his death it continues to linger here. "I loved him so much...I still see him when I close my eyes." Just, what? Their relationship amounted to sporadic periods of fucking, that's all.
Not thinking being a mom is the greatest thing ever = drown the baby. Ok.
lol, "the research we've done."

Wait, what made you think that? I don't think either thinks that of the other.

What vibes ? Quinn borderline hates Carrie.

Yeah, the whole "It's not about you" scene was great.

Totally. As soon as she said "you can't do this to me" (or something to that effect), I uttered to myself exactly what Quinn said to her, seconds before. Because indeed, she was being egocentric.

Related to above discussion, from one of Sepinwall & Feinberg's podcasts last week (Episode 3 spoilers)
They heavily imply that there's something romantic between Carrie and Quinn in 403, something neither of them were happy about to no one's surprise
Boy did they fast track Quinn into being a likable main character.
Maybe because one became a badass drug kingpin and the other cries a lot and almost drowned her baby?
WW was a worse person but Carrie is the worse character.

I don't get why people say they hate Carrie. Personally, I watch the show because of Carrie. Every scene with her is so unpredictable. You really have no idea if she's going to fuck someone, fuck someone over, fuck herself, fuck a country, fuck shit up, or
drown her own fucking baby
But when Carrie is on point, it is great TV.

I love Carrie's character. She's so flawed and human, and is brought to life by a fantastic actress.

Yeah, that was kinda stupid. When she said she loved him, I said out loud, "....why, again?". Never found that relationship believable at all.
But she didn't drown the baby. Calm down.
Agreed.
