Hey JAYNZTOWN, Don't you have any impulse control at all. Do you intend to corrupt every thread with your obsession with Muslims. This does not belong in general discussions.

Obsession: an idea or thought that continually preoccupies or intrudes on a person's mind:

Intrudes on a person’s mind JAYNZTOWN.
Intrudes: To disturb somebody’s peace or privacy by going or being somewhere uninvited.

To be in someone’s mind because they are not in control of their own thoughts JAYNZTOWN.

Watching you post obsessively the same topic in every thread it is apparent to me, Muslims inhabit continually your every thought, concept, and urge. What you are experiencing is invasive and results in significant fear, distress, or discomfort to you.

I suggest you have yourself checked for Obsessive–compulsive disorder. You appear to me to be unable to control either your thoughts or your actions and I see no examples of restraint in your assault on these threads.

I have more or less avoided Homeland until recent posts reminded me that Morena gets nekkid for 3 years following V.

So I checked it out from the library, and I have a few questions for anybody who has followed the show.
Caveat: the DVDs were scratched and had trouble playing, and they were available out of sequence - third season, then second, then first.
So I may have missed the answers to these queries.

Jessica Brody calls her husband by his (their) last name - Brody. This would be common for buddies in the military, and then this transfers into other situations, but Jessica and Nick met in school as children, and dated then. Does anybody find this weird?

Why does Brody keep switching uniforms, in a straight timeline? He goes from Class A Dress as Gunnery Sergeant with 12 years of service to Dress Blues as Sergeant with 4 years of service, and then back again, repeatedly. This is a serious breach of regulation - Marines are not allowed to wear wrong rank or insignia, whether of greater rank or of lesser rank. And in Marine rank, this is a fluctuation of 2 Staff NCO ranks, whereas with other branches it would be 1 Staff NCO rank.
I did not catch any reason in the story which would explain such bewildering actions. Does anybody know of a valid excuse for this? Or is it just a massive blundering gaff?

For the first 2 seasons, it seems Dana is the most mature member of the Brody family. Then, as Morena no longer gets nekkid in Season 3, Dana does - being a year older than her character.

Does anybody really think that Lynne Reed was found out? Or was she merely the unfortunate vehicle for the transfer of funds? Assuming the Prince was not involved and not aware, I don't see how she was found out. I can understand that Foggy Bottom was mistaken, but then I didn't see them ever mention their mistake, they never seemed to catch on. Or was this some plot twist that I missed, and only Carrie would have been expected to catch it, and she was too self-absorbed about the tragic events?



Note: anybody notice David Marciano at the finale of season one? He's calling out the the agent, named Benton!! In the series Due South, David's Ray Vecchio's best buddy is Constable Benton Fraser. This scene gave me a brief fit.

I would likely not have otherwise seen Supergirl nekkid if not for this first season.


So was it Tom Walker that kept getting into the Washington Monument at night? I don't get that part - who else was turning the lights on and off? Or is there some tradition about The Monument flicking the pinnacle lights on and off at a certain time? I never saw them fluctuate in person, but then I didn't look at it all that much when I was in D.C.

I admit I was very glad when Estes got his due.

And then after posting that I go home and bump across Supergirl, and there is David Estes/Harewood on her show, when I had just reviewed her being on the show where he was the Arch-villian.
