Brody is caught praying by his daughter and tells her he converted to Islam. After more secretive exchanges and recording a video message, everything is ready to blow up Vice President William Walden at a high-profile meeting for his presidential campaign. Saul reluctantly looks into Carrie's theory of a wide conspiracy involving both Brody and Tom Walker, but orders her kept away. Walker meanwhile gets hold of a female cabinet member and slips in with her. At the big moment, Brody's detonator fails.

The cow is waiting

What a crock of s***.

So what was building up so beautifully all fall came up to this? I honestly don't believe the show's screenwriters are as brainless as to produce such a disappointing piece of 90-minute filler.

The reason for the apathetic piece of nothingness I saw earlier today is much more trivial. It is coloured in green and has the pictures of dead American presidents on it. Namely, if things came to a natural end in the final episode of the first season, there would be no need for a second season.

But hey, the show has been extended for a second season, the cash cow is ready for milking so we have to patch up some tur* called "season finale" and extend what could have been one episode into a whole season. The cow is waiting!!!

Guys, while you have been so fixated on your cash cow, do you think you might have, you know, accidentally shot yourselves in the leg? Because you may indeed have that second season but it is quite possible you won't have any viewers for it? At least that is my reaction and the reaction of the vast majority of people on the boards today...

A real pity, the show was really good until now. Nonetheless, I hope Claire Danes gets an Emmy for her performance, she was indeed outstanding. But the show is in the toilet. Sorry.
