She does have the "yoga play." :)

What made that scene interesting, was just prior to that, the detective referred to her driving back to the city that night. Clearly, that's not what happened. And, would you call Montauk "the city"? I thought that was weird. To me, "the city" implies NYC, but, whatever. I think the point was to show that she is lying to the detective?

I second that. Still mourning the cancellation of that show. AMC needed to give it another chance, and give time for more viewers to catch on. But instead, we got The Walking Dead and Hell on Wheels, neither were able to hold my interest past their first seasons. Rubicon was fantastic, and I didn't mind the slow pace, at all. I bought the DVD, and will rewatch it some day in the near future.

I think the Carrie/Brody drama took over the show way too much. And Carrie made stupid decisions because of him. And now there's a baby.... and we had to see Carrie nearly contemplate drowning it. Thanks for that, show. So, I'm adding my voice to the choir who's expressing the opinion that another romance like that is just not needed in a show like this. I wouldn't feel slighted in the least bit if Carrie & Quinn didn't turn out to be the one true pairing. Romance isn't a lesser emotion, or one that needs to be avoided, but for some shows, I just don't feel that it's a necessary element to the drama. I came to Homeland for the CIA/spycraft... making such a big deal out of the relationship between Carrie and Brody nearly drove me away. Let Carrie hook up with some other agent... fine. Let Quinn hook up with whoever he wants. But throwing Carrie and Quinn together is a direction that would likely drive me away for good... because it will affect how they work together. When everyone was saying how Quinn was obviously in love with Carrie last season, I thought his looking out for her could have just as easily been interpreted as platonic, one agent caring for, and looking out for, the other... backing each other up. I didn't see anything in his actions that proved he was in love with her. I am hoping this is all leading to nothing... as it would be very refreshing to have them simply be great working partners, agents who can focus on the task at hand, depending on each other, and respecting each other, even if they butt heads (that's what makes it dynamic), but with no romantic interest in each other.

Yes, he called her "Ms Bailey." On IMDB.com, her character's name is Alison (with one L) Bailey. I was momentarily confused when I heard her refer to Noah's FIL as Bruce Butler (another B name). I had to go back to the interrogation scene when he called her by her last name to be sure she didn't end up married to the FIL later.

At first, I thought Adal's comment, "I knew you weren't that far gone" meant, "You haven't lost your edge. You can still kill a man if you wanted to." Then later, I thought it might have meant "I knew you weren't that far gone because you stopped before you killed me." In either case, it was weird.

Does she ever eat? My thoughts before that scene were, "When will we see Carrie actually consume food?" So, when she took something out of the microwave, I said, "Finally." Then her phone rang. Don't remember if she even had a bite. But something looked green, so at least there were vegetables in it. A spy needs her strength.

A premise like this (with the two perspectives and interrogation gimmicks) seems perfect for a mini-series, but it's difficult to envision how this can stay interesting and engaging beyond one season (if even that long). I can see it wearing thin real soon. Still, it's too soon to tell, so l'm willing to give it a few episodes to see what they do with it.

There was a spherical shaped building in one of the scenes, as well as a phallic shaped building/tower thing. Wish I knew how to do screen captures, but maybe someone else can. Pretty subtle, if that was all there was to it.

Count me among those who thought the opening scene (at first, anyway) might have been a class assignment of some kind... and maybe they were roll-playing. Actually, my very first impression was that maybe they (the students, in the classroom, perhaps) were watching a B horror movie to study, as the acting and writing were just that bad. In fact, I was sure of it, until it became clear this was a flashforward. Sorry, but Damages did that first, and did it so very much better. My next thought, then, was that this show was just not going to be very good. I stuck with it, though, to the end, while resisting the urge to just turn it off and do something more productive with my time, such as, oh, say alphabetize my spice drawer. I WISH that the only problems I had with the show were the unrealistic law parts. Since I don't know much about that, anyway, I probably would never even know most of the legal mistakes they made in that regard. But even that would be okay, if everything else was good, but it just wasn't. Davis's acting felt a bit too self-conscious and even hammy at times, like when actresses try a little too hard to make sure you know what a HBIC they are. That always seems forced to me. Oddly enough, when watching Damages, I always thought Glenn Close managed to pull that off just fine, though. She was always so convincing. Anyway, there was much more that turned me off about this show, than what interested me. I'd say I'm in the "I'm in till I'm out" group, too, but I don't even know if I can take a second episode. I did have a "Oh, yeah, this is a Shonda show" moment, when the music in the background was so loud it competed with the dialog. I hate it when she does that.
