I'm excited by the thoughts of it! Might even try to go online and watch it tonight rather than wait till Friday as usual.

It and Homelands this evening are great to watch.

When did Peter Quinn come under suspicion so that they discovered his links to shady illegal operations?

***SPOILER ALERT***

Early in Season 2 when we were first introduced to "Peter Quinn", Saul asked Virgil and Max (a great and understated duo) to do some digging on Quinn.
Saul, who has been with the CIA for 30 years, and knows everybody in the intelligence analysis field, had never heard of him. Neither had Carrie. Both knew it was weird that Quinn was unknown to them, and yet he's assigned to head a team to track and trap Brody - an agent of Abu Nazir.
The break-in at Quinn's place was the culmination of Virgil and Max's digging, as they could find nothing else on him. Tho it is weird that the show should only loop back round to that sub-plot seven odd episodes after first mentioning it.

I never strayed from the old faith sandwich and flash at matches. I couldn't betray it for a panini.

The fact they had a countdown clock going in early July was the last straw.

Yes, but the same report goes on to say:

"Following graduation, most students in the UK tend to remain in the region
of their HE institution.  For NI domiciled students, regardless of university
attended, 81% are located  in NI six months following graduation.  While
care must be taken for consistency of data, HESA data indicate that 29%
of NI domiciled undergraduate students are in GB, while six months after
graduation some 19% are in GB; this  suggests that a net 10% of NI
domiciles return to NI following graduation.

ˆHowever, further research is  needed to determine the community
background of these graduates and the relative rates of return migration
for each community. Should the return rate for each community be the
same, then overall, educational out-migration and return would have a
disproportionate effect on the Protestant community, potentially reducing
the number of Protestants available for graduate jobs."

Thought there will be blood was middling at best, Lewis was good but verging on hamming it up IMO, thought the same with his character English Bob? in Gangs of NY.  Took the kids to see Toy Story 3 and have to say I was very disappointed considering the rave reviews it got.

Best movie i have seen this past decade is No Country for Old men, that is a movie.  There isn't a bad performance it in but Javier Bardem is just fantastic.

Think you're mixing up 'English Bob' from Unforgiven (played by Richard Harris), and 'Bill the Butcher' from Gangs of New York.

Thought There Will Be Blood was a great film - maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I saw it as an allegory of two vying powers of American society - religion and capitalism (materialism / gain) - for dominance and control. Lewis clearly hammed it up a bit but appeared to be channeling some of the characteristics of Noah Cross in Chinatown.

As Jack Gittes asks Cross in Chinatown: "how much is enough...what more can you buy?" Cross's answer is "the future Mr. Gittes". Daniel Plainview seems determined to own the same thing if he can.

Films seen recently:
Inception: 7/10
Restrepo: 9/10
