The gang will come up with a plan, that will of course work, and save him and all will be well. Don't you worry about Wesley.

I could still see that happening, but then at the last minute after you think everyone's safe, one of the henchmen will be about to kill one of the cops, and Wesley sacrifices himself to save them. Or maybe even not a henchman, but a freak incident with another criminal or holdup or something.

Wow I was wrong about the neighbor. I still didn't recognize him at all, I guess I've not seen that actor in anything else.

 

[Tony_T]

Kudos to those who said it was the neighbor.
(and how could a detective not even suspect someone who has a view of the house and could easily gain access)

 

[Tony_T]

How did he miss Nolan with an automatic weapon?

"How could you miss?"

He was a major part of Homeland from the beginning of the series. Interestingly enough this was a serious departure from that role (he was a really quiet guy who was screwed over by the main character, which of course in Homeland fashion we saw his reaction to it unfold over a long period of time). I really like the actor.

Hm I watched S1 of Homeland but that was 10 years ago. I liked it but it fell off my radar before S2.

Thanks, I don't recognize him. He was also a main character in the final season of Homeland.

Yes, I was trying not to be too spoilery. I wish they'd brought back his brother (David Marciano), but he had a cool storyline at the end.

Doing Episode 8 from the pov of body cams, shopcams, dashcams, interrogation room cams, ball cam, helicopters cams, streetcams, overpass cam, storefront security cams, dock cam, helmet cam, ship cam and finally the studio camera was interesting. Annoying at times, but interesting.

 

[eddyj]

I thought the opposite. Annoying. Interesting at times, but mostly just annoying.

 

[Pokemon_Dad]

Ah. We're into SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 8 now. Sounds like I may get a headache watching this episode, but I'll give it a go.

The motion sickness inducing shots were not too bad, IMO, it was just the constant change of perspective that was annoying. If they had stuck with each of the cameras longer, rather than switch so often, I think it would have been less annoying, while still giving you a similar effect. But I guess that is why I am not a director.

 

[Amnesia]

I didn't understand why Angela was discussing her husband's actions inside the "shop" with the camera recording everything...

 

[Tony_T]

…or why they were discussing Home Renovations over the air.

Agreed, I was more annoyed than nauseated. In network TV, I guess that's a win.

 

[JYoung]

Although it was nice to see Peyton List.

Oh and (also previous Flash villain Matt Letscher).

Agree with you. It can be an effective story-telling device when done well and when there's a legitimate reason for it. This episode was neither of those things.

The director forgot to say "cut." Now everybody knows.

I'm pretty sure Bradford asked them to switch to a different channel before asking about home renovations. So, not on the open channel. I have no idea if stuff like that is done IRL.

maybe, but that was after Nyla said over the air, "he needs to do my kitchen backsplash first", so they did start the discussion on an open channel (unless she said that after they moved to a private channel ).
