In first two episodes of season three, Nicholas Brody, played by Damian Lewis, a magnet for most of the story beats that made the backlash so angry at the end of season two, doesn’t appear. He’s going to be in the show. Footage from upcoming episodes shown in a pre-panel teaser showed a very bald Lewis in some foreign location (possibly Puerto Rico, where the show has been doing some filming to double for Caracas, Venezuela, though that location pops up in the season première, with no Brody present), and Lewis was on the panel, though necessarily tight-lipped. But the first two episodes of the season explore the idea of Brody’s absence—and through that absence explore how he and, by extension, Carrie have fucked up the lives of so many people around them. It’s a refreshing change from season two’s star-crossed lovers shtick.
It also means that there was little else to talk about during the show’s panel, outside of that specific bit of information. The producers answered a question about whether viewers could expect any big character deaths in season three with the expected “no comment,” and talked about how one of the season’s major themes appears to be the role of the CIA in the war on terror.
