First of all I love this program and I am disappointed to see Brody killed off. I am however of a different opinion than most. Brody didn't 'make' the show, neither did Carrie. What made the show is the plausibility and the political intricacies and plots. The show can move on and be just as interesting with new character development. On the other hand Brody could show up,,, can you say body-double, can you say staged execution complete with reinforced neck prosthesis so the US can give him a new identity and The new Iranian PM can retain credibility. There's lots of ways to 'bring him back from the dead'. The problem is bringing Brody back would do more harm than good. It would cause the credibility of the show to go down the toilet. Leave the dead where they lie and move on to new and exciting intrigue. Reincarnating Brody would be a classic case of jumping the shark. Just my two cents worth. Cheeers
