Too bad that the Homeland team cared so little about the points made in this article from early November…

Very true, but it was Carrie (responded to Sol's request) who told him to do go to Iran and do this (again) for redemption.

If it's true, it sure is stupid of Showtime to not have timed the negotiations to have been completed prior to the filming of this season, IMO.

Why do Homeland writers once *again* have Carrie being responsible for the deaths of people she loves. They did it with Brody and now with Quinn?

That scenario really bugged me. Carrie, as his family of choice and advocate for his wishes; in the majority of hospitals, would be approached by the medical team and given the choice to let him go - place him on hospice (in the hospital) with an IV drip of Morphine to ease his transition.

He also lied to Carrie when she asked him if Jonas had asked about her and Otto said "No",

While I'm so hoping Quinn recovers - after working in Neuro Intensive Care for decades - while RARE - I have seen miraculous and near complete recoveries in people with Intracerebral bleeds that were HUGE. And most of those lucky souls were much older than Quinn, so medically I know it's possible but the thing I…

I can't figure out why they would kill him off this way. I do wonder if RF wanted out - which I would also be surprised to learn - IF that's the case.

Excellent recap, Joshua! The only one that I have read that goes deep and takes into consideration the previous seasons characterization that this show has elicited.

Thanks RR! I'd forgotten all about her very reasonable requests along with his absurd response.
