Quinn was the moral center, and the heart and the conscience of the show. He was also the male lead with his own arc—much more so than Saul. The show won't be the same without him.

End of Season 2 when Quinn was just starting. I got sick of Carrie/Brody and watching this supposedly "strong, independent" woman make dumbass decisions over a man, and I felt the bipolar storyline was becoming a cheap gimmick. I felt the show was brilliant in Season 1, but I started to feel manipulated by it after…

I'm a VERY independent woman, and a Clinton voter. I don't consider Carrie some heroic, feminist paragon. Quite the opposite.

Ganza said that S6 Quinn was a "stand-in" for all the damaged vets who came back and he wanted to tell a "wounded warrior" story. So this is the best a vet can hope for? To be abused and used as punching bag all season and then die a hollow hero's death? What kind of message does this send to vets and the disabled? …

I actually think there would have been a ton of material with Quinn. Carrie—I was sick of long ago. Saul bores me. But Quinn still had a lot of loose ends and back stories that never got resolved. We could have seen his recovery arc, and him as a different person but still a badass. Dar, his son, his ex, his…

But there was no mourning of a favorite character. No catharsis for the audience. It was all so rushed and perfunctory. Even Carrie, who loved him deeply, had only a few sniffles over some photos. He died broken and feeling unloved. Heroism is a pretty hollow consolation, especially when it turned out to be for an…

That's my plan. I dropped it once before and Quinn brought me back. I'm out again—this time for good.

Worse season ever. Disjunct. Anticlimatic. And good lord, you really think that was a fitting end for Quinn? Two seasons of torture porn for a beloved character, only to die for a lying president and the woman who made him damaged in the first place? Would it have been SO terrible to give him a little happiness…

I think we are supposed to feel conflicted and constantly off-balance about them. We admire our main trio for their patriotism and courage, yet as people they are deeply flawed. Quinn is a killing machine who pays a price for having a heart and a conscience. Saul and Carrie are more ruthless and mission-oriented, but…

I didn't realize Jake Weber was a Brit! His American accent was perfect in "Medium". Damien Lewis, Rupert Friend and Hugh Laurie do amazing American accents. You'd never know they were Brits. But I think an authentic Southern accent is tough to pull off for anyone, including American actors. I kind of wished Jake…

I don't think we'll get a "happy ending" per se. Closure in real life is a myth, and the show is realistic enough to acknowledge that. But to build up this relationship for years without some kind of acknowledgement or point to it—it would be really frustrating for the audience.

Yes, and I'm not arguing with you at all! I'm a writer, so part of what makes this show great, and what makes me crazy about it, is the ambiguity and that you have to watch it 15 times to figure out what's going on…and even then…you're not entirely sure! At least, I'm not.

I am not a fan of the manipulative writing either. If they kill Quinn off in the Season Finale, I will stop watching the show. It's not just out of sentiment, but because I'm a writer. To subject an audience to seeing a beloved character shot, tortured, gassed, near death and miraculously revived, only to give them…

You could be right. I'm just not convinced either way.

I began to actively hate Saul when Quinn was dying (which Saul caused, btw) and he tried to guilt-trip Carrie into taking a new position at the CIA. He accused her of being "selfish" when she said she wasn't that person anymore. Carrie has been selfish many times, but caring for her dying friend and wanting a normal…

I've watched the episode three times, and as I've said, it's not definitive one way or another. Quinn could have gone to follow the other guys, realized the Hat Guy wasn't there, and doubled back. And also—I think you're giving the show way too much credit for not having plot holes. Quinn is always around to rescue…

I'm not talking about "intelligence-gathering" being definitive. I'm talking about the action on my screen. Maybe he set her up, maybe he didn't. I'm not being sentimental about it. Quinn would have been smart to use her as bait, but at this point, it's an assumption. There really is nothing in the action to suggest…

They've reversed roles. Now it's not clear what Quinn feels for her, other than anger. Oh, I'm sure he loves her deep down, but brain injury can blunt the emotions, so it's hard to read him now. He was the one who always made sacrifices for Carrie. Now she's taken on that role for him.

I'm a plus-sized redhead. If he can't find her, I'll volunteer.

Not sure how old you are, but remember the whole "swiftboating" thing with Kerry? The Andrew Keane SL reminded me a lot of that.
