I am sorry about your loved one. It's tough, especially if you have BP1. I had that more when I was young. On meds, I've downgraded to BP2 (if "downgraded" is the right term) and have been pretty stable for many years. I tend to have more problems with depression and the occasional hypomania. I was most offended by…

One thing that drives me crazy is the notion that if there is a romantic relationship in a show like this, it's "unrealistic" or unnecessary to the plot. For me, it's the emotional moments between damaged humans who have sacrificed "normal" in order to work for the CIA—that's what makes this show. IRL—people do have…

Oh of course, and I love that—to a point. I'm not even suggesting she say ILY in a romantic sense, but just as a friend would do for a friend in pain. I get that they're both damaged and dysfunctional, but now it's just seeming contrived.

Me too and I have bipolar disorder! In Season 1 and 2, I got sick of it being used as a gimmick. Her relationship with Brody was realistic for a person with BPD because even if you're not having an episode, the roller coaster is your comfort zone. A doomed romance has got an expiration date so you can throw yourself…

She does deserve to be bait…lol! Out of curiosity I watched again because I thought maybe I had missed it. I didn't see anything definitive to suggest that. He tells Carrie he's going to go "wherever they go" and leaves to follow Belli and friends. He thinks the house is empty, so he tells Carrie he left her the code…

She's wearing minimal make-up this season, and I bet that's a deliberate choice—almost as if they want to strip her bare and show the real Carrie, not the perfect, always in-control Carrie. I notice as Quinn gets better, his hair is washed and he's starting to be more the romantic hero again. Damn. He's beautiful…

Using Carrie as bait? Boy, I didn't catch that at all. I figured he came back because he knew she was going to the house and thought she might be in danger, or he had second thoughts and was going to join her in their sleuthing again. I'll have to watch it again, but that would really be bleak for an already bleak…

I think one of the most unrealistic aspects of this show is that Carrie has never told Quinn that she loves him though she's had 15,000 opportunities to. If my best friend and soulmate were in such excruciating pain, I'd tell him whether he wanted to hear it or not. She clearly loves him deeply, as was evidenced by…

I don't think he has had time to process Astrid's death. He's been on the run and homeless and fighting for his own survival. On top of that, he has brain damage where the emotions are often blunted. We may see him have a delayed reaction later on. I kinda couldn't with the warpaint thing though. It was just a little…

Maybe, but it was funny nonetheless. Sarcasm and a sense of irony are among the first things that go with brain damage, but we've seen him being snarky before this season so maybe he's not past hope. I think he's very funny this season. When he threw the coffee mug at Carrie, I know it wasn't supposed to be funny, but…

I won't sleep until Quinn walks out of the Season Finale alive, because I fear the same thing. However, Quinn is starting to get his groove back. And I think a lot is being set up for our three heroes to be back in the game for Season 7. It's hard to believe that this season is going to be wrapped up in only two more…

Quinn to the kid: "Next time, ask for half upfront." LMAO! That felt like Old Quinn with his dry, deadpan wit. It reminded me of the time in Islamabad when he overpaid the market vendor and and said 'You're going to need it" and then torched all his wares. Classic Quinn.

I gave up on the show after Season 2 because I got really sick of the Brody/Carrie romance. I recently picked it up again—and am totally hooked. I may be in the minority, but I thought Seasons 3-6 were better than the early Brody seasons.Homeland is like a good novel—you can't just pick it up in the middle. So yeah,…

I know this sounds mean, but I was saying "Michael who"? when he was alive. I found his character to be so bland.

Perceiving a couple's chemistry is highly subjective. I love Jane and Raf together. When they're onscreen together, they just zing.

I just read that Rupert Friend actually wrote Quinn's beautiful letter to Carrie. Geez. The dude is talented. I am just returning to this show. After Season 2, I was sick to death of the Carrie/Brody romance and the Brody Bunch. Carrie grates and Saul is insufferable, but I was in love with Quinn from the get-go. I…

Nervous about Jane and Raf getting back together? I don't think it should happen until next season. But even if they do, it can't be any worse than the mediocre dreck that was served up by the Jane and Michael storyline. In Season 1, I was hooked by the charming kitsch and faux-telenovela comic melodrama. It was…

For me, the grounded, everyday problems were like very other cutesy sit-com out there. I fell in love with this show because it was magical, funny, over-the-top, kitschy and not like ordinary life. I loved that it was a take on the melodrama of the telenovela and also very funny.

But they kinda did. This isn't the Jane and Michael show. It's a show about Jane and her growth, and I don't see how much more drama could be eked out from that marriage. Another baby? Losing the baby? Jane or Michael having an accident or almost dying? A cop caper together? Jane and Michael finding out what was…

The whitewashing of Michael and the demonizing of Raf is getting realllly old. Michael has done just as many bad things as Raf, and some were even worse (like getting violent and hurting Mateo). Can we just acknowledge that both are great guys who did bad things for good reasons and move on?
