We certainly can say, “Well, Gansa would never admit that he’s bringing him back,” and I would have said that if you hadn’t said it for me.

I can’t fault you for your pragmatism, and realistically, with this show, it’s always in your best interests to prepare for the worst. And then, as I like to say, expect it to be worse than that.

But it’s not over until it’s over, dude, and there is no more reason to believe Quinn’s gone now than there was a month ago. There just isn’t.

On the one hand, I’m like, “maybe,” but on the other hand, I’m like, “Homeland is really bad at social media.”

I’d argue that this entire show has mostly just been non-stop torture of Carrie Mathison, so… but anyway, as interesting as this question is, it makes me very itchy to contemplate it because I have a hard time giving a shit if male characters are tortured.

That it was Quinn hurts, and it was all gratuitous bullshit anyway, completely unnecessary for storytelling purposes or narrative or… however they’re spinning it? 

 @seriousreader: What’s your take on Rupert’s Huff Post interview? Past interviews quoted him as saying that he stopped watching HL when he joined and now he could start again. His comment this time, about HL “maybe died with Quinn” for Rupert, was a clear shift.

“For me, maybe, Homeland’ died with Peter Quinn” — Rupert Friend

I think this says it all (and I love the Brit politeness which makes him add the ‘maybe’).

Rupert gave us a good amount of insight in his recent interviews about how Quinn’s altered state as modern veteran was a challenge which set him on fire.
