Re Quinn's death. From what I've been following is not common for Rupert to be in so many shows and the way he's been talking ab Quinn, it's obviously a way to say goodbye to an important work, I just didn't want to believe it but I don't want to fool myself anymore. The evidences are there, we just refuse to see. Q's death won't make sense after all that build-up but it's Gansa's show, he does what he wants, there will be no logical answer. I understand your optmism but let's face the reality.

This will also rap up the Brody Quinn parallels. B was the wrong decision, Q the right one, etc. I just can’t see what they gonna do with Q for 2 more seasons… They’re just not interested in showing a romantic /domestic relationship explicitly. It is romantic yes, but it’s also romantic to die for your true love and country. Ruperts answers seem foreboding as well. If they do it right, I guess the majority would want to tune in next season to see how Carrie will handle everything. /2

Her mission could be to make right by him. /3

So your logic is “Gansa needs no logic”? LOL, OK Anon. 

But, yeah, at WTH we function under the assumption that Gansa is actually good at his job and knows his craft, so we do expect his story choices to be rational. Others are free not to trust him, but if you come to WTH with questions, you know what to expect from us 💁.

“The evidences are there, we just refuse to see.”

The evidence is there that Gansa is telling a story following the conventions of the thriller genre. If you want to look for “evidence” outside the story to stoke your fears, that’s your choice, but we at WTH are not participating. We don’t do “foreboding.”

“This will also rap up the Brody Quinn parallels.”

There are no Brody/Quinn parallels other than they are both men.

“It’s also romantic to die for your true love and country.”

Quinn dying a heroic death may make sense at the end of the series, but thrillers don’t kill their heroes ¾ of the way into the story, because – guess what? – they are actually needed to tell the story. 

The audience – and Carrie – already grieved for Quinn at the end of Season 5, which would dilute the emotional impact of killing him at the end of Season 6. It would be like brewing coffee from the grounds you used yesterday. It would just taste like dirty water and the audience would spit it out because, gross. 

Killing a character of the magnitude of Peter Quinn only makes sense for a huge emotional impact. We already know Quinn is willing to die for Carrie and to protect others. Nothing huge there.

Quinn’s arc this season is about finding the will to live in this very altered form he has. It’s not about dying heroically.

Sorry, but what is GQAD again?

Generalized Quinn Anxiety Disorder, defined by the DSM-5 as “an irrational and overwhelming fear that Peter Quinn is doomed”

[wthomeland]

GQSD anon here for consultation. I stopped looking for spoilers last 3 episodes, coz I like to fully experience the excitement. However, I'm so so stressed out about finale that I'm afraid my angst create opposite effect and I won't be able to enjoy the show at all. So, just for my own protection and sanity, I'm thinking maybe I should watch it after you guys.This way, I can read your posts and prepare myself, in case you know what happens! 😷 Your advice please. Thanks.

Are you fucking kidding? Absolutely not! We are not your mother and you may not hide behind our skirt! You must face your fears head on! 

Here is a “bravery task” for you: 

You will LOG OFF of all your social media accounts Sunday at noon. You will watch the FINALE by yourself – or with your poor husband/boyfriend – at 9 p.m. Then, at 10 p.m. you may log back in and resume your fangirling. 

In case you’re thinking of cheating on your assignment, know this: 

We at WTH will be going on RADIO SILENCE on Sunday because we don’t want to be spoiled in case there are any tricksters out there who manage to watch the episode early and come on Twitter/Tumblr/Forum peddling their illicit wares. 

So if you go poking around the internet on Sunday and see something that upsets you, don’t come running to us because WE WON’T BE HERE! 😈

Hi! The thought that haunts me these days is the possibility that PEOTUS, even knowing that Q saved her life, let him fall to cover the conspiracy generated from within the CIA and thus protect the institution for the future? What do you think about this?

Does this “haunting” involve fear of Quinn dying? Because if it does, you must complete the homework assignment that I gave GQAD Anon a couple of days ago:

Tell me in three paragraphs or less how killing Quinn would serve: a) Carrie’s story; b) the Homeland story; c) Showtime’s bottom line.

If you can convince me with logic (not episode tag lines) that killing Quinn makes sense, then you’re allowed to worry. If not, then you need to let it go.

And you get a bonus question: Why would PEOTUS want to protect the CIA? She hates the CIA.

Also, there’s no evidence that the conspiracy was “generated from within the CIA.” Like Saul said, “whatever’s going on here, it’s not the Agency. Not my Agency, at least.” Clearly a faction of the CIA is involved (AKA Dar), but this is not a CIA-led conspiracy.

this letter... I'm worried about it now. Pleaaase don't let Quinn die as a hero saving the day! He is a true hero, everybody knows it. Rupert keeps on talking about his love for Quinn and I'm worried about it too! Hope it's not his last goodbye to our beloved character.

Why would Quinn “die as a hero saving the day” with two seasons left in the story? 

How would this serve Carrie’s story? How would this serve Homeland’s story? How would this serve Showtime’s bottom line?

Sorry, GQAD sufferers, if you can’t present me with logical arguments, I can’t take you seriously 💁

#GQAD sufferer here. I had a flare-up watching the clip from 6x12. Q&C NEVER tell each other to "be careful". It's a sign. He's a goner.

It’s a sign that an action sequence is coming. Remember it’s a thriller? 

I need logical arguments re. how killing Quinn makes sense, not “signs” please. Otherwise all you #GQAD sufferers are getting a swift kick in the ass. Tough love is the treatment of choice at the GQAD Treatment Center.
