I have a question about Dante’s tattoos. I assume they are specific to the character, not the actor, right? Do you know who would have conceived of them? The show runner? The episode writers? The director? Would the art department have just been told, give him tattoos? What do you think his tattoos signify?

Those are actually Morgan Spector’s tattoos. See more here.

Hi ladies, any chance for new fanfic chapters this weekend? Frangi's "There's a Crack in Everything" or last chapter of "Second Chances"? Laure's new fic? Tutor Quinn? Teen Quinn and Carrie and the cute puppy he got for Christmas? Quinn, Brody and Carrie in Iran? Strangers? Pretty please!!!

I’m annoying everybody as we speak to find out where people are at.

Ashley: Currently procrastinating by answering your question. Frangi: Might have something in 3-4 days.Laure: Will be sending my stuff to edit in the next few days, hopefully sooner rather than later.Sydney: I’m currently helping her edit a fic, probably up by the weekend.Cynthia: AHEM CYNTHIA. I’ve been working on Tutor Quinn by myself, but I also have been working on it much. Shame her. Go to her personal blog (@lange-c) and shame her. And tell her to finish Closure, too.Sara: Apparently is feeling inspired!! Now I’m procrastinating by talking to her about it.Angela: Is not feeling so inspired, alas. I am pouting about it.Zeffy: Has started two new fics instead of working on the stuff we’re all waiting for, but, hey, NEW FIC.BONUS because I love you:Pinkys143: Is back at work on her fic!InchbyInch: Apparently has so much written it’s not even funny, but is not ready for posting. Road_Not_Taken: I hope she doesn’t mind me telling you that she’s pretty close to finished with her new chapter, I’ve read most of it, and it rules.

#1:Talking about Q's moral code: 1/ he left his child for good 2/ he wasn't able to be with his child's mother 3/ he used A over years, for private&professional reasons 4/ he also e.g. 'used' his landlord lady when HE needed a kind of extraction & HE decided when he had enough of it 5/ he killed people, certainly not without collateral damages. So you can argue abt his reasons for all his bad actions, but in the end I don't see him having a incompatible or even a 'better' moral code as C. #2...

#2: In fact, C took responsibility for her bad actions&changed them: 1/ she decided to go back to her child 2/ she was 'willing' to be with her child's father, B 3&4/ same, but with different partners. in the end she stopped that behaviour (Jonas/refused Otto) 5/ same, but she quits CIA. Don't get me wrong, I love C&Q/CD&RF deeply, but what RF said abt moral code is not correct from my POV as a viewer for years now.

I feel you, dude. It’s clear to me that Rupert is channeling Quinn’s heart — admittedly, I don’t think that Peter Quinn or any other iteration of this man ever really had a chance. 

Carrie makes choices and has follow-through, and occasionally it’s to the detriment of the people she loves — most notably, to Quinn, and we love him. So it’s really easy to nod along with Rupert. 

That said, on my previous post on the subject, I got an utterly amazing comment by our lovely reader and friend, @inchbyinch68: 

I believe Quinn's accusations that Carrie is responsible for his disabilities are along the same lines as his belief that she "took him down when his back was turned." He is experiencing clinical delusions of paranoia that are especially confusing because of the real threats he faces and Carrie's real harmful actions.  What an interesting story to explore!  These writers are genius for setting this up.  I can't wait for the story to continue.

Good god, this show is a mess.

Dear fabulous ladies of HYH, Why do you think Quinn was ready to finally ready to watch the video when Carrie came to him the night after he threw a mug at her? He was entirely different in that scene than we had seen him since season 4. Why?

My (Sara) take: Quinn is not someone who likes or appreciates being pitied or babysat. I was personally very nervous and upset about the mug throwing scene as shown in the promos but they breezed right past it and didn’t dwell on it at all. That was probably the point. Max doesn’t dwell on it much either. A lot of 6.02 focuses on the different ways Quinn’s current state manifests–physically, verbally, psychologically. Is his seizure in 6.02 the first he actually remembers? In the previous episode, Carrie–always someone who has basically kept Quinn at arm’s length–invites him into her home. He’s not naive enough to believe it’s not out of guilt or obligation. So what then? I have to imagine that the not knowing was just eating away at him. Quinn, like Carrie, is someone who needs to know.

@frangipaniflower001: I don’t think one can ever be ready to watch that. So, no, he wasn’t ready. But watching it, confronting the traumatic incidents he experienced, is crucial for his recovery. It was the right and logical next step. Certain (and very successful) PTSD therapy approaches actually work by using trauma exposure. Importantly, he was not alone. He was with Carrie, the person he trusts the most who was helpful at the right moment. If only she’d managed to stay with him afterwards and not to leave him alone. Re-visiting such a trauma should only happen in a safe and controlled environment and it was to be expected that it would trigger some bad memories and nightmares. As for why he is different: I think he’s different because of all he went through and because his brain is slowly healing. He can’t hide as much as he did in the past because of the repercussions of his depression, PTSD and stroke - he knows he has to face his demons to get better.

@zeffy001: It was a tough day for him. After the seizure, he is no longer angry–just exhausted and vulnerable and probably is thinking about how he has become “a fucking mutant.” He knows that Carrie has seen the video and that she is the only person who can handle showing it to him with respect and without drowning in horror and confusion. It is such a beautiful moment between them, because he trusts her to support him.
