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.
