They fucked his character up so much I wish they killed him last year.Jesus Christ, Quinn. Just jeez.

Fuck what the hell are they doing with Quinn, he doesn't strike me as a PTSD type of guy so the writers just 180º his character and that is stupid.

What is a PTSD type of guy?
Nobody seems like a pTSD type of guy until they develop it.
It's the most realistic thing to happen to a character that has gone through what Quinn has.
Less resilient psychologically but quoting a study:
PTSD is positively related to negative emotionality, neuroticism, harm avoidance, novelty-seeking and self-transcendence, as well as to trait hostility/anger and trait anxiety.
(seem like Quinn? guess not)
They simply need to rule him out of the story for now and this was the excuse

Are they really going to have the intelligence community be behind a false flag attack to discredit the president? Pretty ironic plot line given real world events.
The Return
Carrie follows a lead; Saul meets an old friend; Keane takes a stand.
Good episode, they're really keeping me intrigued about this conspiracy.
Episode 6 Spoilers
Nice touch leaving Nina Hoss' name off the credits until the very end. So many shows neglect to do that and it ruins surprise appearances for me. I'm glad it was Astrid, I thought it was that private contractor for a second.
Yeah, hated the first three episodes or so and almost quit again but Quinn's hilarious meltdown was kinda worth it, lol. Maybe they telegraphed a bit too obviously where this season is going in the first episode, but we'll see.Finally caught up. Felt like the season started off a bit slowly but it's gotten more interesting. I thought the most recent one was really entertaining. I let out a "holy shit" when Quinn shot the guy throwing rocks lol
Episode 6 spoilers
Yeah it was pretty good, finally picking up the pace, but Carrie just being incompetent as hell all season and just stumbling into clues is getting on my nerves. She used to get shit done, a few seasons ago she would have leg shotted that guy in the house and gotten answers out of him. I also don't care at all about the president elect, and them torturing Quinn for like the third season in a row is depressing.
I want them to go full ham with the shadow company behind the attack, straight up Bob Page Deus Ex shit. Would make it all a lot more fun.
"Positively correlated" is not "prerequisite for"
PTSD's strongest correlation is, duh, to trauma. I'd say Quinn definitely got his share.
The single study you quote here is on the personality traits that can lead to a vulnerability of PTSD.
It is not the definitive on the personality types that develop it. There's a varying rate of occurrence of PTSD after repeated traumatic experiences in just about EVERY personality type.
Quinn is an assassin who has not only gone through multiple traumatic experiences related to his field but has just gone through one major one that has possibly left him permanently handicapped. That he would be experiencing the effects of PTSD is not at all strange, regardless of what you thought about his personality beforehand.
So am I missing something, or is the Quinn storyline just a remarkable coincidence wrt the location of his target?

I liked Homeland because I could generally believe it was plausible, but this circumstance is awful.
You mean the guy across the street from them? He's been spying on Carrie's place, so, it's anything but it's a coincidence. We don't know the full story yet but he's there for a reason.
Good episode, they're really keeping me intrigued about this conspiracy.

Quinn's plot has just been off the rails stupid pretty much since he stumbled into Jihad Doctors Without Borders-ville last season.
She went back to her house while that dude trying to kill her has an apartment across the street?
I knew as soon as Conlin stared to believe Carrie thathe was going to get killed off that episode. Can't have that!
The storyline for this season at least seems to now be going somewhere, even if the coincidental random events remain as artificially created and as bizarrely outlandish as usual.
Like, why would the guy who plants the bomb in Seiku's van just happen to be the guy tasked with spying on Carrie?
Just popping in to say the latest season has been the best so far.
Well, that's why you watch the show to find out
