“I need your help.”
This day in Homeland - April 30, 2014
“Both prone to rash decisions made with unshakable fervor, these two characters get each other in a way perhaps only dysfunctional twin siblings might. It’s how Carrie knew Quinn wouldn’t hurt her if she stepped into his eventual blast zone. For all Saul and Lockhart’s talk this season of how individual CIA lives are expendable when weighed against the greater good, that’s now how Quinn operates, and Carrie knows it.” –Price Peterson
I’M AT A SAFE DISTANCE
Carrie/Quinn + lack of personal space [insp.]
Yes, a Carrie Mathison meltdown is one of Homeland’s most predictable tropes by this point, but for the first time, Homeland visually and aurally represented what Carrie experiences when her bipolar symptoms kicks in. Paranoia, sensitivity to lights and sounds, and, most upsetting, her inability to distinguish strangers from trusted friends. A sequence in which an ordinary walk through the streets of Islamabad turned into a frightening, emotional gauntlet (complete with an imagined shootout) was as harrowing as anything Homeland’s presented so far.
