I wish they explained Quinn's miraculous recovery somehow

Remember how last season the doctors were saying that even if he survives, he'd be a vegetable? And that was why Carrie was about to unplug him?

I think he was supposed to die in the end of the last season, but the backlash from the audience was so strong that they decided to bring him back under some pretense.

They used to talk about "severe brain hemorrhage" but in the newest episode they just said "stroke". People are known to fully recover from stroke, and I think that's what will happen with Quinn. (fingers crossed)

I want to see Quinn recover. Just to dot Dar's eye for starts.

[–] Apis (1624) 8 years ago

That would be great. 🍻

Dar needs leather goods. A belt to the mouth and a boot to the rear Apis.

He had nerve gas poisoning, and now he found out Carrie made the doctors bring him out of a coma to get some questions answered. That was the cause of his state now. He woke up and coughed up major blood when they did that. So to make him recover completely would be silly. Its a miracle he survived but completely unrealistic if he woke up one day completely cured.

And what exactly is it that you are even replying to here? He wasn't supposed to recover at all! The doctors said he'd be a vegetable at best, and now look at him.

Quinn's seemingly unwrapping all the elements of the conspiracy this season, if a half-vegetable can do this in real life regarding our own government conspiracies, get them hired!

Look at what Carrie said about his instincts being right. Whatever happened to him last season, it didn't take away that unique quality that Quinn has in being able to put stuff together. Even in the diminished state he's in he can still be trusted.

Agreed, and he has done good work for Carrie and Saul, some of it indirectly, this season for sure!

Quinn is playing cat and mouse game with that guy (right now Quinn is the cat), and Carrie is also back to her old self it seems, making that wall of pictures.

EDIT: but Quinn might become a mouse soon, as we saw that Alex Jones character is making up a story about him (we saw Quinn's picture on his computer)
