This 6th season Homeland finale was kind of disappointing, not just because of Quinn's death, but it was also disjointed and incoherent. Right after Quinn's death and "Six weeks later" jump, there was the radio guy "Brett O'Keefe" whose involvement with the black box site was not mentioned nor was he arrested?.

There was also unclear how far Dara Dal was involved and how the delta force were involved with him?....what was the reason behind to take down the president elect?.. We just Carrie get emotional with Saul for the wrong reason and get played by the president and it was kind of a cheap shot not how Homeland ever ended a finale with a cliff hanger, this show has never been about that. What also didn't make sense was that Quinn's character was suppose to be dead last season and even Rupert Friend said, he was brought back unexpectedly this season with this whole new character handicap and then they go through all that to kill him off again this season?
I was really hoping we will see how he will progress with his new condition and even that heroic death was so cliche.

I give this show just one more season; it just loosing it?.

I was not Dumping on the show? WTF are you talking about?
I thought it was a good season too but I didn't care for how the finale was
put together, it just felt rushed and not well put together like other seasons prior to it.
I actually thought this season had so many interesting stories from the 1st episode and
it got even more interesting on how the black site and fake news was revealed.

So you liked it, good for you. I don't agree with most of your points but that your
opinion and how you feel to make sense of disjointed parts that you make an analogy
to the "Economic Meltdown"? . I didn't see the president to be that traumatized after the 6 weeks
later forward, infact the opposite and she first hired Carrie for something but really manipulated
her to do the dirty work and we all saw how she sat in office and refuse to see Carrie, unless you
call being traumatized?...

Homeland was never really about cliff hanger endings and this is what I loved about it, but if you anything about TV shows, when any show reaches past the 5th season they have to really come up with new things or find a way to end it. Alan Ball, from "Six feet Under" said that any show to last over 5 seasons that is really tough and it really has to got to be as good as first season. I felt the finale started good but that little after "Six weeks later" break it became something else, it was like we missed a second act and felt weird incoherent as Homeland I remember it was never that. So yes you can tell yourself all the reasons of "bullet-riddled car" and how it all will take time to make sense but that's where the parts don't fit in the finale, so yes it pushed the riddle to wait to the next season which to me is just cheap shot for a show like Homeland, they never had to do that before.

The beginning was great, then Quinn was killed and everything after that was disappointing. But in the very end it became very interesting again when we learned a thing or two about the new president. Unfortunately, we'll have to wait for the next season to discover more about her agenda. "There is something distinctly unamerican about her".
