"I think it's pretty obvious that Carrie and Quinn have this, sometimes, disastrous effect on one another, whereby it's sort of like a dangerous black hole that pulls you in and once you're in it, then bad things happen."
-Rupert Friend {x}

"Carrie has various kind of touchstones, and one of them is Saul, obviously, who’s a great figure of conscience and gravitas. And I think Quinn is increasingly becoming another.
Although because he's volaitile as she is, they're almost like two north pole magnets. It's pretty dark because like the sirens who sat on the rocks to lure the sailors...
Carrie is very much that for Quinn, and he knows it, and he still can't say no."
-Rupert Friend {x}

"If there is romantic energy between them it's at a very nascent state. Carrie's emotions have been engaged elsewhere, so it's unclear how she feels about him.
I think it’s pretty clear how he feels about her. But whether Carrie Mathison is going to be emotionally available for a romantic entanglement is another question entirely."

I'm so glad these two have a thread now. Please add me? :flowers:

Please add me :)

Thanks for creating this thread. I've always enjoyed them together.

Added you both, welcome! :wave: :hug:

This hiatus will suck so much!:thud:

Season finale was the best Christmas gift ever for someone like me... who has been waiting for them to happen for 3 seasons! Bittersweet ending, can't wait to see their relationship in S5. It was a bit of a dickish move to demand from Carrie an answer and go on a mission like Quinn did, but right now he's the only one who really knows her and understands her condition and he has never used it to manipulate her. They are both so ****ed up and so in love, this relationship could be the best thing that ever happened to them. :sigh: I hope we won't find out what's in that letter, even if I want to.

"Come on, you know my ****."
"You know mine."

These lines encapsulate their relationship prefectly.

When I first saw them on screen together during s2 I said out loud, "I can't wait for them to bang!" :lol: The chemistry was palpable right away, but I'm SO glad they weren't just a throwaway one-night-stand or something like that. What we've actually seen develop on screen over the last 3 seasons has exceeded all expectations. And that finale just about killed me! :thud:

I know, just one more month, it felt like forever! Their chemistry is great, so I can't wait for some tension filled scenes. :thud:

I know HL is not about the happy ending and everyone is destined to be miserable, but I hope for some semblance of happiness, like in this video.

that is so beautiful :love:

i've these on my youtube's favs, (you probably have seen them already :lol:)

I've seen them like 100 times. :lol: They're awesome. :nod:

Speaking of favorites:

It's funny how in every interview Rupert says that Quinn and Carrie are so bad for each other, like they are the worst couple ever. :lol: He's right in a way, they are two characters with strong personalities who work so well together, but have so many intimacy issues that their romantic relationship could end up in a disaster. I still want to see it though. :P

Hi - Can you add me too? I am really a little bit obsessed with Carrie and Quinn at the moment :embarrassment:

I think it was one of those moments when you didn't realise that you shipped a couple so much until they kissed and then you're just like :eek::eek:

These are my thoughts on the C/Q dynamic in the finale:

Quinn. Gosh, where do I start? Quinn started the Season on self destruct, being confronted over his feelings for Carrie, then basically acknowledged that she is his weak spot when he agreed, despite his intense protestations over joining her. I thought it was interesting watching Carrie lean on Quinn so heavily this season, and yet he wasn't afraid to confront her when he thought what she was doing was wrong. (It seems to me like you're ******ing a child!) Carrie's not used to being challenged so this was a really interesting dynamic to watch. And he didn't take the shot against Haqanni (sp.?) at the end. And that was because Carrie told him not to.

And then there was the kiss. I thought this was a real emotional pay off for both Carrie and Quinn fans this season. What is interesting about this relationship is how many people have been against it because of Brody's death last season. But it's so much more than that. The relationship between Carrie and Quinn has been building since they met in Season Two. It's been very very obvious that Quinn has always had feelings for Carrie (the looks when Brody was in the room, the elongated stares between the two across car parks - aren't they always in car parks?!) and he would quite literally do anything for her, even if it's not in his interests. Let's face it, most of the things that Quinn does for Carrie could end up in his death!!

In this finale episode, we saw Quinn vulnerable. But not just vulnerable in a kind of 'let's drink ten bottles of vodka and sleep with some random girl' vulnerable. In a really happy and in love, 'this is how I feel about you and this is what I want for our future' kind of vulnerable. I would wager Quinn has never said anything like this to anyone before. But much as we see Quinn put it all on the line, he's not ready yet. He reacts in a very 'old Quinn' way when she says she's not ready. New Quinn might have waited. But Quinn, much like Carrie, has his demons. And hey, the show isn't nearly done yet. I'm sure there's much more to come from these two.

Yes, the Carrie's Mother storyline was quite dull. But then again, it wasn't really about Carrie's Mother. It was about us realising why Carrie is the way she is, and why she was the way she was with Brody, and why she pulled away from a moment of happiness with Quinn, determined that she would 'just ****** it up.' This was showing us that Carrie can do it, she can be happy and perhaps she will be... but not just yet, because hey, the show isn't done yet! It's showing us the possibilities for her character.

The moments in which Carrie tried desperately to contact Quinn after the conversation with her Mother were, in my opinion, the most tense and the most heart breaking of the entire season. Here she is, realising that she has her long-haul guy ready and waiting in the wings.... but he's gone.

This episode, more than anything, showed us the nature of the world that these characters live in. Normal life and happiness is dangled in front of them, and then taken away from them. And that each of them, Saul, Carrie, Quinn, even Dar Adal.... their characters have been shaped by their experiences in the CIA and irrepairably damaged by the country that they're trying so hard to protect.

Not sure they'll kiss or even have sex this season but there will be intimate moments. How could there not be? I really don't think the writers will abandon this ship. They've spent a long time building it, carefully crafting Quinn's character changes till we see that stripped bare vulnerability we see in that stunning kiss scene. Carrie may be seeing someone else but that doesn't really mean anything in the terms of TV. This new Jonas doesn't know who Carrie really is. Quinn does. I think that's why that scene was so powerful.

'You know my ****.' 'You know mine.'
'I've seen you at your worst.'

Even Brody didn't see Carrie in the state that Quinn has seen her in. C/Q end game for me. Definitely.

Welcome to the thread and to :ff:,:wave: Great first post, I couldn't agree more! I added you. :)

I loved them from the beginning, I couldn't stand Brody and his relationship with Carrie. It wasn't healthy in any way, they were both just using each other. It was an obsession rather than a relationship.

Did you see alternate C/Q kiss scene from 4x12?

Cars are their thing, no doubt about it.

Carrie's mother storyline was just lazy writing, but I understand writers' intentions. What I loved the most about that episode is the fact that Carrie was so genuinely happy. Despite her father's death she recovered peace of mind, she found her serenity. She was so relieved when Quinn came back, she bonded with her daughter, she found out she isn't destined to be alone for the rest of her life.

I'm still mad at Quinn that he left, he didn't even give Carrie a chance to think about it. She never said no. It was like now or never for him. :(

Brody was a piece of ****. He didn't understood her illness and he never took her seriously.

Thanks for the welcome! So glad I've found somewhere to talk Carrie and Quinn. I wouldn't like to confess how many times I've watched the kiss scene :D

Have you seen the trailers for the new season? I'm really hoping that they are gonna pursue the storyline. I don't mean obviously make it the centre of the show because that's not what Homeland is about but I'm hoping that we get little pockets of intimacy like we got last season, showing Quinn's walls breaking down. Eventually. ;)

Me too, this thread was dead for so long, and today I added three new fans.:lol:

The Kiss was a pretty good Christmas present. :D And 'You know my ****.' 'You know mine.' was like their version of 'I love you'

I've seen them all and I'm very excited for this season. Seems like Carrie and Quinn will be on opposite sides of the barricades. Quinn is in a robot mode, killing everyone without mercy and Carrie is enjoying the family life with Frannie and Jonas. Their reunion should be interesting. I never wanted them to become strangers. Even if they don't take things to the next level, I want them to stay close friends. They understand each other and forgive for repeated mistakes.
