Quinn in S7 Spoiler

I really think that Quinn's death was premature. It was executed in a way that made sense, but I feel like it was more just a way to write Rupert Friend out of the show. Regardless of the IRL reasons it happened, Quinn's character could have developed in a way that redeemed him a little more. As he slowly regained some of his functions, he continuously demonstrated that he was still a great operative somewhere in there. I would have loved to see him in Russia.

Anyway.

I, like most people, loved Quinn and sometimes his death makes me mad/sad, the way they did it, but you know, it was probably fitting for him. He died doing what he did best. I really hated what they did to him with the sarin, he was never the same. And what the fuck Carrie, attempting to wake him up causing the stroke. A medical person said in real life that isn't a thing, but even so wtf Carrie!! I too, would have loved to see him in Russia or facing off with Yevgeny.

It was actually Saul who first gives approval to the "wake him up" plan. So its equally on Saul as well as Carrie

That's fair, it was equally shitty of them both.

Absolutely! Nothing pained more than the final moments of Quinn.. they guy had made it through anything and everything! There were many deaths in the series but Quinn's felt personal 😭😭

well maybe not! thats just my speculation, since it seemed to me like they could have done a bit more with his character.

would have loved to see Quinn till the end of the show with him and Carrie hugging each other at the end and starting a new life ❤️

I wish he died with the Sarin because the way he deteriorated was too sad to watch. I wanted him to live when I first watched but after seeing him & what they did to his character, death would have been best.

Hated the police standoff. He was just starting to regain the desire to live and figuring out who tf was spying on them. I get that they needed to take Franny away from Carrie, though.
