I see it like this: He's a professional killer. Professional killers don't "feel bad" when they kill people. Brody was a terrorist and earlier in the season, he stabbed a knife through his hand for "effect". Now suddenly, we're supposed to believe that Quinn has a conscience because he saw Brody praying to Allah? If anything, that scene and the results seem to indicate that Quinn was on Abu Nazir's side, at least from my perspective.

I think the meeting with Estes happened so that he'd release Saul, who in turn would make sure that Abu Nazir's burial rites were performed correctly. [Reply]

I do too. They teased that possibility early with his wife leaving him, not to mention giving the terrorist girl the means to kill herself in prison before she gave up anything workable.
I think Saul is the mole, and Quinn is there trying to flush him out. [Reply]

And by all that I think Saul has become disenchanted with America and all her secrets, especially since it has seemingly cost him his family. [Reply]

I'd take that.
I hope the new season focuses more on Saul than Carrie because she's played out, IMO. Plus, the Carrie-Brody sex scenes are boring. It's not porn, it's like romance novel garbage. Don't waste my time.
Mandy Patinkin is amazing on this show. F. Abraham Murray's character was interesting and I'd like to see that relationship explored a little further. [Reply]
