When last seen in the Season 5 Homeland<\/em> finale, Peter Quinn was totally brain dead<\/del> in pretty bad shape after inhaling all that saran gas, and then being forced to WAKE UP by Carrie \u2013 because nobody can say no to her. He then suffered a massive stroke, and wound up in a persistent vegetative state. Carrie was about to put him out of his misery when suddenly the room filled with a bright light, which wasn’t a train coming toward her, a thing that happened earlier in the same episode. (The technical term for this is \u201cforeshadowing with a lead balloon.\u201d) Viewers debated what that light was all about. Did it mean Carrie’s prayers were answered and vegetable-Quinn was about to rise? Would he be a zombie? Would he now have superpowers because that’s what happens in comics when you survive something like that, and Homeland<\/em> is about as realistic as anything in the Marvelverse?<\/p>\n

\"Too<\/a>
Too cute to die.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We won’t know for sure till January when Season 6 begins, but we do know that Quinn will be a central character and not simply an occasional guest hallucination when Carrie is either off her meds like those other guys she has lead to their doom. However, Rupert Friend, the actor what plays him is not quite as indestructible as the demigod he portrays. Friend suffered an on set injury which delayed filming the first two episodes, which were being directed by veteran Homeland<\/em> director Keith Gordon. (The premiere is still set for January.)<\/p>\n

And here’s something I bet you didn’t know: Keith Gordon’s dad, Mark Gordon, played Chuckles the Clown<\/a> on The Mary Tyler Moore<\/em> show before they killed him off in that hilarious and very special classic \u00a0episode. Also Keith Gordon was a leading man for five minutes when he starred in Brian De Palma’s Dressed to Kill<\/a> <\/em>featuring Angie Dickinson, as his very sexy mom, and Michael Caine as the world’s creepiest psychiatrist before Hannibal Lector.<\/p>\n

\"Got<\/a>
Got Milf?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Even back then what Gordon (the younger) really wanted to do, apparently, was direct \u2013 and he did! (Your humble recapper knows this not because she read it in the Wikipedia, but because a hundred years ago she met him and his father at a Directors Guild screening of a re-release of Zardoz<\/em>. It’s funny because it was Zardoz<\/em> \u2013 an epically terrible movie, that like Peter Quinn just can’t be killed.<\/p>\n

\"And<\/a>
And somehow Sean Connery was taken seriously even after this.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

But wait! There’s even more news about Season 6: In the Homelandverse, Hillary gets elected President! Well, not Hillary exactly, but a lady, and not Trump, so we know it doesn’t take place in a post-apocalyptic Zardoz<\/em> like future being run by an enormous rock head. The President will be played by Elizabeth Marvel, who also portrays Heather Dunbar on House of Cards<\/em>. Heather, as you may remember, was running for president until she got owned by the Clintons<\/del> Underwoods. Does this mean Homeland<\/em> will take place in alternate House of Cards<\/em> future, thus becoming the wackiest (and most awesome) crossover ever? Probably not, but we thought it would make a good headline.<\/p>\n
