Ailianna,
Listen, I don't know you guys, so please don't take this wrong, but it offends me -- these comments like "serious mental health problem" — I don't blame you, I blame Homeland, who went from intelligent, beautiful, authentic portrayal of post-war Traumatic Brain Injury — and then failed to explain it, pinning on PTSD via Carrie --- possibly just too get the cops to understand, but the reality is that wasn't PTSD, it's brain injury that's why he can't make decisions or decipher; articulate his words. In his mind he understands it, but he can't communicate it. It's why his personality is vastly different. And now they are going to throw him in a psych ward.
I hope everyone can enjoy the show, but please understand this is not a accurate portrayal of "PTSD" at this point. That's TBI. It always has been. Incredibly exploitative and inaccurate. If they want a PTSD label they can go back to season one with Brody, sleeping on the floor, sitting in a corner, that's pretty great POW performance.
Hats off to Rupert, he's phenomenal. But they are fucking it up by not packaging it right.
Thank you.
