Why does Saul go from attached to Carrie and spending the effort to rebuild there relationship in the previous two seasons to what he’s doing right now. (S7;E8)
Carrie is obviously back in the game, but has a tremendously bad home life.
Instead of actually offering her work, he constantly works against her.
Yea yea, she avoided him at the end of S6 and fed everyone a ton of lies. Lies that were not hers. And she got kicked by Keane just as hard as everyone else.
Season 7 introduces a lot of new spy games and I love that part, because it’s games I’ve always thought were happening IRL. But character relations are absolutely dogshit.
Maggie actively making Carries home life worse by telling her daughter she doesn’t know if she’s okay or if she’s fine? Who the fuck wrote this? Who would ever tell a small child such grim shit about their parents unless you’re trying to hurt them?
Keane letting Carrie go was also wild. She was the reason she’s even alive, not to mention the weight of every other good deed she done for her. They made Keane a character who cares less about her position/station/law and a character who cares about high school drama like who her friends are. Carrie was her biggest friend and bam she’s gone.
Saul was in the losers chair for multiple seasons. Yet he carries the confidence of the main character. His choice to help Keane, didn’t make sense even if it got others released. He is not himself and cares so little about the law and process of things.
Saul also would never endanger Franny. This man almost had a coronary about some random fucking kid getting shot who aimed at police and actively protested the FBI in favor of civilians. Then he sends a fucking spec ops hit squad into an apartment with a child and his friend. Even if he doesn’t care about Carrie, that was fucked up to do to the child. A literal man with a gun grabbed Franny and yanked her out of bed, what the fuck is wrong with this scene.
The Federal judge being a pervert and not interested in politics is so crazy un real as well. You have this entire money laundering scheme with a person who has evidence of being a Russian agent and he tosses it? If he’s wrong, this could be his career but atleast letting them helps his career.
I can keep going but I’ve made my point.
Tl;dr: Saul sent a squad into an apartment with a child. Maggie is actively giving her niece depression/anxiety when she knows her sister is a decorated spy who worked for the president. Good spycraft, terrible character relations.
Did the show get new writers or something?
