Theory: Quinn is not human or an immortal


He is way too resilence for a human and keeps coming back from the dead. Also notice how casually he taunts others to stab or kill him, because he know hes unkillable.

Bet he will appear next season.

I wouldn't put it past the people making this show, but I'd be mildly surprised if he wasn't finally dead.

My biggest issue with his coming back to life via Vail's magical rescue is she was willing to help kill the widow via poison for reasons that aren't completely clear, yet she can't just allow the guy who killed her parents to die, and actively helps heal him. I can't stand that kind of crap in a show. Either she's willing to kill people or she's not. Don't make it up just b/c plot needs some help.

Yeah no it's just called bad writing. The kind of bad writing that has invincible villains who always have incredible luck because the writers are too bad to know what to do if they kill them.

The stupid thing in many TV shows is that villains never die and always have an out at the last second because of magic plot (i.e. writers who have no clue what to do and keep their villain alive stupidly thinking "Brilliant! Brilliant!" while the audience cringes and gets exasperated by it all).

Even here, Quinn is stabbed deep by Sunny through his core which very likely shattered his spine, tore through his organs like stomach, intestine etc. and has lost a lot of blood.

Yet! he comes back to life hale and somewhat hearty. Veil supposedly has carried him injured from that place to somewhere she can treat him all by herself with no one else watching and has repaired his cut organs, spine and nursed him back to decent health and then gave birth to a boy and has a full x-ray machine at her new place and is living with Quinn, presumably with more closeness than before.

All this sounds wonderfully stupid

he also, if this is possible, becomes more breathy/smarmy/hammy as this (awful) show progresses, hmmmm?

if the first stick didnt kill him, why should the second? except, doh, he killed his back-up doctor - oh well.

they really should put a fork in it at this point - 2 seasons in, absolutely no development of the master race,
in favor of endless kungfu fighting. largely a bait & switch involving endless dancing around a book & compass & lethal women & kungfu.

i'm out.
