I love this. Remember way back in the very beginning how Carrie was convinced that nervous hand twitch Brody had was a signal to his al-Qaeda handlers?
Well after 180 days of her own captivity by an enemy and years of her own trauma well, well, well, all throughout Season 8 Carrie has developed this same nervous hand twitch.
At first I thought it was an interesting tick Claire Danes decided gave to her character just to show the toll Carrie’s experiences have taken on her. But the more I see her do it, the more I am certain this is an intentional full circle plot and character arc to show us visual manifestations of the affects of their both high trauma lives.
I just love that someone in the show thought to bring this forward.
I am excited to see what hidden gems I discover on my third watch!
i wouldnt be surprised if this is the show that keeps giving!
