Emily Walker is credited as Landlady according to imdb. I applaud that casting decision for several reasons as well. Perhaps it was a fleeting moment of passion or a mercy f*ck but it was great seeing the interaction between Quinn and her. It humanizes his character. The actress really sold me on the it-was-good-while-it-lasted pathos from a woman who's been "rode hard" by life. Her brief valedictory remark to Quinn was touching.
So far this season the series intrigues as much as the first season. The writing has been spectacular once again taking a female lead into unchartered territory. Claire Danes is very convincing as an emotionally numb Carrie unwilling to put anything before the mission. I'm anxious to see whether Quinn will be able to crack that shell this season. But, for some reason I foresee the Carrie & Quinn love story as the greatest one never realized. Hopefully, it doesn't turn out tragically.
