Two months later or whatever it was, and it's probably all gone. My take was that she has the knowledge, but she has to re-learn how to use that knowledge in a human body.

Blazing Ownager posted:Why Caught up to this episode and thread to see comments for this. It would've made perfect loving sense drama-wise too seeing Renard is a trickster. It's the logical thing to do, Persephone could've been one of Renard's tricks and a case of the boy who cried wolf with Persephone witnessing her son die due to his own transgressions and nature. Could not fault Julia for wrongly calling the bluff. It would've been poetry. Perfect scene wasted.

Otherwise it makes quite a bit of tertiary characters' screen time and exposition worthless. I need to re-watch, but Reynard already knew Julia aborted his heir, correct? So, what need did he have of her except maybe intrigue? At that point, Julia and Katie also destroyed his "legacy". What was the purpose of Reynard showing up at all a putting on a show? Given Reynard, he may be a trickster, but he's also a braggart. He would opine how he got cute deaf west wing woman to divulge information, etc.

Yeah, I just finished binging through Season 1 on Netflix and I can honestly say that the only way I'm ever watching this again is when and if Season 2 goes up on Netflix, Hulu or Amazon without a rental fee. I can honestly say that the last episode in Season 1 was the most screwed up, unwatchable, disappointing, and just god awful sack of poo poo, 50 minutes of television I'm ever seen. I was truly disturbed by the idea that it was totally acceptable to allow and even precipitate the murder of three people and the mutulation of two others in order to advance your desire to murder someone for sexual assault; that was very hosed up.

The best part of the resolution to the Season 1 finale was Quentin going on a quest to help his friends, giving his blood to some rando tree witch, and it all being resolved almost instantly after he left by Alice still running on Godpaste.

The first season went up in December of 2016. None of that bothered me. What bothered me was ending the season on many really bad cliff hangers. That was super lazy. I rewatched the end of the episode a day later to make sure I hadn't missed another scene at the end of the episode since the actual ending was so awkward.

Trading away her ex-boyfriend's first-born to the faeries was pretty loving moronic. That said, she is the most no-nonsense character on the show and plays that role very well. Penny is a close second, but he can be a really whiny bitch at times.

I was just joking. I mean, clearly they never "dated." But also they kind of do have a "relationship" in every way besides the romance and sex... and well, the sex kind of happened at least once. Even if we don't exactly know their naughty parts touched. I think derisively and insultingly calling them "exes" is not only figuratively fair but also totally within bounds of two characters who would do the same to any of us.

Alhazred posted:Julia willingly joined a group that pretty much had "sudden but inevitable betrayal" as their motto and Alice pissed of a powerful magical monster for shits and giggles. Did we watch the same show? Julia joined a group of people who wanted to make their lives better - they wanted to help each other. Who did Alice piss off at that point? We didn't learn that til the end of season 2. As for Margo, I think Margo expected that after Eliot returned / prevailed they would be able to magic / negotiate the return of his child. Not realizing the rules are very different and despite magic, they do not hold the advantage.

I mean, obviously geeves is referring to Richard's group Julia joins AFTER Marina's goes to poo poo and traumatizes her further. But like, even though Marina's group was always sketchy as hell it still goes back to the part where Julia had been shown a world that Brakesbills and her best friend tried to take from her (and without any grace or comfort) and she was an emotional and mental wreck when someone said "hey, you're not crazy or alone." Millions of people have been lured to bad decisions by that exact same line. Julia isn't an idiot, she's a victim. Before Reynard it was Marina, before Marina it was Quentin, Jane Chatwin, and Brakesbills.

She did a lovely thing to try and get back at a friend who treated her like poo poo. Marina didn't tell her there'd be any true danger and when she realized Quentin was in real trouble she came clean and tried to help. Julia's made a bunch of really bad choices that have hurt people. But she's literally been getting her body, emotions, and mind hosed with by more powerful people (and her best friend) since Episode 1.

coyo7e posted:Wanting to better yourself via black market homebrew magic, sounds a hell of a lot like "sudden but inevitable betrayal" to me. It's not as thought good intentions and betrayel are mutually exclusive. I think you two are talking about two different things I think one of you are talking about Marina and her coven of hedges, and one is talking about Richard and the "lets summon a god" group.

It seems silly to discount the fact that Reynard and his mom were all "you can't kill a god, there will be consequences" and then 2 episodes later they kill a god and there's big consequences.
