1994 Toyota Celica posted:i hope in the next season Fogg has to spend even more time out in the field I'd think given how much she wanted to be at Brakebills and use magic a Brakebills classroom is a real possibility. Could be something more outright comforting given what the pursuit of magic ended up doing to her, if she had a happy family life then her family home for instance. I really liked the suit callback with Fogg, was nice to see that rad custom order do crazy magic BS. Fun to see more varied uses of magic in this episode too, we got the now standard instant slices, telekinesis, and blasts of force, but also a tiny fireball, instant teleport, and people turned into puppies. Good stuff all around, and I'm totally on board to see a proper magic free for all next episode. We haven't seen Alice doing full-bore battle magic in quite awhile, I'm keen to see her bust out crazy light-based attacks while hopped up on extra magic.

She’s still out there and the McAllisters could end up being a long term villain for the next season once the immediacy of the twin gods is wrapped up. VV Didn't that feature prominently in the Renard stuff? Macdeo Lurjtux fucked around with this message at 01:15 on Apr 13, 2019 |

Julia's happy place is probably under that table with the fillory map she and Q drew as kids.

Well gently caress. I'm still pretty sure there's going to be a flip once Eliot's actually back and it's going to resolve the Q/Alice story, but given how clearly on-point the writing has been this season--even if it makes sense for Quentin to kind of question everything at the moment--was a huge misstep and it sucks. I was so sure that speech to the plant was going to end with Q admitting the only thing he's loved about Fillory is the time he got to spend with Eliot that I kept waiting for it, and hoo boy did that not happen. I like what they've done with Q, I like what he's said about growing up, but bruh. ETA: I guess Arjun Gupta tweeted the other day that he doesn't know (I don't buy that), but that it isn't the end of the road for Quentin and Eliot, and that the writers are aware of what that relationship might mean for the characters and in a broader storytelling context. One thing I realized after watching the episode is just how invested in that I managed to get right after the Eliot episode this season, and how it's just managed to build up since then? I didn't expect it, and I'm positive it's just how incredible that duo of episodes were, but there was something about seeing something completely new on TV that I didn't expect but felt totally natural was gratifying even if it didn't immediately apply to my context. Either way, watch them kill Q or Eliot and reveal it was one of them getting off the elevator. ETA2: Okay I've fallen into a rabbit hole (topical on 2 fronts) but nevermind that previous worry check this out because I 100% missed it: https://twitter.com/ellelipson/status/1116115021233176578 Sab Sabbington fucked around with this message at 14:50 on Apr 13, 2019 |

1994 Toyota Celica posted:elliot had his chance and he loving blew it Yeah, that is kind of the point of that whole painful memory for Elliot. He blew his chance at happiness with Q there so it's not too surprising that it might not pan out for the two of them. That said, Q's explanation for why he forgave Alice felt weird to me. Forgiving her by putting himself in her shoes and understanding that she thought she was doing the right thing I could buy, but his reasoning is basically "you suck but I should have expected it". Her actions betrayed them but they did come from good intentions, I'm not sure never trusting anyone ever is the right thing to take away here.

I think it was when they had this "Was this just me finally finding a way to commit suicide?" chat where I realized they were really going a long drat way otherwise. Also I feel that the Fresh Prince Josh is getting overlooked here. geeves posted:There's a theory on reddit that if Quentin returns, it will tie into Quentin's previous journey to the underworld in Season 2. I really hope this isn't the case. I mean for one I'd look like a dumb rear end for buying in, but it feels like the sort of gimmick that this show is better than.
