Just noticed the actor who plays Josh was in an episode of The Office. He was the kid who was maybe gonna be an intern in the episode where they go to the school career fair.

I was going to react with angry disagreement as well, but my brother pointed out that Josh was not at the bonfire scene. I had to concede the point, for now. But I shall be correct in the long run.

eke out posted:my recollection is that over the course of the first season it went from "okay" to "actually this is pretty good?" and then after that it's legit good Had it on the background all day today doing some data entry, looked up to watch Julie steal some filing cabinets of spells but then her mate just oozed blood everywhere and that was surprisingly cool and brutal so gonna watch it all again properly. From half-watching up to whatever episode that is though, Quentin is likeable enough but I don't know if he's meant to be hapless or a prodigy it seems to vacillate wildly between scenes. I don't buy Alice at all she seems to be both a diligent student learning all the time but then the show tells me she already knows it all and there's apparently no point her being there besides brother drama, seems dumb. Penny is an unlikeable knobhead without a cause, feels like a plot/scene drama device more than a character. I like the bitchy hedge witch but she's not really a compelling villain when they've already shown the moth dude exists. Elliot is good, obviously kind of a 'this is how brakebills works' device but I still like him.

If you're still going around 100% would appreciate hearing your take as a you keep going. I'm desperately looking for a friend to sit down and watch the series through again with me before S5 drops in a few months. I think a lot of your takes are pretty on-point for season 1, and are super intentional (maybe not at the time, but they certainly used that extremely effectively) given how the show's thesis is functionally entirely about them all growing up. Penny especially. Like--all of them, but Penny especially. cool kids inc. posted:Just wrapped this up, and gosh. Peaches and plums, motherfucker.

I'm desperately looking for a friend to sit down and watch the series through again with me before S5 drops in a few months. I just finished the episode where Penny has a tree growing inside his stab wound and Quentin and Alice properly get together. The ice castle could have carried another episode and it felt wasted, Quentin and Alice having this fake drama fox-pheromone-so-is-it-real? stuff was just dumb, they're both beyond normal TV hot and the plot had built a believable connection between them so why soap opera it out, especially when it took time away from the faux-nihilist vodka guy that was the only compelling teacher so far. Penny seemed to briefly be getting fun when he splashed into that classroom but then he went right back to boring arsehole, all the growth he got at the ice castle is just being ignored, I want to like him but the show is pushing this Virgin Quentin vs Chad Penny so hard when the best scenes for both characters are the ones that show that dynamic isn't real. Julia going to the mundane rehab place for implicit magic addiction and the chaplain guy that knows magic is real but is putting his own spin on the understanding of it is good it's the first time I've really found her plot interesting. Elliot is very much carrying the show for me though. His relationship with the blonde dude that he ended up just murking felt very real, like the Elliot character story was always building to him dropping the performatism and finding someone he genuinely cares about, and then having to just kill the guy, it was genuinely good drama and a proper character moment, I'm curious to see how he handles it going forward. Posh english lady murked surprised me.

Elliott and Margo carried season 1 for me. It's about to get real interesting though.

Eltoasto posted:Elliott and Margo carried season 1 for me. It's about to get real interesting though. Margo still feels like a handbag that speaks but yeah the Elliott scenes have been boom. Especially once he got with the blonde guy, the scenes of them being comfortable in bed together really sold the relationship with only a few scant seconds of screentime, there was an easy intimacy there that I think lots of shows would shy away from, and then it led to Elliott being brutal stark. It was good character stuff, and I like Elliott even more now.

If you’re unhappy because it seems like Penny isn’t getting any character growth, I strongly encourage you to keep watching because he has the best arc out of the entire cast.

Unless the entire season was shot and wrapped before S4 started airing it wasn’t the case. They announced the renewal before the first episode even aired. Judging from the scene they aired for S5 they planned that all along and meant for S5 to be a full repudiation of the whole chosen one thing that the books were originally about before the author fell in love with Quentin.

Also everyone except Q and Penny 2 get a set up for their next arc. It didn't feel final at all.

I imagine it felt final to those who need a white dude to identify with. Not an attack on anyone here necessarily. Those ones will out themselves eventually.

DaveKap posted:Like, say... if SyFy decided to drop the show despite how popular it was. Y'know... like that other super popular original they had... The Expanse? Thankfully, the issues with The Expanse don't exist with The Magicians. With the Expanse, SyFy only had first run rights in the US. They didn't have syndication or global distribution rights. They would only make money on advertising the first time around. As it's a very expensive show, it (sadly) made sense for them to cancel it. Thankfully, none of that is true for The Magicians. Plus, The Magicians is cheaper, so they make a lot more money on that show.

"You can't possibly want to be a dick more than you want to live," the show is self-aware about Penny at least.

Alice wasn't pregnant at the end of last season, was she? I'm not asking this in a usual "Goons are bad at watching TV" way, just a thought that occurred to me and I'd be real disappointed if they pulled that old cliche.
