The female half-Muggle reminds me too much of Laurel on Arrow whom I still absolutely hate.

Trying to listen to the audiobooks, I'm glad they aged up everyone to grad students.

I really hope the show doesn't suck because as a grad student named Q who takes antidepressants

The spell that Quentin was casting in the preview, I can't even get my hands in that position because my middle fingers are so much longer than my index fingers.

I wonder if hand shape was part of the casting process.

Even CalTech takes in more than 20 students per year. It makes for bad television, but more importantly, the tiny student body would be conspicuously distracting.

It's said in the book that there's one school in the UK, a few across the continent of Europe, a few in Asia, 1 in New Zealand, and 1 in Tasmania. I would assume there's a Caribbean school, since there's a Jamaican professor in the books. Same goes for an African school, but it's not mentioned.
What kind of moron would have a school in both New Zealand and Tasmania but not in Australia?

Not that I'm complaining but it seems the point of the last few episodes was to get Olivia Taylor Dudley in as few clothes as possible.
Ahem, Margo is the best looking person in the show. :colbert:

I feel like I don't understand anything about the metaplot. I know the Beast is from Fillory which is a fictional place in some kids books except it's actually real and Quinn has dreams about a character from Fillory called Jane Chatwin and the Beast wants to kill Quentin for some unknown reason, but I don't understand any reason or connection between these things.

That was weird but I kind of gave it a pass because it theoretically served a purpose to get Alice and Quentin past their issues and have them hook up because they gave in to their "animal nature" or something.

But of course 3 episodes later Quentin gets drunk and cheats on her in a threesome so I dunno. Show's just unnecessarily sexually kinky. But its on the network that has a show that's basically someone having the super power of sex so I guess I'm not super surprised.
Is that Lost Girl or something?

In a show full of absurdly attractive people Olivia Taylor Dudley is insanely pretty. I like how the after-preview was throwing quotes from S1 at the screen and they had to make sure "sexy people" was one of them.
You meant to say Margo but I'll forgive you.

I think the CGI is above average given the limitations of the show.

Also, the final scene where Julia and Marina are smoking made me thankful that there was a show like this with protagonists my age. Well, at least the age I imagine myself to be.

Which, actually, I guess Jane was right about in a round about way. And I guess you could argue that being raped and traumatized is better than being murdered by the Beast. But Jane's still a dick.

Niffin-Alice is definitely giving Harvey / Head-Scorpius a run for best mentally-projected character in a show on a science fiction network. Sorry, not sorry, Head-Six, your plan was dumb and I don't want to watch Baltar jerk it.
Head-Six had much better outfits though. :colbert:

How much stuff was affected by the wellspring and the plumber turning off magic? Our world and Fillory yes, but is the Library beyond that?

Where do the fairies exist relative to all this? And the Underworld? Is Fillory basically just another planet?

"Musical?"

The absurdity of the show is its strength and I'm glad they got around to giving no shits and embraced it. Everything about that episode rocked.
The best part is that I think most people probably would consider "Once More With Feeling" and "Hush" to be the best 2 episodes of Buffy. Hooray for not just pop culture references but correct pop culture references!

Yeah. In their first seasons, this show felt like an afterthought compared to The Expanse. Although it helps that their schedules aren't synced up anymore, The Magicians has become a show I must see the night it airs.

How are fairies weak without deals if they have magic? Seems like that would put them ahead of non-magic types like the Lorians.

Based on the music during the credits, it seems like Penny's "it's something much worse" is referring to The Beast. But is he really that much worse than The Monster?
