The moment it was revealed that Margo had the common sense to bring a gun to fairyland is the moment I fell in love with her character.

Must be pretty easy to stage a coup in Fillory. All you have to is to tell someone a prophecy saying that the highking must be dethroned and they won't even ask why.

Margo overthrows an oppressive patriarchal society while the rest of the group accomplish exactly nothing

NowonSA posted:Margo's story in this latest episode suited her, but I kind of wish it wasn't so explicitly about patriarchy holding women down. I think a subversion like "no, seriously these men are all that can protect us." would have been worse, so I guess I'd rather they come across as more bumbling dumb desert nomads who don't understand how the red spirits worked than the evil men keeping women in their place.

I honestly thought that Quentin was really bland and boring, so I'm not too sad to see him go.

Rhyno posted:Q's history as the show portrays it hits home on a lot of stuff I've tried to repress. I've not suffered from long term depression but the number of times I've been depressed and despaired in my life in incalculable. I'm not stranger to the 72 hour psyche hold either. Growing up I was always told I was special, that I was going to be great, do great things. And now, 4 decades in, my life is exceptionally unimpressive. I have a good life with a wonderful partner but had I not met her 10 years ago I doubt I'd have been able to keep my head above it all this time. Depression doesn't excuse how he portrayed Penny in his mind

Chef Boyardeez Nuts posted:I identify with Q because I, too, was a whiny entitled 20 something manchild who gets way more credit than he should for at least trying to be better because the bar for middle class white American males is so comically low. Both Q and Julia are people who think that they're the super special chosen ones. To Q's credit he doesn't, unlike Julia, immediately gets radicalized and joins a criminal organisation the moment he learns that he isn't.

Kinda disappointed that the show let a man chose to take away a woman superpowers for selfish reasons and he's still portrayed as likable.

I guess it makes sense for the Binder to ask Penny because the Binder was portrayed as a sexist jerk. But Penny should've realized how hosed up his decision was on his own.

Never build a dungeon you can't get out of. And this season (and honestly the last one too) makes me wish that Margo and her plotlines was the centerpiece of this show, The rest of the characters just aren't that interesting compared to her.

Anne Whateley posted:I'm not offended I just think it's dumb. It was never an open relationship before, and "he cheated and that's totes cool" is not exactly a good way to open it. She had sex with the ice axes guy a couple of episodes later, it was never an exclusive relationship. And it fits both the character and her state of mind to say what she said.

So, I'm pretty sure the Takers ara a false flag thing intended to make the dark king look good. And Penny 23 has inherited original Penny's bad luck it seems.

STAC Goat posted:It never should have got there. But again, credit to the show and Quentin that he eventually figured that out and took his part of the responsibility. Its a testament to his character and the show that by the time he died I not only didn't hate him but actually felt bad. Julia made him think he was mentally ill again and forced him to relive a traumatic experience, but then again Quentin was too busy with magic school to hang with her so I guess he had it coming.

Julia violated Quentin, Quentin ignored Julia. Those two things are not comparable at all. There is no dual responsibility here.
