Probably part that and part so that folks didn't think something was off with the broadcast. Goofuses confused by that sequence in Last Jedi aside, it would have been a long segment to run totally silent. By the way, did anyone catch the ASL for 'Fillory'? I didn't see it spelled out, so I'm curious how they rendered it.

Fast Luck posted:I think because the footsteps made noise. I don't think they muted any of the sound for us, I think there just was basically no sound other than some walking now and then. It isn't as if they showed the head librarian speaking but we couldn't hear it. They just didn't verbally speak. There were several Harriet scenes that were muted versions of things we had already seen, or would see. The planning scene as well as the actual library heist all had sound, we just didn't hear it during her story. I really loved it, it was incredibly compelling and the choice to make the shattering glass at the end have sound was so jarring. It topped the mosaic story for me, and I had thought for sure that was going to be the high point of this season.

I like that both times this season they leaned into an in-universe device or reason for our perspective to switch between characters Penny was the cause of it, and both times we Saw brief snippets of Eliot in peril in a suitably crazy situation, either fleeing from cannibals or on trial before a marsupial judge. It's also really stood out to me how much stuff happens between episodes and the audience is just trusted to know what's up. We don't see Penny put himself in a book and get sent to the underworld, it's just poof he's there at the start. After Penny's death we don't see them working out how they're going to stay in touch with him, it's just wham singing fish with the key hung under it. We don't see them putting little number tags on the keys, but there they are. I'm sure I'm missing glaring examples, and I've felt like it's been going on since the start of the show, but those are the ones that jump out at me. For my taste a little bit too much takes place off-screen, but I wish more shows would follow the Magicians' lead and give characters more agency to further their various goals or even make minor changes to their situations between episodes. I wasn't expecting the latest faerie development but I totally should have, I just didn't pick up on the clues for whatever reason. It totally makes sense for humans to go after magic by any means necessary, and I have to think snorting magic cocaine is a direct callout to how magicians are addicted to magic and it's just like a drug to many of them. We've seen them be suicidal without it, left with a purposeless life like the Dean, and our main characters are doing all kinds of crazy stuff to bring it back despite ample evidence that it's done way more harm than good. Also on the faerie front, I hope the show doesn't have the faeries on earth and Fillory know about each other or have a way of communicating, so we get the dichotomy of the Earth faeries being subservient and basically helpless in a world run by humans while the Fillory faeries have mostly been running the show while Fillory is left with no magic to rely on, and likewise being more vulnerable because it has fewer humans and has been far more directly reliant on magic. Seems more interesting that way for me to see two identical magical creatures shaped by their surroundings to be in vastly different situations.

I'd probably just do what Alice was going to do and find a way to get myself hooked up with some kind of demihuman infection. Vampire, werewolf, demonic possession. Honestly, being an empowered immortal in a world of non-magic users sounds like a pretty sweet gig.

With so much of the stories being about depression, I understand if they don’t want to show a bunch of characters just choosing death. (Even complicated by the fact that presumably they know the Underworld exists.) But one has to presume that was an option a lot of people took.

So, hey, how has nobody literally used the phrase "fairy dust" yet? Because as soon as I realized it was ground up fairies (I honestly didn't think to figure it out so it hit me as soon as I saw the fairy's leg was chopped off) I laughed my rear end off. Here's this gruesome scene and I'm laughing because this show's cocaine analogy is... cocaine. Should've known from the start because that's the most on-the-nose clue ever.

Well Hale Appelman is pretty much the only one of them that can actually sing. They positioned Jade Tailor/Kady as being able to sing but it seemed kind of off to me, like they just dubbed her.

Whalley posted:Was that episode like thirty minutes or something? So many loving commercials jesus Just as many as usual it seems. If you go back and look at hour-long shows, in the 70s and 80s they were up close to 50 minutes. They've been creeping down ever since, now they're 40-43 minutes.

I think it was more that he is one of the main characters in the books, and they've struggled with how to bring him into the main group since he was never part of it really in the show. So now that they Unity Key says that he's part of the gang, he'll probably be promoted to series regular next season. Still can't believe he was Frasier's son on Frasier, appearing on pretty much every season. cochise posted:You know I'm not that big a fan of Under Pressure as covered by the cast of The Magicians.
