I feel like I missed an episode, or a lot of episodes, between S4E3 and S4E4. Why is Margo being nice to Josh like at all? What timeline is this Julia from? This Julia went to Brakebills, right, so this isn't the Julia who studied hedge magic and was raped by Reynard? But then what was the whole deal about "I'm not fragile, people heal"?

Can someone remind why she isn’t a goddess anymore? I feel like I would have to rewatch the last half of last season o understand what everyone’s motivation and current magic stance is.

The fragility thing comes from Penny 23's history where he and Julia 23 were an item and Quentin 23 gutted her.

Flatscan posted:She burned up her goddess power remaking the golden keys after Alice destroyed the original set. But still has power according to EP4. Power =/= Magic apparently but she'll probably return to form in some way. The rest of magic has been rationed by the library. Everyone can do a little. For example, In EP3, Quentin wins the card game by removing all the magic from the room and just pulling a sleight of hand trick to win. Dean Fogg has been negotiating with the library for more magic to teach and who he can teach, etc. (Julia in EP 1 & 2) Anne Whateley posted:Why is Margo being nice to Josh like at all? Because Margo isn't a bad person at all. She's a complete badass and is the type of person (to quote from another thread I read) "takes maximal responsibility" of her charges in Fillory as well as her friends. Especially seasons 2-3, Margo pushes everyone to be their best. She doesn't like petty bs or self pity. Margo has always been this person, but it's been hidden through the veneer of being overshadowed by males and maybe even a bit by Eliot. It really meant the world to Margo that Eliot named her High King and Margo continues to rise to the challenge.

I kind of wish they'd played out the "Elliot's dead for reals, the baddie told us so" story longer without revealing to the viewer that it isn't true. Still gonna be rough for the characters, but I weirdly think I would have preferred to stew in that idea as an audience member for a few episodes, even though T.V. logic says we're probably getting real Elliot back at the end of the season. Josh's story had a sweet ending this episode, but I feel like there had to be some easy fixes, the most obvious one being basically the Tinder suggestion only with some detailed pamphlets and whatnot on what they're in for. Bound to be someone who's into it among the general populace who doesn't know magic is real.

There were generally like "magic groupies" in that one episode with the vampire or whatever. If this poo poo happens like every 30 years is Josh like 50?

OK I just started watching the current season and I am super duper confused about what's going on. I've seen the other seasons but I just don't really remember much. I'm vaguely reminded that they are currently in a different timeline because I think Marina is dead in our timeline (well, she ded in both now) and I thought Penny was as well. This is the timeline where Quentin was the Beast right? What happened to the original timeline again? Who are the McCallisters again and why are they so special that they apparently don't have magic rationed? Speaking of magic rationing, does whatever the Library is doing affect all worlds and timelines or just Earth? Or in other words can they do magic in Fillory? Do gods also have magic rationed? What ever happened with the elves from last season? As far as the quickening storyline, I'm calling bullshit that Josh could not find one willing person to gently caress who had a fetish for werwolves. In a world where there are people getting off to drawings of dinosaurs having sex with cars and furrys are a thing I'm pretty sure there's got to be someone out there who is like "gently caress yeah I wanna be a werwolf."

They're in their own timeline, but the current Marina and Penny are refugees from the Quentin-beast timeline. The fairies are still up and about but I think their business with the gang is concluded? Margo has a fairy eye now.

This is the timeline where Quentin was the Beast right? What happened to the original timeline again? Nope. They're still in the same timeline. Marina and Penny jumped ship from Timeline 23 to the current one. Also, no way would they kill Marina offscreen, given how much trouble the show went to in order to get her back onto the show. Boris Galerkin posted:Who are the McCallisters again and why are they so special that they apparently don't have magic rationed? They're an old family of abusive fuckwads who still had magic last season (even though everyone else didn't) because they were enslaving and then snorting fairies. They teamed up with the Library to help her magic back, because the Library needed their supply of dead slaves. The Library gives them unlimited magical supplies as part of their binding agreement. Boris Galerkin posted:Speaking of magic rationing, does whatever the Library is doing affect all worlds and timelines or just Earth? Or in other words can they do magic in Fillory? Do gods also have magic rationed? The magic rationing only affects this one timeline -- IIRC it still existed in timeline 23 -- it's not clear if the Library can travel to other timelines, but they're certainly aware of them. The Library has effectively damned and then syphoned off the font of all magic, that supplied magic to all lands and all species, and they're using that to standardise the universe. Gods don't have their magic rationed, nor do certain kinds of magical creature (like fairies, dragons, lamprey, etc.) and some magical objects have been demonstrated to retain their charge (the batteries, the keys). They all maintain their magic independently. Boris Galerkin posted:What ever happened with the elves from last season? They set up home in Fillory, where they're now a protected species.

No, there were a couple lines of dialogue about how it was serious. I feel like the whole thing was ridiculously out of character for Margo. Like she wouldn't have just found someone who deserved to be murdered?

Josh wasn't on board because it might take too long and he didn't want to kill anyone anyway. I think her actions make perfect sense given the fact that Josh isn't anywhere near as ruthless as she is, and she's still grieving over the possibly permanent loss of her best friend. She wanted to make sure she didn't lose anyone else and she knew she could deal with the curse because she's a badass, so why not?

Also Margo wants to protect people. She knew Josh killing someone would wreck him, and for all that she's badass and aloof, she gives a poo poo. She fought with Eliot in like... last season? about how he was just given the power to rule but she wants it and she's always wanted to be able to look out for folks she cares about. If Josh said he could kill a bad person, Margo would have walked out of there in a second - but he couldn't, and she wasn't going to make him. She'll just do that herself next time around.

I suspect she also feels fairly guilty over what she forced him to do there, hence her willingness to offer him a different out here. It's not like she didn't realise she was being a hypocrite when she forced him to kill his best god friend so she wouldn't have to kill her best friend.

Like other than that threesome in season 1, and that makeout during The Mosaic, it was a little ambiguous whether Quentin and Eliot really had something going on during their life together. It was maybe implied, or I certainly hoped it had been the case. But this proved that they were in love all those years, and that thrills me. But it also breaks my heart that Eliot pushed Quentin away. Maybe once we actually get Eliot back, they can explore an actual relationship.
