I'm quite put off by the way they're treating Julia.

In the book, she finds the Safehouse through her own cleverness and determination (and some really lovely decisions but at least she got to make them.)

In the show, she gets shown the way by some guy who strips her and threatens to rape her.

Yeah, it is sexist as gently caress

When the girl tore her arm up I was expecting her to wake up with her memory erased but see the wound and do some sleuthing to figure out what happened to her but she seemed to have just not forgotten at all and I guess that was her casting a spell?

Yeah that was weird and lazy writing

So episode two makes The Beast scene bad retroactively. The kids team up and push the beast out with the power of friendship.

Man, this show is making me sad.

what the gently caress

The Beast scene in the books is genuinely the scariest scene I have read in YEARS. And this loving poo poo show hosed it up. They also turned Elliot into yet another TV gay nancy boy stereotype

Because they fought him off? Yeah, that was a bit of a copout instead of Martin leaving of his on volition after eating a student alive? Which is more terifying because it was so nonchalant.

Yeah that was insane. Just being frozen in place and randomly devouring a student and we had no idea who or what did it? I got chills reading that and it has stuck with me ever sense. Such a good scene.

Quentin got over the guilt that bringing back magic may kill his dad, so he's not doing it for selfish reasons.

This makes no sense

Or he wants magic more than he wants his dad alive

fortunately the writers can choose not to have people stabbed and killed until it works for the plot
