SLOSifl posted:The best part of the resolution to the Season 1 finale was Quentin going on a quest to help his friends, giving his blood to some rando tree witch, and it all being resolved almost instantly after he left by Alice still running on Godpaste. Margo is probably the closest the show will come in regards to have a character on the show that isn't a complete moron.

Lupus Rufus posted:re: First season being bad, I definitely agree. I know at least TWO people who stopped watching the show as a direct result of the episode where Quentin was trapped in a psychiatric hospital in his own mind because it was too triggering, and understandably so. I almost gave up the show after that episode for another reason: The "maybe the protagonist is insane?" storyline has been done to death and only the "shake it off" dance party made the episode watchable. But the show actually points how monstrous it was to do against someone who has been institutionalized.

Slamhound posted:The TV IV › The Magicians: "I'M YOUR QUEEN, YOU MOTHERFUCKERS!!!" I was really digging Margot's little speech about how Elliott fell rear end-backwards into being high king while she have had to fight to get power. When I first started watching the show I wasn't really expecting her to be the one to call bullshit on the patriarchy (or that the show would have anything to say about the patriarchy or power structures at all), but here we are.

Is there really any reason for why they have to bring back magic? The fairy conflict is resolved and by using the keys they risk releasing some kind of monster into the world (which they absolutely will because they are all idiots and the season finale needs a cliffhanger). Is it really worth it to do some party tricks?

I honestly can't. Margo is the most competent character on the show and seems extremely capable of seeing through misogynist bullshit right away.

NowonSA posted:A fun episode, I didn't really think the penny dialogue was out of place, I was more bugged that Kady had a fun "I'm closing all Sam's cases and also maybe have some mysterious other business I'm doing" and then that pretty interesting (to me at least) idea of Kady: Magic Cop got sidelined immediately by the rent being due and what that led to. I feel like that notion got short shrift and I would have liked at least a scene of her out castin' spells and saving peeps, or for her to have that established in a prior episode and then in this episode she gets caught up by all this stuff. I'm okay with the Magicians not devolving into a procedural show.

Blazing Ownager posted:Also a lot of those Margo quotes are also sort of punchlines to jokes, i.e. looking at a messed up fairytale/medieval society hybrid that is backwards as gently caress through the lens of modern ideologies. The humor comes from the extreme ends of the spectrum conflicting. They're not punchlines and a lot of those attitudes that Margo reacts is attitudes that exists in our modern society too.

King of Bleh posted:I think the humor thing is a component of why some of the exposition in the last episode landed with a bit of a thud. It was played as kind of glib, but it wasn't actually funny at all, even with the "twist reveal" at the end. It was also played as being incisive and showing Penny's "enlightenment", but it didn't really work in that way either, since as someone upthread pointed out, the main cast is actually pretty diverse. I think that's what makes it works. It's easy to say that, for example, fantasy has a lot of straight white protagonists, but the Magicians is actually doing something about it.
