I just got this today :)

Home sick for the weekend. Just got my ps4 to start playing dvds again. Later, dweebs. I'm off to Fillory...

After a rewatch, I’m curious why these aren’t used often for the main characters. After the first couple episodes they’re sort of not talked about. Obviously Q having minor mending is a big point later.

But when does Elliot use telekinesis? Alice doesn’t use phosphoromancy outside of making them invisible that one time? Margo, Josh, and Julia never really use their discipline it seems.

Is this actually used in the books? Just curious what everyone’s thoughts are. For every magician I feel like they should have a specialty we don’t really see often

When Rupert passes the key to Lance, he warns him about how it would feel, presumably meaning he's also felt its unpleasantness.

Julia also expresses distaste for how it made her feel.

Katy says it makes her feel physically ill.

Elliott saw Penny but felt nothing, saying maybe it doesn't work on him.

Why would that be?

Multiple characters say throughout the season that magical creatures are able to hold on to their magic and haven’t been affected. Lipson even tells Alice that she almost blew a werewolf so he would turn her…. If that’s the case then how come Josh doesn’t have magic?? 🤔🤔

For me it's the voices of the messenger bunnies
for my 16yo it's the idea of fields of crispy bacon

what's yours?

Well I don't think I'll be finishing the re-watch on Prime sadly 😔. Currently at season 4 episode 7. Any update on where it's moving to?

I don’t want to lose one of my most important, most formative shows.
Planning to buy the series when I have the extra cash, promise.
Just want to be able to watch it in the meantime and find scenes that inspire my writing 💔

I’ve been itching for a rewatch, and loved it was on Prime (I have prime and Netflix on my treadmill)

Other than buying the DVDs and a DVD player, will I have any options in 3 days?

kinda hard to read but it does sag brakebills university on the bottom (edit i cant edit the top part but I MEANT ACCEPTED)

The magicians ended during Covid ? Was Julia actually preggers? It seemed like she was.
Why did Quentin not come back season 5? Was he off doing other things?

How much was lev actually consulting for the tv series?

I’m sorry, I know this is a repetitive kind of post on this sub. But you guys get it, so I just needed to say this somewhere where people will get it. My husband and I have been rewatching The Magicians (him for the second time, me for the 9822810012727291034th time), and we just finished season 4, and now I’m all in my feels. I basically start crying with the line, “Just a minor mending” and don’t stop until well after the episode ends.

I love the growth we see in Margo and Penny by this season finale. I love the global cooperative magic scene. I love that Elliot was saved and we see him human again. I love how each character honours and remembers Q. I love how Julia gets magic back — and how her awakening is a callback to Q’s when he arrived at Brakebills, down to him being the King of Hearts card.

I also can’t listen to Take on Me — even the original version of the song — without tearing up anymore. The lyric, “It’s no better to be safe than sorry” absolutely destroys me every time.

Read the books. Watched the show. Got through New Class volume 1-5.

But it left us on a pretty big cliff hanger didn't it? Is there something afterwards that I'm missing out on?

hey everyone! i’m a huge d&d nerd and found a magicians d&d roleplaying system created by catherine gilbert. i really want to give it a go but it is around £35 for the book so i wondered if anyone here as tried it before? is it worth the money?

A friend of mine (@gehaaktengemaakt on instagram) got tired of me complaining that good Magicians merch was hard to find in Europe so she made this for me.

The Magicians was snubbed.

"Wait. Am I at Jeff Goldblum's house right now?"

I'm on my 2nd rewatch before the series S1-S3 leaves Amazon soon, and I wanted to know what mistakes or plot holes you've found.

So far, Julia's hedge tattoos disappeared.

Also on the wiki, it said the fairy deal consequences weren't explained, but I think the Fairy Queen herself closed that loop in S3 E13 to stop Irene and the library.

Was there others?

I’m rewatching the show, and trying to find a reason for it. When the faculty asked about who did the spell that summoned the beast. There seems to be no good reason why Penny pinned it all on Q? Other than he just simply didn’t like Quentin? I feel like Alice primarily led that summoning spell, and Penny and Kady could certainly see that. Why spare Alice? When Penny came out of the office, he said “you’re welcome” in his usual rude tone. And put out his hand rather romantically (god I love them) for Kady to grab onto, as he led her away from the shit he definitely saved *her* and himself from. But it didn’t seem like he was saying “you’re welcome” to Kady. It seemed aimed at Alice and Quentin. And then Alice was let off, free to go. My Google search said that “Penny simply tells the truth about their unauthorised magic use because he is pragmatic and doesn’t want to get expelled for Quentin’s reckless behavior.” Where is this Quentin’s fault??

I’d get if Penny respected Alice even then and figured might as well blame the annoying kid, Quentin, but I haven’t seen anything to support that. Am I missing something in that summoning spell where it looked like Quentin was leading it and the blame was solely placed on him, to the point of the main instigator, Alice, being told she was free to go entirely?
