for being thrown in at the very end of season 5, The Couple mean so much to me as antagonists. like here we have this massive chunk of worldbuilding—the Nave Hotel, one of the safest places in the magical world: anti-traveler wards, absolutely cracked wards for any other magic, and empath golems that will force you to leave if they feel any negative intent on you. the two who run this place are dangerous magical elites, connected to one of top hedges in the country. hello??? like i wish they’d been a part of the plot earlier, so we could’ve learned more about post-grad magician life. there even seemed to be something between The Couple and Fen, with how similar they were.

this show loves to throw in so many little crumbs of interesting worldbuilding and never expand on them (im looking at you Irene McAllistair)

NEW YORK DAILY MONITOR

Billionaire Magnate Irene McAllistair Intends to Run for Office

i knew it. its like john gaines all over again 

[ellestra]

Worse off than we started

This was such a good season.

I was hoping this season will end at least a little better but Irene is still alive, Library is rationing magic and all the main heroes don’t remember who they are (or that magic exist). Except for Alice who now belongs to Library for breaking their deal. And Eliot who is the monster now.

Alice was all over the place and then betrayed them again but after all she lost and how many bad decisions she made it wasn’t that surprising. Now she looks more and more like Cassandra - already no one believes her.

But at least Margo finally gets to be Janet.  

I loved Our Lady of the Tree. Julia Goddess of the Trees. But she gave up all her power to remake the keys. I suppose this way he gets to stay on the show. Goddesses rarely are regulars.

I was sad to see Fairy Queen go and so was Fen. Even after all their animosity Fen cried when Fairy Queen sacrificed herself for her people.

Fen - acting High King. And now that Margo lost her memories this will be a pretty permanent position. At least Fillory is in good hands. But it has been once again abandoned by its High King and since Library is rationing magic they may not even know it’s back. Elliot made a deal with Loria and Floaters to stop invasions in return for learning magic once it’s back. With the timetable unknown are they going to invade again now?

I wonder if Fairy Queen has given Fen some kind of gift for her tear with that kiss. She kind of owed her toes. And a daughter.

And how will Margo’s Fairy eye come to play. She should be able to see unseen and not knowing about magic it’d be confusing but at least the monster shouldn’t be able to hide from her.

Now that Josh doesn’t even remember that he has lycanthropy The Quickening may really take a toll.

Marina40 once helped Julia forget. I hope Marina23 will help her remember.

At least Penny40 should still remember everything and he has access to Cassandra and her writings.

I can’t wait for next season and the monster punishing all who deserve its wrath. With Quentin/Brian in tow.

Jaime Ray Newman is set to cast a spell on The Magicians. TVLine has learned exclusively that the alum of such series as Bates Motel, Eureka and Eastwick will guest-star in multiple Season 3 episodes of the Syfy drama as Irene McAllistair, a member of Brakebills’ Board of Trustees who has known Dean Fogg for many years. Irene is also part of an old and powerful family of magicians.

[asofterhibou]

personal theory for the magicians season four (keeping in mind that I know fuck all about TV writing in general / writing on the magicians in particular) is that season four got a complete rewrite at some point (obviously because of jralph leaving, and also I agree with the theory that they likely couldn’t get the actor for Irene McAllistair back) where the first few eps had probably already been generally planned out which is why they leave in the mcallistairs at the beginning and then never mention them again, and also why there is a very strong sense (to me) that, since they had to write Quentin out of the show, the show-runners planned out the series of events in the final few episodes that lead to the finale and Quentin’s death in the mirror world (in a scenario that is purposefully(?) and weirdly reminiscent of the climactic scene in the first Harry Potter movie, why why??) because they knew that’s what the whole season had to be leading to - and then went, okay, everything in the middle just has be filled in. By something. I guess. and some of the stuff in the middle is really good! and works!

I love everything they do with Alice, I would love Kady’s plotline with the hedges if a little more had happened with it, the dragon egg episode was fun and a nice break from the tension, Penny40′s part about not assuming who is the important in the story was good (although in retrospect felt extremely disingenuous and part of the original spin of ‘actually Quentin’s death is subversive’). but so little of it is tied in with the main plotlines of the monster and the library in any way that matters. the most hilarious example of this is the episode where the library starts IMPLANTING PEOPLE WITH WORMS THAT KILL YOU IF YOU DO MAGIC. This should be something really terrifying and interesting and impactful! and it literally has no impact on the plot going forward or any of the main characters. Pete gets attacked, but Pete is a secondary character that even Kady only seems to slightly care about, and it barely gets mentioned again. The whole purpose of this plot point is to show that the library and specifically Everett are Bad, so that Zelda is willing to turn against them. The Monster is such a significant character for the entire season, but his story ends with a whimper, no narrative pay-off, and so there’s the sense that he basically exists to show off Hale Appleman’s acting and provide a problem to be solved and to send Quentin spiralling. This is also a similar problem with Margo’s plotlines - Margo gets awesome stuff this season! but since Eliot is out of the picture and the Fairy Queen is dead, she’s got no one to narratively bounce off of in Fillory except Josh and Fen, who are basically cyphers this season. What does Josh want, except for Margo to be his girlfriend and not be mean to him? Who knows? The episode that they could have showed us something about Josh (the werewolf one where he and Margo get together) tells us that Josh isn’t willing to murder or rape someone to survive, which is nice? But also a really low bar that we’d expect any of the main cast to clear. It tells us very little about Josh - the point of the episode is Margo sacrificing for him. The same with Fen - what does Fen want, what does she feel about Margo, about being High King, about Margo being High King? She seems basically okay with all of it, I guess. is all we get, because again the point is Margo sacrificing her crown for Eliot. Which I love for Margo, but it’s weird that she has to spend a whole season acting off of the blank spaces that should be Josh and Fen’s characters, ESPECIALLY when we get the damn goldfish scene, where it’s like, okay, I understand that Margo is awesome and Margo sacrifices for people and this is how she shows it, and she shows that she really cares about Josh, but. Why do WE care about Josh, again? Same problem with the episode with Penny23, Marina and the time-line shifting - like, it’s a cool concept, and they wanted to bring in Stoppard from the book, and Marina’s always fun, but what’s the point? Penny23 and Penny40 have their chat, but that could have been written in a million ways. Marina’s actor was signed for four episodes and they really didn’t know what to do with Penny23 other than indicate that he’s much more willing to sacrifice people (ie. Quentin) than the OG Penny, if necessary? Okay, fine, I guess? We couldn’t have gotten that out of a more narratively significant episode?

anyway, I know the Magicians’ strong suite has never been plotting, and mostly I’m fine with that, it just stands out really noticeably this season. they have all the main domino falling events happen in the last few episodes so that they can have Quentin and Alice getting back together, the scene with Quentin and the flower to call back to the book, and then leading to the monsters and the library both causing the final mirror world death scene, but it leaves this strange space in the middle of the season in which lots of things just seem to happen, some interesting and theme-and-character-developing and some only confusingly irrelevant to either the story or the characters.

a quentin/eliot fanfic by tuntekorpp

“Alright. New case. Someone is fucking up with dead bodies.” There’s a collective groan at that. Dealing with necrophilia was one time too many. “It’s not necrophilia,” Margo counters. “Irene McAllistair and her brother are embezzling money from the dying and the grieving. Classic grift.” “Cruel grift,” Eliot says. “Even I never ran that one. It’s tacky.” “That’s saying something,” Quentin mutters in his bowl and gets Eliot’s pointy elbow in his ribs in retaliation. “Hey, I’ve always grifted classy.” “Uh-uh, what about—” “Nope, we’re not going there.” “Hey, dickholes,” Margo cuts. “You can flirt all you want once I’m done, but until then, you shut the fuck up.”

or the Magicians crew is a group of Magicians/con-artists Leverage style. or a heist goes sideways and Eliot needs to deal with his feelings.

[douxreviews]

The Magicians - ‘The Art of the Deal’ Review

Julia: “Is that a gif of a crab with a knife?” Fen: “It's how I feel.”

Deals are made and broken, testy relationships harm the quest, and things get super graphic.

Julia and Fen continue with Mission: Free-The-Fairies. They enlist The Fairy Queen’s help (which isn’t easy), having her go under cover as a fairy slave. She motivates the other fairies so that Julia and Fen can use the McAllistairs’ machine to remove their collars before releasing them. Only it turns out the machine doesn’t just remove the collars but also their heads. Instead, The Fairy Queen has to break the deal fueling the collars, putting all the fairies in jeopardy. And then the fairy slaves mercilessly kill all the McAllistairs.

There’s an overall theme of trust across this episode. The Fairy Queen starts out with little trust in all magicians. Apparently, there’s a long history of magicians enslaving fairies for their magic. She trusts Fen because she sees that her motherly concern for the fairies outweighs her hatred of them. But she remains skeptical of Julia because Julia doesn’t seem to have a motive of her own to want to help. The Fairy Queen and her kind seem to only work in deals with other species. And, when your only interactions involve scratching someone’s back if they scratch yours, it’s easy to see how you might lose faith in anyone wanting to help anyone else just because. So it’s nice to see Julia and The Fairy Queen form a bond through her complete lack of personal motive.

I had trouble understanding why the Fairy Queen felt breaking a deal, and everyone else’s trust, would leave the fairies so vulnerable. I mean, they are literal magic; you’d think they’d have no trouble defending themselves. But if deals are the only way they really know of interacting with the outside world, only way of feeling safe when doing so, I guess it would feel dangerous to damage that.

We get to see more of Penny in the Underworld. Apparently, Penny’s been shelving books (badly), hands shackled, and giving dirty looks to pretty much everyone, especially Sylvia. Which is fair. He finds a way out, steals himself a MetroCard from some poor soul in fox pajamas. But then he runs into Hades, the Hades. Who tells Penny he can use the MetroCard to try to find a way back to Earth, or he can stay and live in the underworld. Penny gives the MetroCard to Sylvia so she can find her family (which is sweet) and then he joins a book club.

I think what Penny’s really offered in the Underground, that he might not have gotten back on Earth, is community. Even before he discovered he was a traveler, he apparently was constantly sacrificing himself to prove his worth. Now that he’s in the underworld he has nothing to rely on but his own ability to be vulnerable and kind and be with people. It’s probably hard to sacrifice much for people who are already dead. Penny also has a place to stay, one place. He can’t use his traveling powers to zip all over the universe. All he has is the Underworld and the people there, which could never have been true on Earth.

Penny eats a cupcake at his book club. In the story of Persephone and the Underground, when Persephone ate pomegranate seeds she bound herself to the Underground. So, if taken negatively, this could mean Penny’s now stuck down there. In a more positive light, it could also signify Penny finally embracing his place in a community, tying himself to them. That said, I still hope he makes his way back to Earth one day.

Off in Fillory for Mission: Key Quest, Quentin and Alice deal with their own trust issues. Quentin’s unsure of Alice’s motivations, especially after seeing her at the library. He needs her help with the quest, but isn’t sure he can trust her. And Alice is frustrated with him for not trusting her.

Quentin’s certainly got reason not to trust her. She has been all over the place and associating with the shady library wasn’t a good look. But Alice also has a point. It wasn’t fair to expect her to want to go on a quest for magic right after her dad died because of her actions when she was literal magic. And, if anyone should understand feeling lost, depressed, and ambivalent, it should be Quentin. But it’s still hard when the two have such a rocky history and so much is at stake. Ultimately, Quentin’s qualms were right, she is working for the library. The library might also want magic back, but it’s general shadiness makes its own motivations questionable.

Of course, none of that really matters because it turns out the fairies have the sixth key and they can’t give it up. So they’re all screwed.

Bits and Pieces

-- When Alice brought up how unfair it was for Quentin to judge her for acting ambivalent and depressive, like he often does, I feel like the show could’ve been highlighting the double standard the media and viewers sometimes have. Flawed, complicated men are often viewed more positively than flawed, complicated women. Or maybe I’m just reading too much into things.

-- This episode is another reminder of how far Julia’s come. She started out early season one doing anything to learn magic, even to the detriment of others. Now, she’s using magic to help everyone else with no intention of personal gain.

-- Julia was pretty nonchalant about the fairies destruction, though. The McAllistairs certainly deserved what I got (and it’s too bad Irene got away), but still. Seeing that’s gotta leave an impression.

-- Margo and Eliot make some deals of their own on behalf of Fillory. They promise, if they end the war, they won’t conquer the Floaters with their magic and they’ll teach the Lorians how to use magic. It’s nice to see their return to their bad-ass form.

Fen: “There's an emoji of a dagger. Todd was right, this truly is the universal language.”

Fairy Queen: “Short memory is a privilege of the oppressor.”

Howard the Librarian: “So, uh, Penny. My book club is looking for new members. Interesting people. And I thought of you.” Penny: “Why? Cause I'm brown? And shackled? You know this looks bad for the Library, right?” Howard the Librarian: “Oh, no. We are not—we shackle people of all races and colors here.” Penny: “Not better, Howard.”

Three and a half out of five emoji daggers.

The Magicians Alphabet Revisited

M → McAllistairs

‘‘The McAllistairs are on the Board of Trustees. They're one of the oldest magical families in America ‘‘

[thehollowprince]

Does Todd have a last name? If not, can we give him one, because I feel that he is an underrated character. I nearly died when he started to call Eliot "Daddy".

Side note: I headcanon him as a McAllistair, that prestigious family that Rupert's boyfriend Lance and that shady bitch Irene belong to.

Noticias de series de la semana: Louis C.K. admite las acusaciones

Nuevos escándalos y sus consecuencias

Netflix, HBO, FX y TBS han cortado todas sus relaciones con Louis C.K., que ha admitido todas las acusaciones de acoso sexual. Ya no producirá Better Things, Baskets, One Mississippi -producida por FX Studios-, un segundo especial de comedia para Netflix o la serie animada The Cops (TBS), que no llegará a estrenarse.

Andrew Kreisberg, showrunner de The Flash, ha sido suspendido de sus deberes en Warner tras las acusaciones de acoso por parte de diecinueve empleados, incluidas una guionista y una directora. Una productora afirma que advirtió de su comportamiento a un ejecutivo senior hace más de un año y que éste simplemente ignoró la información. Berlanti, que al parecer desconocía todo esto, colabora ahora con la investigación.

Amazon canceló Good Girls Revolt tras su primera temporada. Resulta curioso saber ahora que Roy Price, entonces presidente de la compañía, nunca vio la serie porque no le llamaba el argumento.  Ahora, tras la ola de escándalos sexuales -entre otros el que propició la dimisión de Price- Sony TV planea vender una segunda temporada a varias cadenas, entre las que se encontraría Amazon. Ya no existen contratos con el reparto, pero muchos de ellos han pedido su regreso en las redes sociales y estarían encantados de volver. Amazon investiga las acusaciones de acoso por parte de Jeffrey Tambor (Transparent) a Van Barnes, mujer transexual y antigua asistente del actor. Él lo niega todo. Jill Solloway, creadora de la serie, ha declarado que colaboran con la investigación Por su parte, BBC ha anunciado que no emitirá Ordeal by Innocence, la adaptación de la novela de Agatha Christie protagonizada por Ed Westwick, como parte de su programación navideña. Y gracias también a BBC, sabemos que la productora independiente encargada de White Gold ha informado de que el actor ha interrumpido su participación en la segunda temporada, que ya había comenzado a grabarse.

Series para el nuevo canal de Disney

Bog Iger, presidente de Disney, ha anunciado que preparan una serie de acción real de Star Wars, adaptaciones de High School Musical y Monsters Inc. y una nueva serie de Marvel para su nuevo canal, que no tendrá anuncios y ofrecerá un precio considerablemente más bajo que el de Netflix.

Big Little Lies 2

La producción de la segunda temporada de Big Little Lies podría comenzar la próxima primavera si consiguen cuadrarse las agendas de todas las personas involucradas. Precisamente debido a sus compromisos, Jean-Marc Vallée no será su director, aunque participará como productor. Están buscando a una directora que le sustituya.

Renovaciones de series

Showtime ha renovado Shameless por una novena temporada

ITV ha renovado Bad Move por una segunda temporada

Episodios adicionales

The CW ha encargado nueve episodios más de Dynasty, con temporada completa de veintidós gracias a este back-nine, y ha decidido que no habrá más episodios de Valor en su primera temporada.

FOX ha encargado siete episodios más de The Mick. En total serán veinte en su segunda temporada, tres más que en la primera.

CBS ha encargado dos episodios más de NCIS y NCIS: New Orleans y uno más de Hawaii Five-0, haciendo un total de veinticuatro para todas ellas en su actual temporada.

ABC ha encargado tres episodios más de Kevin (Probably) Saves the World, llegando a quince en su primera temporada, y tres guiones más de The Mayor.

The Magicians - ‘Poached Eggs’ Review

By Ariel Williams 

“When things happen, they leave a mark. Figuring out how to deal with it takes time.”

So our characters contemplate how to bear the weight of their trauma and, well, existence. And there’s a fun jailbreak. Typical Magicians episode.

Let’s start with the jailbreak. So they still need to get the last key from the underground. They figure out a way to do this, which involves Penny turning himself into a book to break into the underground library, then passing the key to the Nietherlands library, where another traveler will be to bring it back home. The problem is their second traveler (Victoria from the Beast’s dungeon) is rolling with Harriet (fake buzzfeed, anti-library girl). They need to get Harriet on their side, so they need Kady, who’s been locked in a mental hospital since her conversation with Astral Penny. 

The jailbreak itself is lots of fun. Quentin and Poppy use their concerning level of knowledge about mental hospitals to get her out. Kady gets to punch someone. It’s all great. Except for Kady’s conversation with Penny, which is heart-breaking. Kady isn’t happy to hear about Penny’s part of the plan, that he’s once again putting his life on the line for everyone. And her exhaustion and frustration is kinda understandable. Because she’s right; Penny’s sacrificed for the group time and time again, and his last sacrifice got him pseudo-dead. At the end of the day, its Penny’s choice. But Kady still might not want to (and shouldn’t have to) watch him do it again.

In Fillory, Margo and Eliot go up against The Fairies. They almost have them with their kidnapping scheme, but then the Fairy Queen threatens Frey. Frey realizes, if family does mean loyalty like Fen says, then the fairies don’t treat Frey like family. So she betrays them and admits to Eliot and Fen that she isn’t her daughter. Turns out, their kid died at childbirth. Fen’s disappointed in herself, that she didn’t know, that she tried so hard to force Frey to be her family. Because she didn’t want to see the truth and she saw as a way of avoiding her pain. But that would have never worked, of course, which is what Julia realizes regarding her own trauma.

After Julia and Alice did their switcheroo (as Dean Fogg puts it), it doesn’t work as well as either hoped. Julia’s still haunted by Reynard. Alice can’t hold Julia’s magic; it’s killing her. Alice isn’t willing to accept her end of it. It seems that she sees magic as a way of finding herself again. So Julia has to stop her, before the magic kills her. Ultimately (after Alice accidentally almost kills Julia) Alice gives Julia’s magic back and they have a nice conversation about trauma and healing. Julia realizes there’s nothing magic about her pain, so there’s nothing magic she can do to fix it. She just needs time. Alice likely needs the same to figure out who she is and how to be. 

It’s a small conversation, but I found it to be the most important part of the entire episode. Because that’s really the answer to a lot of the character’s problems. Quentin can’t magic his way out his depression, he just needs time to accept it and learn how to cope with it. Fen can’t use a surrogate child to fix her loss. And Kady needs time to deal with kind of losing Penny. It’s that cliché saying: “time heals all wounds.” It’s not fun or entertaining, but it’s likely got some truth to it.

Bits and Pieces

-- Time alone isn’t going to save Margo and Eliot from the pissed off Fillorian residents, though. They could really use some magic about now.

-- For a moment there, Frey was starting to hate Eliot less. Which was a nice family moment. Until, you know, it turned out they weren’t really a family.

-- Irene Mcallistair’s magic reserve turns out to be creature excretions you take like cocaine. Nothing fishy going on there.

Dean Fogg, regarding Julia’s reason for rejecting her magic: “I'll file it under ‘entitled Millennial bullshit.’” This was a funny line, but I’m still annoyed by everyone’s inability/refusal to try to understand Julia’s reluctance.

Fen: “We had the most wonderful adventure. We went to the Square of Time, where no one sleeps. And it's always light.” Frey: “A man urinated next to me.” Fen: “Then we saw bards performing on your famous Broad Way." Frey: “You call it Cats, but it's just humans in cat greasepaint.” Fen: “And we tried a delicacy called pizza at an eatery that was ‘Family Style.’”

Margo, threatening: “So have fun on the little egg hunt, 'cause if you don't make this deal, we're about to boil and dye 'em like it's motherfucking Easter around here.” Fairy Queen: “I don't know what that means.”

Vampire, when Julia comes to save Alice: “Get out.” Alice: “No, I gave you my money.” Vampire: “Not enough to deal with hedgewitch Buffy.”

Margo: “There wasn't a blood test to tell me to be High Queen. I chose it. And I have had to fight for every shred of authority. And no offense, but you can't understand, because it was handed to you. And now I'm supposed to abandon my kingdom? Those fairy bitches wanna come for my crown, well I'll shove it up their fucking egg-holes.”

Three and a half out of four Easter-egged fairy fetuses.
