:p

insane that the entire plot of the magicians show hinges on Eliot getting the biggest, silliest crush on Quentin in the first episode.

Who gets that kind of proof of concept?

The thing about Eliot is that I think they were genuinely trying to write him as good-hearted but a bit vapid, which is an okay writing choice -- it would make him an appropriate narrative foil for almost everyone else on the show, since most of the main cast are bitter, cranky geniuses (affectionate) -- but it never quite works that way because Hale Appleman has this attentive way of being present in every scene that makes him seem deeply thoughtful. This is because Hale is deeply thoughtful, and because he's so committed to the show and the role that he kind of can't act like someone who's not fully tuned in to his surroundings. So Eliot radiates this intense presence and consciousness in every scene, just in his face and body, and it makes him seem like a smart, thoughtful person.

What's good about this is that it fully makes the character; Eliot has arguably the strongest arc in the whole show, and it's almost entirely created by the way Appleman is inhabiting the character as if he sees everything and everything matters to him. What's bad about this is that sometimes the script forces people -- including Eliot! -- to talk to and about Eliot as if he's a loveable but slightly useless pet, and it's utterly infuriating because it comes off as irrationally condescending.

Hahahhaha what if we like… went on a quest that required us to… go back in time make a mosaic representing the beauty of all life… and then lived an entire life together… and like had a family… and fell in love… and then one of us died… and the other discovered the final piece to the puzzle while digging the grave… and it symbolized like… finding the meaning of life through living it… and then like we were brought back to the present… but we somehow remembered it… and then we would know that we work cause we would have lived it… like idk man who gets that kind of proof of concept…

No? Ok just a thought yk just throwing it out there haha
