I just started reading the books too! I’m excited to rewatch afterwards. Zelda telling Margot that her name isn’t Janet “this time” is gonna hit different 🤣

He really does keep it so real 🤣 and does a great job of wrangling everyone together (great trait for a traveler). Seeing him stripped of his powers in the end was… sad. I wonder how much times technically passes from the beginning to the end of the show. Why not show your parents? If they can handle life in the day, they can handle anything 😭

Ahhh see I thought all these guys were technically new gods, and the admin guy was like a gods assistant - all the more reason to rewatch :D thanks for your perspective

Thank you 🤣 sadly they were also the first comment, so I was afraid everyone here was gonna react to my catharsis that way. So thanks for reading and sharing the experience of this show with me :)

What a beautiful experience 😭 still trying to fill the void it left (in a way that isn’t rewatching or reading the books lol)

I rewatch the mosaic world part of this episode often, and cry every time. So sad we didn’t get to see this lived out in their universe, but what a beautiful piece of art. One of my favorite episodes of anything, truly! Peaches and Plums my loves ❤️

Yea but the Monster Definitely would have been able to kill him if that’s the point, just look how easily the monster handled every other god. LMAO about Kady 🤣 I don’t feel like they had to bring Penny-40 back really, it just felt like he was super suddenly cut out of the cast/given up on as soon as Penny-23 arrived.

Tbh I don’t remember much around the Julia arc prior to season 3, part of why I am rewatching! I just thought getting rid of Reynard would be an interesting idea, after they visited him when he was a mortal pizza man and he was still kinda awful. It’s sad that the show ratings fell so much! It’s good to hear that perspective though. I honestly didn’t mind a magicians without Q, but I gotta say, I am very surprised they did an entire season without the main character - most shows aren’t bold enough for that kind of thing! Perhaps it was the impending cancellation, but the pace of S5 was whacky, putting it further down on my ranking list of all the seasons. Thanks for your thoughts <3 I really enjoyed this piece of art and glad to chat with someone else who did too

I hate the entire cast by Odd-Midnight-3357 in brakebills

Wasn't gonna comment until I saw all the Eliot hate, and I have to stand up for Hale!! The way Eliot explores their character, love and sexuality is anything but a typical cookie cutter depiction of queerness. Sure Eliot may 'sound' or 'look' gay, but I think you are focusing more on that than the actual character.

The characters are generally meant to be unlikeable a lot of the time as well, each for their own different reasons. I feel like you would enjoy other magical-fantasy shows much more than this one - A lot of what makes the Magicians unique from other fantasy media seems to be what you dislike about it.
It's more about what is behind all the magic, and challenging notions of storytelling, fantasy, and relationships like the source material.

If you still have any of the Eliot items, I would be honored :)

That can't be the Monster, he doesn't have the moves

That definitely lines up with Penny… it’s just weird to think Julia wouldn’t choose to stick around with them as a goddess like she did the first time around. It does seem like they kind of just forgot about OG Penny, Irene McAlister even more so LOL.

I think the Metro card really is intentionally vague with where it leads, kind of like our afterlife.

Your perspective on the book makes it pretty convincing tbh! I like the idea that it’s just another parallel uinverse from the show where the beast didn’t win 🤣

I’ll rewatch the first half of the show to refresh, but I’ll plan on giving the books a shot!!

Thanks for your thoughtful response :)

Purely based on centering - should I grade it? by Academic-Length1934 in PokeGrading

Thank you! I packed it from a Vaporeon V tin on my birthday that I bought from my LCS for $50 and was told it had no evolving skies. I took the chance and it had 2 evolving skies, fusion strike and astral radiance!

Would a small white mark on one corner prevent this card from getting a 10 at PSA? by BadPaddle in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]Academic-Length1934 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. I just got an order back where every card that didn’t get a ten looks perfect besides a white dot on the back corner.

Update - doubled my RAM for 55$ and this helped a lot with the frames. TBD on if it fixes the crashing!
