The Magicians
I've said it before, but I have to say it again. I LOVE this show. Except that one of my favorite characters died... and never came back.
I am watching it again and am up to the end of Season 4. I am feeling so much love and so much sadness.🥺🥺🥺 I won't be watching Season 5 but I think I may read the books again, so I can get the real ending at least.
[Spoiler (click to open)]All through Season 4, a big theme is that we are all the main character in our own lives. Penny points out how important all the characters are in how everything plays out - like the writers are trying to warn us that even though Quinton dies, the story is still just as good and worth watching. Quinton is not THAT cute - although he has his moments. I think I am drawn to the geek person who is introverted, loves fantasy, and needs an escape from the real world and the hope of magic and whatever because that is what I am. I love the other characters too. I especially love Margo for her incredible sense of humor, anger and inabiliity to express pain and love any other way. I love Penny for all the roles he plays and the peace he attains in the end although he could have been fleshed out more. I love Eliot for his complicated personality and his love for Margo and Quinton. (I ship Eliot and Quinton so hard). But without Quinton, there is a big hole. I need to be able to see his face once in a while. I need someone who is introverted and shy and has a soft smile. Even if it is just to see him fixing small obects once in a while. And seeing the other characters grieve just as much for him as I, does not make me feel better.
So, McNamara and Gamble, I really would have prefered that you killed Quinton at the end of Season 5 so I could have enjoyed it to the very end or just not even made Season 5. For me, this series ends at the end of Season 4.
