True.
Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
I've watched about half of S1 of The Magicians, and it's pretty entertaining. I read the first 2 books and found Quentin utterly intolerable in them, but I really like him in the show. Penny is a total dick and I love him. Also, I think the actor who plays Eliot is like 10 feet tall. It's very distracting.

Our wings are not tired.
I only have yesterday's episode of The Magicians to watch. I watched all the seasons over the past few weeks. Excellent distraction. I didn't read the books. Should I?
When I finished The Magicians I moved on to Stranger Things. I'm well into S3 now with that one. If I keep going at this rate on the television thing I am never going to manage to finish a book again.

I just started rewatching The Magicians, too!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The Flash introduced their version of Sue Dibny (as Sue Dearbon) this week, and she is totally awesome. They also introduced Evan McCulloch's Mirror Master (as Eva McCulloch).

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I didn't read the books. Should I?
I haven't read them because I heard an interview with the author on a podcast ages ago and thought he sounded like kind of a dick. But some people do love them!

These two things are probably not unrelated. It helps a LOT to have Penny constantly calling out Quentin's bullshit.

Ha! Fair point. I just really didn't think the show could redeem book!Quentin for me, but it really has. (I also possibly over-identify with TV!Quentin, but I'm not looking too closely at that right now.)

Herding cats for fun
Totally enjoyed reading the Magicians. I liked seeing Quentin developing from whiny insecure kid into a heroic man. TV Penny is awfully hot.

Tim watched the pilot of The Magicians with me last night and his first comment after it was over was "Everyone in this show is SO HOT," so I think he's got the spirit.
