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!
Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

Boxed Set, Vol. VI: I am not a number, I am a free thread!
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

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.
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.)

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.

Yes, that feeling hasn't changed through all the seasons for me either.

Looking at GIFs on Tumblr, Eliot with longer hair and facial hair is 1,000% hotter than clean-shaven Eliot with short hair. Muy caliente.

Tim's comments after the second episode of The Magicians: "Penny's REALLY hot, right?" and "Okay, Quentin should definitely not be off his meds."
Both correct.

I have to say the most recent episode of The Magicians (S05E08: Garden Variety Homicide) may have been my favorite to date. The Margo/Eliot interplay has always been a delight, but it was extra extra.

Just saw that Magicians is ending with S5 (current season). I understand that 5 seasons is a really good run but I'm not ready to say goodbye to these characters.
