If Magicians is earning a comparison with Game of Thrones, I think I'll give it a pass.

If Magicians is earning a comparison with Game of Thrones, I think I'll give it a pass.
I can't watch Game of Thrones, but I find The Magicians very watchable, FWIW. There is some serious violence, but it doesn't seem to be in the basic weave of the world in Magicians the way it is in GoT.
In spite of my constant grousing about Quentin and his hair and his truly ungodly level of McAlary-ness.
Quentin is the least of my reasons for watching. There are multiple female characters with their own arcs and purposes and comoplexities. Alice's arc surprised me several times. Julia and Kady are great!
Also, Penny is a delight, and I want to make him cookies and wrap him in a blanket. Eliot is so Eliot, and I've loved watching him develop.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
There is some serious violence, but it doesn't seem to be in the basic weave of the world in Magicians the way it is in GoT.
I think I disagree, but the main difference, I think, is that the characters don't take the level of violence for granted when it happens, which makes a huge difference in terms of emotional heft. Honestly, GoT is easier for me to watch because it really is just pure gratuitous spectacle - if certain characters are killed off, I'll be upset because the show will be boring without them, but I'm not really going to be sad about it.

Supergirl: seriously the DEO doesn't send a backup team with Kara and Alex?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
They don't bother to vet or even just retrain returning agents who've been held in captivity for 14 years, so not remembering to send backup seems par for the course. Also, how did the physical they did on Jeremiah miss the fact that he has a robot arm?

Was Central City always in the middle of a forest, down the road from a picturesque cliff convenient for assembling your gorilla army?

And do they not realize that Harry is using his gorilla voice?

Okay, I guess he wasn't. Maybe it was his attempt at distinguishing Harry from H.R.

Is Chase still the D.A. while acting as Oliver's lawyer? Is that...supposed to work somehow?
I am now rooting for Thea as next season's villain.

Was there a LoT this week that my dvr missed?
I am now rooting for Thea as next season's villain.
That would be cool, since they seem to have run out of things to do with her this season.
