    The Magicians, S05E13- Fillory And Further

    Thank you so much to Jessie for commissioning this, the final episode of The Magicians!
    I'm honestly really surprised at how satisfying the ending of this series is considering that this wasn't supposed to be the end of the show, and considering how many balls they still had in the air right up until the last second.
    It's certainly bittersweet because the gang is split up, but there's also a rightness to the fact that there are still quests happening ad infinitum. That just seems like who these people are, you know?
    Thanks again to all of you who supported me through this whole series, and I hope you enjoyed the ride!
    Peaches and plums, my friends.

    Thank you very much to Jessie for commissioning this episode!
    The main takeaway of this episode my utter disbelief that this is the penultimate episode of the series. It's just so incredibly loaded with half-formed ideas that still need a lot of time to percolate and develop, and knowing there's exactly ONE episode left to explain it all is really a tall order.
    There's also a bunch of musical stuff in this one, which I can take or leave, and a bunch of heist stuff, which I'm totally here for.
    Thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

    Only three more episodes of this series to go, and I have no idea how we're going to wrap up so quickly! This episode is the one where they sorta come to a conclusion I theorized on last episode, in which I suggested maybe using the World Seed to create a new Fillory...or something? What it comes down to is that they want to allw Fillory to be destroyed, and Fen is not okay with it.
    And meanwhile, I'm having mixed feelings about this season and it seems like I'm really not going to be satisfied by the time this is all over. I guess we will have to wait and see!
    Thank you so much for listening, and I will see you again soon with a new episode!

    Thank you very much to Ashley for commissioning this episode!
    This episode is when we FINALLY get the answer to so many of the questions that I've been asking (and which NOBODY else has been asking, BTW) and it's actually pretty interesting. Turns out that the Takers are the guard dogs of the Underworld, and they've been dragging people away because...I guess they're confused over who is alive and who is dead and deserves to be pulled into Hell?
    Whatever. We get to see Hades again, and I find him so compelling but ALSO goddamn dude take some fucking responsibility. You fucking BAILED and your shit started to fall apart. This is YOUR fault! WHERE YOU BEEN, bro?
    Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you again soon with a new episode!

    Thank you Jessie for commissioning this episode!
    Alright so we're starting to get some answers about who the hell the Dark King is and what his motivations are, but I'm so annoyed that nobody wants to know WHY he brought the Takers with him or what they are. This is key information that could help you defeat both them AND him, you guys! You should be more interested!
    Thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you again soon with a new episode!

    Thank you very much to Mathy for commissioning this episode!
    Alright so I was a little bit unhappy with the last episode, but I think that unhappiness has grown into full-blown concern about the final season at this point.
    I don't understand what the writers are doing with the Dark King at all. I do not understand why I'm supposed to feel sorry for him, or why anyone else does. I do not understand why nobody is asking questions about him and who he is, who the Takers are and where they come from, what happens to the people they take, literally ANYTHING. Our whole crew is out here planning an assassination with NO FUCKING INFORMATION and I just can't get on board with the story because I'm so distracted by the fact that they don't even seem interested in the reasons why!
    Ugh. That's all just ugh.

    Thank you very much to Ashley for commissioning this episode!
    This episode brings back the alternate timeline thing again, except instead of traveling to one of them, the people from that timeline travel to us. I'm definitely here for a borderline psycho Dean and I'm hoping that we get to see more of him despite being taken out of play at the end of the episode.
    Meanwhile, Julia is taking on saving Fillory, and I'm already feeling kind of exhausted by the whole thing. I don't really know what the show is trying to do with the storyline with the Dark King, and this whole thing with Margo being falsely accused of being responsible for the Fey losing their home and power is deeply frustrating. Idk y'all but I'm pretty mad by the end of this episode.
    Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you again soon!

    Thank you very much to Ashley for commissioning this episode!
    I really loved this one, because it was a rare episode in which Elliot gets to have an unqualified success, and also he opens up to friends and in genuinely vulnerable with them. We don't get to see him doing well and believing in himself very often, and it's so lovely to see his smile at the start of the time-travel scene when he realizes that the gambit worked and the moon is not yet broken. I loved this!
    Also, the reveal of who has actually been inside his head is hilarious, although I stand by the fact the the editing of a scene during the previous episode had me CERTAIN that something had happened off-camera.
    Anyway, thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you again soon with a new episode!
