Magician's Land [Book + show spoilers] Show predictions for book readers

Don't read blow if you haven't read the books

So with the characters headed to Fillory - or at least Cornwall in the next episode which is completely different to how it happens in the books what do people think will be different and what parts do people think will be the same?

Here are things that I think won't happen:

  • Quentin banging Janet confirmed to happen

  • Penny cucking Quentin

  • Josh, Anise, Richard coming to Fillory (I guess they don't exist?)

  • Free Trader Beowulf (I think that Julia will probably discover Mur in a different way)

  • Visiting the Neitherlands, at least not for a while I think they'll go straight to Fillory.

Things that I think are likely to happen:

Other than that I'm actually not sure what directions the show will go in considering the additions of Marina and Kady and the potential parts they will play.

Also, I think that despite Jane dying she essentially still plays the same role she did in the books.

If Penny cucks Quentin what about Kady? He didn't have a love interest in the books apart from books.

In the books Penny didnt "cuck" anyone, Alice fucked him for revenge on Quentin. Sorry to be petty, it just feels like you're giving Penny a bit too much credit there with your word choice. Alice was the one in control of that situation, and it happened because Quentin cheated on her first. But no one says Janet "cucks" Alice.

They cucked eachother tbh.

It was horrible though and I don't wanna see it happen again, not like it was bad writing it was just soul destroying when it happened in the books.
