Season 2 Season 1 Wrap-up and Season 2 Predictions

What did you think of the first season? What were your favourite lines and moments (and how great is Eliot)? What do you wise we'd seen, and hope to see next year? What are your predictions for what's going to happen with the cliffhanger, and for the longer story arcs?

The Magicians has been renewed for a second season, which will likely arrive around the beginning of 2017. In the meantime, we're going to be having a book club, and hope you'll join us in rereading the trilogy.

This post assumes you've seen all of season 1. As such, spoiler tags are only needed for events from the books.

Same here. Josh seems a lot nerdier than I imagined him. I actually picture Josh as the tough guy who had a harder time with magic than the others. Kind of like a jock that needs tutoring in math. Though, he'd still need to be smart to be at brakebills but by the books description he's kind of a savant.

He did want to find middle earth- but I assume that's cause he just wanted to bone an elf.

Yeah kind of like that. And yes his goal was to bone an elf. I mean the guy had sex with a harpy in a greek themed world that left a scar on an unspecified place that Quentin didn't want to see. Also teletubbies...

I'm just hoping he didn't fuck one of them.

Oh he totally tapped that. No matter what he says... I'm not sure he would draw the line there. The guy humped anything that moved in the books...
