I'd like to find an HD copy of The Magicians.
Does anybody know where I could find one?
I'm not some kind of degenerate Pirate though; if you have seen it on those subversive "torrent" sites, please send a link so I can avoid them!
My kids love this show. I was making coffee and was like, "I know that sly voice!!!"
As far as the show goes, who's yalls favorite character dynamic? I like Eliot and Margos. I'm sure that's common. But I also like Eliot and Q's. First season's banter between Penny and Q, and sometimes Kady, got overwhelming. I think Eliot and Fen is light and fun as well.
Found in the wild but this site has a search function and when I checked “the magicians” it showed unavailable, however gave a spot to be alerted via email. Hoping if enough of us added ours in they might see it as a worthy venture 🙂 I’m not affiliated just would love a scarf 🙂
PSA for anyone looking for a digital copy.
need them together in a project together like fish need water
I was careful to write no spoilers.
The song "Take on Me" by Aha has been one of my go-to mood uplifting songs for a decade now, I used to dance to it while doing chores around the house and my coworkers and I used to put it on at work and do the Marlon Webb dance around while closing the store.
Why did magicians have to go and use that song and make it so fucking sad?
Itll never feel the same now.
It's no longer a goofy dance song or a funky 80s jam....it's Quentins song forever.
I have seen the show countless times, I was always confused by Elliot and Margos Pop Culture Code lol, I LOVE that Tubi added the caption for it, made it like a brand new scene.
And the recap from Umber 😂 smoke some maryyy waaaana killed me. I don't like the commercials, but these two additions made it worth it.
Any one else sad they can't get their re-run fixes anymore on Netflix?
I'm even considering reading the books since I enjoyed this phenomenal magical show.
I'm dying to find similar watches since I finished it the 1/6 time , any recommendations?
Hi. Does anyone know the season/number of the episode where Josh gives a bunch of exposition to (I think) Penny? At one point, I think he has a diagram of who is sleeping with who--or maybe it was who was murdering who. I can't remember exactly. Thanks.
Each season available for $7
So I cant really talk on the other versions of Marina that are portrayed because she does at times just come across as straight up callous..
But anyone get a massive feeling that she has some signs of BPD? It's something I noticed with how quickly she became enamoured with Julia before suddenly dropping her and being extremely petty/jealous when she didn't want Quentin to die.
I wont go into detail why but I have some experience on the subject, from what i'm familiar with this favourite person attachment and split thinking (people wre either black or white, good and bad. It can be overwhelming to contradict these perceptions).
Would make sense why she has this "sometimes she seems good but she relapses into being selfish" routine.
Other than "maybe shes just an asshole" its my only rationalization for her behaviour, because she absolutely doesn't come across as completely callous especially when she came through for Julia after Reynard.
If it was an intentional portrayal, bravo honestly. I think it's pretty accurate with the above aspects, although she definitely seemed more outwardly destructive to others than self destructive, but ig portraying that would've costed more screentime lol.
It's the blacked out version so it isn't exactly Fogg's watch but I love it.
The watch is the Eone Bradley and it was designed by a blind veteran as a timepiece for blind people. I found this example on eBay for $50 and couldn't say no.
As promised, I’ve been watching the price of the series bundle and it looks like it’s back on sale close to its previous all time low! Check it out :)

Last night I walked around my house wearing Ember's shirt and Umber's ring RAMbling on about Children of Earth. It was a moment of pure joy amongst the chaos that is life currently.
I mean, I just have to ask: who here also watches RHOBH? I did the great rewatch like most of us before it was removed from Netflix and holy shit I NEVER NOTICED GARCELLE. Has this already been discussed? Where are my people
Honestly, as much as I love them, they'd be dead. Their finger tuts take too long to do anything.

As we all know by now Alice is my forever favorite(as witnessed by my Alice Meets Alice video). So when I noticed I put an Alice skirt in the upcoming The Magicians Props & Wardrobe auction accidentally I may have freaked out just a little bit. But then I thought about it and since I already own half of Alice's wardrobe from the show I decided to keep it listed. Hopefully this means that another Fillorian who also loves Alice as much as I do gets the skirt. Worn when she learned the Rhinemann Ultra in Season 2 Episode 2. Sadly I do not have the shirt that went with it but the skirt is absolutely beautiful.
