Poll of the Day > Checking out this show called The Magicians.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I like magic, I saw an episode of it before and I was curious. So I thought, might as well check it out and see how it is.

I don't even know what that is.

Its where penn and teller have magicians on and they do their act and if penn and teller cant figure out how its done they win

Ah. I was never a fan of Penn and Teller, but that sounds neat. I'd probably watch it.

I love the show. It gets a little drama heavy but it plays out well. Always keeps me entertained from the very first episode.

Yeah, it's interesting so far. I'm a huge fan of things magic so I guess it wouldn't actually take much to get me interested.

Bonus, the ladies are nice and hot!

extra bonus: The "rebel" dude is quite annoying. I hope he does something better at some point.

Hmm, Julia was the person I was most excited to see have some part in the story. But I felt it took too long for her time to come and I also didn't like the "twist" of what happened to her.

I still liked the first season and I'll watch the second season.

I really liked Margo in season 1, but in season 2 I'm not liking her as much. It's like she's on some sort of power trip.

Dude. It's Margo and she was declared a queen. Of course she let that shit go to her head. She wouldn't be Margo if she handled it any other way.

The encounter with Reynard? Keep watching. It's an important factor in the development of her character.

I agree, but not in how it's going to her head currently.

I guess? I just really liked how she was when her and Quentin (sp?) were wandering around Fillory (sp?) and they were both just kind of geeking out. I would have preferred if they took care of the Beast at the end of the first season then had Reynard be the main villain in the second season. That they got the power from Ember or whatever his name is, then they go thank him and that's when he gives Julia her memory back.

But the second season has been alright so far.
