And it's a really convenient place to hang your rosary…

TGI Fridays threatened to sue if they went with their preferred new motto:
"Out there is may be the 21st century, but in here it's 1860"

Not to nit-pick or anything, but I'm pretty sure the correct pronunciation is:
"Mormons in Spaaaaaace"

To paraphrase Al Capone — You can get further with Good Intentions and stolen Martian gunship than you can with just Good Intentions.

Holden is definitely the least likely person to tell the 'This Guy!' joke.

Grossman himself has said one of his favorite things about the TV version is that the Julia and Quentin storylines run in parallel. He said he didn't introduce Julia into book 1 in a serious way because he didn't yet know who the character was. But looking at it from the perspective of a completed story arc, it's a…

Grossman gets an EP credit for Magicians and is pretty actively involved in the production — but not nearly to the degree Expanses authors are. Those two guys have written for TV before, yes? It was interesting to watch Grossman lead the ComiCON panel with the show cast and he's done some AMAs and what not talking…

Penny clearly did an intensive summer session at the James Tiberius Kirk School of Acting for that one.
Cue Allan Rickman's character from Galaxy Quest snarking: "Well, I see you managed to get your shirt off…"

Astral. Projectoin. Incest.

Best band name ever. Thank you, Tom Hardy, you are doing God's work here.

I would pay cash money to see Julia Louis-Dreyfous drop f-bombs with those two while in a Regency dress and hair-do!

Srsly, how that wasn't just a random hiccup from the Dickensian Name Generator app is beyond me.

My favorite joke from the books was that in that semi-closed environment (Mariner Valley) the Texas accent proved to be "viral."

They seem to be sticking close the book background, it just kinda gets lost among the major plot arcs. Amos had a seriously f***ed up childhood in Baltimore (which apparently didn't flood quite as badly as NYC and became a space port somehow). He had to do some seriously bad shit to survive, but has a lot of empathy…

Failing lame-stream media wants you to believe Lee surrendered to Grant. Sad.

I think Season 1 Q and Book 1 Q both have a long road to travel before they "get it" — "It" being a pretty big combination of Who They Are, What Magic Is, How to Adult, Truly Caring About Other People (he thankfully graduates from his one-sided adulation of Julia to a much deeper connection) and Being A Hero Without…

In Q's defense, I'll say that he is "learning life isn't like fantasy literature" even though the he finds out the setting for the fantasy world that helped define his character IS real. And so is magic. Those are pretty big complicating factors for any self-absorbed manic depressive just working to get his normal…

Rewatching Season 1 on Netflix and the f-bombs are not muted. I think because of its time slot it has to do that. But once it hits syndication, gloves are off, bitches.

From Season 1 Finale: "Thanks, Witch and Fool!"
We know at least one squad member who is frequently there for comic relief.

Mar-golem and Nega-Quentin both end up in Fillory and Shakespearean levels of mistaken identity farce ensue. Yackety Sax might get played.
Or it gets depressing and message-y when hot, confident Q-Clone shows up and everyone would rather hang out with him.

Well, if they're pulling in the whole "magic is dying in Fillory" angle, then they are dipping into Book 3 territory. How much I have no idea since running the Q and Julia stories in parallel during season 1 brough forward a huge chunk of Book 2. Can't wait to find out, but hope that doesn't mean we only get 2 seaons…
