And unashamedly so, if I read it right.
Well, maybe it'd be better to say the movies are what they are - and proudly, at that - but I don't think *anyone* thinks Lito's filmography is littered with (the Mexican analogue to) Academy Awards and Golden Globes. Or that it should be.

Subtle.

I should try the book @avclub-ed279991297d161c6fa41c29869c19ac:disqus mentions, then.

I agree, but/and… that may be one of the character's best and strongest ties to his canon character.

Dead.

Bored now

That was beautiful.

Daaaamn.

Gosh, since the troll wrote out such a long (equally-laughable-as-their-last) response, I should probably engage with it. I bet if I try really hard, they will see reason.

Concern troll is concerned.

You know, Ghost, you were kinda being a dick, but that last comment about 20 yo's dying for the country was dead f'n on point. Well said.

When he and Bar were working on the punching bag, he's holding it, looking up at Barry, and saying, "Harder!" I mean, how much am I going to have to pretend I don't see?

When Eddie walked on screen and does the sweet, gay, "Hey, Bar" coo at Barry, I actually felt a pang of loss: I really had missed Big Gay Eddie and his boyfriend Barry. I like to believe that, if Eddie had lived, we would have had a Very Special Episode about his coming out within a year.

I agree a huge part of *the book* is the Chatwins; that doesn't mean the TV story is.
We obviously weren't supposed to know Eliza was Jane until right before her death (her "death", maybe?), though I and I am sure many others suspected it. And I think the feeling that we "don't know what is going on" is more a feeling…

It's been clear to me that this show is anything but a standard "adaptation"; it's telling stories in more-or-less the same universe about more-or-less the same characters, but the actual plotlines are going to be completely different.
It took me a little while, but I am now completely OK with it. I like being…

My point exactly.
It is funny, isn't it, how, for many of us, the faithfulness of the storyline reproduction was somehow both our first and our only measure of quality of the show? I *love* that they are clearly going their own way with the Magicians' world, but, like you, I didn't know that before it all started…

I think another reason not to be surprised by such an event would be the clear intent of the show runners to tell a different story. This is not a plotline adaptation; they've taken the universe of The Magicians book series and are telling a similarly populated story using the characters but not the events.
It took me…

Just have to say that I haven't enjoyed Glee this much in years. That episode was a blast, and ridiculous in the right ways. Spencer with his shirt off didn't hurt.

I think this week's episode was better than Part I was, but that's not hard to do. I enjoyed the ND's numbers, and there were plenty of funny comments.
