The Ardent Eccentric – The Magicians – S2 E10 – The Girl Who Told Time

The Ardent Eccentric – The Magicians S2 E9 – Lesser Evils
This week, many members of the gang had to choose between the lesser of two evils, which of course, ties in perfectly with the episode’s title, “Lesser Evils.” Some were conflicted by this choice, others…
The Ardent Eccentric – The Magicians S2, E8 – Word As Bond
Episode 8 seemed to be all about unrealistic hopes and dreams, and what happens when you refuse to acknowledge the futility of them – you either go beyond anything you ever imagined possible through sheer…

The Ardent Eccentric – Magicians S2E3 – Divine Elimination
Divine Elimination is a multilayered title this week, working from the lowest to the highest form. Elimination of souls, elimination of waste, elimination of control. It’s also pretty harrowing that we’re only up to episode…
The Ardent Eccentric – Magicians S2E2 – Hotel Spa Potions
Episode 2 of Season 2 of The Magicians slowed things down this week, and explored personal relationships between the good, the bad, and the sexy. We also had the return of Marina (a villain who…
The Ardent Eccentric-The Magicians S2E1: Knight of Crowns Review/Recap
We’re back, bitches. Like, literally. Season 2 of the The Magicians premiered on Syfy Wednesday night, and I’m back writing. After a long hiatus due to a series of self-inflicted mishaps with my computer (bit…
