the magicians kicks off season 2

It was a strong opening to season 2, the fallout from the showdown with the Beast and traveling to Fillory was handled very well, loving this new season after a pretty strong season 1

Wrapping up last season and setting the new

Warning: Spoilers
Great opening into a forest - dark and heavy music to be let down by finding out 'god power' saved Alice which is a cheap way of saving the day – meh. A lot of glib remarks to let you know the show likes to poke fun at itself. However Penny is so funny, just walking around holding onto a box which holds his hands that he keeps looking at. Then the show basically follows a never ending list of quests to make the story move along and the dialogue is just people reacting to each situation. Julia runs around with Martin making deals and they start hunting for the Fox to seek deadly revenge on Earth.

Finally the show has introduced some music into the series at key locations which is always welcoming.

Kings & Queens are crowned, bridges are found and they go off into castle Whitespire's armoury room to win the day - which is funny. Quentin and Alice try to rekindle their love for each other sort of... a seed is planted you'll get it :) Julia and Henry talk about removing Julia's shade (pain/love center) which looks and sounds interesting. Then at the end of the show, the team have to go back to Brakebills on Earth except for Eliot who needs to stay in Filory as the High King.

This episode feels like a filler building you up to cooler stuff to come and the teaser to the next episode is why :)
