A Life in the Day

I can't describe how much I love this episode. I'm glad to see that it's the season's highest rated episode. The Magicians should write more episodes like this. Ever since that threesome with Margo, Eliot and Q on Season 1, I just had a feeling that is not going to be the last, and I can't believe, for once in my life, I was right! It's been fun to watch these crazy misfits go on their separate adventures, which the usual pairs and partners in crime but and seeing Eliot and Q pair up for an adventure of their own warmed my heart in so many ways. I love how this episode explores love in all forms which is not that common in fantasy shows. Seeing Eliot and Q live out their lives with a family of their own in a separate timeline deserves a lot of praise and recognition; it was also unbelievably insane! (Who lives out their whole life arranging mosaic? That has to drive you nuts!). Hopefully, this is not the last we see of Eliot and Q together.

I am a full grown man, and I never cry, but the scene with Elliot and Q was so damn well done that I actually shed a tear out of its sheer beauty and portrayal, although the scene was so short. Regardless, this episode remains of of my favorites in the entire series, and I bet many of you will agree with me.

This episode ALWAYS leaves me in tears. The entire sequence between Q and Elliot is so beautiful in every way--the filming, the directing, the acting. Truly my favorite episode of the entire series to date.

It is always a wonder to me how much story can be told with almost no dialogue. A truly well written episode.

All the feels! Wonderful to watch! Although the type of this story isn't actually very rare, the way it's shown is unconventional, and is pretty much exclusively reserved for a very open minded sci-fi type show.
