Good episode. Fucking cliffhanger bullshit, though lol
Although kind of a plot hole I noticed

So Julia's baby has the power to stop anything that will harm the baby. Yet the Predator goblin thing is able to choke her out and the power doesn't kick in?

Direction seems pretty clear
1) Julia has to deal with the Reynard thing
2) Q has to deal with Alice
3) Elliot and Margo have to deal with Fillory, primarily because Elliot cannot actually leave there physically again
4) Penny just wants to fix his hands
There isn't a big "kill the Beast" arc going, but in a way it is sort of a metaphor for college/becoming an adult. When you're in college, the goal is clear. Once you're out of college, it becomes less structured and less clear.

Which is my point, they've got 4 major sub-plots going on, building up to a fifth (magic is failing). Feels like they would be doing better if they tightened things up and stop wasting episodes/budget on crappy random sub-plot episodes (bank Heist, riddles with Fogg's ex, the asylum episode in S1, etc).
Also Elliot's wife looks like a chubby Alison Brie. Just putting it out there.

I know this is a controversial statement, but even though Alison is incredibly hot, I find her more cute than anything. Maybe it's just because of watching her for years as Annie in Community.
But as a result, I have difficulty sexualizing her. I mean, yes I could, but she's the type of chick (at least from the show) that I would want to hang out with all the time.
Very sexy, but I still can't imagine doing really derogatory things to her.

I know that community would heavily sexualize her, but at the same time, she was also getting the "little sister" style support from other characters. Maybe that's why. I'm more the strange Troy & Abed type instead of the alpha Jeff Winger type.

Back on topic (would fuck Allison Brie in a heartbeat though), this show feels all over the place to me. They have too much going on without much in the future for payoff. Is Renard the big bad or is losing magic? The bank heist was a "cute" Oceans Eleven diversion but feel ultimately like a waste of time. They need to get it together if they want to have any sense of story this season.

I mean it's pretty clear what arcs they are focusing on: War in Fillory, Quentin trying to save Alice, Jules trying to kill Reynard.
There isn't some blatantly obvious foe they must come together and tackle like in Season 1, doesn't mean there is no story.

Just started binge watching the first season. On episode 7 right now and it seems that if you don't give this show your undivided attention, it's hard to make sense of anything. The main group of 4 just turned into geese (I think) and flew to Antarctica where some weird Russian guy is conducting trials. I have no idea what the fuck is going on.
