The Magicians: 1x05 Mendings, Major and Minor

I don't like the creative decision that magic comes from pain. It could have been from love, or both. But the idea that every one of the students are bubbling with rage in each and every spell seems pretty far-fetched. In Star Wars, dark magic is formed by anger, and light magic by... well, something like mindfulness and concentration, I guess. That would have been better. Maybe something like that appears later on in the series.

Stranger Things: 1x03 Chapter Three: Holly, Jolly

Good episode, but I think the Barb search could have been made more impactful.

The Magicians: 1x03 Consequences of Advanced Spellcasting

A bit filler-y episode. The dead brother thing is a bit of a tangent and also stupid, although it was emotional and helps build Alice's character.
If I was younger, I wouldn't have cared.

The book mating thing was a creative way for Marina to meet Quentin and stuff, but a bit too long and silly for me. Sofia's and Quentin's drama there is a bit... I don't understand why Q is such a jerk there, but I also kind of like that sequence for some reason.

Aging isn't a thing that is normally reversible. I don't understand why they didn't make it their number one priority to get off that planet's orbit.

The ending made me happy.

I like this film is more than the original TV series (1963-1989).*

*I have only watched serials from the first four Doctors, including the popular "Genesis of the Daleks."

Stranger Things: 4x06 Chapter Six: The Dive

I don't like that the show gives credence to the largely scientifically discredited, but popularity believed, idea of suppressed memories. This idea has caused a lot of harm to many individuals in the world. Other than that, it was a good or great episode.

Stranger Things: 3x01 Chapter One: Suzie, Do You Copy?

Probably the least moving episode in the series for me. But I still liked it. It's really wonderful. And I love seeing the kids grow up.

I like that they took it slowly, not immediately jumping into action. It's like the beginning of a movie, rather than trying to be a whole movie in itself. They knew that people who like the show will continue to watch the series. Still a lot of things going on though.

The Magicians: 1x04 The World in the Walls

The only thing I can say out of spoiler is, I think a part of this episode is a bit redundant.

The episode is a bit filler-y, but very good filler, and it does tie in to the story and character relations. How is it filler then? Well, the long dream-like sequence I think does not forward the main plot very much, and it doesn't seem to affect Quentin psychologically after this, except that he's mad at Julia.
