Discussion: Season 4 Episode 1, "A Flock of Lost Birds"

[allheadybooks]

This is the official discussion post for the Season 4 premiere episode! Feel free to jump into the comments below and share your reactions, questions, best lines, weirdest moments, quippiest quips, and most tragic facial expressions.

I work Wednesday nights (unfortunately), so I will be joining in tomorrow once I've had a chance to watch the episode. I'm planning to use SyFy's one-day-delay streaming option, but if anybody knows of a good black market source for fresh-off-the-back-of-a-truck Magicians eps, do us all a favor and link below.

This post is just for discussing the episode itself. A second post will go up tomorrow where we can collect screencaps, icons, gifs, fic prompts, episode codas, and meta about the episode.

Google tells me Blair Sandburg is from a show called The Sentinels? And I can kinda see it??

This show's shameless lamp-shading is honestly one of the best parts about it. Having Margo say it? A GIFT WE DO NOT DESERVE!

Yeah that was a show with a mega fandom in the 90s/early 2000s, and Blair is the anthropologist character who like studies weird superpower people. Small, awkward nerd, basically. I have never seen the show but picked this much up through fannish osmosis

Fannish osmosis is such a blessing! I learned something new today.

All hail smol awkward nerds with long hair!
