THE MAGICIANS | Season 4, Episode 13: Sit Back And React | SYFY

[mrwellick]

Q's expression when he saw Eliot literally made me sob. They deserved so much better.

[WaterGuuru]

The fact that Julia rediscovers her magic the way Q first discovered his with the card tricks, and the fact she says exactly what he said literally killed me

[raymayo]

El never even got to see Q after he realized that he really loved him

[samuelbrionese]

I started tearing up when Q says to Penny "Did i finally manage to kill myself or did I do something brave to save my friends?" Then this scene happens and I was a sobbing moppy mess... Such a good ending for a magnificent character

[nicolevirlinda]

I just watched this episode and ugly cried so hard to this scene. I didn't know I loved Q as much.

[Ghazannn]

I’m legitimately not able to talk about what happened just yet.

[HectorLugo]

If the character is well and truly gone, then I can't imagine a better send off to a beloved character than this. I have never seen a show get it so right when saying goodbye to a character. My hope is that, like with Penny, Q can come back in some other way, but if he doesn't, I will be very happy with the way it ended for him.

I'll say this, though, as someone who was, at one point, very suicidal, I absolutely appreciate and understand his question to Penny. I have to ask myself all the time, am I doing this thing because I want to, or because somewhere deep inside I am still trying to destroy myself.

Beautifully done!

[aislinnberry]

Quentin was such a symbol to all of us who have tried to escape the world through magical books and fantastic stories. He represented those of us who felt as if we “didn’t fit” in this world but held on for something better. I lived my dream through watching Q live his. I’m heartbroken, but comforted knowing everyone else is just as sad. Thanks for everything, Q.

[stormyweathers]

I just realized the spell Kady did was the same spell Q did for under pressure and im in pain pain

[mattnielsen]

I cried during last years episode "A Life In A Day" this was 10 times more painful. Saying good bye to the awkward hero we have all been rooting for the last 4 years.

[ryryspoon]

I'm so crushed over Quentins death, but even more crushed than the fact that will never get to see Eliot and Quentin get together. Eliot lost his shot at true and now has to live with that forever

[MarcussQueen]

Me: I want Julia become a Goddess
Writers: Julia Become human
Me: well almost I want quentin and eliot be together
Writers: lets go kill Q

[lunarsystem]

Quentin's face when seeing that Eliotn is alive and safe breaks my goDAMN HEART EVERYTIME

[LudvigIndestrucable]

'Their story is just beginning, but it won't be the same, because of you' no-one gets to have such a heartfelt sendoff and rounded ending and still gets to come back. Good bye Quentin, you will be missed.

[erenakay]

Julia :( she looks so sad, but tries to stay strong then she burst out of cry.

[JessySquiggles]

I'm never going to be able to watch this without full on sobbing.
The expression on Q's face when he sees Eliot broke me.
Eliot never got to see Q again after finally understanding his feelings, and now that won't happen.
Don't even get me started on the realness of Q saying "Did i finally manage to kill myself or did I do something brave to save my friends?" before this scene even happens.

[Onemelami]

Genuinely thought his character was going to survive this or get rescued next season, upset about this 💔

[Grabbinglifebytheguts]

Penny's line, "It's ok, I've met you" is one of my favorite lines on the show. Funny but moving, showing how much Penny had grown but also that they were in fact, friends.

[milton]

I couldn't breathe at the end of this episode.

[Hamood-xoey]

I've never actually cried EVER for a show before
