This absolutely had me captivated. Sadly, it never really got back to this level of tension or intensity of dread.

[RadagonTheRed]

The new viewer assumes Dean Fogg is probably a Dumbledore level badass, so the moment he bursts in to the room, the viewer thinks that everything is going to be fine and that the day is saved!

When The Beast casually freezes him on the spot, breaks every bone in Fogg’s hands with a few simple hand movements, and then proceeds to pull out his eyes, we realise that we are dealing with a seriously powerful and dangerous entity.

This is a master class on introducing a character with fear and dread. It made this show for me. This character was horrifying the second we see him I love it.

[crypticandchoatic]

I am genuinely mournful of the fact I never felt like the tension or the feelings the beast was supposed to bring up ever reached this level again

I never even noticed that Quentin dropped the coin on purpose to help Fogg. I always thought that it slipped out by accident, but he was actually doing magic!

Rewatching this, I recognize where this scene was shot. It’s the Library at the Ogden Museum in New Orleans

The amount of thrill and suspense watching this scene for the first time. Adrenaline rush.

Love how Dean Fogg takes on the Beast head on.

This show had so much potential
But this scene was the only thing done right

[ShoppingBored]

The beast has no chillm couldn't he just wait for end of the school year? 🤣

June 2024 and the actor who plays Martin C is now on the soap, General Hospital and he is just as charming and sinister lol.

The show was great for the most part of first season while they were following the book's story arc. Then it went downhill for me. Starting from the point when they introduced Amber (or Umber? Can't recall, it's been years...) and it started to turn into a joke.

[Iblamethebarrels]

This show was so good at this time. I hated the magic running out plot so much

[Lobselvith]

this whole scene was great, then they ruined it when they showed his face and made him comical later on.

they had a good thing and they should have stuck to it.

[cal_oh]

I couldn't take this show seriously. It's a good premise but the execution is so off. The weird magic system, the boring characters, weird writing... none of it was pulled off in a good way.
