(Which do not even get me started on him saying that much less the way he does because it definitely gestures to his background of being from Indiana because 'ain't' is a very Midwestern term, as a Midwestern human myself, I know.) Earlier that very same day was when he killed Mike. When Eliot yells at Alice for wanting to help the ghosts of Plover's house. He's almost never sober, and when he is, well he's not the fun Eliot we're all used to. His already excessive alcoholism and smoking addiction get worse and worse as the season progresses after his killing Mike.

I think something might really be broken.' When he tells the Margolem: 'I think Professor Lipson could have been wrong about me. Like Margo, I thought Mike was just 'random cock,' but he's not. You can tell just how hard it is for Eliot to do it because he looks like he's going to cry like the entire time. Margo, which is pre-established from their trials Quentin, when he tells him about the kid he killed when he was 14 and Mike, who he tells about his actual past. He's only opened up enough to tell three people secrets in season 1. Once Eliot has allowed you to affect him, you truly affect him. We've obviously seen that with his relationship with Quentin. When Eliot tells Quentin in episode 2 that he bonds fast. Now that I'm rewatching, with I guess you could say trained eyes, I understand him so much more. I ended up finding Eliot almost insufferable after the 'Mike incident.' And for the longest time I didn't understand Eliot's actions.

So, its probably obvious from my account that Eliot is my favorite.īut something I ignored my first watch through of The Magicians, which I will admit was much more of a 'casual' watch through, was the whole Mike and Eliot storyline. I just really like talking about all my observations/theories.Īlso I did not plan on writing anything about this topic, but my entire body literally tensed up when I saw the actor for Mike on another show the other day and my brain went full ham about it. I really am like Quentin with this fandom I swear.
