> [@Chimera](#): > > We’ve already got one potential enemy for next season, the Dark King of Fillory. I think after potential world ending enemies the last few seasons, it is time to dial it back slightly for a season. The ever bigger and badder enemies bit doesn’t pay off for too long and the Monster and his sister were kinda the top end. Pretty much why I think its the perfect time to bring Brakebills back to the fore and with new characters being brought onboard as the season progresses. I love the show and the current characters, but sooner or later its going to jump the shark and become a parody. Either end it or reboot it. Personal guess is that the Dark King is going to be Mayakovsky ---

Just watched the last episode again and… Josh has to be gone too, since the farmer said that High King Fen and Josh the Fresh Prince had been overthrown 300 years earlier ---

Chimera - re: your spoiler on Julia- [spoiler]I don’t think Julia is a ‘mortal with magic’ - I think she made her choice and got what she wanted - which is her godhood back. It took time for her to actually make the choice that that is what she wanted. I recall an episode where someone lied about a pregnancy test - said it was false when it was positive - the other person who was originally distraught over what she wanted was more distraught that it was negative - and the other person said “well, now you know what you really want” or something to that affect - so penny didn’t choose mortal - penny somehow chose ‘let her choose’ and she finally did.[/spoiler] agree with you overall - they need to make next season a little easier to follow - way to many threads all over the place to keep up with. It did finally pay off wonderfully tho. Loved the bits with the eye. ---

Re: Julia I was thinking maybe it would end up being another god telling her next season: “Only you can make that choice. It can’t be made for you. So where you go from here is up to you.” ---

So where you go from here is up to you.” [spoiler]I seem to recall that being what the one goddess told her just before she got possessed this time. Or are you suggesting yet another god telling her that next season[/spoiler] ---

Just finished this season. Blown away. In the first episode, was Margo the only one whose appearance was unchanged for her false identity? ---
