A few of us were speculating in the chat about how Season 1 of "The Magicians" will end. Here's what we know:
1. From Jason (via Andi): Season 1 won't get as far as Quentin having white hair 2. From Hale (via Dani): Something bad will happen at the end of S1, but to Eliot, not Quentin 3. From the teaser for S1E11: Our bbs are going to Fillory to take on The Beast.
So, how do YOU think S1 will end?

It sounds to me like they are going to get the the battle with the niffin thing and all that and then just. end on a cliffhanger. because its been renwed for another season and they can get away with that. plus then Q waking up however many months later it was and all that technically happens. im not sure how they would handle that to the very end of the book then book two, but at least we've covered a lot of julia's plotline already so thats like half the book.

Maybe it has to do with the beast possessing Mike? Like more of that angst since the finale will probably be around the time Eliot meets the beast in person for the first time.

When I get home I am definitely going to find the Hale interview I read that in. But I really really hope they don't Turn Alice into a niffin because then it is in a way following the women in the refrigerator trope and it will seem like it's just to forward Quentin's hero plot by making him angst. She isn't important enough to everyone yet so the consequences will seem like a plot device rather than truly impacting like they were in the series. It's just too soon.

^ Honestly, Alice being a niffin isn't fridgey imo. She does this after Penny's hands have been eaten, after Janet (Margo here I guess) has used her gun to no effect, They're all thoroughly fucked, not simply Q, and she draws on her own pain to save them--niffins have a pretty personal meaning to Alice, as does becoming one to help someone else. Also, she's not actually dead and maintains all memories and development she has as a niffin, and that effects the later plot and her own arc, and she's ultimately destroyed. So really, I think it'd be a detriment to her character if she never gets to be a niffin and explore the world's beginning and kill birds and such.
I do think maybe they'll end it with the battle, though, particularly because it would give them a good place to start, with him being munched by Martin and then start s2 with him waking up in the hospital. Maybe show a bit of what went on with Eliot, Margo and Julia while he's busy being in a coma. I could also perhaps see it ending with the group going to the neitherlands and have the finale's last big scene be them going into the Fillory fountain Fo Sho and then you can start the season 2 with a bang?
Theory for Eliot... fuck, no idea. Maybe he'll be more nastily injured when they're running around and the cacodemons are proving useless? maybe he's referring to Eliot's spiral into depression and addiction and hopelessness? Or his thought that Q is dead and he's now mourning his loss? He ruins another button-down fighting the beast? OH maybe the beast makes itself look like Mike while he fights it, or casts the illusion of being so, so he's open and becomes incapacitated?

I really hope they don't turn Alice into a niffin yet, just because I think she has more potential as a character before that happens, but I have a feeling that they will and I think that's how the season will end. Then again, in the books she gets to finish school and graduate from Brakebills, and obviously they aren't there yet, so maybe they'll put it off? But then how would they end up beating the beast without her doing what she did? ugh! As for something bad happening to Eliot... I don't even want to think about it My guess would be more Mike-related angst because between that and the whole 'hey I killed someone when I was a kid' I think Eliot has a lot of issues about that.

i really dont think/hope theyre gonna turn anyone into a niffin. or kill anyone off. and definitely no white haired quentin. bookwise, thats all after graduation. and the shows timeline is currently finishing up second semester of year 1. based on what they said, about having enough material to write for 6 seasons, id hope wed get a bit more of brakebills, at least for a bit more in s02, before they go off into all the big fillory drama
i vagely remember the interview hale did... all i can think of is that if something was to happen, whatever it was would help take him out of his current 'dark' state and back into the eliot we all know and love

Maybe the bad thing is just Eliot losing control of his life post grad like we know he does? That's not really an event so much as a process, though, so I'm not sure how that would work out.
I didn't know the six seasons, Matty! Yeah then they probably won't get anywhere near niffinhood in s1 I'd hope. Maybe this battle with the beast doesn't end in his being defeated then.

yeah i highly doubt any magic they'll learn will do any good. i mean, the spell kady cast on the beast only knocked him back a bit, but we saw on quentin and mike, it threw them a good distance. and the spell the dean cast seemed to be quite powerful, but again, only knocked him on his back. no real damage

Eliot's the only one who's been able to do any damage whatsoever, honestly. He manage to actually do damage to the beast's body. Also Alice was able to make the moths fall, and damage his mask.
So it seems like if anyone does anything to the beast, it'll be Alice or Eliot.
