You know why this scene hits us so hard? Because Quentin IS us. We've all dreamed of being the main character. Of slipping into our favorite fantasy worlds. Of learning magic. Quentin wasn't the main character...he was the READER. He was all of us. So this scene...it's like WE died. WE are watching OUR friends, our loved ones, mourn us. And we are saying goodbye.
Never has a truer truth been spoken. Quentin was the inner child in all of us who dreamed of being more than we could be and found those dreams in the books we'd read. Also he got to see that his life really did make a difference and that he touched the lives of those closest to him. In the end isn't that what we all want, to know that what we did made a difference to someone and that all the hard work, the pain and suffering, the joy and happiness we experienced was worth it in the end.
The second Eliot comes and sings Q gets so expressive. To this day the death scene, Q’s worry about his reasons for sacrifice and this scene trip me up.
This show was one of things me and my Mom bonded over. I remember she bought me Eliot's key necklace. We would talk about it for hours, theories and what we liked about the characters and whatnot. She passed March 10th, 2023, I didn't get to say goodnight to her, and by the time she passed, I stopped watching this show. I totally forgot about this episode, and now that I'm watching it it kinda feels like I can say goodbye to her-- She was my Quentin. Goddamn this show.
I understand this this made me cry my ex ww still loved eachother very much but he was with his child so I left it alone but I wish I would’ve took him he was killed August 2023 and it’s been hitting me hard this is the hardest I’ve ever taken someone passing away and it’s almost like I get to say goodbye through this ending and I’m trying to accept our ending but it’s like someone stabs me over and over thinking about him and I feel numb
Honestly it hit me pretty damn hard too. Some personal shit for me was just a bit too close, that line about whether he died saving his friends or just to die, that hit me. Took me a while to process it.
I was so shocked and pissed that they killed him off(considering he is the main character of the books) but when i re watched the episode I cried like a little girl at the ending. Such a good rendition of this song. I know its just a story, but I hope i will have touched the lives of others and have "sincere greif" by my friends and family. Life is to be celebrated at death, but when it comes down to it, its the people who've we have impacted for tue better that is each of our legacies, not the money and power we all try to get..remember people.... our interactions and love for others is what defines our lives and is what's really important. Funny thing is, its the easiest thing possible, to not just think of yournself and help others if you can. Even listening to someones bad day on the train ride can ripple in ways you cant see.
I don't know why but this video feels like visiting a tombstone of someone I loved but never got to know. I come back to it every few months to pay my respects.
In my mind, the way Q looks and Eliot at 01:50 tells everything. He really liked Alice and Julia, but the one he truly learned to love with all his heart was Eliot.
I like how Kady completely understands Alice and immediately knows what everyone needs, then. The 2 singers who start the song are the ones whove lost their loves. And they're the two morons standing and watching it all wonderful-life-style...
It wasn't for a lack of trying by the fans. We did everything we could to get SyFy to renew it or at least let another network take it, but SyFy refused to release the IP for it.
This was one of my ex's favorite scenes, he really wanted me to watch it. He passed away so it's really heartbreaking watching this again, but very symbolic at the same time.
This was the first show I've ever watched that made me cry. I've grown to love Quintin so much, and seeing how much everyone cared for him and throw everything that reminded them of Q in the fire really hit me hard
This show….i watched at moments in my life when I needed a show with a lot darkness, and alot of light. Quinten was the light in this show. The one who still held magic like a child with his favorite toy…always in love, always with child like wonder. This moment, always hits so hard. Even when I saw the thumbnail I immediately tested up.
T_T damn it I've watched this a dozen times and i still tear up *edit* and watching it today years later i just realised Q's expression at seeing elliot is cause he didn't know if they had saved him or not till that moment
How is this okay? I mean he didn't even get to see Eliot again, he did all this to save him. Eliot was the last voice he heard. why did they do this to us? They deserved better.
I always wondered who Quentin would’ve picked between Eliot and Alice. Obviously Eliot never gave him the opportunity to even have a decision but if it was presented, I wanna know who he would’ve spent his last life with?
Elliot....the romance seemed to mainly be coming from Alice's side of things...He obviously liked and cared for her but based on his actions throughout he loved Eliot...They spent a lifetime together and as he mentioned they worked. He did everything to save Eliot hence why he died...sure it helped the world and all but it was mainly because of Eliot why he did it all. His face when he saw him was also telling.
I'm so mad that Quentin was killed off. This was his story. It should have been Alice. I know they aren't bringing him back next season, but I do hope he comes back at some point. He was the heart of the show.
