Episode 27: Awake, Arise, or Be Forever Fallen

Michelle tDiE s2, The Descent is Easy 6 Comments

Episode 27 of The Descent Is Easy discusses Arise, Awake or Be Forever Fallen, Episode 18 of Season 2 of Shadowhunters.

Unsurprisingly, this episode is long…

We talk about this episode containing all of the awesome and also, all of the awful. If you listen closely enough, you can hear the moment where Alec’s heart breaks in half and so do ours, because Alec lets go of Magnus’ hand. He lets go of his hand…

Also? Harry Shum Jr. is amazing. Just in case you forgot. He is.

And Clary’s arc of being a team player finally pays off when she has a thought, develops it into a plan and executes that plan flawlessly. You go girl!

The mobile phone head canon by maleccrazedauthor we mention in the episode can be found HERE – we thoroughly recommend it!

Michelle tDiE s2, The Descent is Easy 0 Comments

Episode 25 of The Descent Is Easy discusses Day of Atonement, Episode 16 of Season 2 of Shadowhunters.

We lament the absence of Luke and Magnus, discuss this weeks’ Lightwood drama, disturbing childhood memories of skinning things and ongoing confusion over werewolf law… mostly we raise a lot of questions in this episode and answer very few of them, so if you’ve been waiting to pitch in with your thoughts on all things Shadowhunter-y, this is definitely the time!

Episode 23: The Fair Folk

Michelle tDiE s2, The Descent is Easy 0 Comments

In Episode 23 of The Descent Is Easy we discuss The Fair Folk – Season 2, Episode 14 of Shadowhunters. We talk about various Public Alec Announcements, Maryse’s transformation, the Seelie court and its queen, Jace’s scarf, cryptic fire messages, Ollie’s confusing motivation for stalking Luke, Alec’s (dumb, dumb, dumb) decision to put the cute British boy in charge of security, the possible kinky explanations for keeping someone in your cupboard and the ridiculousness that is naming something ‘The Kill Tree’.

PSA: We’re still a little bit up and down in places on the volume and microphone discipline but I promise we are working on it! We hope it’s not too distracting!

Episode 21: You Are Not Your Own

(PSA: We have new recording equipment and promise to work on our microphone discipline if you promise to stick with us! Sorry for any ups and downs in volume!)

In this episode, Magnus is Valentine, Valentine is Magnus. Harry is Valentine, inside Magnus and Alan is Magnus, inside Valentine. And it’s all giving Michelle a headache. Damn you, body swapping episode! Luckily Ruth can be relied upon to keep thing on the right track!

Aside from all of that confusion, we mainly establish that while we knew Alan and Harry were going to knock this out the park, everyone is great in this episode and handing out MVP awards has never been this difficult.

Episode 18: By The Light Of Dawn

Michelle tDiE s2, The Descent is Easy 0 Comments

By the Light of Dawn, the Season 2a finale, leads us to discuss the weirdness of half seasons and half seasons finales, like two grannies complaining that ‘this kind of thing didn’t happen when we were young…’.

We spend a lot of this episode talking about diversity and representation on television, take a stroll down memory lane reminiscing about BBC’s Merlin, turn into a bit of a PSA about Society, Sexuality and Diversity, before asking the question on the tip of everyone’s tongue… Why exactly are there angelic power cores in all of the institutes? What do they do? And how were they built?

This is your last chance to VOTE IN OUR DRINKING GAME and decide exactly how drunk we are going to get…
