As usual, the Round Up is a monster! We discuss our characters in a new, flow flow floooow chart style! It kind of helped. It could have been 5 hours instead of three…

Episode 29: Beside Still Water

Michelle tDiE s2, The Descent is Easy 0 Comments

Episode 29 of The Descent Is Easy discusses Beside Still Water, Episode 20 of Season 2 of Shadowhunters.

This is the end. The end of Season 2. The end of Valentine Morgenstern. The end of Jace Herondale. The end of Alec’s competency… did we say that out loud? Yeah, yeah we did. And we will repeatedly say it in this episode.

Clary however is awesome. She is fierce and plucky and brave. Stupidly so. And it’s brilliant!

And our Buffy fangirl hearts beat a bit faster when we realise that Rupert Giles created Nephilim. Turns out he really is as amazing as we decided he was when we were 13!

Episode 28: Hail and Farewell

Ruth tDiE s2, The Descent is Easy 0 Comments

Episode 28 of The Descent Is Easy discusses Hail and Farewell, Episode 19 of Season 2 of Shadowhunters.

In which the Shadowhunters go Shadowhunting; Alec gets a hero shot that almost makes up for his last one, on a shopping cart; we attempt to psychoanalyse Jonathan Morgenstern (good luck to us…); we discover much to our shock that the mortal mirror plot line is kinda nonsense; Maia and Simon are still adorable; and the Clace is on! (see what we did there?)

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!

Episode 26: A Dark Reflection

Ruth tDiE s2, The Descent is Easy 2 Comments

In this episode Clary discovers her mother has even more plot significance than previously thought; Alec makes a grave error, possibly because he was distracted by lobster; Magnus is scary cross; and thank goodness for Luke. Meanwhile we’re totally down for Maia and Simon – we ship it, and we take a moment out of our previously scheduled broadcast to discuss Freud.

Episode 25: Day of Atonement

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 24: A Problem Of Memory

Ruth tDiE s2, The Descent is Easy 0 Comments

In this episode of The Descent is Easy we totally solve all the blood related red-tape issues of the Shadowworld, Simon makes some peculiar choices, we meet the many faces of Sebastian Verlac (Evil; Cupboard; Toast), we lament missed opportunities, and conclude that really none of that matters because Harry rocks… like really seriously awesomely…

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 22: Those of Demon Blood

Ruth tDiE s2, The Descent is Easy 0 Comments

In which Shadowhunters considers becoming a film noir – bodies turn up, Jace makes some super awesome decisions, and Luke is actually quite a lot like a cop. Magnus is in an odd place following last week’s wacky adventure. Maia is awesome, Simon is awesome, the Inquisitor is not a nice lady, and the NY institute has a change in management.

Episode 21: You Are Not Your Own

Michelle tDiE s2, The Descent is Easy 2 Comments

(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.
