I tried talking it up to people. I have no idea how to get this thing's ratings up, but I'm under no delusion that if the numbers don't support the show, SyFy won't bring it back for season 4. [Reply]
Was it me or was there about double the normal amount of commercials? I recorded it and started about 20 minutes late so I could FF through them but JFC it seemed like this show was about half commercials.
With that said, I thought it was a great start to the season. [Reply]
After recently posting that I wait for this to hit Amazon Prime, ATT brought fiber to my neighborhood and hooked me up with the goods. It was kinda satisfying to finally tell Cox to fuck off completely.
I'm considering purchasing each episode on Amazon as they release. Just under $40 for the season doesn't feel too painful. Normally I would torrent that shit, but I want to reward this show. Also, I just purchased an HD projector that should arrive today. I'm pretty stoked to watch this show on a 10' screen (limited by room size). [Reply]

Re-dubbing cuss words has aggravated me more than the commercial breaks. [Reply]
The cussing thing's starting to get on my nerves. They've allowed it on other shows, even went so far as running an ad campaign leading into the latest season of the Magicians centered around how all the 'fucks' wouldn't be bleeped. I just don't get it. Maybe it's related to the advertisers.
Speaking of that, maybe I'm just used to watching on Prime, but goddamn it seems like there's a lot of commercial breaks.
These first 3 episodes have been fantastic! So far it's shaping up to be the best season yet. I really hope it doesn't get cancelled because its a great show. [Reply]

That said, it's a good season so far.
I have never understood the obsession of some with allowing(or not) of cuss words. I'm older now - ancient actually - and I use very few cuss words so their absence doesn't bother me. However, I do remember my time in the service and I used words that would make a sailor blush. So when I hear a cuss word it seldom bothers me. I'm fine either way; it doesn't affect my enjoyment of the show.
I must add that I watched "The Magicians" this season and the girl who played Margo was absolutely hilarious. Her usage of cuss words was marvelous indeed. :-) [Reply]
The language is an integral part of Avasarala's character in the books. That's mostly why it bugs me. Either cut it completely or leave it alone. Covering it up with badly dubbed 'freak's is dumb. [Reply]
