Worst case scenario: nobody in the writers’ room knows what pacing is. Best case scenario: the show just wants to get all of the background “out of the way” (so to speak) to clear time to do bigger and better things, fully immersing us in this alt-New York. The breakneck speed of action and exposition definitely slows this week. Long story short: I’m actually mildly impressed!
#SHADOW HUNTER SEASON 1 EPISDEO 2 SERIES#
But after the train wreck that was the series premiere, my expectations for “The Descent Into Hell Isn’t Easy” were at the sub-basement level. Don’t get me wrong there’s still a lot not sitting right with me. MAUREEN: Oh, just do what I do and get all the dirt from your relatives.ĬLARY: Well, I would if I could, but she doesn’t have any.Shadowhuntersundergoes quite a bit of improvement in its second episode. Besides, I really don’t know much about when she was young. SIMON: So, do you remember in Aliens, when the alien queen was defending her eggs from Ripley?ĬLARY: In this scenario, is my mom Ripley or the alien queen?ĬLARY: Defending me from what? I spend all day in an art studio. JOCELYN: Just let her be a kid for one last day.ĬLARY: My mom is so overprotective lately. Mom… uh, Mom? Mom, you have to let me go. JOCELYN: Breakfast, you and me, tomorrow. JOCELYN: You should come back here after. SIMON: But you are! See, we are going to Lombardi’s to celebrate your birthday after our gig. Yeah, it’s beautiful.ĬLARY: What is with you guys? I’m turning 18, it’s not like I’m headed off on some epic journey. LUKE: Did your mom talk to you about that? ĬLARY: The heirloom. LUKE: If I catch any of that paint on city walls, I will arrest you.ĬLARY: The paint is for Simon’s van. And if she’s unprepared, your life’s in danger. Captain’s got me on those demonic murders. JOCELYN: For now, I don’t want her part of our world. MAGNUS: She won’t be a child forever, Jocelyn. MAGNUS: You’re not protecting her, you’re deceiving her. JOCELYN: Please, Magnus, only a warlock can do this. WOMAN#1: Your daughter looks just like you. But can it be over breakfast, all right? I love you. JOCELYN: We need to have a much different and more important talk.ĬLARY: And we will. JOCELYN: But it’s… It’s your 18 th birthday, and, uh… everything’s gonna change for you now.ĬLARY: Mom, we’ve had the talk. But Simon and Maureen are taking me out after. I’m going to see Champagne Enema tonight.ĬLARY: Yeah, I know. I must have seen this around the house somewhere.ĬLARY: I can’t right now. It’s a family heirloom.ĬLARY: You know, it’s weird… I doodled something that looked like this this morning. You know, you’re way better at gift-giving than magically predicting the future.ĭOT: Nothing magical about it. But, I do see a birthday present in your future.ĭOT: Yeah, you might want to keep that on the DL, ‘cause your mom’s my boss and I don’t want her to flip out.ĬLARY: Yeah, but that’s how I know it’s cool. Turns out, predicting the future with tarot cards is very complicated. VARGAS: You’re already acting like a husband, go be one.ĭOT: The tarot cards tell me you got into the advanced program.ĬLARY: And by “the tarot cards” you mean “Simon’s twitter account”?ĭOT: Okay, I follow him. LUKE: Me and Jocelyn, we’re… we’re different.
VARGAS: I need you to do something for me. VARGAS: You know she can tell when you decline a call, right? Alaric and I are chasing down a bunch of leads.
L’chaim.ĪLARIC: Yeah, this one’s drained of blood. But I will replace your mythical biscotti with an actual one. SIMON: Maybe you ate it really fast and didn’t even notice. SIMON: I guarantee you I’m not the only smart, perceptive person to make that mistake.ĬLARY: But I could have sworn I had a biscotti. We sing together.ĬLARY: You seriously don’t know she’s been crushing on you this whole time?ĬLARY: Simon, how can someone as smart and perceptive as you not realize that the person sitting right there is in love with you? So… what’s the deal with you and Maureen? Yes, with Maureen, after our show.ĬLARY: Absolutely. SIMON: Which is why we are celebrating tonight. They kind of liked my assigned work, but they flipped out over the drawings for our graphic novel.ĬLARY: This day will go down in history as the greatest 18 th birthday I ever had. SIMON: What? The sad face? Really? Well played, well played.ĬLARY: Thank you. You know, with… with a scathing e-mail to the dean.ĬLARY: Don’t bother. SIMON: Give me the professors’ names and I… I will end them. WOMAN#1: The Brooklyn Academy of Art doesn’t believe in mistakes.
Nothing, just, um… some ideas for a graphic novel I’m drawing with a friend. WOMAN#1: This landscape is very… decorative.ĬLARY: Well, I wasn’t going for decorative, exactly.ĬLARY: Oh, those. Transcript for the first episode of Season 1, The Mortal CupĬLARY: Hey, can you watch where you’re going?
