What single episode would you use to get someone hooked?
A. I don't want to use the Pilot. It has a slow burn and I personally didn't watch the Magicians for YEARS after it premiered because a friend of mine introduced me with the pilot and I was disinterested.
B. I don't want to use A Life In The Day. Yes it's a wonderful episode but you don't actually appreciate it without understanding the Quest and the previous aspects of Q and El.
C. I don't want to use Six Short Stories. Again amazing episode but you just can't appreciate it without understanding prior information.
Be The Penny is what I'm thinking about using. It has such a good blend of humor, introduces the characters well, and doesn't spoil to much for someone who hasn't actually watched the series.
But I'm open to other suggestions and why you would pick them. :)
