Tmagp Ep 37 ending be like:

From seeing fanart of Jon from later seasons, I have been spoiled a little bit for his character design, so I’m just going to say that the line “He’s all eyes” is BRILLIANT foreshadowing.

MAG142: Scrutiny

You know how fanart always makes Jon's eyes glow when he uses his powers? I always imagined he has these nearly unremarkable dark brown eyes that turn to tiger's eye if the light hits right.

Before his transformation, when he witnesses a real statement, it's like a nicotine hit. As he gets stronger, it's less innocuous as nicotine and more like heroin. That soft brown that Martin fell in love with is the tiniest ring around the black of his blown pupils and, after the transformation, nothing really changes physically. He still stares the statement giver down with this hungry look, drowning them in the black holes that used to be his pupils. But now the statement giver feels the icy, oppressive energy, the claws that hook deep and drag that fear out for anyone to see.

Like in MAG142, Scrutiny, when the woman is talking about how he's sitting there, gulping down all her terror. It's like when you stare at something so hard your field of view distorts like fishbowl POV and she was forced to sit there under that.

for anyone who doesn't know what I mean by fishbowl, I've attached an example below the cut

When the magnus protocol episode has the same title as a magnus archives episode 😳 (I have not heard it yet and I am so excited)

Me when I’m about to explain why Scrutiny is the most important episode in TMA season 4 and how it’s not just a one off to give us an excuse to know how far gone Jon is.

And how it’s actually a parallel to how Jon was when he was first touched by the eye to how he is now which also give a good look at how terrifying this all is to a normal person because none of the cast are normal anymore and we the listeners aren’t either.

It’s a gateway to John needing more fear to live and an in depth look on what would happen to a regular person if they dealt with this which foreshadows the world’s reaction to the eyepocalypse.

And no I’m not insane or justifying my favorite season 4 episode and I’m not biased just because I love when supernatural shows give an outsider perspective so we can see how sane people in world perceive it:
