1. Elliot
This should come as little surprise to anyone who watches the show, but Elliot and, by extension Hale Appleman, became the official MVP of season one. While he wasn’t the clear hero of the show, his storyline was just as moving, if not more so. Emotionally guarded and casually flippant about being so with a self-destructive streak (not to mention clear addiction) few characters were as ill-equipped to become High King of Fillory at the end of the season, and yet there he was. This primes him for an even greater story arc in season two where he’ll be forcibly isolated from the rest of his friends, in a world where time passes differently and unable to leave. Already an undisputed scene stealer, we can’t wait to see what Appleman brings to the table this year, be it through his humor or the twinges of darkness that lurk underneath his perfectly fashioned exterior. – Allyson Johnson
