Winx Club S4 E2

## Plot

Faragonda tells the girls that centuries ago, Earth was full of fairies, also called terrestrial fairies. Also called major fairies. Yeah, they have a lot of names. Then the Wizards of the Black Circle appeared. They began defeating the fairies and gaining more power. They even defeated Morgana, Queen of the Earth fairies. Blah, blah, blah, more pointless lectures and humans are bad stuff. The Winx need to get the people of Earth to believe in magic again. They reunite with their Specialist and wizard boyfriends. Tecna and Timmy even kiss! Eep! Bloom is upset because she misses Sky. They haven't had much time together since he started king training. The boys reveal that they brought him along. Idiots. Lovable idiots. The girls have to leave though. After they're gone, Faragonda speaks to the boys. She lied to the Winx and sent for the boys herself. She wants them to follow the girls to Earth to help them against the Wizards of the Black Circle, but also doesn't want them to lose any more confidence in themselves. Wait, what? *Faragonda* is responsible for that later plot point that I hate? What the hell Faragonda? The Specialists have helped the Winx out on way more important and less dangerous missions before. Season 2, anyone? Or season 3? Just tell the girls, "I'm sending your boyfriends with you for moral support and because they can help you kick ass." Okay, they don't really, but still! Better than having them barely be involved at all like in season 5. And 6. And 7. That was just poor writing. They have an airship! Either convert it into a sub or just give them a damn submarine to use underwater and some scuba gear! We see that they have it in season 8, not to mention a spaceship! Authority is wasted on the bureaucrats when it should be given to the creative thinkers. Dazel20, 2016. Tecna says that they can find the last Earth fairy by looking at the Tree of Life in the Pixie Village. Everyone magical has a place on that tree. Stella doesn't remember it. Again, season 2. Then again, only Flora and Aisha went there that time. The girls can't find the pixies in the village. They shrink down into Mini Winx. Because Bloom earned her full Enchantix in the movie, it's her first time becoming small. They find Piff sleeping. Then a big lipped alligator moment comes when the girls fight and destroy… something. Instead of, say, looking for the other pixies, they decide to camp for the night. Why can't they just wake up Piff and try to ask her what happened? More season 2 clips are shown. That thing shows up again. Oh, so it wasn't just a BLAM. Fine, I take it back, but half halfheartedly so. It's like an empty void. It's coming from Piff's nightmare. Figure it out girls! Aisha, calm her down! This should take five minutes max to resolve. The dementor rip off for kids appears to eat Stella, but she's just stuck, and the pixies are there too. Oh right, the pixies have new voices too. They suck. Aisha, being smart, or at least competent, figures it out and also lampshades why they didn't think of this before. Someone is still my favorite. Good. Please keep it that way. The girls *finally* try convergence magic on it. That still doesn't work. Aisha removes a butterfly clip from Piff, and it makes the monster disappear. It's called a dream eater butterfly. Aisha would know a lot about nightmares, what with her having lots and Piff being the pixie of dreams. It makes a person, or in this case, a pixie's nightmares real.

## Review

I swear, it's like they know how badly they're doing and are throwing in clips and references to past seasons to try and appeal to our childhood nostalgia. Well, it's not gonna work on me! Oh my gosh, this is a stupid clip show! What the hell writers and creators? It's like you've completely given up already, and that doesn't happen until seasons 6 and 7.
