W.I.T.C.H.

W.I.T.C.H. was a television show that aired on Toon Disney. It had two seasons with 26 episodes each, for a total of 52 episodes. It's about five girls from Earth who are chosen to become heroes called the Guardians of the Veil, with each one wielding a specific element. They must fend off monsters who come through holes in said veil called portals. They have to defeat the monsters and close the portals with the Heart of Kandrakar, a mystical talisman that transforms them into Guardians. In season 1, they meet a rebel from another planet and help him try to overthrow the evil ruler while searching for the true heir to the throne. In season 2, they have to try and stop a cunning enemy from regaining her former powers, otherwise she'll take over the universe because she has a god complex. They call themselves W.I.T.C.H. because it's an acronym of their initials: Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia, and Hay Lin.

Speed Racer: The Next Generation

A sequel series to the 1967 Japanese anime. The original Speed Racer was one of the first animes to be dubbed in English for Western audiences. This series was mostly made to promote the live action film, though both are independent of the other. The first season premiered on May 2, 2008. The second season aired about three years later, on March 24, 2011. The second and final season ended on a cliffhanger. It's about the sons of the original Speed Racer, who disappeared years ago, attending a racing school run by their uncle Spritle, while also dealing with evil plots from villains who either want to get rich or take over the world. It actually gets pretty dark in the final season, before all of that is unfortunately erased through the worst ret-con method ever invented by mankind: Time travel.

Winx Club S1 E6

## Plot

Bloom is in the library. She's trying to find out what the witches want with Stella's ring. The girls name them the Trix. Bloom wants to look up the dragon that sparked the Sacred Fire. She has a feeling that it's not just a myth. Faragonda tells her about it. In the beginning, there was nothing. Then a bright light appeared. The great dragon used his breath to create the Magix dimension, and all the worlds. He chose to lie down on a planet called Domino. Bloom heard from Stella that Domino is a cold and desolate place. It is, but it wasn't always like that. Dark forces attacked Domino and put out the Dragon's Flame. Stella wants to get her ring back. The girls decide to use the tunnels from episode 3 to sneak into Cloud Tower and attack. At Cloud Tower, the Trix use their necklaces to cast a spell on the ring. It doesn't work. They thought the ring was hiding the Dragon Flame, but they were wrong. They want the power of the Dragon Flame to do, well, evil stuff. The Winx sneak into Cloud Tower. They find the Trix's room and find Stella's ring. They look for a way out, but find the archives instead. Bloom opens a book, and alerts Griffon to their presence. She starts messing with them because of the pointless witch-fairy feud. They transform and use all their powers at once. They run into a bunch of creepy spiders, so they create a force field. Flora creates an ant eater like creature to get rid of the spiders. The remains create a giant goop monster though. The girls fly away, but they still don't know how to get out of Cloud Tower. They run into a dead end with a locked door. They confront the monster and defeat it. Tecna breaks the door down. It's a library. They run into *even more monsters*. (You're going too far Griffon. This is blatant abuse!) Actually, it's just one monster. Stella's spell burns it to a crisp. It also sets the library on fire. The flames block the door. They need to figure a way out fast, or they could die from smoke inhalation. Bloom blames herself for this. (And she's not wrong. She's the one who wanted to stay after they completed their mission. She's the one who opened the book. She's the one who was stupid and naive enough to believe there would be a book with her name on it. She's a really crappy leader so far). At least this time she knows it's her fault and owns up to her mistakes. She hears a voice that guides her to a secret exit. They escape and go back to Alfea. Griselda and Faragonda know what they did though. Griffon told them (Despite the fact that it was her tricks that nearly got them killed). As punishment, Faragonda temporarily strips them of their powers and they're grounded.

## Review

I liked this episode. The girls certainly got what they deserved, no matter what their excuse was. They would've made it off scot free if it hadn't been for Bloom. As for the Trix, their motives aren't clearly defined. Why do they want the Dragon Flame? Who knows! They were just born evil or something.
Winx Club S1 E26

## Plot

The Trix reach Alfea and begin their attack. Things look bleak… And then Bloom and Sky enter the picture! Heck yeah! What an entrance! The rest of the Winx join her in fighting the Trix. Bloom and Icy fight one on one while Flora, Stella, Musa, and Tecna fight Darcy and Stormy. After an intense fight, Darcy and Stormy are captured. The army disappears, and the sun starts to come out. Bloom defeats Icy, and the day is saved. Sky and Bloom have their first kiss. Aw! The Trix are sent to Lightrock, which is basically a reformatory. Griffon and the witches return to Cloud Tower. Knut has reformed and asks to stay at Alfea. He stays on as a janitor. The entire Magix dimension is throwing a huge celebration party. Mirta says goodbye to Lucy. She's transferring to Alfea, and she'll miss Lucy. She's found a new friend in Flora though. Don't worry, we'll still see Lucy. That night, everyone is partying and having a good time. That's a wrap! Cue the end of the season!

## Review

This was a good episode, and a good season. There wasn't really any character development, but that's because the show was just in its first season, and needed time to establish the characters before changing them. Flora was my favorite character this season. See you soon for my favorite season of Winx Club, season 2!
Winx Club S1 E19

## Plot

Stella and Bloom return to Alfea. Despite the shot telling us that it's daytime, the next scene switches to nighttime, when they return to their dorm. Honestly not the weirdest thing I've seen on this show though. Flora, Musa, and Tecna wake up and welcome Bloom back. Bloom talks to Faragonda and Griselda about what happened on Earth. It's revealed that Faragonda knew about Bloom's past… somehow. Okay, I know she knew at least some of it, but *all* of her history? Faragonda keeps secrets from the girls sometimes, but she's not normally as bad as Master Wu. The Trix return to Cloudtower and take over, but not before Miss Griffon gives them a good fight. Griffon calls them crazy and mad. The Trix plan to call forth the Army of Darkness. Red Fountain and Alfea are put on alert just in case. Riven heads to Cloudtower to talk to Darcy. They thank him for his spying, but say that he's outlived his usefulness. He spied for them what, two or three times? I'd hardly say that would make a big difference. Riven calls them snakes. I see the Trix are being name called quite a bit in this episode. They defeat him, plan to use their new army on Red Fountain and Alfea, and take over the whole dimension. The girls minus Bloom transform to fight the creatures. Even background characters get in on the action! And the staff! Awesome! Saladin, the headmaster of Red Fountain, informs Faragonda that Red Fountain is also under attack. All the Specialists attempt to fight back as best they can, but they're vastly outnumbered. A ship arrives with Diaspro and some guards on board. They've been ordered to take Sky back to Eraklyon, where he'll be safe, because he's the prince. Sky refuses and keeps fighting with his fellow friends and teammates. The Trix call the army back, and plan to make their demands to the Magix dimension.

## Review

Although this was a really bleak episode, there were some great action scenes, and it was awesome to see the teachers and background characters fight for the first time! And I feel great! I just got *five* kisses from this adorable little boy I babysit! I'm absolutely glowing!! I'm never showering again!!! On the cheek and hand, I swear!
W.I.T.C.H. S2 E5

## Plot

At the restaurant, Huggles causes some minor havoc. Then Cedric appears out of nowhere and eats him. Then he goes after Matt. Will tries to transform, but the Heart doesn't work. She tries charging at him anyways, but she just hurts her shoulder. It was all a nightmare. She fell asleep during Mr. Collins' class. When she wakes up, her shoulder still hurts, even though it was only a dream. Susan tells her that they're moving back to Fadden Hills at the end of the term. Cornelia and Caleb keep arguing, but Gargoyle and Raythor attack them. It was also just a dream, but she's still soaking wet. All of the girls have been having dreams like this. They decide to make sure Will stays in Heatherfield by getting rid of Susan's transfer request. They hide in the office building until everyone's left for the day. Irma and Cornelia have the same dream about Tracker, and Irma loses her voice. Will and Hay Lin have the same dream about Miranda, and Hay Lin hurts her knees. Taranee has a dream about Frost, who tells her that if she dies in the dream, she won't wake up. She wakes up, and uses her telepathy to wake the others up. The girls know that their dreams aren't normal. Cornelia's dress is ripped, just like in the dream. Taranee goes to the library to do some research while the others take care of the transfer request. Has it not occurred to them that Susan will just fill out another one when she finds out? I know they're only kids in middle school, but still. Taranee has figured out that someone is psychically invading their dreams. She was looking up lucid dreaming. It's the theory that if they know they're asleep, they can control their dreams. She points out that Irma and Cornelia fell asleep in the same room and had the same dream. Same with Will and Hay Lin. They have a slumber party. They defeat the Knights and even turn into their elements. The dream isn't over though. They see Nerissa and give her a blast of psychic energy. The girls talk to Susan about Will moving, and say that they're her family too. Aw!

## Review

I liked this episode. Not sure why Nerissa chose to invade their dreams, but whatever.
Winx Club S4 E5

## Plot

The wizards break into the girls' pet shop and cast a spell on the fairy pets. Tecna notices that one online customer keeps changing their name to adopt more dogs, but Love & Pets rule is only one pet per person. When the girls feed the pets, they transform into monsters. The boys notice the commotion and help them out. The girls turn the pets back to normal by… giving them more treats. I know we're only five episodes in, but I'm *really* hating this season. Maybe it's not really mediocre so much as I skipped all the bad parts, like this stupid episode. Whatever. Mitzi adopted a pet earlier and fed him. The girls try to take him back, but Mitzi refuses. The pet transforms and Brandon saves Mitzi's life while the others turn the pet back to normal. Mitzi falls in love with Brandon and kisses him. Stella sees this and assumes that he was kissing her. Brandon says that she just needed his help, and Stella jumped to conclusions. She runs off crying. Bloom thanks Sky for his help, and is about to talk to him about "that other thing" (presumably Andy), before she decides not to for absolutely no reason. People can be so stupid sometimes. Just talk to each other! This was a really stupid episode. Who writes this garbage? No more stupid boyfriend drama please!
The iDOLM@STER S1 E9

## Plot

Ryuuguu Komachi has just finished starring in a murder mystery show. Iori bought a treat for everyone, but when they get back, their puddings are gone. Ami and Mami decide to play detective and find out who did it. It was Miki, but she only had one, and it was because her snack was gone. Ami and Mami ate it that morning. Azusa ate the rest, despite being on a diet. It's overly dramatic and boring in my opinion, and it's just a boring filler episode. Ami and Mami are focused on, but there's no character development for anyone.
The Lion Guard S1 E14

## Plot

While playing hide and seek with the rest of the Lion Guard to have some fun and test their tracking skills, Beshte meets an okapi named Ajabu. Okapis aren't from the Pridelands, and they hide all the time. Ajabu comes from a place far away with lots of places to hide; called the Backlands. He was chased out by a leopard, because okapis are their favorite food. Beshte invites him to stay in the Pridelands, since there are no leopards there. He assures Ajabu that he has nothing to hide from and gives him a tour. Meanwhile, the others find leopard tracks. Ono sees the leopard going after some gazelles, who don't register him as a threat because he's not a native predator. Kion, Fuli, Bunga, and Ono chase after him, but he's really fast and strong. His name is Makucha, and he's voiced by Steve Blum. Bunga and Ono find Beshte, but they don't believe what he says about Ajabu, who hid again. They tell him about the leopard in the Pridelands. He tells them about Ajabu, but Bunga thinks he's an imaginary friend. The Guard follows the leopard tracks, but it's hard to tell where Makucha went after he went into the tall grass. Suddenly, Beshte says he sees him, but he meant Ajabu, not the leopard. He insists that he's real. Kion is the only one who believes him, because Beshte doesn't make things up, and he said that Ajabu was chased here by a leopard, and they know there's a leopard in the Pridelands. Bunga and Ono apologize to Beshte for not believing him. If Makucha is looking for Ajabu, then they have to get to him first. After they leave though, Ajabu comes out of hiding to graze with some zebras. They wonder what he is, and Makucha overhears them. Ajabu sees him and tells the zebras what a leopard is, and they panic. One of them crashes into Makucha, and Ajabu runs away. The Guard sees them and chases after them. Makucha is interested in eating rare food, which is why he chased Ajabu all the way to the Pridelands. He only leaves when the Guard is prepared to face him five to one. Beshte doesn't want Ajabu to go back home, because Makucha will be waiting for him. Kion asks his parents if Ajabu can stay in the Pridelands, and they agree. So, if you think about it, Ajabu is basically like an immigrant, or more accurately, a refugee. That's honestly really dark.
Angel's Friends S1 E39

## Plot

Raf talks to Sulfus about why he's not inside having a good time. He looks sad. He asks her if that's something she cares about. She says she's just curious. He points out that she didn't want anything to do with him after the last challenge with Andrew. She says they had no relations, and he says that's true. He admits that he dressed as an angel because then they wouldn't have to be so different for once. She admits that she dressed as a devil for the same reasons. He wants to be free to be together, but Raf thinks their feelings for each other were caused by Reina's spider, and they can never be a couple. Malachia is pretending to be a DJ, and leaves after he tells everyone that the refreshments are free. Uri thinks she's seen his face somewhere before, but the others don't think so. The humans fall asleep after drinking and don't wake up. Sulfus tries to open a door, but he's hurt by a purple light, which Raf recognizes as the light of Reina, meaning that this whole thing was another trap. It's on all the doors and windows, meaning the angels and devils can't leave the house. A door appears in front of them. Raf and Sulfus stop everyone from fighting, and they all change back into their normal selves. They go down a seemingly endless hallway, and find a mirror. Sweet checks out how she looks, and Kabale calls her vain. Suddenly, they're swallowed by the mirror. Raf pounds on it to try and get them back, but it breaks, and she cuts herself on the glass. Uri wraps a bandage around it. They have no choice but to keep going. They enter a kitchen, and the door they came through disappears. Miki and Gas sink in whipped cream, and despite everyone else trying to pull them out, they disappear.
W.I.T.C.H. S1 E24

## Plot

Matt gives Will a pet dormouse as a gift. His name is Mr. Huggles. Her mom won't let her keep him though because she has enough distractions from her schoolwork. Miranda is really a creepy, spider-y shapeshifter. Elyon's coronation is two days away. Will gives Huggles to Irma to look after until she can get her mom to change her mind. But then Irma gets really attached to him so Will can't take him back. After a recon mission in the tunnels under the castle, Caleb escapes, but Blunk is captured. Caleb tells the girls and they look for him. They only find Tynar, one of Phobos' guards. He's injured. Turns out Blunk wasn't captured. Scorpion like creatures attack them though. One stings Taranee. She'll be asleep for 24 hours, so they can't free the rebels from the dungeon. Tynar begs them to take him with them to Earth, and they do. He defects to their side and shows them how to get inside the castle. Taranee and Caleb free the prisoners while the other girls provide a distraction. They free all the prisoners and bring them to Earth. However, Jeek, that evil Passling from episode 19, goes through the portal too. Oh, and Matt and Will kiss at the end. This was an okay episode. There wasn't a lot of action, and it had really slow pacing.
The Evermoor Chronicles S1 E1

## Plot

So guess what I found online? Yes, yes, yes!!! Finally! It's been ages, and this show isn't terrible by any means. (Not as good as Code Lyoko, but better than Angel's Friends). Tara has gotten used to things at the manor, and she even uses the tapestry room. In order to train her, Aunt Bridget wants her to steal some golden thread from Cameron's spider, Flynn. When she does though, Esmeralda is able to get her hands on some thread, which allows her to predict the future. It says that the Supreme Everine will lose all her powers. The only way Esmeralda could take those powers would be if she knew who it was, which is why Tara's identity as the Supreme Everine has to remain a secret. Tara decides to trick her into thinking that she's the one by sewing a flying symbol onto the tapestry, but Bella touches it, and Esmeralda thinks that she's the Supreme Everine. Bridget scolds Tara for the deceit, saying that since Bella isn't the one, when she tries to sew on the tapestry it will literally eat her alive. Sorsha and Seb are having problems since she can't date him and broke her promise not to join the Circle. Bella is pulled inside the tapestry. Sorsha realizes that Tara is the Supreme Everine after seeing her hands glow. She promises to keep the secret and tells her the tale of Cotton Lively, who missed out on a chance to join the Circle after falling ill. Legend says that she was also pulled into the tapestry, and that there's a symbol to pull stuff out. Tara has to try it, but if she gets a stitch wrong everything else could be pulled inside the tapestry as well. She succeeds and saves Bella. Bella learns about her magic powers and promises to keep the secret and the charade up to fool Esmeralda. However, the rip in the tapestry also allows other things to get out, like Cotton Lively from the 17th century, who swears revenge on all Everines.

## Review

Yeah, another one that I'll just be doing for fun. I binge watched almost all of it. It was pretty good.
Winx Club S4 E3

## Plot

The Winx arrive on Earth in Gardenia at Mike and Vanessa's house and plan to stay there while they look for the last Earth fairy. As you can imagine, a 2-3 person house cannot suddenly host 8 people and a bunny. Food disappears in an instant (kind of like my house) and there's only one bathroom. How do the girls even find room to *sleep*? Assuming Mike and Vanessa don't kick them out first from frustration. I know I would. They're 19 after all. (In fact, Stella's 20). They're adults, they should be able to take care of themselves. Bloom and Flora overhear Mike's concerns, and decide not to needlessly burden them. But they're gonna need a place to stay. And jobs for money. They get jobs at a toy store, but they end up turning stuffed animals into real fairy pets. They decide to open up a pet shop to give the pets good homes, and the store comes with an upstairs loft for them to stay at. Plus they can work their own hours, so they can still search for the fairy. While planning their opening, a girl notices one of the pets. Her name is Roxy, and she's the fairy they're looking for. Her magic energy blasts the girls off their feet, and they assume it's the wizards, so they transform to follow the energy trail. They unknowingly follow Roxy all over town. And not once do they consider that the magic energy could be from the fairy they're looking for! (Then again, it would be quite a coincidence that she'd be in Gardenia, but still, they should consider every possibility).

## Review

Meh, it was an okay filler episode. It was still filler though. Nothing really contributed to the overall plot.
Winx Club S3 E4

## Plot

They have to fight off guardians of the mirror, like griffons. Stella falls out of the ship, but she hangs onto a ledge and Brandon rescues her. They enter the cave. Stella is separated from the group, and Brandon and the Winx find her. Brandon tells her that the spell they tried to cast on him to try to hide how she looks (in the last episode) never worked. He and the girls all tell her how much they love her and all the positive things about her. Brandon gives her a birthday present. She was supposed to open it at the party, but things got hectic pretty quick. It's a compact. Stella has "found her real self," and the Mirror of Truth breaks the spell. Back at Alfea, vacation is over and Layla is back. Musa meets Galatea, princess of her homeworld, Melody. Stella is angry because Cassandra acts like she's already Queen, and handles everything, while Chimera is trying to take her place as princess. Faragonda has an announcement to make. The Winx and others are in their third and final year at Alfea. At least, as students, and not really their final anything by a long shot. To graduate, they must save someone from their own world, which will earn them their Enchantix powers. Enchantix gives them fairy dust and allows them to miniaturize. Bloom is upset about this, because everyone from her homeworld, Domino, has disappeared. The Winx finally get Layla to tell them about what's happening on Andros. She tells them that Valtor invaded their world, and he seems unstoppable. Bloom decides she's going to do something about it, and the rest of the girls agree to help Layla.

## Review

This was the episode where Bloom officially started being an annoying brat. Being worried about her Enchantix is understandable. Mentioning Domino at every opportunity is not. For the love of Pete, *we know* what happened! You don't need to remind us every episode like we'll forget or something. Even when the focus shouldn't be on Bloom, the show forces it back on her *every. Single. Time* she mentions Domino. It's old, annoying, and the actress's delivery of basically the same line over and over again is boring, monotone, and terrible.
Tangled: The Series S1 E19

## Plot

Rapunzel has another nightmare. This time it's about her dad, the black rocks, and Varian. She wakes up… and finds herself suspended from her tower in mid air by her hair. Eugene sees her and catches her. Like before, she feels like it's trying to tell her something. She decides to ask her dad about the rocks. She asks if anyone has seen Varian or been to Old Corona recently. However, Nigel claims that Varian attacked Rapunzel during the storm, which is the story that everyone seems to believe, and a load of BS. Frederic says that he's known about the rocks for some time, but claims that they've been removed. Which is also a load of BS. Rapunzel believes him and relaxes. Her 19th birthday is coming up, meaning that it's almost been a year since the events of the movie, a year and a half since the black rocks sprouted up, and six months since Rapunzel first touched them. What? I like timeline stuff. When she sees the kite from her vision though, she gets worked up again. There's a note and a key. It's from Varian. He says that he may have figured out the mystery of the rocks. He wants her to go to his lab and find the bronze graphtyc. He also warns her to be careful, saying that *they* will do anything to stop her. When she, Cass, and Eugene get there, they discover that Old Corona has been destroyed by the rocks. However, Rapunzel refuses to believe that her dad lied to her. While there, you may notice someone in the background. I didn't notice that the first few times. So I thought it was just a random scare chord for no reason, or to just build suspense. They find the graphtyc. They also find Quirin, and his note. Rapunzel wonders if all of this is her fault. A man with a gray helmet comes in, demanding the graphtyc. His helmet looks like the one Quirin has. No one can fight him. Rapunzel uses a chemical mixture to keep him in place, and they escape. However, there's a lot more menacing guys where that came from. Max knocks them out with a frying pan. If they're so determined to get the graphtyc, then our heroes probably won't make it back to the castle. They need a place to hide. Rapunzel brings them to the tower. She uses the key to open the graphtyc. It's a scroll, explaining the origin of the sun flower and the rocks. The flower came from a drop of sunlight, and it seems like the black rocks came from a drop of moonlight. The gray helmets followed them. Rapunzel decides to let her hair touch the rocks. This results in a huge explosion that blasts the helmeted men back. However, this also causes the rocks to grow exponentially all over the tower. They're only able to escape because of Rapunzel's hair forming a ball around them. The tower is destroyed, and Rapunzel is devastated. After all, it was her personalized home, full of memories, for 18 years. They approach one of the men who lost his helmet. It turns out to be Cass's dad. Oh. They were ordered to recover the scroll and keep it from Rapunzel… by her father. *Oh*.
Winx Club S1 E8

## Plot

Bloom has a dream. Someone is calling out to her. It's the same person that got her out of Cloud Tower. The woman tells her to remember something, but she wakes up. Today is a school holiday. It's the Day of the Rose. It's the Magix equivalent of Mother's Day. Flora is going home to Lynphea. Tecna is going home to Zenith. Stella, Musa, and Bloom are staying at Alfea. Bloom is staying because she doesn't want to see her parents and feel homesick. Stella tells them that her parents are splitting up. Musa lost her mom when she was little. Aw! That's so sad! Sky invited Stella to the Big Rose Ball that evening. Griffon is furious at the Trix. She's angry that they got caught, not because they snuck in. She wants them to destroy the growing alliance between Alfea and Red Fountain. They go to the Rose Festival, where the Winx and Specialists are. Musa decided not to go to the festival. Riven, Sky, and Brandon plan to participate in a motorbike race. Riven wants to win, badly. He makes a bet with them. If he wins, Bloom goes to the ball with him. Bloom refuses, and makes it clear that she's not interested in a moody, "bad boy" jerk like him. He runs off after Bloom pours water on him with magic. I think she did go a little far, but he could've reacted better. The Trix plan to use this to their advantage. They disguise Knut as Timmy, who went home for the day. Knut leads Bloom to the square. He gives her a special helmet to give to Riven. The Trix plan to have Riven get in an accident, and place the blame on Bloom. Darcy likes him though. Bloom gives Riven the helmet. Stella tells her that Timmy is nowhere near Magix. Bloom sees the Trix and realizes it was a trick. Bloom has to stop Riven. She transforms to try and stop him. Darcy joins the race and eliminates the other racers. Bloom fails to stop the Trix's plan. The helmet shortcircuits, and Darcy saves Riven before Bloom can, earning his trust. He blames Bloom for the accident. He decides to transfer to another squad of specialists after Brandon defends her.

## Review

The Trix totally won in this episode. Bloom can't even prove it was them. Their plan worked flawlessly.

## Plot

Yes, this is really happening. As if the Halloween episode years before was bad enough, someone had the bright idea to make a Christmas episode. Yes, just like episode 5, this is a filler episode that has absolutely no impact on the current plot. Unlike *The Lilo* though, I plan to summarize this to get it over with as quickly as possible. Come to think of it, why *did* I ever give that episode a full review and not a brief recap like I've done with other pure filler episodes? I'll see if I can change that if it ever gets a video review. This episode asks us to believe that the other girls don't know what Christmas is, despite living with Bloom for years and spending all that time on Earth in season 4. Bloom will be going home to see her parents. They've invited all of the neighborhood kids over this year to help them decorate, or trim, the tree. The Trix spy on Bloom and overhear her talking about Christmas magic. They confuse it for real magic and decide to stop her from getting it. Also, if they can turn invisible, and it's foolproof, then why don't they do that all the time? They create some ice dragons that the Winx have to fight. They don't defeat them, and encase Alfea in an ice shield. Now Bloom has to celebrate Christmas at Alfea. You know how these stories go. Yes, everyone else tries to cheer her up by celebrating Christmas at Alfea. Yes, they screw it up because they don't understand the holiday and get ridiculously nonspecific instructions. Yes, Bloom loves it anyways because it's the thought that counts, blah, blah, blah. Yes, her family, the kids, and all of their stuff is brought to Alfea so they can all celebrate together.
Winx Club S3 E19

## Plot

The wedding of King Radius and Countess Cassandra is going to happen soon. Radius is still under Cassandra's control and it's still raining on Solaria. Security is tight for the wedding so Stella and her friends won't try anything. Naturally, given that this is the Winx we're talking about here, they plan to sneak in to stop the wedding and finally break the spell on King Radius. The Specialists agree to help them. Specifically, the guys are going to train the girls to ride hover bikes as their cover. Musa is upset because Riven didn't believe her when she said the bike was broken. Riven takes one of Helia's poems and starts reading it out loud. Helia tells him that if he keeps acting like a jerk, he's going to lose Musa, which noticeably shakes him up. It's the day of the royal wedding. Musa is still mad at Riven. She checked the hover bike herself, and it did have a problem. The girls crash the wedding and transform. Stella goes after her father while the others hold off the guards. She defeats Chimera and Cassandra. Rather easily in fact. She breaks Chimera's staff and doesn't even have to fight Cassandra. She uses her fairy dust to break the spell on her father. Cassandra and Chimera are thrown in the dungeon and Solaria is back to normal.

## Review

Just another day in the life of the Winx Club. Nothing bad about this episode, but nothing great either.
The Evermoor Chronicles S1 E13

## Plot

Tara picks Otto up and takes him away. Someone arrives on Earth looking for Otto. This is Valentina, played by the wonderful Olivia Holt. Tara shows the others Otto and tells them what happened. They look for a way to turn him back to normal. He needs true love's kiss. Valentina shows up, saying that she's the demigoddess of love. They think that she'll turn Otto back to normal, but she actually came to get revenge and smash him. He left her alone for a thousand years. He broke up with her, left without a word. When she found out he was on Earth, she tried to follow, but he cast an exclusion spell on her, so they couldn't be in the same world together. Valentina threatens to cast a spell of solitude on Cam and Tara, which would make them spend the rest of their lives alone and unloved. Bella and Sorsha find Otto's journals hidden in his cage. They tell what really happened to Otto and why he was banished. The other Everines were turned to stone. Doyle somehow recognizes that lantern and uses a blanket to take it away. Valentina believes that Otto doesn't care about her, so a kiss wouldn't work at the moment. Bella reads the journals. They reveal that Otto was banished by his father for taking his chariot without permission to impress Valentina. He's the one who cast the exclusion spell on them. If Valentina kissed him though, she'd be forced to leave Earth. She really loves him though, so she has to do it. Otto returns to normal and Valentina disappears. Otto is happy that he at least got to see her again. He tells the others where the tapestry is. They find out that the other Everines have been turned to stone, and realize that the Founders were there. They find the tapestry, but wonder who else was hiding there. It was the Founders, and they could return at any time. They see the purple cloak prediction, but there are no Circle members left. However, Bella took one of their cloaks. Now they think that she might be possessed by the third Founder.
W.I.T.C.H. S2 E22

## Plot

Nerissa heads to a new world called Aridia to claim its Heart. It's a rock planet, and the girls can't do anything to stop her since they don't know about it. Will is competing in a swimming competition, but loses to her rival Mandy Anderson. She still gets second place though. She's upset that she lost. In order to win the overall championship she needs to win the next two races. She's also mad at Matt for talking to Mandy. The two are old childhood friends. No! I just came back from Winx Club season 4! I cannot handle any more stupid jealousy plots! Will figures out that only an heir to the Meridian throne can take the seal from Nerissa without her permission. And since Elyon is imprisoned inside the seal, the only available heir is Prince Phobos, so they have to release him from prison. They make him promise to not use the seal for himself. Nerissa is alerted when one of the seal's spells is broken and sends the other Guardians to eliminate Phobos while she claims the Heart of Aridia. Will uses her powers to cheat and beat Mandy in the second heat. Phobos notices and approves of what she did. She regrets it though, especially when he praises her, and when Mandy, who is incredibly nice, tells her that she won fair and square. While walking home, the old Guardians attack Phobos, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia, Hay Lin, and Matt in a park. Will isn't there to transform them, and the old Guardians still have double their power. Phobos is able to defeat them, but he forcibly stole life force from Taranee and Cornelia to do it. Despite seeing what appears to be Matt kissing Mandy on the hand, Will decides not to cheat for the last heat and Mandy wins. Oh, and remember what I said about Tony, Will's dad, never showing up again? I stand corrected. You can see him in the stands for a split second. Still, he never shows up in any real capacity again. No lines, no mentions. Not even a minor side character like Alchemy, Eric, Nigel, Martin, etc. The old Guardians attack them again at the pool after everyone else has left. Because Nerissa isn't there though, the mind control has weakened, and they're able to snap out of it. Luckily, this interrupts Nerissa from getting Aridia's Heart. She imprisons the old Guardians in the seal and gains all five Guardian powers. There are three versions of Phobos. Matt runs towards her. She recognizes him and teletransports away, actually *scared* for once. The three Phoboses were really a glamoured Matt, Caleb, and Blunk, and the real Phobos was disguised as Matt, meaning he was the one who kissed Mandy, possibly to mess with Will for evil funsies and to encourage her to cheat again. They've been like that since after the attack at the park. He didn't tell the girls because they didn't need to know, and their ignorance helped fool Nerissa, even if they still lost to her. He yells at them, saying that they don't have what it takes to achieve victory at any cost. Will, having learned her lesson, says that a victory at any cost is no victory at all, especially if you lose yourself in the process. I liked this episode. Phobos is a real snooty guy. I love the barbs the girls throw his way.
W.I.T.C.H. S1 E22

## Plot

During a failed raid, Caleb is forced to leave Aldarn and some other rebels behind to escape. Elyon accidentally hypnotizes them, and wants them to sign a peace treaty. Aldarn, being hypnotized, wants to sign the treaty, but Caleb knows that it's a trick. Plus Aldarn doesn't have the authority to do that, so he challenges Caleb for leadership of the rebellion while the girls check out where the supposed signing place was. Turns out there's two: One for the rebels that's a trap, and one for Elyon so she'll think the rebels went back on their word. The girls discover that painted Larvec eggs have been placed everywhere as a trap. Elyon decides to forgive her friends for what she thinks they've done. Caleb wins the challenge, saves Aldarn from falling to his death, and is able to get him to snap out of it. The girls tell everyone that the signing ceremony was a trap. This was an okay episode, and, more importantly, it was the last filler episode of the season. Yay!
The Lion Guard S2 E6

## Plot

The theme song has changed slightly to include Ushari, Janja and his clan, and a group of crocodiles at the volcano with Scar. The Guard is trying to calm down a herd of antelope after they were scared by a rockslide, but it's not going well. Ono says they can lead them to a dead end canyon up ahead. However, doing so wakes up the crocodiles. Ono tells them that it was his idea to lead the antelope there, so it's his fault. Crocodiles usually hibernate through the dry season, but once they're awake, they can't just go back to sleep. Now they need food and water during the dry season just like everyone else. Kiburi suggests dealing with Ono the crocodile way by eating him, since he's the reason they're awake. Makuu tells him to control himself, and leaves to talk to Simba about getting water. Shupavu sees them and tells Ushari and Scar, including that Kiburi took control of the float after Makuu left. Ono sees that the crocs have moved into watering holes all over the Pridelands, and tells Makuu and the Guard. They escort the crocodiles to their own watering hole, and Makuu reprimands Kiburi for going against a direct order. The watering hole is crowded, but they have enough food and water to get them through the dry season. Kiburi thinks they deserve better, and calls for a mashindano. Scar decides it's the perfect time to get rid of Simba. Ushari tricks Kiburi into thinking that he can rule the Pridelands. His crocs will eliminate Simba for them while the mashindano is going on. Ono doesn't want to watch the mashindano though, and sees three crocs leaving. He figures out what they're trying to do, tells Kion, and the Guard stops them. They tell Simba what they were trying to do. Makuu wins the mashindano, but Kiburi says it doesn't matter, because his crocodiles got rid of Simba while everyone else was distracted by their fight. And then Simba shows up. He's willing to defer Kiburi's punishment to Makuu, who banishes him and his followers from his float, so his punishment is up to Simba again, who banishes them from the Pridelands. Ushari leads them to the volcano and shows them Scar. They agree to join him. He decides to unite all the animals in the Outlands to take over the Pridelands again. Ono apologizes to Makuu for waking up the crocs during the dry season, and he's forgiven instead of eaten. Kion told Makuu that Ono's keen sight foiled Kiburi's plan, and Simba tells him that they all make mistakes, but he also proved himself invaluable today, and thanks him.
W.I.T.C.H. S2 E7

## Plot

While trading junk on Meridian, Blunk finds a Horn of Hypnos. He plans to take it to the girls so they can destroy it, but Jeek follows him to Earth. Irma has to clean up the garage as a punishment. The alternative was being grounded. Blunk was storing some stuff in there. The Knights attack a village, looking for the horn. Jeek steals it, and Matt and the rest of the girls see him and go after him. Matt tells Irma while the others look for Jeek on Meridian. They find him, but he says that he traded the horn away. He gave it to the Knights. Somehow the other girls were hypnotized. They hypnotize Matt and Jeek. They look for Irma and Blunk. Irma yells at Blunk, saying that the whole thing is his fault, and hurts his feelings. They work together to come up with a plan though. They pretend to be hypnotized and out smart the others to save the day. This was a filler episode. And it was so dull. A focus episode on Irma and Blunk? Really?
W.I.T.C.H. S2 E9

## Plot

The girls are on Kandrakar, asking the council about the woman who keeps attacking them. My only question is why they didn't think of this sooner? They'll be spending a week of summer vacation together with Irma's family. The council also explains that their new powers are normal too. At first, the girls have a good time on vacay, but then they can't sleep at night because Hay Lin snores, or use the bathroom because Cornelia spends so much time primping. Hay Lin insults Cornelia when she wishes Caleb was there with her. Hmm, that seems out of character for someone as nice, perky, happy, and hopelessly romantic as Hay Lin. Taranee insults Irma by saying she's like her brother Chris, who she calls a brat. Will hurts Hay Lin's feelings when she says that she's unlikely to get a boyfriend. It's actually been Nerissa glamoured as them the whole time. Sandpit is there too. If there's disharmony among the Guardians, they won't work together as well since they're a team, and the Heart won't be as powerful. The girls think Will is to blame for bringing animatronics to life as a prank, but it was actually Nerissa. It scares Chris, but luckily he thinks it was part of the haunted house they were in. While listening in on the rest of the Knights on Meridian, Caleb discovers their plan to disband the Guardians and take the Heart. Yeah, he's been tracking them all episode. No big deal. He and Blunk escape to the Silver Dragon basement and rush to the beach to warn the girls. The girls rush outside when they hear Chris's fire truck talking. Irma yells at Cornelia when she smashes it with a rock. The girls start fighting with each other until the Oracle comes to reclaim the Heart. But then Hay Lin notices "his" shadow is really Nerissa's. Let me explain. Except under specific circumstances that we'll get into later, a Heart can't be taken by force. It has to be given to someone "willingly". Nerissa is simply using trickery and exact words to get what she wants. With a Heart, she'd have a lot more power, and wouldn't have to drain her life force to use Quintessence, which is why she looks so old. The girls transform and fight Nerissa and Sandpit, and are surprised when Nerissa uses the same powers as Will. Caleb and Blunk show up to help. They beat them, they get away, you know the drill by now.

## Review

I liked this episode. Although after the last one, this one isn't as good by comparison.
