Interesting thought Marty on how well this season will age as compared to others. I suppose once you attach yourself to a specific tech, it ages more than outright fantasy.
The girls are real... self-absorbed, short and ill-tempered, and completely unappealing in their interactions with the guys this episode. Yuck. When Layla does her little air-quotes and says, "You've done enough today with your little surprise..." Well, the kinds of thoughts she brought to the surface are... while fitting, perhaps politically incorrect... Needless to say, they were quite negative.
Putting aside that poor launch, flying through space was fun. And I like that they use the butterflix for more than one episode. The music was a little lackluster until the specialists showed up. It was nice to see them kick butt. This was a situation made for them. I miss their classic weapons, like Brandon's magic blocking sword, but I am glad to see them remember some themes. Like Helia using a whip, which was close to his original string style.
The queen of stars is a good mechanism to give the girls a new type of power. I like the idea of specialized powers more than higher levels. Otherwise we go all dragon ball z with planet crushing intensity. Rather, the girls get space powers for space missions like they got water powers for water missions, etc.
Musa has a lot of growing to do. It looks like Riven finally did his already. Like Marty says, it looks like they are going to drag it out. It was not the finest episode for the girls likeability or maturity.
The cosmix outfits are more different than some previous incarnations IMO. I think that is good. The theme is catchy too.
Finally the Valtor symbol was a great way to introduce the concept of his return. What a fine tease!
