So basically my question is DID I MISS SOMETHING? Lots of stuff changes between seasons 3 and 4 with almost no explanation. At the end of season 3, Bloom seems like she is about to go look for her parents, but they are not mentioned at all in the beginning of season 4. Does she even care about discovering her past anymore? Also in season 3, Bloom is unable to miniaturize because she hasn't rescued anyone from her own planet, but she is somehow able to miniaturize in season 4? The trix also don't seem to show up in season 4 and what happened to them hasn't been explained... Another problem I was having is that I always assumed that Alfea was a 4 year high school, but when season 4 (which would've been their 4th year) started, they seem to already have finished high school/college and taken jobs teaching. So did I miss some episodes somewhere, did new people take over in the development, or what happened?
You should know that I am only halfway through watching season 4, so NO SPOILERS please. I really hope that some of the plot points from seasons 3 and 4 are explained by the end of the season or at least by seasons 5 and 6...
