My thoughts:

I kinda like Diaspros new voice, she sounds much more conniving.

I'm starting to see the girls separate personalities this season.

This new Stella who is somewhat "bad" at picking outfits will surely lead to some character development, but at the same time it's weird because she was on point in Seasons 1-4 (Although I wasn't feeling her socks in Magical Adventure)

Sky, um....really. He had me thinking that Thorin was the type of guy who secretly would hang with the wrong crowd and do bad things. Instead he tells Bloom about how when they were kids they went to the forest and were ambushed by monsters and how Thorin ran scared leaving him to fend for himself. I understand Sky was trying to imply that he would selfishly leave others hanging just to save himself, but.......THEY WERE KIDS.

I really like how Daphne is a part of the team, I don't think a Seventh Winx would hurt, but it would have to either be Daphne or Roxy.

The Trix will never be as bad and menacing to me as they were in Seasons 1 and 2. The Winx (well..... Really Bloom, Aisha and Stella) have become too powerful for them ever since they earned Enchantix. I hope that Season 7 will pull what Season 4 did and bring in a new villain or set of Villains without the Trix.

The way Bloom earned her Bloomix is 1000x better than the way she earned her Enchantix.

Does everyone need to have a boyfriend? Even Roxy has one in the Comics.

This Season so far is excellent. But starting next episode the girls are taking a trip around earth, I hope this won't end up being a disappointment like the "Sirenix Quest" was, because that's where Season 5 went downhill.

[mightymarty2]

I enjoyed the episode but really could do without Diaspro ever being seen again. Hopefully she has had her part now as the Trix didn't seem to want her anyway and now she has failed the test badly. As Bloom gained Bloomix and was not distroyed. I must agree with Kendall I thought it was much more serious than getting scared and running away. When they were very young.

As for the future I am more hopeful for the next part as so far we have had no mentions of tests and I would kind of like to see that magic is hinding on earth and has been for a while.

[P-girl]

So Thorin ran away as a kid in a frightening situation and Sky's STILL angry about that? Yeah, not making Thorin look like the jerk here, writers.

Pleasebeacowardfindinghiscouragestorylinepleasebeacowardfindinghiscouragestoryli
ne!

Or at least y'know, have it NOT be EPIC FORESHADOWING for Thorin's doing the same thing later on. That would suck.

If they were really good, they could psych us out and show a situation where running away is a GOOD STRATEGY and have Thorin explain that to Sky, or at least having Sky realise that running away when you're scared is, y'know, understandable, and Sky would then [s]grovel apologise to Thorin. Also a good option in the 'Coward finding his courage' storyline.

But who am I kidding? Everyone's calling Bloom a Sue, but Sky's been getting away with some pretty awful behavior without being called out for it. *Shoots the whole Sky/Diaspro/Bloom love triangle the evil eye*

Edit:
I've read a few things and my rant makes it apparent that I didn't actually see the episode. So.... Yeah... Gonna dash this out until I've actually seen it.

All in all, I thought the episode was good, but looking around the web and seeing other comments tell me that some people watch this show way too seriously.

I will say that Sky has quickly become my least favorite character of the whole series.

The only problem I have is that instead of giving the girls new problems to flesh their character out more in S5, they decided to try and reset the girls to their Season 2 selves. A lot of people are seeing Bloom as a horrible character, but I'm really having a hard time seeing what is so bad about her. She has her flaws yes, but she is also very strong and courageous, she may not think things all the way through, but she will stop at nothing to destroy evil and help her friends. I understand that Season 5 kind off put her character in a bad light with the whole Sky plot, But in the end she realized that she herself was not innocent in what was going on.

If you paid attention to the last two episodes you would have noticed that Blooms performance in Battle wasn't exactly stellar. She has been weakening from the beginning.

[SpiderBraids]

I know you crossed this out P-girl, but:

If they were really good, they could psych us out and show a situation where running away is a GOOD STRATEGY (...)

Reminds me of Tressa in 3x06, and how the Timmy/Tecna relationship issue in S2 got started...

[P-girl]

A bit. I'm just really tired of this 'bravery = never running from a fight' that's so prevelant in fiction. It sometimes doesn't work like that.

[winxclubrox23]

I honestly didn't think there was anything special about this episode. I was waiting for something interesting to happen, besides Bloom getting her Bloomix, but nothing ever did. They used up too much time with the dancing montages, and I think that they could have used that time better.

[Kendall112]

The dancing didn't bother me for the sole fact that the flash animation is better. Season 5 made everyone look like puppets. I don't remember the first few episodes of Season 4 having such puppet animation.

[willkz]

For me best seasons are 4 and 5 but i'll wait.From the episodes i saw in this season only 4 and 5 have stupid things in them and in 6 too.
The cool things in this episode for me are Bloom,Diaspro and Kiko.
Some of the others are fails.The only thing off about bloom in this episode is "Attack with all the power of the dragon flame" bad line it would be cool "attack at full power or use all of your mightyness or power,dah he is the great dragon.
Of the winx it seemed that only flora cared about bloom.Sky vs Thoren child thing stupid.Dancing flying they already used it on flora and helia in 25 episode of season 5.Chatta desguising thing didn't get it why she did it. thoren daphne relationship cool.Stella is supposed to be Bloom's bff and she is too busy with her fashion and friendship with Aisha.Ultimate best- Bloom's fire heart hurting,and "You've got this ,you can do this.New Diaspro voice is cool.Why Thoren act so foolish at the main scene? I liked it when he said "You are one wicked girl".
I hope the feauture episodes to be much cooler and Mythix also.I feel that Mythix will be a blast like Believix and Sirenix.Bloomix is kind of uncool .I am sorry to say that because Bloom is my favorite fairy.She earned her bloomix in an awsome way despite the other winx.
For winx bloomixes i can rate them 1Tecna,2Bloom,3Stella,4Aisha,5Flora and 6Musa(not so cool as usual of her transforms).

I loved the episode and Bloom's Bloomix. =) I just hate it when Diaspro always kept showing up. -_-" I was pretty surprised Thoren almost fell for Diaspro's help to save Bloom (till Daphne stops him)...I was wondering did he even know what really happened between Sky and Diaspro cause Thoren is Sky's cousin? o.o

It's so sweet that Thoren is with Daphne. ^_^ (I seen fans don't like the idea of being together cause Daphne is much older...I saw the spoiler list that Thoren is the same age as Daphne which means Daphne's age was stuck on time until Bloom saved her to break the Sirenix Curse. So technically, the Winx and the Specialists had been caught up with the same age as Daphne before she was cursed. That is really sweet.)

Sky and Thoren were cute when they were kids! The whole idea that Sky has a problem with his cousin also doesn't make any sense. =/ For me, he should have run with Thoren for safety. Or Sky was mad at his cousin cause he is a prince and needs to be protected at all times... --_--" Cause I'm sure those guys were after the Prince mainly.
I just wished we can see Brandon, Helia, Riven, and Timmy as kids too! (More likely we won't see any...) I was also surprised why they didn't show up at the ball? o.o They were supposed to be invited, not just Sky and Thoren?

Nick replaced Diaspro's voice. She is voiced by Cassandra Morris who also voiced for Chimera. I think she is really better! I didn't realized until I thought I heard Chimera's voice. xD I just wished Ariana Grande was voiced as a sweet fairy. She is much better suit for a sweet fairy. (I heard Ariana Grande has been too busy with Sam & Cat and as well as music tours)

[mightymarty2]

I think the others were not invited as they are not royalty or related to royalty. The Winx being an exception as they helped save Daphne from her curse

[Kendall112]

I'm really not liking how Seasons 5 and 6 are ignoring the Earth Fairies. At the rate Season 6 is going with the Trix invading the schools of Magix, maybe we will see Beta Academy and Chimera will return.

1. 2x06 showed Brandon as a kid in a flashback (though that was cut out of the 4K dub )
2. Reminds me of 3x02 when everyone (even Mirta) got invited to Stella's ball (and RSVP'd even), but only Sky and Brandon showed up.
