I think it is fine to use this one.

So I actually loved this episode. It reminded me of the ones I loved from season 1 and 2 that have a lot of little plots in them and are not all about the action and the "big picture".

I would have liked to see more of Zenith, but since it is based on oceans I can't complain much since I didn't expect to see a lot in the first place. I also liked the tiny bit about Timmy and Tecna and giving them some air time, although I thought that they already had a decent relationship so I'm a bit confused.

I was also confused as to why Flora, Musa, and Stella were in WizGiz's class, didn't they graduate? I get that they could be sitting in, but to me it seemed like they were learning and there specifically to learn from him. Oh well. I did like the story plot with stella being turned into a 3 year old, I thought it was actually really sweet. And I liked that Brandon was in a lot of the episode (he's my favorite!) and that even he was fed up with Stella at the beginning. Plus I really love his casual outfit (is it possible to have a slight crush on a cartoon character? Because if so, I might just have a tiny one on him).

I also really like Roy and the fact that they are introducing a different relationship. I do miss Nabu, but I also like that they made something realistic happen for once. Not all school relationships work out, and with how much danger they all put themselves in, someone was bound to get hurt. But I like that they keep including Roy in the episodes and hope that he and Aisha do eventually become at least friends.

This episode had the energy of the past seasons (1 and 2) it actually made me smile a few times. The only thing that confused me was the whole WizGiz thing. Like Abby said, they were supposed to have graduated. Oh and one more thing, Roxy didn't even speak this episode! I know that Roxy isn't a Winx but come one most of season 4 was about her and no one even acknowleged her presense.
Anyway this was a nice episode, I would have loved to see more of Zenith. Hopefully the next episodes are like this one.

I agree with the posts above. I loved the beginning of this episode, the Stella fashion scene was hilarious and I loved the part where they showed Brandon flying through the clouds on a dragon. And also the fact that he didn't just take his girl's misbevaviour like the specialists usually do, and actually stood up for himself. The episode was really good overall, although the conflicts between the Winx seem a bit forced. It was nice to see Roy on the mission, but the specialists in general have a serious lack of screen time this season. And it would have been nice to see some of the streets and citizens of Zenith, but it was ok, the castle looked really cool. The selkie involvement was of course totally predictable, but a minor setback for a great episode.

This episode starts up an old pattern, New boy introduced per Season once again showing how useless the original 3 are

Season 2: Helia: He was very elegant and a little tricky in battle

Season 3: Nabu: Powerful Wizard

Season 5: Roy: Has some sort of power, a decent fighter and when knocked down doesn't take 2 years to get back up.

The originals are piss poor fighters except for Brandon and sometimes Riven.

It's revealed in the next episode that Sky has great reflexes.......since when?

There was no point in Stella turning into a 3 year old, no one grew from it. I guess it was just for comic relief.

Bloom felt the need to bring us all the way back to Season 1 with her Daphne dreams.....This scene reminded me of Futurama

I can relate with Tecna on the whole texting thing

Ok we all know that Roy is growing on Aisha.....But did you guys catch the way Bloom was looking at him when he was glowing.....SHE WAS DARN NEAR SALIVATING.

Tecna"They're already so far ahead of us.".........Bloom now's the time to put that "Fire Blade" to good use.

Well lets start with Zenith. Other than the circuit board style furniture. It could have been anywhere. I was hoping for it to look more technological and see more tech. I don't understand the point of Daphne telling Bloom in the dream and then her doing zero. However my main problem is that the fact that Stella seems to be getting more self centered by the episode. In season 4 she was helping others and season 3 apart from when she was obsessing about her father which was sort of understandable. I also don't understandwhy the winx was at the class or even the small number of students.

[Abby]

I also wanted to see more of Zenith in the episode, and that it was very similar to season one with the whole dreaming thing. I thought that was kind of neat.

I really liked the whole stella thing, I thought it was a great change with comedy and reminded me of earlier episodes when not everything was just about the main plot every episode.

[GeekChic]

I also thought Stella was being self centered and like Flora and Musa said a 3 year old. Hopefully the negative aspects of all the characters are balanced out with the positive. If not the whole show will be filled with flat uninteresting characters.

I loved the Daphne dream...I've missed it a bit. My theory to why Bloom did nothing, is that she possibly thought it was nothing more than a nightmare? Her sister's always been this powerful nymph who helped HER, and now it's up to Bloom to save Daphne....nope gotta be just a nightmare. I am sooo confused with that wizgiz scene....I thought maybe it wasn't a class and just him moidering about things he knew (as teachers do when you catch them in their free time) but then there's Bloom's 'oh no I'm late!' and wizgiz's 'lets take a break' so....confused muchly.
I have nothing more to say other than....just wow. I love this season..so, so much. Can't get enough of it!

[humbu111]

I still don't understand what the big problem with Daphne is lol. Like she's been captured right? But they don't seem to be harming her like hurting her or anything. It doesn't seem like she's really missing out on anything since all she does all day, as far as we know, is chill underwater in her cave. And isn't she like a spirit anyways? And don't spirits only like exist when called upon (unless they're evil spirits or something)? LOL. I don't know, I know I'm being stupid but the whole thing sounds kinda funny to me =P.

[Di Zio]

i think it was okay
but i found the fight between tecna and aisha a little silly and outta place

[Zhanneel]

I'm guessing they skipped this episode to follow-up on Daphne for the continuation of the gem quest. Just not enough time to give to the Daphne subplot? And while I'm on that topic, I wish the writers had come up with something more clever and challenging for finding these gems. The gem quest if very repetitive and feels... empty. Thinking back to each gem test, I have no doubt the Trix could have figured out each riddle, since of course the riddles are written for elementary students. This particular episode may have been the most fulfilling of the quests though, and there was interaction between Tecna and Layla (aka Aisha). I was hoping there would be a follow-up though, like Tecna and Layla talk things out and apologize? You know, that whole thing where people grow and learn? I find that's been missing from the Winx episodes for a long time now.

As for visiting Zenith I have to say the castle was very cool. I like the architecture and that long technological bridge (which I don't understand because who walks on a bridge in the ocean? ha). The art direction was singing more in this episode. I only wish we could have explored the castle longer. Remember the days of the first season where we explored the castle on Sparx/Domino for a couple of episodes? I wish we could do that again. And of course this being an ocean episode we weren't going to see the land dwellers. Bummer.

Okay, is that the last Pix--er, I mean Selkie bonding now? Unless Roxy has to still bond. v_v I'm just trying to look the other way at this point when the bonding scenes come around. I know they are intended for the younger audience, so I will try to restrain my criticism of them. (Again, I say "try", heh.)

The Stella side plot was indeed funny and I enjoyed the interaction at first with Brandon and her friends. It was great to see the people in her life take a stand against her character flaws. Yay, interaction! And when she turned into a child, that was a funny twist. The part I'm disappointed with was uh, what was the point? Usually these things happen for a reason and the moral of the story is *insert here*. Stella did not grow, learn, or change. Her friends laughed the whole thing off as well. Huh?? Definitely needed more of a conclusion with that. Maybe Stella could have woke up from that and remembered what it felt like to be a bratty child and had a change of heart. Instead Brandon says something entirely not helpful to Stella, "We got to spend the afternoon with a charming little girl". So now the moral of the story is "be a three-year old whenever you like because it's charming". Huuuh? Where is an editor when you need one. =/

[Abby]

Yeah it is too bad they didn't make that more into a lesson of some sort. Bloom still has to bond with her s I believe, but she is the last one I think.
