So far I'm very pleasantly surprised. This looks like it's going to leagues ahead of Season 5.
So some thoughts:
The headmistresses/headmasters of the schools must be much older than we've thought in the past, since Faragonda is at LEAST 119 year old, if she started teaching maybe right after she graduated. And then Griffin mentioned she hadn't seen anything like the Legendarium in over 2 centuries. Horrid continuity in regards to the ages they were when they fought in the Company of Light, but Winx has never been one for continuity.
The whole pixies thing has been discussed. I doubt we're going to get any explanation, because again with the poor continuity.
In the second episode, I hate how they just slipped in Roy like he's been a member of their squad forever. Like. Really. Does he even have to be included? In season 1, Riven mentioned requesting a transfer to another squad of specialists, so it's not like they are short of them. But of course he has to flit about so a relationship can be forced on him and Layla/Aisha.
You would think after being best friends for at least 6 years now, probably more, Sky would have mentioned his cousin to Brandon. And even so, how the heck did the girls know who he was? I imagine he tells Brandon way more than he tells them.
I really love how Flora's sister is going to another college instead of Alfea. It makes for some really nice realism, and feels like she had a choice.
And finally. Bloom. Bloom, Bloom, Bloom. Don't you know better by now not to question when stuff doesn't happen to you, or you're different than everyone else? I mean sheesh, it's been happening that way for 6 years, just roll with the punches.

I mean, before this, we never got their exact age. Not to mention, we don't know how old they were when they were in the company of light, just that they looked younger. For all we know, they might've pulled an 'Elven age' on us and looked much younger then they actually are.

Well I liked the 2 episodes Episode 2 was a little strange with the pixies looking older yet chatta seemed to have barely changed. Along with the mentioned change by other members. It actually felt like an older style winx season. I am also please how the stories were not straight into more classic and well know stories. Yes Trolls and Troll like creatures are common and have appeared in many winx seasons. I think this is the 4th but it was a new way of looking at it. Episode 3 with Roxy getting her bit part I just hoped that she would get the info from Ms Griffin and then try and inform the winx rather than the sort of knowing but waiting for the winx. It also appears that Miele is a lot older than I thought as she seems to be an awful lot older. As I am assuming its the same age bracket as Alfea about 15/16 start. The Bloom being different is over done. I do hope the Winx don't become reliant on Bloom's powers and we get to see the Specialists have at least 3 episodes of being more useful than the winx. Most probably helped by these more powerful weapons. I hope we get to see some Red Fountain. As for the general story I am liking the pace so far. It feels like things are moving along nicely, I am hoping for more build up and training of Selena. Although I don't believe the Trix will train her too much and will most probably try and get the legendarium off her. As for Roy I feel he is being forced into the specialists as I am hoping Aisha remains single but I cannot see it. At least they are not forcing it too much so far. Another plus was the bit of humour with Stella shouting to Brandon when they arive at the arena Once last thing Selena was scared stiff off the Winx yet compared to the rest of witches entirely unbothered by the appearance of the Trix.

The way that Bloom delivery the flame is somewhat abrupt.
And... why are the winx on Alfea again? they would be teachers like the last time ( 4 season )? Special studies? The guionists could be more lavish. A couple of phrases could be enough to imagine a lot of thinks about the "story behind the story". A good story should have more background imagined that writed to be consistent with the details and allow to say a lot with little.
I hope that we know about Mirta. As the witches (not only the Trix) could be involved deeply in this session, we could bind out that Mirta is the first in centuries to be a complete "witch & fairy", capable of dominate dark and light power at the same time.
