Today's episode wasn't my favorite-- but it wasn't bad. Here's my review!
First off, we have Bloom trying to jog Sky's memory. It seemed to be going pretty good-- well, Sky still wasn't remembering anything, but Bloom seemed to be in a fairly good mood, which is something really rare in plots like this. :P Of course until Sky decided that it was useless since nothing was helping.
Then, I can't remember if it came before or after, but we got Princess Crystal trying to heal Sky. I like her. I like that she's not just the usual jerky brat like all the other love rivals are in this show. Not to say I don't adore out jerky brats-- but it's a nice change, isn't it?
But then of course Sky still won't remember, because there's a "barrier blocking Crystal's healing"... it was the pendant what. Get over your pendant Sky. You lost it, it's gone. That's it. No more. Groan. It could've have meant that much.
I did crack up over his little phone conversation with King Erindor, though. That was hilarious.
We also get to see Nereus and Queen Ligeia trying to find Tritannus, and Lenny(?) following them. They find him, he turns Nereus into one of his demon sea-mutants and then he demands information on Sirenix from Ligeia. She tells him Dafne/Daphne was the last Sirenix fairy, then he zaps her into a demon sea-mutant too.
Gosh Tritannus. Evil or not they're your family why are you turning them into ugly zombie mermen. And how did you turn Ligea from a female mermaid to a male mer-zombie? Gosh darnnit, Tritannus. I don't like your mer-zombies. Get rid of them. You should know this is only going to cause Neptune getting all angry at you and coming after you. ((Not to mention I was in love with Ligea's design.. why'd she have to get mutated too darn it.))
Then it shows the Winx searching for The Sirenix Book-- Timmy and Tecna have worked out a new invention that should help them find it. But the Trix come and mess with her phone... causing her to find this creepy book.
As soon as she opens it... BOOM Tecna's a robot!! Poor Tecna. She finally gets her own little story/plot and it spans over what felt like six or seven minutes. I wish it had been the main focus of the episode instead of the mixture we got, she had quite a cool design. See the bottom of the article.
The robot wasn't even exactly evil-- it didn't try to really hurt the girls. It just started trashing the library looking for the Sirenix book. That lasted a couple minutes, but then the girls figured out it was her phone that was cursed and so they pulled it out of her robot self, causing her to turn back to normal. That was about it, for this episode. Oh, except!!
At the end it showed Tritannus talking to Icy about how he wanted her to go after Dafne/Daphne to find out more about Sirenix. That should be fun.
The next episode preview sounded pretty sweet though, with the whole competition thing going on. Minus the rainbow unicorn of course. That thing doesn't need to be there.
Overall I'd say it was a pretty good episode, but there were a few minor complaints. Be sure to check back next week for the review for the next episode!
