Review: Season 5: Episode 2, The Spill *SPOILERS*

Today a fantastic episode air! It was more like the Season premiere. It was a lot better then The Lilo, and probably would've made a better Season starter.

So we start out with the Winx going to the Frutti Music Bar. Well, first they put on a fairy show, but I didn't think that was worth noting. It wasn't much. Anyway, They go there, they talk, and Sky tries to give Bloom a pendant-- the Pendant of Eraklyon, which he says if you give to your true love you and your loved one will have good luck. (anyone wanna bet that in some other dub it'll be to propose to her? after Nabu's 'forever girlfriend' move, I would NOT be surprised)
But of course, Bloom keeps being distracted so he doesn't get around to give it to her. Silly Sky. I feel like he's done this somewhere before.

The Winx also notice an oil rig in the sea, but it's not leaking or anything so they leave it alone. They also met Roxy at the bar, and she mentioned she was heading to Alfea "tomorrow", eee! Wanna see her at Alfea!

 So then Aisha shows she's video chatting with Tressa, who's sending her a live showing of the coronation going on on Andros. This next part really got me-- Aisha showed the Winx a picture of the royal family: Neptune, Ligea, Tressa, Nereus, and Tritannus. Then the Winx call Nereus a cutie, and Tritannus 'ehh'.

..are you kidding me? They look exactly the same, but one has darker hair and slightly darker skin. My goodness. They look exactly the same. Anyway, as seen in the clip "Masked Assassin," Tritannus interrupts the coronation. But man, is it just me or is Neptune kinda a jerk? Who goes on with the coronation when one of your children isn't there. Talk about playing favorites.

Anyway, as seen Tritannus is pretty disliked among the Andros people. And yeah, he is a total jerk. But that's not why they dislike him. It seems like a "OMG NEREUS IS SOOO MUCH BETTER" kinda thing going on. Poor little Tritannus.

Anyway, they start to send him to jail then we're back with the Winx. They realize the oil rig had an accident, and is now spilling oil all over the ocean! Flora has one of her psychic nature pain blasts, who knew it affected her for only water too? Thought it was only plants. And yeah, I know there are plants in the ocean, but didn't think they'd be far enough up to affect Flora.

They go in and save the people involved, but during the event Sky accidentally loses his pendant! It's a shame, it was pretty nice looking. Both Flora and Aisha try to stop the spill, and while they got it to stop leaking by turning the rig into something else, there's still pollution floating around in the sea.

So at the end we're back to Tritanuus, in prison. There he finds.. the Trix?
Am I the only one a little confused at this? Why are the Trix in prison? Weren't they just after the Lilo? The Winx didn't throw them in prison, they just kinda drove them off. Oh well. So then it pretty much implies that Tritannus and the Trix were teaming up.

Then in the next episode preview at the end, it showed Tritannus absorbing the pollution, and breaking into more containers of oil (I think?) and absorbing that to have more pollution-power.
Man, is it just me or is Tritannus a total jerk? I knew he was kind of whiny and I kinda felt bad for him with his brother becoming king, but dang. Now he's just being ridiculous.


Anyway, I really liked this episode! It was much better then The Lilo, and it was a proper Season opener. ;) Be sure to tune in next week when they air the third episode!

Season 5: Tritannus Clip, Flora and Tecna's Photogalleries

I'm sure by now you've all seen the clip of Tritannus and Nereus, if you haven't, check out BelieveInWinx or MagixJourney, they've both got it posted and uploaded!

My opinion? Best out of all the preview clips so far.
It's much more serious, and less silly. I like it a lot!

I do find it odd however that both Tritannus and Nereus look exactly the same, but with different hair colors. I mean, they even have the same hairstyle? What kind of brothers do that? Especially when one tries to kill the other...

And it's a nice touch they included Tressa and Queen Ligeia! At first I wasn't sure if I heard it right when Ligeia said brother, but watching it again I'm sure of it. It's nice that they're a family-- well not nice that they now have a mutated merman in their family, but nice they remembered their existence and didn't make a whole new royal family. I am wondering where Nabu fits in however. If Aisha's family rules over the land of Andros, and Tressa's the sea, what does that make Nabu's family? The second rulers of the land?

Also, nice to finally know how to pronounce Tritannus. Probably just me but I was always pronouncing it Tri-ton-us, instead of Tri-tan-us. Silly, huh? :P I just always thought it would be pronounced like the triton the object.

Also, Winx Club's Season 5 Online site has posted their photogalleries of Flora and Tecna! Here's a link, since I only included one of each in the post. ;)

Flora looks cute in the picture with Helia, and Tecna looks cute in the one with Timmy! Kinda funny they look cuter in the pics with their boyfriends, haha.

So what are you thinking of the Season so far, and of the new preview clip? Share in the comments!

And be sure to tune in this Sunday for the second episode of Season 5, The Spill!
