Icy Sirenix, New Preview Clip, and Harmonix Clips

Man, a lot of stuff to stuff into one article, but it all came out so close to each other so they ended up together.

First, a new poster came out that includes Sirenix Icy! What do you guys think?

Personally, I feel like parts of it are really nice, but other don't work so well... like, I really love the stuff on her hair, face, and arms, but the jumpsuit(??) looks a little odd. 

But maybe she'll have Sirenix-looking tights on the legs?? Who knows. I don't really like the muk look of it though, it kinda looks like she fell in some oil. I know they were probably going for that, but you know what I mean. It doesn't work that well for clothing.

I absolutely adore the blue lipstick and makeup though, that's a giant improvement. Makes her look much more evil then before.

Be sure to check out MagixJourney's article on it, and MagicOfWinxClub's article on it! They reported it before me. :) And here is the source of this poster!


Also new in the Winx world, is a preview clip for the next episode! It shows Princess Krystal bringing Diaspro in to help Sky regain his memories. Bad move there, Krystal... that wasn't the smartest thing.

I don't really think she had bad intentions, but boy did she mess up. Eek. And Sky, why are you so trusting of Diaspro when you were reluctant to talk to Bloom about your past at all??? What!? 



Lastly, a new commercial came out for Harmonix dolls from Simba/Giochi/Witty/that European company, but it doesn't show off the dolls as much as it does Harmonix. They should advertise new Seasons like this, this got me pumped for Harmonix. Much more then for the dolls. :P

These clips were beautiful! Love Harmonix, definitely one of my favorite transformations of theirs. It's so pretty! But I still hold my old opinion of it being hard to fight in, I mean look at it. ;) Still very gorgeous, though.


Thanks for reading, and be sure to check back Sunday for my next episode review!! Assuming they air it, unlike last week. ;)

Review: Season 5: Episode 5, Tecna the Robot *SPOILERS*

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!

Review: Season 5: Episode 4, Return to Alfea *SPOILERS*

Image from the Winx Wikia
Let me start this off by saying I LOVE that they're returning to Alfea. It's good they're not staying on Earth, Earth had too many opportunities to do useless things. (Like, there's a much lower chance they're going to throw their Rock band and Pets into Magix then Earth.)

Now here is my review of the episode.

First off, since when can Dafne make wind blow? I know it was supposed to make the scene more dramatic, but jeezus. She's a spirit not... wind. What?

I kinda wish she had really died instead of this. Before it was made out to be she died saving her sister (and it was her choice to), now it just seems like an accident gone wrong, that can easily be fixed. Don't get me wrong, I love Dafne, but I hope they don't bring her back to life. It would negate the value of her sacrifice and make it too "happy ending for everyone." 

Looks like we're getting some Flora/Helia love drama this time. It's about time. I really like Princess Crystal's design. 

And does this mean Helia is from Lynphea? If he's childhood friends with Crystal, and she's the princess, wouldn't that mean he is?

Man, how much power can Tritannus pack into that trident?! If he can give the Trix THAT much power from one zap.. man.

Anyone else love Musa. She's being so snarky, it brings some variety to the cast. Almost reminds me of Season 1/2 (but mainly 1) Musa. She might be creeping up on my favorites list to be almost with Stella.

The fight they had was entertaining, but nothing to comment on. 

But wait, Sky fell ten stories!!

SKY WHATS WRONG WITH YOU WHY DIDNT YOU DIE IT WAS A TEN STORY FALL WHAT

You die if you fall ten stories, kiddies. Don't forget that.

..But now he doesn't remember Bloom. Somehow I am not surprised. It seems like it'll be an interesting plot nevertheless, but I hope it doesn't span over more then three or so episodes. I don't want the Season to just consist of "waahh my boyfriend doesn't remember me," but that might just be because I've watched various shows with that plot and I'm tired of it.

MY GOODNESS THE PREVIEW FOR THE NEXT EPISODE IS FRIGHTENING

Tecna finally gets some attention and she gets turned into a robot oh Tecna. :(

What I want to know though, is why is there EVEN a book that turns someone into a robot hanging out in Alfea's archive. WHY. When will that come in handy?!

Anyway, I liked this episode, but it wasn't as good as the last two. But it was better then the Lilo. :) I'd give it about a 7 or so out of 10. 

Thanks for reading everybody! Feel free to share your opinion on the episode in the comments :)
