[Freedom Fighter]

http://library.toonzone.net/talkbacks/4kids.JPGhttp://fridays.toonzone.net/talkbacks/winxclub.gifLast time on 'Winx Club'... feeling threatened by the Company of Light, Baltor hatches a plan to have Faragonda, Saladin, and Griffin eliminate each other! As they're distracted, Baltor goes to Alfea to steal their spell books. But guess who's waiting... that's right, the Winx girls! But in the midst of battle, Baltor gives a startling revelation! He absorbed Bloom's parents and they might be alive inside him?

That wasn't the only surprise, though, as Ophir reveals himself to be Nabu, the guy Layla was forcibly engaged to marry! Only now... they both seem willing to go through with it, even though their parents are realizing their mistake in trying to force it!

Yep, another episode in which something cool happens... "Only on The Game Station"

i've seen the first 2 episodes before, they were alright, but what about the "exclusive" US sneak preview episode, are 4Kids forgetting that in the list?

Anyways, Best moment of the series was when our Heroine got her winx, for the first time... that was in ep 3... good times...

i liked it we found out that baltor lyed to bloom he does not have blooms parents trapped inside of him which is good news.and we found out that oritel and marium are on a far of place that bloom cant apparently go to.

[Viper]

Ok. Here are my random thoughts on this ep:

1. I thought Bloom's nightmare was very creepy!!!:eek: :eek: :eek:

2. I'm sooooo relieved to hear that Bloom's parents are ok!:D Too bad she can't get to them, though. At least, not until the movie.:sad:

3. I must admit the Trix looked hot in their own new De-Enchantix forms!:D However, I feel they're gonna be tougher to defeat now!:eek: :ack:

4. I loved how the girls used "Time Freeze" on the Trix, even if was only temporary.:D

5. I'm glad the Winx girls used Convergence on the Trix, even though it only slowed them down a bit.:)

A good ep. 4 stars.

Don't forget, next week will be Part 1 of the huge 2-part final ep! DO NOT MISS IT!!!!! (I hope Darcy doesn't miss it. I'd like her to be part of our big 2-part final talkback!:) )

[Silverstar]

Is it just me, or are the Trix just getting weaker and weaker and the series winds to a close? Even with their new Disenchantrix powers, they still got pwned by the fairies, and in less than one episode, no less.

[Darcy]

The Trix are pathetically weaker now, I agree. The writers haven't made them proper adversaries since Season 1 and maybe early Season 2. They should have improved, not weakened. It's ridiculous. And they should also have natural evolution like the fairies. Gloomix was given by Darkar, Disenchantix by Baltor. Neither was permanent (Disenchantix has been erased by the deus ex machina fairy dust from what I understood). How are they supposed to compete when witches don't evolve like fairies? How in the world is Ms. Griffin as strong as Faragonda without some sort of evolution? It's all confusing and very badly written. The writers don't balance out the schools (or even show Beta Academy!) or the basic concepts of the world they created. All they do is move the plot forward towards the movie. Pa-thetic.

And they need to stop using fairy dust to heal everything. That's why I chose Winx over the long forgotten Charmix and the new Enchantix. With their Winx, they had to work toward things. With Enchantix, all they do is sprinkle some dust around and their problems are magically and horrifically boringly solved. I wanted to see more new powers, not some deus ex machina DUST. That stuff has, like, no limits and it's just wrong.

One final note: Those Disenchantix outfits are NOT GOTH. That makes at least three references to Goth in this show that have been negative. That's insulting, ignorant and unnecessary. I'm blaming the 4Kids writers for this, since I doubt they made these references in other countries, but they need to start doing some frelling research before they insult an entire subculture repeatedly. :mad: That's one reason I'm glad this show is over. No more having to endure insults to my subculture from a bunch of lamebrained writers.

Im going to post the raiting only this week, i've seen the eppy, it was good, however, i cannot wait for 9.22.07

"The Witches Crypt" - 4/5 for a splendid eppy, Pure win on the Trix's new outfits...

YTV has this really stupid promo for the 1:30 pm weekday airings. It starts with the last ep we see the Pixies in, some speech about that being as far as they can go, when some flyswatter smacks Digit. There's a scene with Sky getting smacked by another one. A third one hits Layla, but she's about to give the guy a punch (we don't see him though). It's hard to describe, but that's pretty much what happens.

[Viper]

TKNHappyNess, I'm really getting tired of you spoiling things for us Americans! Enough is enough!!!:mad:

Also, you'd better not tell us what happens in the all-important final ep!!! I want to be surprised and excited!!!:mad:

So, please. Stop giving away details, it's not right and I find it very heartless and cruel that you keep doing it!!!!!!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[TKnHappyNess]

The guy didn't pay attention to the earlier post because I said "the last episode the Pixies are in", which is Ep 73. Besides, they have no real importance in Season 3. So it's really stupid spoiling an ep that's already aired in the U.S.

[Viper]

Ok, ok. So, maybe I made a mistake. However, I need to clear something up, if I may:

I didn't mean to cause all this.:( I WOULD like to stick around a little longer to comment on the final 2 eps.

"buries face in hands" Why can't I ever post right?!:ack: :(

[Master Toon]

TKnHappyNess, chill his words weren't so bad.

Darcy, you're a disgrace to witches.

Viper, can you tell me what season Winx Club is up to?

[Viper]

Viper, can you tell me what season Winx Club is up to?We're still on Season 3, considering there's only 2 eps left.

[Darcy]

Darcy, you're a disgrace to witches.

Of course I am! I have no powers, I'm capable of being nice and I try to control the chaos when it gets out of hand. That does indeed make me a disgrace. :p I love Darcy to pieces, but I'm not that much like her. Not here anyway. In other places, I am because we have freer reign.

[Dee]

Okay guys, you need to calm down.

Please keep things civil and on topic because I don't want to have to come back and clean up another mess, and I most definately do not want to have to close this thread for good.

Thread re-opened.

[Freedom Fighter]

And so the truth comes out... Bloom's parents are alive, but not in Baltor! Hurray... I think. It's nice to know there's still one unresolved plot thread to bank on (besides the expected main thread with Baltor).

I also agree with the writing on the Trix. It's like either they get a new power but it's not to the degree of the Winx girls, or they get dumbed down to weaklings. I'm tired of harping to them that good > bad means to them the Trix seem to be powerful, but then they get knocked out of the park with ease. Yeesh.

That being said, I still think the battle between the Trix and the Winx was still worth something. Time freeze tactics, illusion spelling Stella, mass surrounding convergence attack. A good deal of variety in an averagely entertaining battle.

"The Witches' Crypt": 3.5/5.

[mg_winxclub]

Glad to hear Baltor lied to Bloom, he's been an awesome bad guy. Dis-enchantix outfits for the witches are hot! :D
