Been meaning to do this for a while... It's nearing the witching hour on Halloween night, so what better time than now to post a summary of Winx Club's Halloween episode? :-)

( In which the Winx celebrate Halloween :-) )

Leading in to Nick US's broadcasts of their re-dub of S3, here's a four-part summary for the last of the four specials. So after 3 specials devoted to season 1, we're only getting one special for all of season 2. Get ready for a bumpy ride...

This weekend, we have the last of the four hour-long specials recapping the first two seasons, but first, let's recap The Battle for Magix. In four parts, of course :-)

( In which the Trix really mean business )

Once again, in the run up to the next Nick special, here's a 4-part summary for the second special. Due to the first special delaying Bloom's first transformation until the events of episode 10, there will be quite a bit of backtracking going on.

In the run up to Nickelodeon's next Winx Club special, I've decided to post a summary of the first special over the next 4 days (one post per segment). Here we go...

7 years ago, 4Kids Entertainment brought Winx Club to the US (and most other English-speaking countries), and, in spite of the many changes 4Kids made to the show, life was good for a while. Then came season 3, with its 8:00 am start time, multiple gaps between new episodes, and less-than-stellar writing. While Europe enjoyed not just a 4th season, but also two CG movies, America was stuck in early morning reruns for a good 3 years. Then last September, came the news that Nick had brought up the rights to Winx, and the fandom rejoiced.

For the next several months, little tidbits of information came trickling out, mostly regarding voice actors (Molly "Alexis Castle" Quinn as Bloom? I'll... reserve judgment). Most importantly though, it was revealed that Rainbow was condensing the first 2 seasons into a series of one-hour specials, animated in S4 style. This was received with some trepidation, considering the last time a Nick property tried to do something like that, the results were... rather disappointing. On the one hand, this show doesn't have that other show's intricate plotting, on the other hand, they have twice as many episodes to fit in two hours (which, in this case, is more like 90 minutes)... So let's see how they fare, shall we?

I've been busy these past couple weeks. Some of it's a bit personal, so I might put up a friends-only post for that. But anyway...

Previously on Winx Club, Bloom went off to Pyros to become stronger, while Timmy was adamant that Tecna was still alive, and started searching for her. Let's how things are getting along, shall we?

( In which the impossible happens... again )
