Well, it’s not too bad, scenery is nice, but the main character is unbelievable in her selfishness and righteousness and hypocrisy. It really annoyed me that she did so many wrong things and yet she’s the heroine, the good, beautiful, powerful girl that they all adore.
She was so set on having her answers, because they were important to HER, that she couldn’t wait a single day to get them.
Of course it’s not all her fault, no, I see that. The adults here keep saying that they are preparing these students to fight, and yet they keep treating them like children, hiding everything from them.
And of course, it gets more complicated when you see that it was the Queen the first to want to hide the truth.
So, I realise the trouble at the end is not totally and only Bloom’s fault, but it annoys me that nobody has her acknowledge how selfish and dangerous she has been.
Nonsensical things: really, every time these first year fairies meet one of those creatures, they always manage to stop it, and yet lots of soldiers die every time they hunt them. *rollingeyes
Details as I watched the episodes for the first time:
1 - To the waters and the wild
Bloom never knew anything about the Otherworld until three months ago, and now she’s in Alfea at a school for fairies. She wished to learn control, but she discovers that it will be a long, slow process.
She settles in a room with other first-years. Bloom is apparently a fire fairy. Aisha is probably a Gryffindor :lol: while Bloom is half Ravenclaw half Slitherin. Terra is a earth fairy, no surprise there (cousin of Flora).
Stella is a light fairy, and a second year, which makes sense since she’s a mentor and seems pretty settled; Musa likes music.
Even if it’s another realm, she can still use her phone and videochat with her mom.
The other building is for the Specialists, boys and girls who prepare to fight. There are creatures, called the Burned Ones, that were supposed to have been killed, all of them, but now that a farmer found dead it seems that might not be the case.
Sky has taken a liking to Bloom and warns her not to go outside the barrier, but since she hears that there are no people there she goes anyway for some peace and quiet. She wants to learn to control her magic on her own, seems impatient. I personally don’t think that the woods are the right place to practice fire, and she learns the same when she loses control and almost burns everything down, but luckily Aisha saw her and followed her and used her water to stop it.
It’s sharing time, and Bloom tells her of how he doesn’t get along with her mom at all, and after another fight she got so angry, that she set her parents room on fire. Then the headmistress found her. Aisha thinks she’s a changeling, a fairy baby switched at birth with a human one, because she says she’s too powerful not to be pure-blooded.
Riv forces a first year, Dane, to drink alcohol and Terra comes to his rescue, because she’s had a bad day and she’s had enough, and almost strangles him with vines. Musa is a mind fairy. Jealous of Bloom talking to Sky, Stella gives her a ring to go back to her world, for which she has to go outside the barrier, deep into it. She goes back, looks at them through the window, talks to them on the phone. Bloom cries and goes to hide in a warehouse nearby - or something like that, when she is attacked by a creature. She loses the ring, but luckily the headmistress comes to deal with the creature. After she got the truth out of Stella, Terra probably warned her, with Aisha and Musa.
Stella goes to Sky, to seduce him after she broke up with him before the summer, and also because she thinks that after the stupid thing she did everybody hates her.
Bloom is worried because the Burned One took Stella’s ring and is worried for her world.
Terra is sad that Musa doesn’t seem to like her, and avoids her all the time, and tells her ‘I’m an empath’ so she can feel her anxiety, insecurity and anger, so she puts headphones on to be left to her own emotions for once.
The headmistress chained the creature but didn’t kill it because she wants to learn more; she admits to the Specialists teacher, Saul, that she found a changeling in the human world, left there 16 years ago and feels it’s all connected.
It ends with Beatrix, using her electicity on the Burned One.
2 - No strangers here
Stella freaks out knowig the Burned One now has her ring, because she’s an actual princess and that ring is the Queen’s and now she’s desperate to get it back, so she plans to go and get it with the help of Bloom who feels responsible.
At their first lesson, everyone can access their magic but Bloom, who tries to thing positive thoughts and emotions but it doesn’t work. Later Stella sort of helps, teaching her to use negative emotions like fear and rage, but when she finds out Aisha is not ok with that because she says negative emotions are unreliable.
Musa finds a boy who… I don’t know, has a peaceful effect on her. She can sense other people at all time, causing a great chaos in her head, but when he’s around it becomes peaceful, and then Aisha calls him so they can meet and it’s Sam, Terra’s brother.
When the girls go to get the ring, it turns out the creature escaped and killed many soldiers. Silva is injured and therefore infected, but Terra has him drink an unguent she made to subdue the creature, and then she and Musa bring him back to school.
Beatrix calls the headmistress to Silva’s side, and then she searches her office, finding a hidden place. The headmistress assistant apparently is on the same side, they are working for someone and she wants to uncover the secret the school has kept secret for 16 years. She can’t enter the room though, and goes away.
Bloom and Aisha manage to stop the creature and get the ring (oh la la, why send soldiers when two teenage fairies can do the job?)
Blood and Aisha talk in their room, and suddenly Bloom kinda goes in a trance and her eyes are white.
3 - Heavy mortal hopes
Silva can walk around but his infection is not healed and won’t be until they kill the Burned One that attacked him. Sky is very worried because after losing his father now Silva is his father figure, his father’s friend.
There’s a Specialists party and Terra wants to go because Dane will be there, and she has her roommates go with her. Aisha is having trouble controlling her magic, while Bloom is doing fine now. She’s irritable and upset.
Bloom is concerned with Sky and they talk and drink at the party, but then Riven tells her that Stella purposefully blinded her best friend because she dare flirt with Sky, so she leaves and finds pictures of Rosalind, and she’s the woman she saw in her vision, but when she asks Beatrix lies and says she doesn’t know who she is. Beatrix then goes to the headmistress office, using the assistant to trigger the ward, so after he’s on the floor in bad shape she can pass through. She finds another barrier down there, and she leaves after attacking the assistant until he vanishes.
A Burned One has been killed, but Silva hasn’t healed, meaning that it probably was another one, not the one that attacked him, so it was not the only one.
At the party, Musa talks to Sam, but in secret because she thinks Terra won’t like it and her emotions are always strong. They also kiss.
Bloom confronts Farah about Rosalind, who was the headmistress who taught Farah, but apparently she died years ago, but Farah won’t tell her anything more about her. Bloom goes at the stone circle to use a lot of magic and maybe have another vision but it doesn’t work and she breaks down in tears. Sky finds her while he’s going to search for the Burned One by himself, but she can feel it like it happened the first time. She can sense it nearby. Sky runs ahead. All the roommates get a text informing them of this (while Musa was kissing Sam again), although the text said Stone Circle, and yet they arrive at the right place just a few seconds after Sky and Bloom arrive there after their run.
The fairies together attack him, including Stella, and Sky stabs him, but it’s not totally dead until Farah shows up behind them and finishes it off. Now Silva is healed.
Terra cries after someone sends her a video of a drunk Dane fooling around with River and Beatrix - I mean, they were already drunk and smoking pot and sort of touching each other and talking shit, but we don’t know how far the fooling around went.
The ep ends showing us what behind all those ward barriers, what the school is trying to hide: Rosalind, and Farah says that if Rosalind is calling to her there must be a reason, therefore they can never meet.
4 - Some wrecked angel
Farah, Saul and Ben discover that the assistant Callum is dead and that there’s a murderer in their school.
Aisha took his job, because Bloom suggested it so she can give her hints.
There’s an assembly about the Burned Ones, and the Queen is coming.
From the reaction of Terra’s father and brother when Dane showed up to talk to her, was the video sent to her or uploaded on the net? Nobody else is talking about it, but seems strange she would talk about it to her family. She shuts him out, telling him to be careful who he trusts (difficult thing since he seems to like Riven, and he’s trouble, and in close proximity to the murderer.)
Bloom sneaks down the east wing while everyone’s at the assembly. Sky goes with her and later are joined by River and Beatrix. Sky and River have a confrontation leaving the girls alone. Farah tries to find the magic that killed Callum at the assembly, but nobody notices that four students are missing. The girls find a war room.
The Queen, other than very powerful, is also very tough and strict, and irritated with Farah for how slowly she’s teaching Stella. She wants her daughter to be powerful, but the was the girl was instructed before didn’t have the right result and she feels she’s improving, but mom does not agree.
Terra, Aisha and Musa talk to each other and figure out that a fairy killed Callum, and when they tell Sky he realises it must be Beartix, and they text her a lot but she only cares about misteries and her own search so doesn’t read them.
Sky is looking for Bloom and has a fight with Stella about it. The girls have words with Farah and Ben, Terra is pissed because Bloom might be in danger because they lied to the students.
Beatrix steals a car and takes Bloom to a hidden town, Aster Dell, hidden by Queen Luna to hide the fact that everyone in that town was killed while they hunted the Burned Ones. Beatrix calls it a war crime: she was born there, and her family died, and she says Bloom was born there as well. Beatrix says she knows what happened because Rosalind rescued them both, and imprinted the memory in her mind. She says that their three teachers did that, and that Farah imprisoned Rosaslind and that she wants to break her out, but the three catch them and arrest Beatrix and bring Bloom back. Her roommates tell her Beatrix killed Callum, but she’s not sure what to believe because those three told them and she doesn’t trust them now.
Terra is so upset that her dad lied to her, that Musa feels guilty and tells her about her having been dating her brother for weeks; luckily Terra takes it well, glad she told her.
Queen Luna takes Stella away to teach her herself. Silva orders Sky to stick to Bloom and basically spy on her to refer to him, but still won’t tell him the whole truth.
When Bloom talks to Farah, the woman only asks question but doesn’t tell anything on her own. So Bloom lies, of course.
5 - Wither into the truth
Farah tries to break Beatrix mental defences to learn about her mission. Beatrix doesn’t break, instead tells her that she’ll appear like the victim to the school.
All the kids are now training hard for war. Silva and Farah keep telling the students nothing, only that they have to trust them, without regard on how they feel.
Soldier Marco is injured because the Burned One his team attacked wasn’t alone like it should have been, and the Solarian soldiers left. Only now he learns about Stella taken away from the school. The Queen has been distant since then.
Dane seems to still be on Beatrix side, and he helps Bloom get inside to talk to her. Beatrix admits that she killed Callum, but says there’s much more to it, and she can take her to Rosalind if she frees her, with Dane’s help. Dane wants to help her because Beatrix is the only one who made him fell good, like being different is ok, and she’s the only one who gave Bloom some answers.
Stella has been hiding in their suite, invisible. She talks to Musa about her life and her mother, how she trained her with negative emotions wanting her to be powerful at any cost, which caused her magic to be erratic and she inadvertently blinded a friend. Her mom wanted people to believe it was on purpose, it made her look strong and not weak.
Sky admits to Bloom he’s been ordered to spy on her, and she gets angry, but then he finds the thing she’s supposed to use to let Beatrix have her magic back or something, and Bloom wants to convince him that what she’s doing is right. They kind of bond on how broken they both are and then kiss. Then he falls down after she gave him the sedative Dane gave her.
The battallion out to kill the Burned One that attacked Marco is killed, all of them, because there were lots of them.
Terra and Aisha forced Dane to tell them what was going on, and then go to the cell, to stop Bloom for freeing Beatrix. They argue and Bloom almost attacks them, and that’s when she steps down and goes instead to confront Farah, appalled that Rosalind is still manipulating people after all those years. Farah now tells her that that day, Rosalind told them all that the town had been totally evacuated by her, only the Burned Ones were there now, so they combined their magic (another thing she kept secret until that moment) and unleashed it on the place, destroying it. Only later she found out the truth, seeing the bodies. She has no idea that Bloom comes from there , but insists that nothing is worth returning the threat that is Rosalind to their world, and tells her she’ll help her find her answers, tomorrow. She goes out with Silva, they have six Burned Ones to hunt.
Musa reveals Stella’s presence to Terra and Aisha, and Stella says they should help their friend Bloom. So Terra and Musa give the device back to Bloom and she breaks Beatrix out. The girls go to Farah’s office again, and Beatrix wants to push Dane to the ward like she did to Callum, but Stella materialises and pushes her instead. They go down but Bloom enters the last part by herself. Aisha instead goes to warn Farah.
6 - A fanatic heart
Rosalind speaks to Bloom’s mind, and in return for answers wants to be freed.
Stella, Terra and Musa notice Beatrix has disappeared, then Farah and Ben arrive with Aisha, very angry, but Rosalind has already been freed.
Terra is still angry at her father lying to her.
Rosalind tells Bloom that what Farah told her is true, she lied to them. They were an exception. Only fairies should be able to do magic, but those people where human witches, and she got her chance to destroy both them and the Burned Ones, but since they were witches and not fairies, they were not Bloom’s parents. Rosalind says the witches kidnapped her to use her great power.
Burned Ones attack the school and Sam is injured. Bloom runs to help, Rosalind stays behind.
Dane is the one that helped Beatrix.
Sky finds Bloom but is still angry at her, and she’s still convinced she did right.
Now Bloom confronts Farah, totally on Rosalind’s side, when her words let Farah understand that Rosalind is the reason the school is in danger. Rosalind is drawing the magic that kept the school safe.
Dane and River wake Beatrix and she’s on Rosalind’s side.
Silva tells Sky his truth. About his fight with Sky’s father. The two of them knew about Rosalind’s lie, but Andreas was on her side, so they fought. Saul killed him and ran to stop the attack but he was late.
Musa runs away from Sam’s pain. She felt every moment when last year her mother died, and now she can’t bear it with Sam, but then of course she goes back to help him, give him peace and takes his pain.
Bloom sneaks out with Stella and Aisha. She knows the Burned Ones are looking for her so she goes out. She wants to draw lots of magic to defeat them, and Aisha provides a water barricade to make her feel safe, while Stella hides herself and Aisha from view.
Bloom grows fire wings and shoots fire balls to the Burned Ones. She kills the six of them, or how many there were. She summoned ancient fairy magic, apparently.
Rosalind joins Beatrix and the two boys.
Farah tells Silva about Aster Dell people being blood witches, Rosalind never told them.
Finally Bloom admits ‘I’ve been a brat’ to Farah. And is forgiven. And Bloom hugs her.
Bloom goes back home, with her four friends, to tell her parents the truth. Rosalind told her that she gave her to them because their daughter was dying so she gave them both a chance.
It takes time but they all love each other and they all spend time together.
Queen Luna arrives with her guards to arrest Saul for the attempted murder of Andreas, who now is right there in front of his son.
Rosalind tells Farah of a legend, that the Burned Ones were created thousands of years ago (I didn’t understand how or why) and basically she let them into the school to test Bloom’s power who has in her the Dragon Flame or something. She talked to Queen Luna and didn’t even need to threaten her, she was already mad at Farah, so the Queen now is arresting Saul and also putting Rosalind as the new headmistress. Andreas raised Beatrix.
Farah doesn’t want to leave the school, so Rosalind kills her.
When the girls get back, instead of Farah, Saul and Ben they are greeted by Rosalind, Queen Luna and Andreas.
So here we have it. Bloom freed a self-confessed murderer because she couldn’t wait ONE day. Farah promised her to help her find her answers, but no, she wanted them immediately.
Bloom also freed Rosalind, who put the school in danger, killed Farah herself and changed the school in a war school.
