I’m going to start off with my positives here. I’ve mentioned prior many times that the fantastical and magical world of this series is off the beaten path of the film, but it proves to be a colorful and creative piece world building that I am growing to enjoy in its own right. The ancestors ghost battle I thought was a great way of incorporating all of the characters strengths, and it was simultaneously an extension of the absurd magic stuff. Um, about Cassandra. I don’t particularly understand the concept of building up her character over these past two seasons as being a strong wielded partner and friend to the crew, just for her to fully deviate and destroy the build up a mission they had been working to for months. All in the idea she saw a memory of her not being prioritized by her evil mother that she only found out about just days before arriving at the moonstone. It just seems like a weak excuse for the twist, and don’t get me wrong, the twist was definitely a shocking and pretty cool moment, but like, I think the backstory should’ve been stronger than that. What do you guys think? I’m heading now into season 3, (using some of what I learned from the premiere in this review), but I’m sure they will explore this much more as that season progresses. Apologies for the long review, and I appreciate it if you read this far!

I really liked this episode as well! I think now that I’m so deep into this new world, you kind of stop trying to compare it to the film, and that benefits it here. It was very reminiscent of The Truman Show and I thought that arc of her trying to free herself from a false reality was pretty cool. I also liked the House of Yesterday’s Tomorrow, it was a cool setting for these past few episodes. The ending with Cass having seen something in the house was a decent cliffhanger as well, I’ll be excited to see where that leads in the upcoming episodes.

I finally made my way back to the series, apologies for the long gap if any of you were following. I thought this episode was a pretty fun side quest story. I think that it was actually decently scary and had an interesting overall plot. I know it’s a deep cut but it reminded me of this one episode of an old R.L. Stine series called The Haunting Hour, where it was essentially Bloody Mary. I’m glad I made it back to the show, and the community here has been super kind so I appreciate it! I’ll stick to this now and get the show done so there isn’t a big pause in between again😅

To those who followed my reviews from a few months back, I promise I will get back to watching and reviewing, I just got a little side tracked. Hopefully will have a new review out in the next week or so. I totally understand if none of you guys are interested in my opinions or perspectives as a first time watcher, so let me know what you think!

It’s just baffling that Disney no longer does expo livestreams, considering it’s such an exciting time for Disney fans all over. I either watch it from home, or I just stay home and not see it at all. It would be so great to get free access to these like they did in the past.

I used to not be the biggest fan of the whole moon storyline, just for the absolute absurdity of it all, but going back, it’s really grown on me. You just have to back up and realize that aliens are the least of our problems in a world overridden by ducks, pigs, and dogs.

Not to mention the Sharka, maybe my favorite gag in the whole show😂
