So far I'm enjoying the second season of UK so much better. Ginny's self elimination, the corona situation, the Eurovision episode, queens not holding back the drama - it's so chaotic I love it. However I was so disappointed to see Veronica go because she was my top 3 and I even saw her winning. My top 3 for now are Lawrence, Tayce and maybe Ellie or Tia. Season 13 - mehhh... I only watch for Rose, Denali and Olivia. Symone is all right too. The favoritism of the winners circle is so obvious (especially with Kandy, Gottmik and Tina) and it throws me off completely... I hate how in recent seasons you can see right at the begining who's making it to the finale and never lipsyncing no matter how badly they flop at some challenges. Makes the show so predictable and less interesting. Anyways, fingers crossed that snatch game and rusical won't be crap

I see this topic is dead and I don't really follow ESC this year either, but I just watched my country's (Croatia) national finals and this one won: I know it's not the best, but compared to everything else, it was the only reasonable option... The show was really crap with barely 2-3 normal songs.... So what do you guys think?

they needed a fat positivity character. None of the original girls is overwight so they just took Flora, made her overweight and changed her name to Terra to avoid backlash. If they didn't do that, you know that everyone would complain that the cast is too skinny. There's no winning today because whatever they did, someone would be offended. They didn't have other choice but to sacrifice Flora as a victim of the forced inclusivity on today's television And Tecna probably got cut off due to low budget. She's probably the least popular but I remmeber how much her technical knowlege alwas helped the group, like whatever they had to find, the bitch would always pull up the coordinates or some shit. Miss Essential. The original show obviuosly hated her because she always got the least screentime and the least stroylines so they though we wouldn't care abouth her being gone the fact that her biggest storyline was when she temporarly died in season 3 the most maltreated character in the whole show's franchise

It was worth the watch for me. Yeah it has its downsides and I would have done some thing differently but it's still a great show. It wouldn't hurt giving it a chance and as you can see by what other people say, it gets better by the finale and a lot of things get cleared up. Also I had no idea World of Winx Season 3 was coming! Actually I don't see any official confirmations online. I only know Season 9 is confirmed and that they plan to change the format to a 10-15 minute episode and make it even more childlish.... It's so sad to see that the original series has no intention of going back to what it once was. I thought there was a chance for that since Nickelodeon is now out of the picture, but it's only getting worse...

becuase the writers know that most of the teenagers today want that their fave shows feed them with liberal/feminist ideologies... I found it very cringe too.. They also mentioned feminism and patriarchy several other times... For almost 20 years it has been a show for girls, about girls and girl power and now all of a sudden it has to tell us it's feminist... no shit Totally agree. I said the same thing, Fate lacked the sense of friendship and togetherness that the original show put so much emphasis on. But I see that's how teenagers on TV are today - acting cold, distant and bitchy towards your friends makes you edgy and cool. I don't remember Winx girls being like that. As you can see from my opinion, a lot of the differences come down to how teenagers were like in 2005 vs how they are today. In original, Bloom was also an outcast at her hometown - remember the popular girl Mizi who was a real bitch and hated Bloom? Well, Bloom didn't give a crap about it and was like "whatever" and moved on with her life and never took it out on her parents. However, in Fate, they turned her into this complete depressed outcast with zero friends who hates her parents because of it. Bloom's parents are IMO characters that Fate ruined the most. Fianle spoiler:

I've finished all of the episodes and I have to say it's good - I really enjoyed it. Yeah, it's not exactly the Winx we grew up with. But the new things they added, the new stroylines of Bloom's origin, the ancient magic, the burned ones, etc. As i said, it's a really good mix of something old and something new. Honestly, I didn't miss the removed characters so much. I only wish they were more of a group, it took them all 6 episodes to come together and kind of like each other. Stella did progress but I would have liked to see more. Bloom transormed at the end which means the ancient magic that allsows them to transform still exists. There's just so much going on. I feel like Bloom's story is still so unclear. Everyone was kind of lying too much and constantly switching between being good and bad lol. The ending really gave us so much material for potential stroylines for season 2. But I'm afraid this will be just added to the endless sea of Netflix's series that were created just to be out there for a while and then get forgotten.

I just finished the first episode and I really liked it! There's a good mix of new things and similariites to the original cartoon. The show is definitelly going for the edgy Riverdale-like aestatics, but I don't really mind that. I like the girls; Bloom really has that new girl charm like the Bloom from season 1 of the show. One thing I dislike is how they portrayed her parents as evil because in the cartoon, they were the sweetest people always supporting her. And her stroyline of being a socially awkward edgy teen was meehhh... Bloom setting ther asses on fire was sad but kinda iconic. I love Terra and her quirky positive enegy and when she stood up to that bully I became a stan. I'm interested in the romance storyline with Terra and that guy she saved. Loved Aisha and how she helped Bloom and Musa seems ok. But Stella - what the hell was that. No resemblence to the cartoon character whatsoever. The original Stella is girly, fun, loud, exicted about everything but the one in Fate is just a straight up bitch. But maybe that's a good thing? Becuase there's a lot room for character development. Hopefuly she'll become a part of the group. The original Stella didn't give a fuck that she failed a year at Alfea, but this one is clearly mad about it. These are some of my thoughts for now, 5 more episodes to go!

Summoning all the gays & girls of Lanaboards, the time has come for us to finally discuss… THE WINX CLUB. Netflix has just released a brand new show called Fate: The Winx Saga, which is basically a live-action remake of the famous girl power fantasy cartoon Winx Club. Yes, our favorite fairies are real people now! In six one hour episodes, Fate follows the life of fairies with magical powers who attend Alfea and fight evil as they navigate through love & friendship. I was very excited for this because Winx raised me up and turned me gay back in the late 2000s when waking up every morning to catch the newest episode was my reason to live. Sadly, when Nickelodeon took over the show around 2010, it lost all of its quality and depth and turned into this circus show for 5 year old children. That’s why Fate has been marketed as a young adult series, so I take it this is their attempt to draw back the older audiences who grew up with the original show. So, here’s the main cast: (from left to right: Stella, Terra, Bloom, Musa, Aisha) The main character Bloom is played by Abigail Cowen, whom you might recognize from Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. Sadly, our girls Flora & Tecna got dropped out of the lineup (I guess budget cuts!!). Rip tho… However, this new girl Terra seems to be a fairy of nature (and she even says Flora is her cousin), so at least we got that. No sight of Tecna tho. Specialists are there too and will surely provide us with some romance storylines. As for the villains, there’s this girl Beatrix who’s said to resemble the original Trix witches. So, any fans of the original show out there? Are you planning to or did you check out Fate and what are your thoughts & feelings? Let’s gossip!

I've been wanting to read Crice for so long because I read The Song of Achilles (by the same author) and LOVED IT. I'm curently reading "Becoming a Man: Half a Life Story" basically an autobiography of a gay man who was growing up in the 50s/60s and became a writer after graduating from Yale. Would totally recommend to all of you reading gays

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/29/world/europe/croatia-earthquake.html The earthquake was also felt in Austria, Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia, Hungary and even Italy. Sending out support if there's any Lanaboards members from this area. I hope you are fine. I live in northern Croatia and it was horrifiyng - me and my family had to run out of the house, things were falling of shelves, it got us really scared. Thank God there wasn't any serious damage in my area. Sadly, the town of Petrinja (which was the epicentre) is pretty much ruined. Thousands of people left homeless and 7 found dead so far... We've been watching the news on TV the whole day and it literally all looks like there's a war going on or something. Please include Croatia in your prayers tonight. We won't be sleeping calmly, especially because this is the second bigger earthquake in the last 2 days.

I hate that I have to use that scamming data-stealing website & its messenger because it's where I get my college info and stay in touch with my collegues. I'm permamently deleting that shit first thing when I graduate -
Yeah totally, it doesn't feel like the good old seasons anymore (it's the lack of drama for me lol!) but I sill love & enjoy the show, I mean the cast of S12 was very talened and they got some great moments - the rusical about Madonna for example which is my favorite thing they ever did on RPDR AGREED! I skipped the reunion and finale in S12... but hey at least we're getting the rest of the season regularly I hope
