Wow, veiwers are being so hard on Ka Suo!

Okay, so I won't lie. This episode was a bit more boring. However, it's heavy on not only building character development, but giving us some history on other characters that haven't been center stage. Not to mention answering questions.

First off I will address that Ka Suo has been pretty awesome. Considering that he's lost his immortal powers. Not only is he powerless, but he will now only have the lifespan of a mortal. Some of the viewers have been super harsh on the poor boy. Which I find odd considering that the sword fairies are driving him insane. I think he's handled himself remarkably well. He deserves this time to flounder a bit.

So confirmation that Lotus is indeed a mermaid. It's strange that soooooo many people questioned it. Lotus is basically Lan Shang's (AKA Mermaid Princess depending we're you're watching the subs from) Aunt. Lotus is the younger sister.

Lotus states: Lan Shang is my older sister's daughter.

I still firmly believe that the evil cloud of smoke is a Fire Prince of some kind. That Lotus and him were an item. However, the flashbacks prove that she was in love at some point with the Fire King. Clearly there's something odd there. I want to believe that Shi is the Snow King's son. I mean how else could he get his Ice Powers? Unless the mermaid powers transform to their spouses? Is this another unheard of legend to be revealed?

Either way I think Shi would make an excellent King. Man can he play the politics game. Not to mention that he did orchestrate a better plan to defeat the Fire Tribe. No offense to Ka Suo, but his plan got him stripped of his immortal powers.

Ooooooooo, the Fire Princess totally wants Shi still! (I hope they're not related.) I think it's so sweet--and creepy--that she's planning to take him down by finding out his weakness. Then turns around and is basically magical diary/video/memory pining over him. Like a two year old. Well a two year old with fire powers.

Overall I am really digging all the twists and turns. The occasional odd graphic doesn't bother me, and the huge green screen stuff is either getting better or I'm getting used to it. This was a slower episode. However, I think Ice Fantasy is still very engaging and the writers are truly trying to take this ambitious plot to it's full potential. Can't wait to see what happens next. Especially with more word on the Mermaid Tear thing.
