Weird they added in the baby glow toads. Feels like the cast keeps adding in new pet characters like their Pokémon.

Finally someone said it, I completely agree rayla should have apologized to Callum for leaving for two years. On his birthday

are we gonna ignore the fact that they literally found the prison? aaravos may not be free just yet, but like, they are gonna be literally carrying him around with them. thats gonna be stressful mannnn

I think season 5 is hit and miss. Virens dream sequences were great and the best part of the season. Claudia and Terry spent too much time on the river and Terry needs still a backstory. I mean we are two seasons in and we haven't got an explanation, why Terry supports a dark mage. The sunfire plotline still seems out of place aside from the bookery. Callum and Claudias group don't even have a sunfire elf in their group. Karim is a weak antagonist and the sun fire priest will be the true antagonist of this story. I think season 5 is a step up from season 4, but still not good. The show runners want to create a franchise with games, novels and comics. But the current quality of the show isn't good enough for it and the show will be forgotten after season 7.

The worst thing about the sunfire elf plot is how easy it would have been to make it plot relevant. Just make it clear that Aaravos was manipulating Karim into stirring up a conflict to distract the arch dragons from his return. We know he targets mages and starts wars to benefit himself, this would be a great opportunity to show that again and the fact that he was aware of the situation with the sunfire elves and humans would cause the audience to question how much he sees and put into perspective just how dangerous he is. I mean we already saw that in the first 3 seasons but since it has been 4 years and they're using him less now it would be a good idea to make his influence seem further once again. Unfortunately I think the storyline is past the point where they could have introduced that in a believable way, missed opportunity

It's like people forget the first 2 seasons of the dragon Prince, nothing really happened, it wasn't until the last 3 episodes that anything truly happened. Everything else was just character building, so until we have the entire rest of the seasons I don't believe we can really say how good it is.

When I saw the monster eating the horse.... I audibly gasped. And then they did it TWICE!

While I do believe this was a step up from last season. I still think there were a few missed opportunities and weird choices. Viren dies without trying to stop Claudia from making the same mistake he did and I would have liked a scene where he spoke to Soren and said he was proud of him for choosing a different path and apologizing to him for commanding him to kill the Prince's. I also think he could have asked Terry to save Claudia since he was running out of time and couldn't do it himself. As for the Sun Elf I do think it was a little out of character for Miyana to side with Karim when last season I got the impression that she didn't side with him at all.

Anyone else think it's kind of weird that it's only NOW Callum is learning another magic? I naturally assumed he'd master or at least learn all 6 forms of magic, but we're at the end of Season 5 of 7 and he's only got two. So what is another Time skip gonna happen and he just learns Earth, Sun and Moon off screen?

I really liked Viren's whole psychological horror purgatory nightmare arc. Especially when they just straight up pulled a Twin Peaks. It was so cool.

Season 5 was pretty solid but the one thing that annoyed the hell out of me was Ezran literally getting everyone on the team almost killed just for 3 baby glow toads😭. I mean he stole them and didn’t expect the most dangerous pirate in xadia to want them back?? His Brother gets tortured along with close friends Rayla and Soren and no one calls him out, crazy

S5 SPOILERS:

One thing that still perplexes me is: Has Rayla actually apologized to Callum for leaving? The closest thing I have seen is the library scene and that wasnt an apology, that was her trusting Callum with the coins.

Definitely an improvement over last season. Although a few things still bugged me.

I don't think Callum giving Rayla space with her personal business is the main issue with their relationship this season. I think the problem I had, personally, was that she was intentionally deceitful and even stole from him, and he then acted like that was okay because... "trust," I guess. It's one thing to trust that someone has good intentions and let them open up to you in their own time, but another thing entirely to accept blatant disrespect. So while I liked their dynamic this season better than the last and I thought they had some really sweet moments, I still wish the series would let Rayla start accepting a bit more accountability in the rift between them. I guess her deciding to start being more open and honest with Callum in episode 4 after that talk with Amaya was a step in the right direction at least.

Season five was, for me, leaps and bounds ahead of season four as far as enjoyability goes, but it also made me realize how quickly some of these arcs need to be wrapped up in season six. Assuming every plot line needs to be concluded neatly by the end of season seven, with some extra wiggle room in the later episodes to put more emphasis on Aaravos and the big final battle, some of these story threads really need to be ended for the most part during season six or to have more focus put on them during the next season to make the last season bear more weight. For example, if Callum’s dark magic plot line isn’t going to be ended in the season six finale, then it really needs to have some real attention and achieve new depths to make it worth having an arc spanning across the entire franchise. They seemed to have started to have a plot line more focused on Ezran needing to be more of a kid and him having to grow up super quickly, but it was squashed as soon as it started. Rayla and Callum’s relationship, in particular, really needs to have some focus during the next season. You can get away with less time with Terry and Claudia (just have a couple cute scenes intermixed with Terry’s reluctance and regret as he watches Claudia go down a darker and darker path), but not with Rayla and Callum. There needs to be some scene where the two actually have a full on conversation about Rayla leaving and how it’s negatively affected all of those around her, complete with an actual confrontation and apology before the two inevitably restart their relationship. I also think it would be wise if Amaya and Janai went ahead and had their wedding at some point during season six, because the sun elf plot line needs to dedicate more time on Karim.

The whole rayla and Callum thing pissed me of because it’s absolutely nothing like how they were portrayed in the early seasons

Me and my friend's biggest grip with the season was... The situation at the "bookery". And no, not because Callum decided to stay. He had an undestandable reason. It was the fact that Amaya and Corvus almost died and Zubeia got infected because... they were saving Bait. Freaking Bait that somehow ended up surrounded instead of, idk, sitting on somebody? Why did nobody carry him? Why was he with Callum and Reyla in the first place? They couldn't leave him at the camp?

I have a weird relationship with this season. Yesterday I thought "eh it was alright." But today I think it's really good. I'm really conflicted on how they handled Rayla and Callum. Like you stated, the show kinda just pretends it never happened, personally I'm a firm believer that you have to stick with the decisions you made in a show or movie and not backtrack, because Rayla and Callum could work. In episode 4 they were so SO close to having a talk or an apology between those two characters but they just didn't do it. Their are other things here and there that are a bit strange but overall I think it's solid. I don't think its as good as the first three seasons but its a good step up.

while i do get that Rayla didn’t want to Callum to get hurt if he came with her, but she should’ve had some communication with him throughout those 2 years. She also hasn’t fully apologized to Callum and while i do like their relationship, Rayla needs to do something extreme for an apology or else it just will feel too late but i hope season 6 does bring that
