You know, while we don't think Stuck In My Head/Mind The Gap were bad episodes or anything, we kinda wish they'd been cut in favor of making that time the part one to The Battle of Big Wand, with the actually episode being part two. Make it a whole big forty to forty-five special instead of trying to fit it with a twenty-two to twenty-three minute run time

We actually like everything they were trying to do with the special, but we just wish they had more time to flesh things out and play around with the jokes between the plot moments. The writers probably didn't really have much of a choice with the time they were given to work with and had to prioritize where screen time was used, and honestly they did what they could, but sometimes it felt like 'and now this is happening so we can get moving with the plot'

#fop #a new wish #battle of the big wand #special spoilers #mostly in the tags really #anyways #it's wild that they would go out of their way to depict confetti day as being fatal for the fairies involved #show how *bad* it was for Peri in the moment #leaving him weak and physically sick and completely out of it #while still being so focused on Dev and prioritizing godkid over his own well being #and then just #*not* showing his recovery #having him be swept up in the rest of Wanda restoring Fairyworld and fine in the ending with no actual recovery moment on screen #the man was dying and his getting better moment was brushed offscreen #it's also weird that it took Peri seemingly weeks to get this bad (which makes sense if the buildup is something fatal this time around)#but then Cosmo and Wanda start spitting confetti and turning green after twenty minutes #when the big wand is Off- they arn't *getting* an influx of power right now #they can't even fly #if anything it's when the wand was turned that should be the moment Peri's condition turns critical #with the immediate next concern being making sure Peri doesn't Explode on them #make it a full circle moment where Dev walks up and makes a wish for a cupcake- but specifies the flavor this time #and then gets commercially buried in that cupcake #followed by Peri #having been so out of it he has *no* memory of the anti-fairy takeover or any idea why he's in Jorgen's office #but then he's happy to see Dev pop out of the cupcake pile #it'd really only need to be a couple minutes scene #but it's so weird to have so much screen time of this limited special dedicated to showing how bad Peri's condition is #and then just. not worry about his Not Dying Anymore moment
