The Boomerang Reference was definitely a fan service moment. Something that fans just ate up when it happened. I was shouting at you two all the way up to him saying "boomerang" that you didn't get the reference untill it was explicitly stated haha.
The soulfang serpent is the same one referenced in the first episodes but Viren had a mutated one that had 2 heads. He was going to use it with dark magic to switch the Kings soul with another to escape the assassins.
The way you pronumnce the startouched elf's name is Ar-ra-vos. In the note King Harrow wrote to Callum he told him that the cube found at the Banther Lodge once belonged to Aaravos and is called the "Key of Aaravos". According to the letter, the Key of Aaravos unlocks something of importance in Xadia. It also said that Aaravos is a phenomenally powerful Archmage who can perform magic of all six Primal Sources. May have flown over your heads on that one.
One of the sketches at the end showed Callum holding a type of fruit drink in a very familiar pose...that another character made in another series when he drank it...and started hallucinating...IT'S THE QUENCHIEST! Get it?
Another reference that I'm not sure if you have noticed is Viren's staff. If you think about the flashback at the start of this season/book the human who went up against sol regem was using the same staff. Coincidence?
Finally, my suggestions for future cartoon series that are not too long are the Tangled Series (3 seasons of about 20 eps each), DC animated Justice League (4 seasons of approx 26 eps each) or Green lantern the animated series (1 season of a continuing story with 26 eps).
Keep it up guys, Tat knows I'm with her on the Viren train, Screeeeew Yooooouuuuu...get it, like chooooo chooooooo?
P.S. Tat, your Bait Portrait is on the way, and it may surprise you.

Totally agree, The Spectacular Spiderman is my favorite cartoon version of spiderman. A true shame Disney and Sony couldn't get along for the sake of this great show.

The Spectacular Spiderman is great, the only down side is that it was taken down before its time.

i agree with Tat, Viren deserves nothing but bad things and red flags.

Is it really so hard to write a neat and tidy romance that is satisfying to watch and only has the necessary amount of mellow drama?

my head canon is that Calum is a reincarnation of Sokka, Ezra is a reincarnation of Aang, and Rayla is a reincarnation of Yue. Also, (excluding Claudia)any redeeming qualities that Viren had died when he threw Soren under the bus.

Nix's soulfangs line is a call back to Indiana Jones fear of Snakes.

Rayla, Ezren and Bait, Callum, and Zym all have Funko Pops.

In a way, Sokka finally got his Moon Girl.
Also the first soldier to lay down their sword was the same one spared by Rayla at the start of the series. He keeps popping up here and there through out the series. I like to believe he'll end up repaying the favor before the series ends.
