The Mudslugs: "almost to the point of parody, to be honest" Just like he's almost -but not quite- a parody of an over-the-top villain.
The Heart's ability to hack frequencies is convenient, but can still be seen as foreshadowing. They knew this type of thing was in the comics, so could very well have intended for it to be used later. I know we have Greg Wiseman's faq for things he might have done in season three, but I'd have really liked to see like a show bible, or an art of book since these tend to have this sort of background info.
Ghosts of Elyon
Confession time: There's a months-old cat pee stain in my closet. I couldn't find it when it was fresh and then I forgot because I keep the shoes I usually use under my bed for convenience. It's going to have to be cleaned by Christmas.
Otherwise, I have mixed feelings about this type of thing. I didn't exactly have this kind of tv childhood with these exact problems. My mom gets very angry and like she wants us to do stuff around the house sometimes, but we were never taught to do chores of any kind. In fact much of our childhood was spent in our grandmothers' houses even in the summer I think, and even when we started spending more time at home our grandmother and mother did the housework. It's still not expected for us to do anything. But if Will's mom asked me to clean up and only got angry if I then didn't, I'd understand.
Envying you having a full-time job by the way. I'm only two-and-a-half years younger than you and I live with my parents.
The Mogriffs:
Actually I remember the book being introduced earlier. It was in a scene of the bath where Cedric was holding it, and Phobos was telling him to put down what he was saying in it. And of course the plan is silly. It's just his ego in thinking that just putting it with books will be good enough (and apparently assuming his sister's not into reading or just forgetting about it). He should have at least thought of it after getting Elyon.
Anyway, I agree about Elyon. Though as I remember it, at some point she was trying to push them away hard because she was afraid they'd get in too much trouble with Phobos. But I don't remember when that scene is. She's still more sympathetic than in the comics, where she tries to kill them or drive them to despair. Dangers of extremist thinking, I guess? But Cornelia's story in these episodes really overshadowed the flaws for me, emotionally.
