I can't help but imagine that these two must have some deep history together

6. What did you think of Zhan Tiri as the big bad? 

I loved her, honestly?? I was on board with ‘the Enchanted Girl is ZT’ theory from the beginning, and I love that her style as a villain relies on manipulation. Her weird gremlin vibes are also just so incredible for the BIG BAD of the series. She hisses at people and scutters around and eats grapes and it’s glorious

Tara Fitzgerald’s voice… swoooon. The tiny snippet of backstory we got with her and Demanitus was incredibly intriguing, I wish we’d learned more. Low-key shipping them now. Dezhanitus? Demanitiri? That said… oh man her final form was NOT the monster wife I was expecting.

10. What is a minor change that you would make to the canon? 

I would’ve had Hector attack Cassandra at the beginning of the S3 midseason, while she’s at the Great Tree. She could very narrowly defeat him with her new powers, but it’d be clear he’s still a threat. Maybe imply that he’s going to seek out Adira after, and then they’ll both be trying to take her down. It would’ve given the two of them a role that made sense in S3 and smoothed out a lot of the questions with the Mind Trap as a plot device.

11. What is a major change (rewrite) that you would make to the canon?

Cassandra NOT being Gothel’s daughter. I’m classifying this as a major change because it was a big plot point and reveal? But honestly I don’t think it would’ve changed anything in the story- she just didn’t need it as a motivation. There were so many other, better reasons for her to turn villainous.
