I totally get what you're saying. I recently thought of a scenario where instead of what happened in Season 5, the girls would've gotten Harmonix, but without their tiara and wings. That way, at the end of their quest (whatever it'd be called as Sirenix doesn't exist in this instance), they'd be rewarded with their tiara, wings, and entrance to the Infinite Ocean.

The two transformations per season thing was, to me, an obvious way to sell more merchandise. It's not a bad thing, it's a business move - but it was really noticeable that this lives in the heart of the season rather than the plot (sometimes, not always). It's always about "powering up" now, not working with and perfecting what you've got. Did you notice that the Winx no longer need to learn their skills? They may not be in school anymore, but there's always more to learn, yet their powers come natural to them now, no matter how "powerful" or "ancient" the magic is.

That's why I liked the "Believix" arc so much: the girls noted is was difficult to control, and excelled at doing so over time. It's not like that anymore.

Again, may be my nostalgia talking, but who's doesn't anymore, you know?
