I love the show but it needs to be less contradictory.
18 February 1999
I love the show but I find that it's really contradictory in a lot of aspects. It seems it's taken what I've known about fairies and flushed them. I've always thought that they were really nice, but the fairies in the show always put humans down. If they're so superior with their magic and gold couldn't they also show a little compassion? If I could go back in time I'd love to try and break through Fin Varra's callouses and show him that some humans can appreciate a fairy for more than just their magic and gold. I could love that man for just who he is. And what about those boundries? Faeries and humans aren't ideal together? Yet in one episode Fin Varra fell for Deidre and Aideen is in love with Rohan. Call me crazy but I think that's wonderful. I'd drink that whole spring to get Fin Varra to fall for me.

I'm 37 and have always believed in fairies. I think that boundries between humans and fairies are stupid! I'd love to see a human and a fairy get together and get rid of the boundries. It's almost making the show seem prejudicial. Somebody better do some changes. For something that's usually uplifting I've been crying for four days.

The newer episodes seem to be even more contradictory. In the episode where the fairy stones are going out of alignment because the dark forces are coming has a couple of contradictions. The King of Kells has to sit on the throne of Tir Na Nog and vice versa. Fin Varra knows what's coming and yet he wants to party. He's at a loss to tell the Mystic Knights to go out and defend the kingdom. Conchobar gets the little people together with the Mystic Knights and saves Tir Na Nog and yet at the end of the episode Fin Varra says boundries are there for a reason. Humans and little people aren't ideal together. Wasn't their being and working together what saved both kingdoms?

In another newer episode Rohan and Angus got mad at each other and Aideen tries to tell Angus a story but he doesn't want to hear it at that time. Aideen then says that "I'm sick of humans today". Shouldn't she have said that she'll come back later when he cools off? Is the show trying to give the audience the impression that fairies are spiteful and vain or should they be telling them that fairies can be understanding and kind?

I wish I could do the script for a week and put down what I've been going over in my imagination. I'd love to give it more of an uplifting message.
