I know they were trying to make fun of Yugioh and other card game anime, but did they really need to make it such an annoying drag? I just couldn't wait for the bloody episode to end, it was sooo boooring. The only thing worthwhile, and that made me actually pleased was spoiler[Cana summoning Gildarts and card Gildarts acting silly because Cana called him father. The guy hasn't shown his face since tne end of Tenrou island, and these boring fights were in dire need of some baddassery]. Hoping against all hopes that it doesn't become a waste of time.

spoiler[What to say?
This arc sure is a weird one.
Feels more like a bad joke.
It's like they gave us something to watch for the sake of watching it.
That dance battle was wrong in so many ways..
At least Gray had some nice moves, unlike Cancer.
Wish this arc would end soon.]

Okay, Gray's battle was the craziest in the series, and thus was supper funny.

Lets look at some examples of enemies that Gray has specifically had to fight: Juvia, Sugar Boy (both of them), and Cancer. All spoiler[of them apparently fall for him at the end.]

Great side attraction with Virgo spoiler[too tickling Lucy and get getting upset in thinking she is enjoying it]. Somehow that feels like same old relationship between those two where Lucy tries to deny Virgo in her strange thoughts or assumptions.

Man, I'm seriously considering dropping this thing, at least until they go back to canon stuff, none of the battles going on are remotely interesting at all. I was kind of hoping they would do something more interesting with Lucy's bond with her spirits, especially since the reward episode focused a lot on Aquarius's feelings for Lucy. But so far, the whole thing has been nothing but a joke (and not a particularly funny one), the only sort of serious stuff is whatever's going on with Loke's motivations and spoiler[the new door that I'm gonna guess belongs to Ophiucos [sp?]], the other spirits don't really seem to care about freedom or whatever. At this point I'm just using this week's episode as background sound while I write this post. I took a small peek when spoiler[Gray started dancing], but just... agh, could've at least tried to make him look cool, but it was so bleeping cheesy he's making UtaPri look like serious business. Also hyuk hyuk spoiler[Cancer is gay for Gray]. Spare me this misery please.

Lol, I think it's pretty easy to guess who spoiler[Levy said as her crush]. And finally, it's about time spoiler[Juvia fought her way against that spirit.]

The whole spoiler[nurse gimmick seems a bit odd this episode though. Still, if Natsu can't defeat that 13th spirit then he wouldn't stand a chance against Leo.]

spoiler[
The game show got heated up!
Levy finally won ^^
Lucy was in a pinch with Virgo.
The 13th spirit of Zodiac made an appearance.
She was pretty cruel & twisted too.
Aries vs Juvia in the desert!
That was fun ^^
A few more spirits are left to be defeated.]

Episode 212

Wait, so does mean that Ophiuchus is actually a really caring spirit? I did not really know all of this so I did some digging

Ophiuchus' key

Rod of Asclepius (the sign of medicine)

Apparently specifically according to Greek myth the snake is called Serpens, while Ophiuchus is a snake handler, who holds Serpens who also appears on the staff of Aesculapius who is the founder of medicine. A number of modern practices incorrectly uses Hermes' staff which has two snakes, which obviously you all know is the messenger god.

spoiler[This time: Erza vs Sagittarius! She was done fast.
Gemini were having fun with furry Fairy Tail members LOL
Looks like those twins turned everyone into animals.
Gajeel fixed the problem rather fast.
Lucy - Virgo situation still ongoing.
Dealing with celestial spirits is not gonna be that easy.]

The lack of any intelligent writing or minimal respect for the characters just adds insult to injury in my growing dislike and annoyance at the series. Hyuk, hyuk, Erza is "riding" Sagittarius, that's so naughty!. Who wrote this, a 12-year-old? For crying out loud. At this point I think this filler is giving Bleach's Soul Society Clone Invasion a run for its money in the "worst filler ever" category.

spoiler[Natsu vs Leo!
Only few more fights left.
Beating Leo wasn't easy.
He's the strongest of them all.
But nothing can beat Natsu's stubbornness.
It was a great fight to watch.
Lucy & Yukino's fights are pretty longish.
Guess it's not gonna be that easy to close Liberum.]

A bit of sad news. Bob Magruder, the English voice of Igneel and the narrator, passed away a few days ago:

He will be missed. Sad

Seems more like another build up episode for the boss fight spoiler[but I like the new OP song better than the previous. And it's about time Lucy fought back for good.]
