** Taranee, Irma and Hay Lin match up well with their powers based on personality. Taranee is fairly timid and initially terrified of her power, Fire, which can be the most destructive element in the wrong hands. Irma lets her surroundings shape her but always keeps a core of her true self, much like how water changes shape based on its container but keeps its volume regardless. The energetic and imaginative Hay Lin is able to use her Air/Wind powers to their fullest.

* The ages of W.I.T.C.H. parallels the strength of their element: Will is the oldest and has the most powerful element. Cornelia is the second oldest and thus has the second most powerful element. Vice-versa with Irma, Taranee, and Hay Lin.

* In Z is for Zenith, I was already given a moment to swoon over [[JasonMarsden Matt]]'s sexy, enraged delivery of "Why can't they come back?!" when the girls have transformed into their elemental forms. Upon further consideration though, I realized that among other things, Matt's rage was entirely justified not only because his beloved girlfriend was turned into a corporeal mass of lightning along with her friends, but because the entire situation happened at Nerissa's suggestion. From her fantasy inside the crystal, it was clear she'd intended to once again use people, against their will to further her plans. Matt, who'd already been made a pawn in her schemes, was probably ready to tear the bitch a new one. Nerissa was pretty lucky she ended up trapped in that crystal after all.

* In the fourth arc of the comics [[spoiler: Phobos]] showed Will a future where her friends eventually left her because they were sick of hanging out with her. That was exactly what happened with her friends in Fadden Hills so that would be her biggest fear.

to:

* At face value the cartoon doesn't have the subplot about Will fearing to become like Nerissa. Then I remembered that at the end of the second season she proves herself a capable {{Chessmaster}} (that is, ''Nerissa's greatest strength''), but, differently from her, she enlists her friends' help for her manipulations.. That's why the cartoon lacks the subplot: Will got over that fear faster than in the comics, as her friendship with the other Guardians was deep enough she trusts them to stop her, while in the comic book she couldn't bring herself to trust them so much until with her confrontation with [[spoiler: [[GrandTheftMe Phobos in Endarno's body]]]] in the fourth story arc.

* In "J is for Jewel", Phobos referred to Hay Lin as the "weakest link". At first I though he was just being his usual {{Jerkass}} self and was attempting to [[BreakTheCutie crush Hay Lin's spirits]], but then I later on realized what he meant: Hay Lin is the Guardian of Air, and the element of air is considered the weakest of all five elements. So, that's what Phobos actually meant.

'''Julian:''' And a fine mother as well.\\
''*cue the two of them smiling at each other*''
** And then, in ''N is for Narcissist'', when Luba reveals that the Mage was not the Mage at all, there is a close-up to Julian's downcast face.

* Why didn't Cornelia object to Will being Elyon' s regent in "Q is for Quarry"? I was expecting her to say she was best suited because she was Elyon' s best friend. But, she made no remark or sarcastic expression at all. Why? Because she remembered her temporary power upgrade in "N is for Narcissist". She didn't say anything because she knew that it would probably sound hypocritical. And she was also hoping that Will might've also remembered the incident.



* Did Tony Vandom (in the cartoons) send his daughter a birthday card in the episode "Happy Birthday, Will"? Susan did reveal that he disappeared for months. So the possibility is there.

* It is somewhat ironic that the redhead Will Vandom is the leader of a group called WITCH. Back in the middle ages, redheads were often considered witches.



* In the comic the 'elemental' power of the Keeper originates from bonds, and manifests as energy blasts. It doesn't seem dangerous... Until you bring this notion to the logical extreme: the Keeper of the Heart has ''absolute power over the bonds of matter and energy''. With enough control she could produce a lot of gold out of thin air, disrupting world economy, produce weapon-grade uranium out of anything, make things explode, or make ''anything'' disappear! Thankfully Will doesn't seem inclined, even if she has realized it during the New Power arc... But Nerissa not only ''was'' inclined, she already ''did it to Cassidy''! All of sudden the utter terror everyone in Kandrakar had of her and the notion that its walls would be useless against Nerissa when they did hold back Will and her group make an horrible sense...

In the cartoon Phobos fell for Will's plan to make him lose the powers taken from Nerissa by having him swear on the Heart of Kandrakar to not use them for himself and then trick him into walking to Kandrakar in arms, but Cedric saw through it since the beginning. I was just surprised as anyone that Cedric had deduced ''exactly'' what Will's plan was, but then I realized: it's based on an oath. Something that Cedric is an expert of, being the resident ConsummateLiar (the comic book even called him 'The Prince of Lies' in more than one occasion) and a [[WickedCultured book lover]] and oaths are based on the words he's a master of. ''Of course'' he knew exactly what would happen if Phobos swore that oath!
* Phobos took a few moments before swearing that oath. He was ''relying on Cedric'' to warn him if there was any danger. Too bad that Cedric was already plotting against him...
