So, I just finished catching up. good to see that there's a live discussion of fairy-tail.
didn't dig much the timeskip, felt that it didn't serve any purpose (besides giving the new weapon time to be built and charged) and mostly screwed up the ages for me.

Also, I don't know if it's been suggested or not, but is it possible that the bad dragon (Ontologica?) is actually rouge\shadow turned dragon in some sort of time loop?
