Unfortunately, I have not been able to religiously follow ETHERIA. But I do like what I have seen so far. Some notes, comments, suggestions and whatnots about the show:
Empress Schuck as Cassiopea is by far the best performer… can she not grow up to be Cindy Kurleto na lang??? 
I love Francine Prieto as Avria, she’s strong and maldita but also vulnerable 
Bagay rin si Alessandra as Andora. It’s only the second time (first time was in Hubog) I saw Alex na di palaban ang character. And it suits her. But I d miss the pasaway and palaban na Alex. I hope she becomes enraged soon and she becomes evil with an evil laugh.
Paolo Paraiso does not carry the Animus character well. Important pa naman si Animus. Pag magkasama sila ni Alex, kinakain ni Alex si Paolo. BOOO!
Diba sabi sa character bio ni Aquil sa igma.tv na brother siya ng reyna ng lireo??? The queens are Cassiopea and Mine-a pero bakit sa Etheria parang wala ito sa storyline?
The young Pirena is good, very good. And not irritating like the young Amihan. I really, really, really want to like Amihan, kaya lang the actresses who play her are just damn irritating.
Meanwhile, the young Danaya and the young Alena are adorable. CUTE!
Angel Aquino is a perfect fit as Bathalumang Ether. However, the person who sometimes takes over as the voice of the snake Ether is icky. Di bagay, obvious na di si Angel.
BJ Forbes as the young Aquil is a good casting choice.
And Alfred Vargas as Amarro gives a good opportunity for Vargas to tackle a role that is sooo unlike his Aquil role.
Nadine Samonte still turns in a weak performace as Mine-a. She lacks the regal presence required of her character. In fairness to Nadine, she was good at expressing her anger towards Memen.
Jopay Paguia as Juvila lacks grace. Parang di siya Heran. Although one could argue that the chracter is made that way, I don’t buy it. Kasi si Pauleen as Odessa who’s also some sort of warrior, has an air of grace and finesse.
Ping Medina as the young Hagorn is simply flawless. He fits the role to a T. Meanwhile, Dennis Trillo as Raquim is doing fine but he has to push himself harder para di siya palaging naaagawan ng eksena. Para siyang wallflower kung minsan.
At bakit parang si Amihan na lang palagi ang bida at importante??? Si Danaya na ang reyna, dapat lang na mas may exposure, lines and storyline siya.
Tirso “Pip” Cruz III as Barkus is scary as hell!!! Even more scary than the Hathors.
Cousins Sid Lucero as the young Asval and Ryan Eigenmann as Marvus manage to give strong and note-worthy performaces. ‘STIG!
There are hints that Justin Cuyugan’s Arkrey and Amihan are somehow going to hook up wiht each other. Pwede wag na lang??? Less Amihan please.
Please, please, please reveal the identities of Alena and Danaya’s fathers. I beg the powers that be….
The special effects are same old stuff from Encantadia. Nothing new really. I was hoping, it would be better this time around…
The costumes are better though. Pero sana, tanggalin na yung billowy stuff sa damit ni Juvila, kakaasar kasi.
The story??? ASTIG!!! Wala nang tatalo… magulo pero love ko pa rin!!! Smart Dapat magka-award or special citation ang writers nito pati ng Encan.

Yup, Etheria’s really great. And, don’t worry, you’ll find out who Alena and Danaya’s father is when the series ends. Happy watching! ^^

Encan 3 is ending soon. I admit that encantadia 3 (pag-ibig hanggang wakas) is not as good as the first one (The first encantadia). I just don’t get it. Why end everything this fast? Alam kong ang baba ng rating but why do this? It only show/prove that GMA made another ‘big’ mistake. Wrong move nanaman ba? I can stilll remember Etheria. Almost 2 months lang tumagal yung show. And I’m pretty sure na hindi pa yon umabot ng 2 months. -_-” tsk.. ‘STIG na sana yung love-tandem ni Asval and Piran. Tsk
I don’t know… basta I know they’re scared. Bunch’a scaredy-cats… but what can I do. Encan 3 is the worst TV-fantaserya ever. Ekkk… the costumes are fine but– Jackie Rice’s acting is the worst—ever! Marky Cielo’s—kinda okay… but still not good.
@jackie: Stop the sobbing! It freaks me out. -_-!
@sanggre: It’s not ecuu re deo, it’s e corre diu. ^_^ peace!

And by the way, can GMA put or add another love-tandem on their list? I have said it before (in my previews post), it’s the uhm— Sid Lucero and Sunshine Dizon love-tandem. They’re so cute together… kakakilig. I’m sure hindi lang ako ang nasiyahan sa performance nila.
I can still recall the scene sa Etheria (middle of the war between the diwatas, sapirians and etherians) when Asval (Sid) kissed Pirena’s (Sunshine) cheek. It was so cute. ^_^ kilig talaga.. hehehe.
To tell you guys frankly, I’m still watching encantadia is because i’m still hoping na idadagdag niyo ulit si Asval (sid) sa encan so may pagasa pa si Pirena and Asval maging.. you know.. hehehe
Sid lucer is a good actor just like his old man. And I think GMA should really grab the chance… ayt?

tina, personal attacks against empress schuck is therefore, irrelevant.
comment everything relevant in this topic but not personal…even the most below-the-belt ones. should you wish to attack her then do it in shoutbox.
regarding etheria, this series really rocks! magulo siya and complicated pero ang values na ini-impart niya sa viewers hindi pa rin nawawala…same old encantadia…same spirit. just like enca, their costumes are of high quality plus special fx (not as edgy as panday), setting interior. kabuwisit lang nung tinapat sa only you…you know what i mean…
pero mas naaapreciate ko pa siya than counterparts
