Cool episode. Yue seems to have some soft side too.^_^ It was funny to see Shaoran being so lost in his feelings and runing away from Yukito and then Sakura all the time xD But at least Yue cleared his confusion a bit and... it looks like Yue isn't realy as cold as he pretends to be:)

Aw, poor Shoaran, getting all flustered. What's he gonna do when he sees her all pretty with those wings? What a cute relationship they're developing!

Sakura could have just used "The Little" Card, and saved all that hassle. The wings were pretty cool though, but it's going to make flying with someone else harder.

I wonder when she'll notice that the blue haired kid was the last one to touch all the items that have been attacking them...or at least around them.

"syaoran you were never REALLY attracted to my alternate self, you were attracted to.... my magic! which you somehow sensed even though KERO didn't!!! such is the power of 'no homo', syaoran."

yyyyyyeah, sorry yue, but i'm calling bullshit on that excuse. i'm sure it's just a crappy deus ex machina to get syaoran out of liking two people at once (yue just... appearing? with no reason to? can he do that now?? AT A SCHOOL????), but if sakura doesn't get the same lecture when she starts moving on from her crush, i'm going to be sad. their crushes on yukito were nearly identical; syaoran downright COPIED sakura in trying to get yukito's attention. and didn't she say in an earlier episode that it was love at first sight? just like it was for syaoran??

basically, there's no reason why the kid with the gay crush should have his crush explained away, but the kid with the straight crush shouldn't. except homophobia, oops! for a show that seems to be pretty queer-friendly, this part really let me down.

It's really quite sad that the whole thing of the cards left space to "random objects of evil", I only started watching because of the magic cards. Not only to mention how the plot of the chapters is getting repetitive.

lol'd at such is the power of 'no homo'

I probably wouldn't go as far as calling it a duex es machina though
because in the same episode where Li and Sakura say that it was love at first sight there was also mention of those who have magic abilities feel an attraction towards others that also have magical abilities, so it's not like Yue's 'excuse'' came completely out of left field

but I do heavily agree with the:
"there's no reason why the kid with the gay crush should have his crush explained away while the kid with the straight crush shouldn't." part
I also felt letdown at that part because the series certainly did not handle it with as much grace as the rest of the relationships.

This part had me laughing a lot. This was the dumbest way to end a love triangle. This is dumber than the stories that end love triangles with a character dying.

Looks like they really have no clue what to do with the third season. It feels so forced and unneeded, badly written on top of it.

I don't want to come off as rude or anything, but I'd like to clarify some things first. I know this is really old though, but still I just want to say this xD

Fist of all; Neither Shaoran OR Sakura truly loved Yukito. BOTH of them were attracted to his magical powers in the first place (well, in Sakura's case, she truly did have a crush on him mainly because of his powers first, and also because of the "father figure" thing). Second of all. There's no such thing as "love at first sight". Love takes work and time, which is what happened to Shaoran and Sakura's relationship. By the way, Shaoran is like 10 years old. I think calling a 10 year old "gay", at such a young age with no experience of anything isn't right (i'm not saying that being gay is wrong AT ALL, i'm saying that, he's just way too young to be claimed "gay", "bisexual", or "straight"). And by the way, CLAMP doesnt give a single fuck about gender or age, if you had at least read some of CLAMP's works you should know that they support these kind of relationships. Tomoyo is a lesbian, and Yukito and Touya are OBVIOUSLY in a relationship, so how could you say that this is "homophobic"? Then the fact that Sakura was attracted to Mizuki cause of her powers must be some "homophobic" excuse too, right? Don't forget that the main theme in this anime is magic. Of course it doesn't have any logic at all, 'cause it's, hello, MAGIC ?? This episode is my least favourite of all though, because in the manga (you should totally read it btw its amazing) they explain all this WAY better, and WAY earlier.
http://mangafox.me/manga/cardcaptor_sakura/v06/c000/165.html

Shaoran's affection to both Yukito and Sakura are also very different.
With Yukito, it's admiration. His affection towards him is in a "Notice me senpai" way LOL. He offers him chocolates, he says compliments to him, and he praises him. Sort of an IDOL kind of way. Also, in episode 27 he says "people with the same kind of powers are attracted to eachother". He draws his powers from the moon, just like Yue, and he dislikes Kero's presence because he has sun powers (that may sound "silly" or whatever, but again, its magic we're talking about).
With Sakura, its very different. She confuses him a lot, that's why, when she smiles at him, he blushes and BEFORE he realised he loved her, he always shaked his head as if he was denying his love for her. He cares about her, but he denies that too. In a lot of episodes (30, 36, 37 & 38 come to mind), when he sees that she's sad, sick, or whatever, his mood changes completely. Has he EVER cared about Yukito in any sort of way? I don't think so. Love just grows stronger, while attraction fades over time (aka, what exactly happened to him in CCS). Let me point out as well that, Shaoran is completely tsundere, and tsundere characters, ALWAYS react the same way with the person they love the most. For example, in episode 37, when Shaoran sees Sakura sad: "I was a little worried about you *suddenly blushes* I-I thought maybe you found a clow card or something, that's all, okay?". However, with Yukito that didnt happen at all. Tsundere characters are supposed to be this way.
CLAMP also said in an interview that if Shaoran were a girl or simply was a bit older than her, they would've still ended up together.
Again, I dont wanna come off as rude (I've written WAY too much anyways haha) but I get kind of pissed off when people say the Yue thing was "an excuse" when it was implied from very early that this was the reason (specially in the manga). The scene in ep 51 was also way sweeter in the manga anyways http://mangafox.me/manga/cardcaptor_sakura/v08/c000/23.html

I can't say I'm not bummed that Shaoran liked Yukito due to the magic. I guess it's just rare to see younger kids portrayed to have feelings for the same gender? But Yukito and Toya are a couple, so I can't say it's a CLAMP thing. I still find it cute when Shaoran gets embarrassed when thinking of Sakura, tho.

I don't really care about the way that made sayoran not love yukito anymore, I'm just glad it's finally over. This love triangle was one of my least favorite things on this show. It's sakura's turn now.

This time too, even if there is only a little step forward in history. I wonder if the two teddy bears seen now, are those we will see in Sakura's room in the prologue, curious. Strange that Sakura is not so perspicacious and understands who is behind these events. Excellent these continuous changes of clothes and consequently of scenes from scratch each time, even if the drops in the quality of the drawings are sometimes noticed. The new Tomoyo camera reminds me of a very particular model that came out many years ago and was a real technological jewel, it seems to me that it was from Sharp or Sony, I do not remember it's been a sea of years.

Eriol once again shows that he's a no-good bastard who takes pleasure in throwing Sakura into situations where her own wellbeing and the safety of others goes straight out of the window. Testing her like that might make her grow as a magic user but it's very reckless.

I like how cute Li was when he tried to deny his feelings towards Sakura because he already had a committed crush towards Yukito. It's nice that Yue went ahead and cleared up the confusion by saying that his infatuation towards the guy was a result of his feminine magic moon powers and told him to just confess to the girl. Do it, Li, before that British tosser steals her away!

Well.. Sakura is beautiful in a way.. Matter of taste, of course.. I personally would agree with Shaoran in this..
Ok.. So why these things are even happening?.. Like now ruining the bear plush.. What for?.. What's the goal here?..

I think this anime focuses more on the shoujo aspect. But this episode has been one of the better fights in the series so far, at least for a normal episode.

I'm guessing the villains knowing what Sakura's magic circle looks like means that they've figured out how her magic works, and they'd use that to their advantage.

Wow, she converted two cards in one fight this time! She's definitely becoming stronger. That piece of paper she got should hopefully give her a clue.

Also, it seems that Yue is becoming a little more "human." Perhaps Yukito is rubbing off on him.

li’s gay love for an artificial physical form on legs was because of magic and not genuine love? Oh noooooo

both fell in love at first sight. Perfectly reasonable and consistent

I had a hint that Sakura and Li-kun's love for Yukito was because of the magic, now the path is open for they to fall in love!

I like how this season is less episodic, it feels more like a consistent story now.

li is bi i guess? also yue explains his blood boils at the sight of Yue because he is the moon. Why doesn't his blood boil with the kerochan?

now jump is useless since fly has given her wings. why did yue's attach nullify? why did yue's wing fall off?

how did sakura reincarnate 2 cards and use 3 cards and not pass out?

I wonder if Sakura also only loved Yukito because of magic powers. "Love at first sight" would certainly make you think so, similar to Kaho, who also drew power from the moon. Why didn't Syaoran also fall for Kaho? He knew something was up with her and warned Sakura about her, so I suppose Kaho's pull wasn't strong enough to fool Syaoran like that, whereas with Yukito he just fell for him without having a clue about the magic power hidden underneath like Sakura did. *shrug*

Oh no, Eriol just stole Sakura's first kiss.
Haha how did I know that Yamazaki would do something silly in that situation.
Syaoran, thinking of Sakura, all of a sudden Yukito shows up.
Ah so it's because of the moon, glad Yue explained it.
That ended up being quite the gift, a not so cuddly giant teddy bear.
