Lynked is pretty princess. · 4:44pm Feb 18th, 2013
A Magic Miracle Cure...
[Beautiful Artwork Skills]
It was a one-of-a-kind episode. So unique, it almost... almost... burned my eyes out! It was a good idea, sure. But! It was absolutely terrible! So, in light of the recent episode, Lynked has decided that she is pretty princess.
Let's start things off right wrong! The new episode had a great premise, and a good idea, with in interesting story to tell. The new episode was also a blunder. Did anyone else feel a little violated by the end? It felt like the Train Wreck Explorers had compiled their findings into an archaeology anthology!
From the top! The episode went by about as fast as a train did, too. Oh? What's that? There's a problem! *Gasp* That's never happened before! Nah, I'm lying. Anytime a show starts off with a "Life is Great!" song, you know that there's a
What's more, did you know that your friends are absolute idiots? Surely just because someone tatooed rainbow on Rarity's butt must make her need to be a weather pony, instead of continuing to look for her niche! Especially when you only get a cutie mark for your special talent which is obviously weather, even though you've said that you're terrible at it.
[Har Har, Weather]
But wait, Twilight, remember that thing that wasn't important until now! You know, the one where the Princess sent you a book of the most powerful unicorn in history, a book that was probably filled with the most powerful and amazing spells in existence? Yeah, that one that you forgot about because: why not? But it's okay, because you know what would fix it?
Correct! Way to go! You just solved everyone's problems right at the beginning of the episode by completing a spell with the word friendship, something that apparently the most ingenious and awe-striking unicorn didn't have in his thesaurus! Wow! You know what, I, Pretty Princess Lynked have spoken to Celestia, and we decided that this was a perfect opportunity to temporarily murder you advance you to a new plane of existence that has no back-story whatsoever! Look! Friendship has made you a princess now! You know why?
[Do I really have to say it?]
So now you have wings! What will you do with them? Harvest Draw forth Shining's "liquid pride"? (You know he wasn't talking about his tears, right...?) Well either way, you're a princess now! All of that, what could have been three episodes, in one! With no real conclusion too! Wow, such a grade-A quality thing we have here.
No. Wait, actually, no we don't. That was so rushed, I could feel my brain being crushed under the g-force. Also, we now know that the Mane-6 are all idiots for not understanding that they can just do whatever they feel like. And cutie marks? Not canon now, filly! When a cutie mark is supposed to be derived from a "special talent" and yet here, it wasn't, and they still did their thing, despite knowing they were bad at it, is a little destructive to the whole idea. Oh, and the elements make Alicorns? A perfect way to cheapskate your way out of something deeper and more intrinsic, as was set up at the beginning of the season. Nope, screw a cool adventure, or something with some sort of depth, or even a drawing out of the "big problem" that was supposed to be her test. Nah, just *poof* wings. You're immortal now, destined to live forever with no purpose in a bleak existence in which Celestia refuses to give you a choice. But it's okay, because you fixed a problem that proves that Starswirl the Beared was a retarded hermit! Congratulations on absolutely nothing at all.
tl;dr
The episode sucked.
In light of this, I propose supporting Pretty Princess Lynked in the establishment of the New Lynked Republic, to overthrow the Celestial trolling and establish a better show for all! Down with Celestia trollentry! Up with Lynked!

Once again, it pains me to agree, but it seems many of the best writers I know are all unhappy for the same reasons I am.
... hehehehehe.
Dear Pretty Princess Lynked,
I too was let down by the episode. I thought of a really good explanation for the cutie mark thing... but I forgot (DON'T BEAT ME maybe just a little). It makes me think of children who do what there parents tell them, even if they aren't good at it or like it.
I could probably think up more smart sounding words to put, but I need to get back to working.
I will gladly stand by your side in your fight against tyranny, if you would have me.
Your (hopefully) faithful subject,
Syvvak.
P.S Pretty Princess Lynked is Best Princess
I forget if this guy felt the same way about the Discord episode, 'cos that was a piece of shit for the same reasons, if you ask me. Yet somehow I actually enjoyed the episode when I probably shouldn't have.
LONG LIVE PRINCESS LYNKED!! DOWN WITH THE SOLAR QUEEN!
Soooooooooo...
Are you our supreme overlord, evil dictator, or benevolent mistress ?
the logo does look good
I completely agree. This episode was terribly rushed into a montage of musicals.
Also I absolutely hate musicals, I can stand a song or two in the show but those seven songs made me want to throw my laptop at the wall to stop their singing!
Although I saw only one amazing thing in there:

Hint on the bridge.
I believe there is more just couldn't find em.
Eh, sure it was rushed, but I still did enjoy it. I think they did alright with what they had. Should have been a two-parter though.
843410 843052 Together we shall overthrow the Celestia Trollentry! Lynked for Overlord.
843295 There was an... abundance of songs, and for it being such a short episode. Although... is that a derp I see?
Dreams=True.
843374 I honestly think that if it had been a two-part thing, I would've enjoyed it much more than as it was. As it stands, it was too fast. I think that the episode Just for Sidekicks shouldn't have been added, and that would've made room to give the finale two parts. Maybe that's just me
843083 That depends on how sexy you all are
843011 Good! A powerful ally indeed!
842966 I only beat those who are strapped down tight
Now join the republic! We shall establish the New Lynked Republic together, Lynked, for
allmainly me!843436 That'd be okay with me. I'd rather lose Spike at your Service than Just for Sidekicks. That episode was horrible, and Just for Sidekicks is the only (somewhat) decent episode the poor lil' guy has got in a long time.
843444
YES, MILADY!! I SHALL DO AS THOU COMMANDS!!!
Thanks a lot. Now every time I get into the "best princess" argument on Skype, I say you... that kinda sounds a bit creepy.
843709 Feel no shame! We shall rule all soon! For the New Lynked Republic, for Pretty Princess Lynked!

I'd say the republic currently ranks between moderately to extremely sexy.
Looks like the general consensus is down with the solar queen.
What of her mysterious lunar counterpart ?

I thought the episode was fantastic, definitely in the top three to five for me. And as far as feeling rushed goes, I disagree, I wouldn't have minded a two part episode here, but as it was it worked.
I think they messedup the cutiemark thing anyway. Rarity's was basically mining, Rainbow Dash's is FLYING/racing, Pinkie's is Parties, not laughter.
About the Cutie marks. You're forgetting that the way cutie marks are supposed to work is that they do mark your talent. Also their memories were altered. It's like suddenly being a doctor, with your diploma on the wall, memories of always being good at your job, yet you hate the sight of blood and have jittery hands. In context listening to their cutie marks is actually a perfectly logical thing to do because that is the way the world should work in the ponyverse. Which also makes that spell bucking terrifying.
846875 I didn't realise we had a set of rules for the inner workings of the ponyverse, but if I could get a copy of the book, I'd appreciate it. As well, Rarity explicitly said she knew she was, and had been, terrible; that she had never done it right before. Therefore, she could never have, by logic, gotten that cutie mark naturally. Any hint of logic should have said, "Wow, I've always been bad at this? Something's up." So... there's my rebutle
I don't feel like I'm forgetting anything.
844041 Well I respectfully disagree. I find this to be the worst episode to air, but hey, more power to you
843877 She shall come soon... soon...
(I haven't gotten that far! Running an Empire is hard, you know.) However, despite the lack of future plans, our current standing seems to be at 98% sexy. All that sexy is assured to bring down Celestia Trollentry!
843894 Now all I need is a seal of approval...
846931
I'm on it... seriously.
846930
Wonderful.
I'll work on the last 2% sexy.
846927 I'm basing it off everything the show has shown on on cutie marks. We have six stories of how getting a cutie mark works, and a scattering of other details throughout the rest of the series. Though I still can't figure out exactly what AJ's is other than having something to do with apple farming. As to Rarity, yes if she actually had time to think about it she would have realized something is up, but she had less than a day, despite what her memories tell her. That does raise the question of why she had memories of her failing up to that point, but this episode is a little shaky all around.
Screw you, Nyxan alliance FTW!
I really enjoyed this post. It has the effort put into it that I could just not muster for my own rant about the episode. I justified this laziness by by deluding myself into thinking a rant would be giving the episode more attention than it deserved. But it did suck, terribly so, even one of my pegasistas texted me something along the lines of "WTF! BBQ!" after she saw it.
