God, This Episode was Confusing · 7:06pm Jan 18th, 2014

Yep, I'm saying it now: Worst episode of Season 4. Silver lining: That rainbow flash actually means something! Yaaaaaaay.

Thank you for that youtube link!

I have to disagree with you...extremely. :ajbemused: IMO Daring Don't remains to be the worst episode of Season 4 (even though I did enjoy certain aspects of it). I really liked this episode and I didn't see anything confusing about it.

There's a number of goofs in the episode... Lemon Hearts appearing as an alicorn at 5:23, Helia being credited as Blossomforth, and stuff like that, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The Academy continuity was heavily lampshaded (although if Spitfire is always so impressed with Rainbow Dash, why isn't Dash a Wonderbolt yet? Did she flunk the second half of the Academy or something?).

Derpy. Oh, Derpy. I was concerned that they'd do exactly what they did, but they actually made it work without her saying a word other than the usual background group cheering/agreement. Loved every second of her adorable mug on the screen.

I don't think there has been a "bad" episode all season, but I'd agree with
1731588 that Daring Don't came close, and even that one was full of win.

Oh, and watch for Bon Bon and Lyra on the bench in a role reversal!

I wonder what exactly was confusing about it, as the plot was very straightforward and well executed, if a bit obvious. Or perhaps you're just fucking with us. :trollestia:

I agree, the episode was eh, second best Episode ever though. :derpytongue2:

Was his name seriously Bulge Biceps?

1732036

Wish they went with Snowflake :raritydespair:

The voice sounded a bit off for Sno- I mean Buff Biceps. :trixieshiftright:

1732056 Is there some fandom thing with naming roided out stallions with tiny wings Snowflake that I'm missing? It keeps popping up for some reason.

Picture from Pinkie Apple Pie (the one hung on the wall at the end) = Key
Rainbow Thread from Rarity takes Manehattan = Key
The Wonderbolt's symbol given to Rainbow Dash = Key
3/6 Keys found.

y did berry punch have wings

1732063 is this this going be a thing? Instead of "find Derpy" we're gonna have "spot the alicorn?"

Hey, at least Derpy showed up in the episode. Twice, in fact. She does a flyby when we first see the training camp in the upper left hand of the screen. :pinkiesmile:

That rainbow flash actually means something! Yaaaaaaay.

Was there ever any doubt of that? :rainbowhuh:

1732036
Bulk Biceps. At least it wasn't Punch Rockgroin.

1732132
No rainbow sheen on the picture. My guess is that Pinkie's going to get her key next week.

1732180
Well, they've gone on record saying Derpy was intentionally kept out of the background in earlier episodes to emphasize her triumphant return today, so hopefully not.

1732167 Animation error?

1732180

I hadn't heard about the Neon Lights one in Rarity Takes Manehattan until a minute ago...

1732249 an error seems more like they did it just to have more flyers n the episode at least thats what i think lol :twilightsmile:

Why did the Ponywill team have only the weakest flyer's, and Rainbow Dash?
was every other Pegaside in pony will otherwise occupied?
I just can't see Fluttershy volunteer fore this, so I assume there was no other chois, and so she agreed for Rainbow Dash's sake.

and if so would it relay mean that mouth to Fluttershy and Bulk Biceps if they didn't qualified, if they where only there, because the team couldn't get anyone better?

1732056
Why not both? Snowflake could be his nickname, heck it could be something his mom calls him.:ajsmug:

1732411 Snowflake is his name, he just wants everypony to call him Bulk Biceps since the roids made Hugecock Nutkicker inaccurate.

1732385

Beginning of the episode showed the other pegasi were on other event teams. Rainbow probably got lazy and didn't sign up until the last minute, so she was stuck with relay, and had to pressure Fluttershy to join the team so it could compete.

OK you say worst episode?
Reasons?
Here is the real
worst episode of the season

I have given reasons. :scootangel:

seriously, i'm not seeing how the rainbow sheen thing is explained like you say it is meme. the closest thing i could think of it being explained is that it's a deus ex machina.

also, don't see how with ALL OF THE OTHER WONDERBOLTS THAT WERE POSSIBLY AVAILABLE why they went didn't have one or a few other racers as back up just in case.

side note: doesn't fleet foot kind of sound like tommy from rugrats? she kind of did to me.

Meme didnt like this episode, I love this episode. Big fucking whoop. We all like and dislike different things, people need to shut up and let Meme not like this if he wants to.

1731653 1731748 1732385 1734109 1733444

And, to add more confusion to this episode, I like to point out something that people may had forgotten: what has happened to Bulk Biceps' flying? Over the course of the episode, he seemed to have a hard time flying with his tiny wings that not only limit his air time, but also how fast he can go. He has been screen flying before where he can perform just as well as any other pegasi.

When you look at "Hurricane Fluttershy", you see him being able to fly with his peers without any difficulty. Below is a small part of the episode where he flies in the background when making the tornado.

True, while it makes him somewhat relatable with Fluttershy for sharing poor flying performances, but you have to consider previous occurrences where he didn't have this condition in the other episode.

Just something to think about.

ARE YOU KIDDING? I LOVED IT!
