Twenty Episodes in Twenty Seconds

HOLY CRAP I'M ALIVE LET'S GET TO ALL THE SEASON FOUR I'VE NEGLECTED TO COVER BEFORE I HAVE A STROKE!

Daring Don't

Not much to say. Nice little action schtick and fangirling by Rainbow.

Flight to the Finish

I like all the CMC episodes, and this one is no different. I've always related to the bullying aspect, but I really liked Scootaloo's insecurity at being insulted. It felt realistic to me. I can't say I was ever that emotionally crippled by bullies, but my experiences have left me feeling insecure and generally inferior even to this day.

Power Ponies

It's a Spike episode. Other than the villain and the fanfiction-esque theme, nothing I thought was noteworthy.

Bats!

Fluttershy is going to kill somepony.

Other than that, let the Batman crossovers begin!

Rarity Takes Manehatten

I don't remember how the song went, but I remember liking it. A cute little romp that teaches kids that the fashion business is not for the soft.

Pinkie Apple Pie

May give a new dimension to Pinkiemac shipping, and finally gives us a valid excuse to start Applepie shipping.

Rainbow Falls

They need to do more with Rainbow's inner turmoil, because they have something really good going here. Although the fact that Roid Rage can fly is kinda spitting in Scootaloo's face.

Three's a Crowd

Loved it. Discord's mere existance raised the bar. It's nice to see he still has a dark side, but I really loved how Candence counter-trolled him by enjoying their escapade.

Pinkie Pride

F#ck yeah! Pinkie is funny. Weird Al is funny. Putting them together is another story entirely. I need to watch that again sometime.

Simple Ways

Rarity wearing jeans and a straw hat is hilarious. A bit silly at first, but once Rarity loses it and AJ starts trolling her, it gets funny fast.

Filli Vanilli

I love everything about this episode. I love the music, I love the jokes, I love the Pinkie, and I love feeling connected to these characters. You wouldn't know it today, but I once had horrible, crippling stage fright, and even today I'm still not over it. But most importantly, they kept Fluttershy in character by her not jumping on the chance to sing again and taking baby steps.

Twilight Time

Honestly, I don't know what to make of this episode. I don't feel like the CMC really changed at the end or learned anything substancial. In my opinion, it's the Crusader's low point, but not a terribly low low point.

It Ain't Easy Bein' Breezies

Nice to finally know what these bastards look like. I guess that's what happens to Scandanavians when they die. I liked the ending, though I fear some Rule 34 stemmed off of what Rainbow said.

Somepony to Watch Over Me

Should we attribute AJ's worriedness to sisterly love or a fear based on the death of her parents when they were home alone?

Maud Pie

I guess Blinkie and Inkie Pie were busy on the rock farm. The episode itself wasn't much, but I like the morals at the end: you can't force friendship to happen, and sometimes you have to do things you're not crazy about for someone that you are.

For Whom the Sweetie Bell Tolls

Not sure if there's any connection to the Metallica song, but I have always wanted to see ponies in G Major and Rarity go Lesson Zero.

Leap of Faith

Finally, a good Flim Flam Brothers episode, probably because we saw less of them.

Testing Testing 1, 2, 3

I'm not top of my class or anything, but I keep pretty polished grades. Many of my friends, however, do not. I can relate to at least knowing people who aren't Twilight level studiers. And once again, they have good things with Rainbow's inner turmoil.

Trade Ya!

This was boring. Other than possible shipping fuel, it didn't give us anything.

Inspiration Manifestation

It's official. My Little Pony has scared the living sh!t out of me.

So concludes my catch-up on season four. I have to wonder how long this show will actually go on for. Season five is official, will there be a season six or seven? Maybe another movie? Tune in every Saturday for the rest of your life to find out!

Vivat nox.
