They say that everything old is new again. Sometimes that's true, I think.

G5 - Where is Sunny's Mom?

Where, indeed, is Sunny's mother? We see Argyle, her dad, and the movie very strongly implies he's dead -- or has been missing for years, presumed dead -- but there's no sign of her mother anywhere.
Similarly, Sprout's mother Phyllis features prominently, but there's no sign of his father.

Dune - go see it

What the title says, basically. The new Dune movie is seriously good, and if you like Dune, or sweeping SF epics in general, you should go see it, preferably on the biggest screen you can. It's gorgeous! The movie follows the book much better than the Lynch film did, and lets the environment play a big role, as is fitting.

Just in case it needs to be said:

If you haven't already, go get vaccinated against Covid-19, ASAP. The vaccines are safe and they work.
Do not try any of the purported "cures" like hydroxichloroquin or, sigh, ivermectin.

In case it wasn't obvious yet...

No, I do not want Nazis in this fandom.
I don't want stories about cutesy Nazi OCs, who exist to give "ironic" cover to actual Nazis and racists, and to normalize Nazi presence in MLP fandom.

Oh Castle, my Castle · 5:17am Apr 12th, 2015

I really enjoyed this episode. This was exactly the kind of a thing -- a slice-of life that was funny, a bit silly, and had a lot of heart -- that we needed after the unexpectedly dark (but awesome! but dark!) season opening. Everyone, including Spike, had their moments to shine (or not, and there were a ton of nice little touches, like his Rarity plushie. Also, they've been doing Pinkie very right in these new episodes, if you ask me!

And, unlike some people, I'm glad they nixed the possibility of the treebrary coming back. One core element of the show has been, from the start, that you must change to grow; you don't have to leave your past behind, but you can't and shouldn't get stuck on it. Tying it into Twilight's new crystal treehouse and into her memories of all the good times in Ponyville was just about the best thing they could do.
