My Little Drug-Fueled Nightmare (no spoilers) · 4:02pm Jun 13th, 2015
What did I just watch?
That was the best worst episode of a television show ever.
I hate it so much.
I hate the writers.
They can no longer deny reading fanfiction, it's right fucking there in the denial.
Goddammit.

Fucking Gummy
Aw, Gummy is best philosopher. Also, we got a changeling, so there's that. :P
I think the entire fandom literally exploded twice or more during the Octavia and Vinyl Katamari romp through Ponyville scene. I died at Twilicane, then again at the humble fucking gator.
On an actual objective note, the episode tied itself together at the end better than I'd anticipated. Sometimes you just gotta cut loose and have some fun, and that's exactly what this episode was, with a nice little moral at the end too. I thoroughly liked it.
HAVE A CHANGELING.
Best episode 11/10
Larson just threw off his leash and went on a goddamn rampage full of sugar and pandas and not one single fuck was given.
I don't care what anyone says, secret agent Sweetie Drops is amazing.
I suddenly miss not being able to be in the Skype chat. You losing your shit must have been epic.
About what I expected. A couple of good jokes, but nothing I'm going to watch a second time. Trixie got bored at the first commercial break. I hope we don't have to do this again.
I enjoyed it, but there was zero hope of me being even remotely unbiased with this one. Derpy spoke. She spoke and she fixed a problem.

>Secret Agent Sweetie Drops
Didn't Blueshift or John Perry write this fanfic?
∞/10
That was glorious.
The random changeling was clearly just one of Cranky's friends from his years of traveling.

There's that Heartstrings comic where Bon Bon has an illegal lab under her house...
I mostly thought this was pretty good. And thank goodness, there's little in here to affect any of my stories. Just Vinyl and Octavia living together. And maybe the somewhat implied Derpy/Doctor shipping.
I understand why they do some of these jokes, but they're not the kind of things that are going to be funny more than once. Like the changeling inexplicably being there. There's got to be a story behind that, but we'll never get it. I rather liked their take on Doctor Whooves and very explicitly saying Lyra and Bon Bon are just friends. And that they took a clever (but common) track on explaining how Bon Bon can also have the name of Sweetie Drops. Derpy was great, and all the speaking lines! But she still doesn't get a name I guess. The Gummy bit was nice, but it was a little ambiguous as to whether those were actually his thoughts or just some external voice-over. Sparkler being an organizer? Who knew? If that's fanon, it's one I haven't seen before. Flower girls drama queens, yay! And Steven Magnet was great. The bench-sitting Lyra joke, and her sitting in her chair at the wedding with her legs crossed. Just a lot of cute things in there, and most of them were harmless and not too meta. I have to say, I did enjoy it a lot. Not impactful, really, but entertaining, and there were only one or two things I thought were dumb or counterproductive.
I don't care what anyone says, this episode was really fun.
Doctor Whooves with the scarf was the creme de la creme.

She was in the credits as "Muffins", which was also made evident about 2 weeks ago on the official MLP facebook page.
3145243
I realize that, but it's not the same thing as someone actually calling her or referring to her by name in the episode.
IT'S BEEN THE MOST GLORIOUS FUCKING THING I'VE EVER SEEN HOLY SHIT I CAN'T SAY WHAT WAS BETTER -- GUMMY, BONBON/LYRA, CELESTIA/LUNA, STEVEN MAGNET, OR THE ENTIRE OCTAVIA/VINYL SCENE BUT FOR SOME REASON I CAN'T STOP SCREAMING ABOUT THIS.
Shame they never said "Beear" and went with "bugbear" tho.
3144952
I watch these on my lonesome, sir! :B

Derpy got her name during Last Roundup. It's on the DVDs, it's canon. >:V
It was quite weird.
15 seconds of Pure Alligator Wisdom made that whole episode worthwhile.
Tis it truly the first time thou hast experienced "one thousand years of death" on yon interwebs?

Well, "Bugbear" is a reference to a Dungeons and Dragons monster by the same name. I remember them looking a mite different:

...But I like the show's interpretation a bit better anyway.

holy fuck where have you been @_@
I've always thought it'd be awesome to be a fly on the wall while the writers work out an episode's premise and major plot points. In this one's case… my eyes probably would've been watering in all that smoke
There was a terrible noise, a sound like millions of headcanons crying out in terror, before suddenly being silenced. D:
Also, Button is a canon pony now btw :V
Grab your umbrellas, the downpour of defiant Lyrabon shipfics is coming.
I think that placing the rating of this one to the side was a very honorable move on your part, Present.
Now I only have to wait until next week for them to truck out my favorite character to get his annual whacking with the Idiot Stick. I think I'll wait on watching it until I see your review. I'll scroll down to the bottom first and if it isn't in the top 50% I'll
ragequite the fandombe very disappointed.3146553
Button was always canon, where do you think he came from?
3147401
I just wish Fimfiction could columns :(
3147448
If wishes were horses...
3146553
Button was in Hearts and Hooves Day during the perfect stallion song.
3146213
Having a massive existential crisis, seasonal depression, and diminished interest in the fandom.
Also playing JRPGs and binging on Naruto fanfic takes up a lot of time.
I'd rate it 10/10... but your hate makes it even better: 11/10.
3147809
The last part is just silly.
I hope your other crises are resolving themselves well, though. :B It's nice to see you again.
3148238
Weeeell, I haven't decided if I hate hate it yet, give it time. :V

Tanks dood.
I enjoyed it, but I don't yet know if it was ironically or sincerely. My favorite part was Derpy's voice, because it reminds me of the landlady from Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Big improvement from both versions of voice in "The Last Roundup."

I was actually very happy with Derpy's new voice.
