Somewhere in the USA. Probably older than you. And something about MLP:FIM makes me want to write stories. Unfortunately, being gainfully employed cuts into my writing time.

    Retrospective Review: Strong Seconds

    Not an episode review this time.

    PresentPerfect writes about the "Applejack Problem", that a character with everything figured out becomes too boring. Her cutie mark is literally deciding she wants to stay home.

    Retrospective Review: Putting Your Hoof Down and It's About Time

    S2E19 Putting Your Hoof Down

    Watching this episode as part of the whole series is jarring. You have episode after episode of ponies being kind and friendly, then a whole bunch of rude ponies all at once.

    I hate Angel Bunny in this episode. I want to turn him into hasenpfeffer.

    I'd like to know why there just happens to be a hedge maze somewhere near Ponyville.

    Retrospective Review: Hearts and Hooves Day and A Friend in Deed

    S2E17 Hearts and Hooves Day

    The writers have chosen, once again, to feature a holiday or celebration in this episode. Arguably, this is the seventh time (Summer Sun Celebration, Winter Wrap Up, Running of the Leaves, Grand Galloping Gala, Nightmare Night, Hearth's Warming, Hearts and Hooves Day), and the third time directly referencing a major American holiday.

    Retrospective Review: Baby Cakes and The Last Roundup

    S2E13 Baby Cakes

    So this was an episode that came completely out of the blue. There was no indication of Cup Cake being pregnant, let alone with twins. I'm assuming there was a toy involved.

    "That makes sense, right?" Sure, but if you're a pegasus stallion with a beige coat or a unicorn stallion with a yellow coat, I wouldn't recommend dining at Sugarcube Corner.

Looking for a name · 4:03pm Aug 9th, 2013

In Scootaloo's Family, Scootaloo's father is mentioned. He's an earth pony who works as an accountant for the railroad, and is about as interesting as that sounds.

I didn't name him. So what do you think would be a good name for this character?

Demand Curve? Feedback Loop? Rational Consumer? Dismal Science?

Ooh, I like that last one.

Strait Track. Even Grade. Furious Explosion (because irony). Steel Pencil. Superior Number. Clever Bit. Frugal Grape (or any other random fruit/vegtable).

Cash Flow, Red Ink, Double Entry (probably shouldn't use that one unless you like innuendo), Bookkeeper, Horn Rim (if he wears glasses)

"Turbo Tax" :rainbowlaugh:

...okay, maybe not. :facehoof:

Double Entry (as in the bookkeeping method)
Green Eyeshade
Balance Sheet
General Ledger

Sledge Hammer.

Penny Pincher? Line Item? Balanced Book? Dusty Ledger?

Comedy option: Flying Trapeze (his parents really wanted him to be a circus acrobat)

(Whatever his name ends up being, be sure to give him one of those green eyeshades old-timey accountants wear.)

Steaming Money, Hot Topic, Iron Bit, Penny Pincher, Earthly Heaven, Morgan Freepony, Amazing Mace, Electric Bill, Solar Money, Silver Penny, Copper Bit. If I think of more ill tell you.

I got nothing but seconding audit trail and turbo tax :rainbowlaugh:

Balance Sheet if you want to go with name reflecting what he does for a living.

Could be anything if not.
