Thoughts on the new episode (S5E5: "Princess Spike") · 8:57pm Jun 20th, 2015
Have I ever mentioned how much I hated Spike?
Because now that I think about it...yeah, I really hate Spike.
I mean, talk about a letdown. After last week's atom bomb extravaganza of an episode, I knew this one probably wasn't going to be anywhere near as satisfying. But...wow. This one really wasn't that good, and I blame Spike, of course.
Though I will say this: the ending scene where all the ponies put the statute back together was a pretty good scene. But of course, Spike had to fuck it up at the end. Again.
You are a thief of joy, Spike.
It's true. We've seen several times now that Spike can't be trusted. Granted, he's basically still just a kid, but something needs to be done.
Don't blame Spike
blame the writers
it's not Spike's fault that his character is wildly inconsistent and even though he's the perfect companion when the episode isn't focused on him, when the show turns it's spotlight on him he suddenly shit himself and collapses into a babbling mess
Spike wasn't an idiot. The other characters were.
