Chaos Thoughts - Stranger Than Fan Fiction.

I know I said no more blogs till the ninth of August but it's a thoughts blog so I figured I could bend my own rules a slight. This is my thoughts on Season6, Episode 13 - Stranger than Fan Fiction.

So like every other episode this season, I find myself again, unimpressed and annoyed more than I should be. Season six has thus far done nothing but made watching an episode a chore and I find myself re watching the first episode of season one because I still personally think that's the best episode out of the whole show.

The basic summary of this episode is that Rainbow Dash attend a Daring Doo con. She's in awe at what she see's and offered a flyer to an adventure-cation which she turns down, and while inspecting a prop trap set up, she bumps into a pony called, Quibble Pants, and I do not care for this character at all. He pretty much annoys me, he's arrogant, he's a know it all and I didn't like him but he does help drive the lesson, one I learned years too late but early enough that it doesn't start trouble anymore. He and Rainbow Dash get along at first but when differences arise over the first and second series of Daring Doo books, they quarrel for a bit and separate.

Rainbow Dash is determined to prove that everything in the new series of Daring Doo books is real to this upstart but ends up helping Daring spy on Caballeron who's after a stone. So Rainbow and Quibble get caught, he doesn't believe anything they find a temple, Daring saves them they get the stone and then the message comes in: It's okay to have an opinion!

Sorry to emphasis it like that. That's the message I got out of this episode, Dr. Wolf will likely have a better idea of what the episode is about, actually ya'll should check out Dr. Wolfs review on the episode, he basically says the things I should be saying.

In the end, I didn't like Quibble, Caballeron is great to see. The jokes are funny (by the way, have any of you seen The Killing Joke? I hear it's great. ) and there's no Ahuizoatal (I butchered the name, sorry) which is a first for Daring Doo. Could it be he got axed between book series?

in the end, the episode feels like filler, I could fit it into the current story arc of Naruto and even then no one could tell the difference. I haven't enjoyed this season very much and I doubt I'll see an episode that actually grabs me, except, maybe, that changeling episode that's coming up. I really want to see that.

Before I post, I just want to say that I hope season seven, if any, is better than what's on right now. I'm not dropping the fandom or the show, but I'm not enjoying the new season as much as I enjoyed season five, even then that season had a few episodes I didn't like.

I'm happy people have enjoyed the episode if they did or are enjoying the season, I'm genuinely happy that people are still enjoying the show, though I am admittedly upset that people are leaving the fandom. But in the end, the cards must fall where they may.
