Entry #50- Heartsome Healing · 7:06pm Jun 2nd, 2018
Hey everypony! I know I’m behind with a lot of things (like Season 8 of MLP, the pony asks on my Tumblr and the next chapter of The Secret of the Crystal Ponies), but I’ve writing out my thoughts on the rest of Season 7 this weekend so that at least that will be done.
This week I’ll talk about A Health of Information! I really liked this episode overall. Hayseed Swamp had some great designs and colorful inhabitants I enjoyed. Fluttershy’s caring side overcame her shyness, and we saw Zecora again! The joke about her being too sick to rhyme was great.
Mage Meadowbrook is a wonderful pony, too. It’s great to see alternate way to do magic without a unicorn horn, and I liked how she shared similarities to Fluttershy (like knowledge of animals and kindness) without being a copy.
The idea of a pony turning into a tree is pretty dark if you think about it, but still manages to be kid friendly. Also, Fluttershy’s stare not working on the bees is a good way of upping the ante of the story’s problem. It makes sense to me that insects of a hive mind wouldn’t have a concept of fear that the stare may cause. Just keep attacking until the problem goes.
I think that’s all I have to say on the subject. You’ll hear from me next week!
