    Where I've Been

    Wow... it's been a while.

    So... yeah. Where have I been? I've been at home. And I didn't realize it until this weekend, but I've been pretty unhappy since this whole mess with the pandemic began.

    My Little Pony: A New Generation

    Well, the last month has been a nightmare of overtime and fixing up my house, but today I managed to see the premiere of G5.

    Look Before Your Sleep

    Well, here we are. Another inevitable episode about these different ponies who had little in common now having to put up with each other after having a mutual friend in Twilight. I can picture this already having happened between Rarity and Rainbow Dash, having learned to live with each other after having a mutual friend in Fluttershy.

    Where I've Been

    Yeah... I'll bet you're wondering about my absence lately. I swear I didn't mean to take one.

    Until the pandemic actually ends (and I mean ends, not just when everything opens back up) I'm going to be working overtime. I'm hoping it's coming to an end, but there is still mandatory hours for June.

    I have a lot in the pipes, and I will still rereview the series. Just... please be patient.

The End in Friend rambles! · 10:05pm Oct 2nd, 2018

Well, this was an episode that I was looking forward to. Rarity and Rainbow Dash spend so little time interacting that it's good to mix them up. And they really seem like two opposites, not even having the childhood friendship Rainbow had with Fluttershy, so this should prove to be interesting.

Rarity and Rainbow Dash have been shown to spend time together in the detective episode whose name escapes me, but one-on-one time is rare. Starlight's initial efforts were clever, but even their shared love of books falls through.

I saw the ending coming a mile away, but what the hell, it works.

I have friends that are very different from me, but we still have fun together, so this episode resonated well with me. Good episode.

Yeah, most people are too harsh on this episode. It is fun so it works.

Also, the detective episode you are thinking of is titled Rarity Investigates.

4947171 If it were harmless fun that would be fine, but the episode devotes a lot of its run time to having Rarity and Rainbow Dash argue and fight and it's just not very entertaining when we've already had tons of conflict episodes this season. Plus, the arguing is one sided since Rainbow Dash ends up looking good all the time. The third act is when the episode starts to get good and I really wish that had been the focus from the start.

When they started arguing over whether Daring Do or the mystery book was more realistic, it reminded me of when my friend and I argue over the Last Jedi.

While not the best episode, it was nice to get some more interactions between Rainbow Dash and Rarity. The very fact that they've had so little meaningful moments together was a big part of things, which I think was kind of clever. And while Twilight and Starlight tricking them into working together was pretty sneaky, at least it helped them appreciate each other again.
