A Trivial Pursuit - Episode Reaction · 3:53pm Jul 21st, 2019
I think this’ll be the last early release episode for today, still plenty left but yeah. Anyone can get overload, both me watching and how much you guys can care to read my reaction posts right after each other.
Again, rushing in on these to avoid spoilers slipping through, I have no clue what this one gonna be about. Just how I like it.
So let’s do this!
SPOILERS on board
Ridiculous sleep wear never seen before just to spell out it sleep time hours since not enough windows in the castle to show it dark.
Twilight got a sleep shirt now.
Wait, that’s not just an old worn t-shirt re-purposed for sleep wear... That’s a Vinyl Scratch shirt! XD
Oh Twilight.
OOooooh, Sunburst. Twilight gonna get actual competition now??
Heh, horse noise.
Oh Fluttershy~
Aww, they hoof holding outside wedlock. Such sinners.
And there we got the impossible long scroll to go with her chart. All is well, the universe stays in balance.
Digging Granny’s bowtie. Very stylish for the occasion. Bowties are too.
AppleDash confirmed canon.
The writers flipping the birdie at the people still not shipping MaudBriar.
Heh, the balloons had me gigglesnorting.
All these team names giving me so many ship vibes this episode XD
Huh, score keeping broke Starlight?
Iiiiiii had a feeling Pinkie was gonna go that direction...
Woah, but if Pinkie worked so hard to sit so still through that many rounds allowing the other teams to score that many points, how is Expert On Every Written Subject Twilight still only on 3 points?? What happened in all those other rounds???
... is there a rule on how many times or what order each team member is allowed to answer a question? Twilight clearly knew the answer, and if she’s really that much more worked up about winning or losing why suddenly risk this much stress from trying to let Pinkie get that win?
Okay, so she really was just trying to let Pinkie be part of the team effort despite her own stress. Oh, okay, I can buy that after all.
Might be one of Pinkie’s most disturbing eat animation, second to the giant mousse moose from early seasons.
Twilight gonna be nagging on technicalities to try and win only made worse by her choice on pronunciation.
“Nice try..”
Okay, I can appreciate her earlier efforts to keep Pinkie as part of the team effort better now, yikes.
Twilight screaming Bananas out of context in that state is very amusing to me and I’m expecting a fan remix of it.
Oh no..
Team Eggheads.
Was gonna think they would be perfect team, but yeah, too far out of the zone for anything to work at this point.
TASTE YOUR OWN MEDICINE, TWI!
Wow, double dipping there on giving Twi a taste of her own medicine, wow.
Pinkie is on point there XD
Well... out of the three in a row episodes I watched today, this one is my least favourite. I don’t hate it, just kinda feels... pointless. I dunno. Didn’t speak much to me and the morale was easy to tell from before the intro plays as Twilight is already in full Twilighting mode. It’s put on thick like with Rainbow in the earlier episode, but I feel less forgiving about Twilight’s behaviour in this. Especially with the repeat of it just to let Twilight taste it herself from another source.
Just didn’t felt right with their character in the show to behave like that now.
A few laughs, interesting concept going for it, with a good way for call backs. But execution leaves me feeling lacking.
And the supposed joke about the harsh conditions of keeping score never paid off... that was just weird.
Oh well. Not horrible just... didn’t speak to me as the two other episodes I just watched.
