    Return of Valhalla

    Okay, I need to ramble a bit. Yesterday I was all nostalgic about Peter Madsen's works - more specifically his Danish comic series “Valhalla” that I grew up on. My Dad always been an enthusiast about our heritage as Danes, in particular the old stories and Myths about the old Nordic gods. And one faved medium to teach us these stories were through those comics, as the cartoonist behind them

The Horse Shoe-In - Episode Reaction · 1:00pm Jul 28th, 2019

Okay, final of the early releases I got access to. Just wanted to get through them to avoid spoilers, like the ones I couldn’t evade completely during early releases in the past that I didn’t had access to.

These release schedules, man.

Anyway, another one I get to go in blind. Let’s do it!

SPOILERS, duh


I feel called out and barely started the episode.

Oh gosh, their idle animation while Spike goes through the speech, too cute.

Soooo, it gonna be a Starlight freakout episode?

Trouble at home again, eh?

Trixie got a very good point there.

Ooooooooh boi...

Heh, “best pony”

Return of Spoiled Milk Rich! Can she run for vice-headmare on a bigger school, if already running the locale school board for the regular school?

Free labour, unpaid internship, i mean, valuable work experience!

Oh, come on Trixie, you were finally getting better and less grating on me...

Aww, and I worried they would abuse the dumb silent act of Big Mac many writers misused so long, by just him teaching a class with no word in a cringy way. This is nice.

Spoiled went as amount as expected. For somepony already running a school board, I don’t think she has any actual teaching experience, least of all with kids beyond scolding her daughter.

Really liking this Octavia, despite her appearance much less uptight than how fans often imagined her.

Awwwwwww

Even studious Gallus fell asleep in class. Not a good sign.

oh come oooon, Trixie...

I mean, Starlight still shows better stand on favourism than Twilight and Friends, considering their very connection to Twilight got them all sorts of jobs they weren’t necessarily qualified for in the past *CoughRoyalWeddingCOUGH* And still do, despite already having full careers going...

Aww, Octavia talking with the cuddle bugs.

Oh, Doc’s excitement is still adorable.

Aww, Gallus...

Oh dear, the hippogriff quibbling.

*Heavy sigh* ... yess, let’s just go back to pretend Big Mac can only say two words...

At least we get to see one leave with a dignified dismissal. Still a bother writers still insists on running the gag of Big Mac practically being a mute with communication issues, despite in the past shown to be plenty good to communicate. Of course he is a deep think who requires time to share his thoughts, as well as right time and place... so I’ll buy the issue being the parent in question’s too rushed and forward way of talking, that didn’t work well with Mac’s way of communicating. Okay, I’ll buy that.

FINALLY telling Trixie the facts.

Oh come OOOOON Trixie!!

Heh, smoke bomb.

Yas. Yaaaaas.

Aw, Doc, yer tried.

Okay, that IS kind of impressive, at least magic-wise when considering where Trixie started off from.

Oh dear..

Aaand there we have it. Being too soft until she blows up and hurt somepony. Of course Trixie gone done it herself too, being so darn tone deaf she even failed to hear what Starlight said already to her face.

Princess Twilight to the rescue.

I’m voting letting Trixie be the cafeteria lady.

Yes, obviously. But again, Trixie didn’t even make that easy, since she already decided what to think from the start. But yes.

Not Boxing it.

I still dig that sub plot with Gallus. I like one character isn’t from a regular family like everyone else, nor just quiet about any absent family like with Scootaloo’s family in ages because saying orphan was a dirty word on kids shows, until they finally made her a family last season run. Gallus stands out a bit more than way, being confirmed orphan and we get a taste of how different things run in Griffinstone whenever it’s brought up. While showing Gallus still being a great guy and a good friend, with ways to deal with his upbringing by enjoying what he has (fave scene from this season is still how darn easy it is for him to get permissions slips for everything).

... dang, you apply for a job you don’t even think you’ll have time for? Was this just a resume thing for some of the candidates? I mean, besides Spoiled.

I was about to ask about his Crystaller position. But yeah, really ever been shown as more than a glorified babysitting gig anyway?

Oh Trixie, best thing you said all episode.

Ooooooh, somepony gotta replace Starlight, riiiiight

Abrupt ending but on other hand, perfect cut scream gag XD

Not my fave episode nor most bored or least liked. Yeah, Trixie grated on me quite a bit, but not as bad as I feared. Ever since her return to the show as Starlight’s friend, she has found a great balance between her annoying self and the growth that made her more tolerable. It’s a mixed bag, I adore her more than I ever did in the past, her flaws just still causes unnecessary crisis at times.

Still, it was a well done episode for more character focus outside the Mane Six, which they done better and better with these last two seasons.

And works well to keep the momentum forward as we know things are going to change with Twilight’s ascension. So it’s nice to see those changes handled on-screen.

A cute, enjoyable show when you get past the grating parts. And nice to know Sunburst gonna have more reason to stick around Ponyville and his new friends, while not kept stuck in the Crystal Empire anymore.
