So. When I put this on the schedule, I thought it would just be a single special, like Winter Wishday. I wasn’t expecting Make Your Mark Season 2 to come with it. As such, it’s looking like a G5 summer. Let’s get this party started.

My adherence to the Old Ways continues (by which I mean treating a Netflix content dump like the episodes are coming out weekly.) Let’s see what new wonders and horrors, if any, await.

Oh. Right. Sunny Starscout. The mare who reunited the tribes and ascended to holographic alicornhood (which is like normal alicornhood, but only shows up in Collector Boosters.) She should probably get a focus episode at some point this season.

It’s another clash of Hasbro’s titans, and I’m throwing a third into the mix. (Given the upcoming D&D crossover set, it’s only appropriate.) This time, we change up the setting; it’s ponies on Cybertron.

If we’re going in strict chronological order of release, I should’ve gone for Camp Bighoof before Endless Summer, but it is what it is. Let’s see what I missed out on last time, while also chipping away at the main line backlog.

Despite the leaks, we here at Wizards of the Foam are dedicated to the originally intended release schedule. As such, we will not be using any information from the Ixalan rare sheet that was—

Wait, what?

Pony leaks from Australia? Seriously?

Well, the same policy stands. I’ll get to those when they air in the States, just like today's subject, which aired early in Poland. Let’s look at the latest dispatch from the technicolor ape world.

So. Funny story about this week. The original plan was for the most recent G5 IDW issue and the first issue of Classics Reimagined: The Unicorn of Odd… but it turns out the former is the first half of a two-parter. I don’t like the idea of going over two incomplete stories, and without either second part currently available, that means we turn to the next part of the G4 backlog… which is a Berrow chapter book.

Heads up: Next week marks the premiere of Pony Life on Discovery Family… possibly. I’m getting contradictory signals from the TV listings.

Yes, we’re actually doing this. I know I said one week’s content wasn’t enough, but then I actually gave it a shot. Strap in, folks; this one’s gonna get weird.

Ah, Gilda. Love her or hate her, she was the only griffin* on the show until "MMMMystery on the Friendship Express," the one point from which we had to extrapolate an entire species's culture. She didn't exactly make the best first impression. Of course, if you were surrounded by delicious, delicious creatures who society said you couldn't eat, you'd probably be on edge too.

Funny story: This past Wednesday, exactly ten days before the finale, my driving-to-work music drive played Europe’s The Final Countdown.

I am not emotionally prepared to say goodbye to Equestria, and this episode did not help.

You thought Spike’s first date would be with a pony…

Unsurprisingly, this episode is devoid of cancer patients and amputees. Instead, we have a nasty case of species dysphoria to address.

And so, after a logistical hiccup, we come to the final bits of G4 animation I have left in the backlog. Let’s see if we can send it off on a high note.

With persistence and courage, I return largely triumphant from the tournament grounds of Eldraine. Let’s take a look at what three young squire-steeds are up to.

And so we cover the back half of a most unexpected crossover. Let’s see what can be seen.

So. The next issue of the comic came out literally a week after the end of the Homecoming arc. At this point, I’m starting to think they’re deliberately taunting me. Why can’t IDW meet the same professional standards of regularity as many webcomics?

But for now, we’re wrapping up the Flash Sentry Papers.

Ten years of card games. And friendship. Quite the milestone. And just in time for the last wave of Make Your Mark content, which…

… Huh. Well.

Oh, hey, it's Sunday.
...
Oh. Hey. It's Sunday.

Sorry. I guess I associate card blogs with watching pony. That may take a bit of time to decouple. Still, better late than never, right?

Huh. You’d think the episodes about stealing cutie marks would’ve covered Starlight’s secrets. Let’s see what else we can pin on Old Equestria’s Handicapper General. Maybe it’s time travel!
