We may be in an intraseasonal hiatus, but there’s still a week’s worth of animation for me to review before going back to the comics. The Equestria Girls shorts never stopped being a thing. Indeed, they’ve been a thing for long enough that even Hasbro’s sluggish YouTube release schedule has almost caught up to this article. Let’s get started.
After the Dominaria prerelease, it feels appropriate to have an episode focused on people returning home after a long absence. Of course, not everyone has that same sense of history and nostalgia. Let’s see how this pans out, and hope there’s nothing that anyone can peg on Belzenlok, King of Storms, Spirit of Chaos, Enslaver of the North, etc.
Appropriately enough for an episode with a B plot, this week is an FiCG double feature! Click here for the previous installment, a card blog featuring concepts from the Triptych Continuum. Or read on for further exploration of the SS Sugarmac
Be advised, there may be a new episode coming this Friday at 2 PM. It’s clear that Discovery Family’s “Summer Surprises” is code for “lol what’s regular, predictable scheduling.” On a similar note, today’s comic took me off-guard during my scheduling.
A day late, but hopefully not a dollar short. Let’s make this last card blog of the intraseasonal hiatus worth the wait.
We interrupt my Zeno-Achillean efforts to catch up to IDW’s tortoise to take a look at some of the Equestria Girls shorts that have gone up recently. I held back on these because I like being able to provide links to the source material for those who haven’t seen them, and Hasbro has been slow-rolling the YouTube releases to get more people on the Discovery GO app. Thank goodness for Dailymotion.
Hello, all. I'm deviating from the main series this week to at least start the other comic lines; the first issues of both the single-character-focused micro-series and the two-character-focused Friends Forever line. Let's see where this takes us.
Happy Christmaween! (Nightmare Warming? Sounds like psychotropic climate change.) I though this was going to be the “ia” of Season 8’s “Welcome Princess Celest,” but it’s a full-fledged hour-long special. Let’s dig into the out-of-seasonal cheer.
Would you look at that. We’re actually getting some comics in this hiatus. Only one blog’s worth, since there’s an EqG special airing next week, but we still have time to look into Pinkie and Rainbow Dash wreaking havoc in their own particular ways, along with Toni “Pencils” Kuusito’s premiere as an official comic artist.
Sorry for the slight delay; I didn't have the time to prepare this batch ahead of time.
Seeing this episode again brought a lot of interesting information to light. For example, when Applejack was showing her lasso skills, where exactly was that apple tree? Also, Rarity speaks in the third pony immediately before the famous "It. Is. On." I'm not sure if she was subtly mocking Trixie, or if that's just a unicorn thing.
Another week’s worth of EqG shorts to look into, and this week, it’s all about that music festival we’ll be hearing more about in two weeks (assuming you haven’t already watched that special, because American release times are just a suggestion.) Let’s tune in.
Given the time slot, I suppose this is less Freaky Friday and more Surreal Saturday. Either way, it raises some concerning questions regarding Equestrian wildlife.
Another contest in the books means another blog to commemorate all the entries. Let’s see how it all fares. See here for an easy-to-parse list of what inspired what. And remember, names have to match exactly for the “legend rule” to apply, so self paradoxes are easy in Magic.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Let’s see how much luck Stygian has with assembling the superteam of pony antiquity.
“Oh FoME!” you cry. “Who is BEST AT PONIES?”
Well, that’s really a matter of opinion, but I can certainly tell you who claims to be. And he has strong evidence on his side.
Bringing this up now since I'll be heading out tomorrow morning, but the next card blog will be delayed.
You see, I'm going to go play cards in Vegas this weekend.
Back in the saddle, and just in time to get out, get a sleeping bag, and have some snacks.
We move to the back half of this wave of G5 content, which in this case means the comics. With the Discord arc concluded, let’s see if that ends up having any bearing on future issues.
I was going to do the 2016 annual this week… but it doesn’t appear to exist. Bit of a problem. In the spirit of an alternate version of me having one to work with, let’s look at the MLP editions of IDW’s recent Elseworlds events.
Hey, this isn’t the first time I’ve reworked the blog title. And if the studio’s going to milk this generation for all it’s worth, it’s only right that I return the favor.
