So, we finally get our royal sisters episode, seven seasons in. And just like "Celestial Advice", it's Starlight Glimmer who's the character of focus for the episode. Oh, and it's written by Joanna Lewis and Kristine Songco.

Having found a pitch corrected version on DailyMotion, I've decided to watch this episode. Naturally, if you're still waiting on the U.S. (or even Canada) airdate, well you know the drill:

So, we've got the first of three Equestria Girls episodic specials that were originally supposed to just be Netflix Exclusive (and probably were going to be until Discovery Family found out and threatened to break off their deal with Hasbro if they weren't allowed to air the shorts, to which I say Hasbro should've called Discovery's bluff, especially if they're the ones responsible for cutting out the end credits for "Forever Filly". That's even more insulting than Nick rushing the

Well, it's been almost a week, but I'm back and have finally seen the episode! For those of you who weren't aware, I was down in Mertyl Beach, South Carolina for a few days. It was nice, though the over 14 hour drive to and from there was not worth it. It had some attractions similar to what I saw last year in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg Tennesse (including a much harder escape room), and some new things including the big draw in the form of "Broadway on the Boardwalk" a giant boardwalk near

So, we're getting episodes airing out of order again, this time for the whole month of September. First up is this episode, which by the way is the first episode not to have any of the mane six, Spike, or the CMC, It's just Starlight, Trixie, and Thorax. Considering what happened the last time Starlight and Trixie were the focus of an episode (back during "All Bottled Up") things didn't go very well for them. While this episode was foreshadowed about two episodes ago, it had a lot to tackle.

Well, time to change gears and focus on the show again. We've got our first solo Twilight Sparkle episode since Season 5 and "What About Discord?" which quite frankly you'll forgive me for not wanting to remember it with how bad it was. We also have the major selling point of this marking the re-debut of Twilight's parents, Night Light and Twilight Velvet. The episode is penned by another new writer, Brittany Joe Flores, who I can't find any information on at the moment. Given the track record

Well, I figured my multi-year attempts to get the attention of hasbro and friends have all failed, and Starswirl was cast as a *gasp* unicorn.

I have absolutely nothing but vitriol and bitterness toward Hasbro and all parties involved in this EGREGIOUS ignorance to my fan-fiction.

As the title implies, I decided to watch the season’s remaining episodes. Last season’s finale got spoiled for me before I found out even through synopses what was going to happen, so I wanted to get a jump on it before it happened to me again. Everything below the break has heavy spoilers for the last episodes of the season, so unless you’ve watched them like me, I HIGHLY advise not clicking this blog if you don’t want spoilers. Those of you that have watched them, c'mon in.

It's later than usual, but better late than never. Anyway, going into this season is quite interesting because a lot has already been made known about it. Some episodes were even leaked without background audio, another had its ending revealed in a magazine, all 26 episodes have had their synopsis' released, and we know already that there's a Season 9 in the works. We also know that this seasons is going to attempt to be more overarching in its narrative, something that hasn't been attempted

...you will know what it’s like to lose.

To feel so desperately that you’re right, yet to fail all the same.

Dread it...

Run from it...

And so we come to the first (and perhaps only) Spike episode of the season. One of the biggest details about it was leaked months in advance, and this episode was among the leaked ones. Josh Haber was already revealed as this episode's writer, but despite being story editor for the season where Spike stopped being a butt monkey, he doesn't really have a track record for Spike focus episodes. Considering the track record for Spike episodes with him in the spotlight tend to be really weak for the

Well, it's been a while since my last blog post, almost six months to be exact. This time however my blog is about my story A wolfish Writer in Equestria, chapter 4. Chapter 4 is in the works as I type this. I don't know when it'll be done because I'm working on it right this moment. That said a few spoilers in chapter 4 we'll see more interaction with the main six, a bit more from Artemis aka nightmare moon, a little interaction with some of the CMC and of course Jake adds more scars to his

Season 8's been getting off to a strong start so far, but now we've got an episode penned by Josh Hamilton! You may remember last season that Hamilton's name was attached to duds like "Parental Glideance" (which gave us filler scenes we didn't need, instead of important scenes we did need), "Triple Threat" (which thought it could mask a "Spike Screws Up" episode with Spike being called by the map), and the episode that surpassed "The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000" as my least favorite

Yes yes, the title is definitely a surprising one for the show. Anyway, G. M. Berrow's writing this episode, and her track record for the show is... mixed to put lightly. "The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows" is the very definition of a fun episode even if there were some questionable moments towards the end, "Fluttershy Leans In" was just there for lack of a better term and the moral I still have mixed feelings on, and "Daring Done?" was great from a character standpoint but the story while great

With last week's episode debuting a new writer, this week's episode is following suit. Kaita Mpambara penned this episode, having previously written for stuff like Ultimate Spider-Man (Kevin and Chris used to write for it, and now write for the 2017 cartoon that is a much better product). With the focus being on Princess Celestia, who got a ton of development last season, and last week's episode being debatable in quality (from a character, moral, and visual perspective it was pretty

Well, let me start by saying you have to watch this episode, because you know what happens to people who don't watch this episode? You end up IN A FULL BODY WING AND HOOF CAST, DRINKING THROUGH A STRAW!

You don't like that? Well, WHOOPTY-DOODLE-DA!

China is at it again, this episode has aired earlier than was announced (it was supposed to come out today but it popped up yesterday). No word yet on whether or not that means the early airings are back on again or not. We also don't have official synopsis for the last four episodes, though there is a potential title for the 24th episode called "The Big Question" (considering "The Last Laugh" was originally referred to as "That's a Laugh" it's possible that's a working title). Anyway, this

In the back-to-back season premiere titled “The Beginning of the End,” Princess Celestia and Princess Luna decide to retire and hand off the ruling of Equestria to Twilight Sparkle and her friends, which sends Twilight into a tailspin of self-doubt.

I... Wha.. How that... So a bunch of random ponies who, in general, know nothing about how to run a country suddenly have all the reins? You know what, Hasbro and writers? F**k you. I don't even care anymore.

Now that I've finished many of my tests at school, I may be able to begin updating the series at a more rapid pace. At the same time as I've began to "wrap up" the current story arc, I've been mentally preparing ideas to write in the sequel to the series, "The Second War".

Here's a brief overview of what may be to come. (These ideas are still kinda in draft, but will still count as spoilers for the potential end of the first set of stories.)
