Now that I’ve returned from and thoroughly described Everfree Northwest, it’s time to make up for lost time. After all, keeping Luna waiting on the moon rarely ends well.
And so we bid adieu to the hiatus and hello to what may be an even more metareferential episode than “Slice of Life,” though with far less Derpy. Let’s dive in.
Happy Boxing Day! Needless to say, this one was prepped in advance. I appreciate all of you, but I’m not spending Christmas Day writing a card blog. Besides, who wants last minute gifts?
And so we come to the conclusion. Since the network’s treating this as one monolithic event, so shall I. Let’s see what’s left to be seen.
Hello all. Before I begin the back half of the Summertime Shorts, I must apologize for missing one of the better Easter eggs, not just in Equestria Girls but perhaps in all of G4: Sunset uses Mane ’n Tail shampoo.
Having atoned for that omission, I can begin this blog with a clean, silky, and full-bodied conscience.
This week’s entry presented an unfortunate challenge. Namely, there didn’t appear to be a name for the storyline as a whole. Each issue is identified, but there’s nothing for the whole arc... or so I thought. DannyJ gave me the information found here when the comics refused to. With that marked on the map, let’s set sail
This week, we return to Trailblazer and company as they explore the exotic land of Midgard. (No, it’s not an FF7 crossover.)
Well, this is awkward. I made an unfortunate assumption regarding the availability (and existence) of the Kindle edition of G. M. Berrow’s Daring Do trilogy, so I have to shuffle the schedule a bit. Let’s dip in to the last bit of G4 video with sufficient content for me to work with.
We go from modernity to antiquity, closing out the Berrow Daring Do trilogy. Let’s see what’s in store for the brave explorer this time.
When we last left the manga, Pinkie had tried just about everything to break out of a time loop, up to and including abducting Princess Celestia. Time to see what she hasn’t tried yet.
Chapter 2-5
Ah. Pinkie isn’t sure what’s left either. Though she’s still able to provide metahumor even in her lowest moments.
Going to split my focus between main issues and specials for a few weeks, especially since this special is a one-shot.
I admit, I don’t have high hopes for an episode that sounds like a six-year-old trying to insult Pipp’s business. But hey, I could be wrong. (I’m not sure if this is pessimistic optimism or optimistic pessimism.)
This week, we look at a relationship that’s part of Pinkie’s personal bedrock… and the fault line running right through it.
Curious title here. Alphabittle is more likely to be a groom than father of the bride… which would put Misty and Zipp in the fascinatingly awkward position of being step-sisters. But we’re sadly not getting that. Not yet anyway.
A midseason two-parter, eh? It’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see how it plays out for them.
Two bits of breaking news to take into account. Firstly, another round of Better Together shorts just came out on Discovery Family’s app, and an enterprising soul already has them on Dailymotion. That means it’s time for another round of human shenanigans, with the animators taking full advantage of those swimsuits they made for “Forgotten Friendship.”
Ahoy, mateys! It may be a bit late for Talk Like a Pirate Day, but after captaining Admiral Brass and crew to the top eight of me local prerelease, I be feeling saltier than a piece of hardtack soaked in sea spray. Now, let’s see what happens when a literal yellow-belly has to address a mate’s case of scurvy.
So, as I have come to understand, the main G5 IDW line has been replaced by/subsumed into a series of mini-series and one-shots that feels like the equivalent of a network trying to kill a show by bouncing it around the schedule. Hopefully I’m being paranoid there.
Ah, Trixie. The first of Twilight’s many foils, and the only example where the writers didn’t feel the need to emphasize that point by making her name a variant of Twilight’s own. Trixie wasn’t made to be Twilight’s equal and opposite. This episode underscores that uneven relationship by inverting it.
Bit of an awkward situation this week. It’s time for another main comic storyline… but the next two issues are one-shots. As such, as per the convention I’ve established for the spinoff lines, I’ll tackle both of them to ensure sufficient material. Let’s begin.
Kelpie issue
Yeah, even the wiki doesn’t have a title for this one. Though given how there’s very little verbiage in this issue, that’s actually kind of appropriate.
