Friendship is Card Games: Sunset's Backstage Pass! · 11:02am Jul 28th, 2019
This week, the MLP Time Loops become that much closer to canon, albeit with a much shorter loop time. Let’s get this rondo rolling.

Is this the weekend of airships or what? I’m certainly not complaining. Let’s cast off and take the tour.
This week, we look at the second half of the second FiM/Transformers crossover. To review, the Decepticons accidentally revived Sombra in a bit to steal Equestrian magic, and now he’s claiming all of Cybertron as his new kingdom… along with half of the Mane Six. Let’s see where it goes from here.
Yeesh. They aren’t pulling any punches, are they? This is indeed the final premiere of Friendship is Magic. Let’s see how we start the endgame.
And so we move on to the English manga, which should provide me with a few months’ worth of content properly spaced out. Let’s see how it opens
This should certainly be interesting. I’m not entirely sure what to expect from this part of My Little Pony’s ruby jubilee (along with the Bridlewoodstock special and… well, Ruby Jubilee,) but there’s certainly a lot to take in. Let’s begin.
Well, time to face facts on this one. For years, I’ve been saying that I’d revisit this story when Wizards revisited New Phyrexia. Now Vorinclex has barged into Kaldheim, and…
Well, at least I’m getting a card blog out of it.
This week, we look at a very accurate rendition of what would happen if you asked me to judge a fashion competition. Let’s face it, asking a big name in fashion to design you an outfit is a bit like asking a big-name architect to build you a house; it’ll look unbelievable—hopefully in a good way—but it won’t even pretend to be practical.
Of course, one can go too far in the other direction…
We turn once more to the official novels, and this time it’s a new author. Let’s see what the human world has to offer.
Okay, so I’m set to watch the episode, right? Knew it was a Rarity episode, some kind of shenanigans involving the rest of the Mane Six at some point, not much beyond that. This? This was not what I expected.
Ah, thank you.
What? No, I just ordered the pancakes because I can't digest, like, half of the menu. Hay. Human. Not a good mix. Don't worry, your expense account is safe with me. Where was I?
Right. Now, I’m not saying it was bad. I’m not sure what I expected, but this…
It’s time for the Shimmy-Glimmy Power Hour! Only, you know, it’s twenty-two minutes long and doesn’t have as much Tara Strong.
Speaking of hours, the Hour of Devastation prerelease was yesterday, so I threw together most of my review the night before. Time for a liveblog!
Goodness, it’s been almost two years since I last checked in on Trailblazer’s adventures. IDW putting out comics almost as quickly as I could review them will do that, especially given all of the G5 video media coming out concurrently.
We return to the cutthroat world of G5 roller derby, where Sunny’s trying her darndest to prove she’s more than just a casual skater… and has assembled one of the most ragtag teams of misfits this side of the Mighty Ducks in the process. Let’s see how the story’s developed from 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.
Happy Christmukkah! Aren’t lunar calendars fun?
Wherein a shy, well-built stallion tries to get the girl with the dubious help of three friends.
… Wait, haven’t we done this before?
Four tidbits for everyone, all below the fold. Don't worry, it generally positive.
This week, we discover the goal of the Crusaders’ next quest: Deeper characterization. Truly a saga worthy of being recounted for all time.
Well, this has certainly been a hectic week. I help host Thanksgiving, which means that this week has seen me chop, mince, crush, zest, sauté, and otherwise act as kitchen underling for my father. Good news is, I have a mountain of leftovers to enjoy.
