This week, we take a look at the first of the early bird episodes. Suitably enough, the head of the flock is a Fluttershy episode. In some ways, it is the Fluttershy episode, and an appropriate subject for my five hundredth blog.

...that's Powered by the Apocalypse. It's a goodly part Lord of the Rings, a good part Friendship is Magic, and a huge part Generation 1.

I have hired an artist to illustrate the iconic champions! She goes by Lillayfran and she's amazing. She also has several commission slots available, if anyone is interested...

I've recently started playing a new game of Pokémon Y and would like to have others to play with; whether to trade or battle. I'm mostly a casual player, so I don't get crazy about breeding for IVs, shinies, or other stuff. I play the game just to enjoy it, but sometimes it gets really boring if there's no one else to play with.

Here's my FC: 1392-6101-4494

Loads of salt. A load of it. I don't normally cover 4chan news, but honestly this is so fucking great. Thank you stallmen for the point.

Hi guys, I'm looking for someone who has a good impersonation as Twilight Sparkle and Starlight Glimmer to do the voices for my MLP Wolf3D Mod, Twilight: Escape from Stalliongrad. A game that takes place in an alternate version of the Season 5 episodes: The Cutie Map part 1 and 2. Where Twilight was taken to an underground dungeon, and to escape its horrors and to take down Starlight Glimmer!

Voices Needed for:

Twilight Sparkle: None selected yet
Starlight Glimmer: None selected yet

It just occurred to me that I've never given out a proper thanks to all of my followers. From my first to my most recent, I just want to give my sincerest forms of gratitude to each and every one of you over this last year. But since I can't physically buy you a pizza or high five you from my computer, I'll settle for the next best thing. A mushy thank you speech dedicated to those who I felt have been the most help over the year. Get ready, it's gonna get a little slippery

Warning: Spoilers abound. Proceed with caution.

I find myself once again unable to talk about just one thing with this episode. I've been anticipating this ever since Games Ponies Play, and it did not disappoint. So, let's go through the list:

1. Back when Magic Duel came out, I made a joke about making a drinking game out of the number of callbacks in the episode. If you tried that with this episode, you'd probably end up plastered halfway through.

Happy Easter Fool’s Day! I suppose this involves trying to convince people you’ve discovered the Easter Bunny and hope they don’t notice you’ve put rabbit ears on a platypus. Not that that has anything to do with the episode; just reminding you to put even less trust in what you read on the Internet than usual today.

Yes we know, Rebecca Black. You've only told us about a million times, JEEZ!

Incidentally, the next chapter of GaM is ready, and will be up tomorrow for all of your reading pleasure. So get your reading glasses cleaned!

Technically speaking, the hiatus doesn’t end until the start of August, but Discovery Family saw fit to give us a taste of things to come. And it apparently tastes like Seussian bagpipes and bleeding ears. Let’s take it from the top.

Wherein the Bearers of Harmony face off against one of their greatest adversaries: Cheap, off-brand knockoffs.

So after four movies, some shorts, and even a few bloopers, where do our girls go from here? Well I have some ideas...

She is totally hilarious. Just watch the Friendship Games Preview 6.

Here is all of them:

Wherein we see why Wisdom shouldn’t be your dump stat, especially not if you’re a wizard.

This week’s forecast: A drama front is sweeping into central Equestria, escalating minor conflicts and bringing long-simmering issues to a boil. Everyone is advised to stay as far from Castle Canterlot as possible. Maybe visit Ponyville for a while. It’s not like the Bearers will be—

Breaking news, I have some words to eat.

One of the hazards of posting reaction blogs shortly after the episode is that they capture volatile opinions that may mellow over time and rewatching the episode. “28 Pranks Later” is a lot better on the second watch, when you know how long scenes will last when before they seemed interminable. (I’m looking at you, Pernicious Prank Polka.) At leafst, that’s how it felt for me.

1. Next weekend (yeah, I'm missing my self-imposed biweekly update schedule. Boo, hiss.) there will be three small chapters posted. It's a weird thing to do, but there are cliffhangers and pretty severe mood swings that all feel like they would trip over each other if everything was put in one chapter. One's done but I don't really feel like posting it now, because it's Equestria-based silliness and I'm kinda at the point where I'm ready to make the mood a bit more cereal.

Well, this is bittersweet. May well be the last time I ever watch Discovery Family. Pony’s pretty much the only reason I watch TV anymore. Or was, anyway.

But enough gloom. We have perhaps the last bit of televised G4 animation to cover, and cover it I shall.

We reach the halfway point of the Legends of Magic series by covering the last two remembered Pillars (as opposed to Stygian, Pillar of Logistics. Thanks, Shadow Lock.) Let’s begin.
