Who in Canada thought it was a good idea to air two new episodes a week? I think little kids can wait a week for a new episode--I know I survived a week between each new episode of (insert favorite childhood show here). And now the Internet has taken advantage of this schedule, and I gotta watch the episodes so I don't have to worry about spoilers... and post thoughts on them, because it's a thing I'm doing now.

Decided to post this closer to the US airdate so that I don't burn myself out on 2 episodes a week (though Canada's now just airing reruns and we've got a mid-season hiatus thing now...). My Memorial Day celebration was done yesterday, so I'm pretty much doing things as normal at work and home today.

Welp, guess I better get this one over with... I was putting this one off for a bit... I wasn't exactly looking forward to this one...

*learns that The Washouts are a group of pegasi* Oh, come on! Does every daredevil have to be a pegasus? I'd love to see an earth pony--or heck, maybe even a unicorn--that does stunts. Like a canon version of Olive except an adult professional and not a teenager with attitude.

And so... after five seasons, Lightning Dust has returned.

I am currently aching from running a Dirty Dash today, have been making some final small preparations for my family's California trip and hoping I don't end up forgetting anything, and here I am deciding to jump in with quick thoughts on today's episode, given that I won't be able to give myself a few days to chew on it. So...

Oh, joy, we're looking at SugarMac again. Yippee.

But, hey, maybe if giving Maud Pie a boyfriend made her more tolerable for me, maybe this episode could give us some development on Sugar Belle and show us why she and Big Mac like each other and what the real foundation of their relationship is instead of providing cheap lip service and presenting them as a generic couple that like each other because... reasons that the fandom has to work on themselves.

Some more quick thoughts on the latest episode. I may make this a recurring series of blog posts throughout Season 8, but we’ll see. As always, mild spoilers.

• I liked the episode. Mud Briar was almost universally unlikable as a character from start to finish, but it's pretty obvious that's what they were going for, and the writers pulled it off really well.

Can I just pretend that this episode is just a bad fan fiction and is therefore non-canon?

Well, here we are, the eve before the next episode because I procrastinated putting my thoughts up on last week's episode. To be fair, when I wasn't doing real life stuff, I was busy churning out the next chapter of Brotherly Bonding Time, which only turned out to be, oh, over 11,000 words long!

Well, since I'm about to take a weekend trip, I might as well give you this before I forget.

Heh, here's the episode I got to watch at the convention!

Well, for a good while I've certainly doubted that making Daring Do real was a good idea--even if Stranger than Fan Fiction is one of my favorite episodes.

So, after my piece on Season 1 and the wonderful lack of commentary on it, I shall now go onward to Season 2 and things I thought about each episode. They're not necessarily reviews, I don't consider myself a good critic, but just random opinions and likely focusing on random stuff in each piece. Some may match up with popular opinion and some might be different.

Here we go!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The Scootaorphan meme is dead! It's dead, it's dead, it's dead!

I always hated that fanon, and I'm glad it's been officially jossed.

Wow, 200 episodes? I don't think anyone ever anticipated that the show would come this far.

I swear, that title makes me think of Tony the Tiger.

No one expected the hiatus between Seasons 5 and 6 to be so short, but it was. So, after the divisive finale that made the infamous Starlight Glimmer a regular character, how was Season 6 going to handle the change in status quo? Well, we'll see what I personally thought of it.

Well, had a crazy week, so I ended up forgetting to do the Rockhoof episode until it was too late. So... double feature.

So, I've been thinking that since Season Nine is due in a couple of weeks and is the last one, I suppose we should go back and visit my opinions of seasons past (barring 7 and 8, since I did those). I've been watching the show since 2011, and I only joined this site and the fandom in 2014 because a certain episode gave me inspiration (we'll cover that later), so, why shouldn't I? I mean, it's only fair that I give my thoughts on every episode of the show, even if they're short.
