Well, since my local Battle for Zendikar prerelease was pushed to today, I had a chance to look at this episode yesterday. Huzzah!
If you were expecting “The Crystal Empire,” you’ll find it here. If you were expecting “Too Many Pinkie Pies,” you can find that here. No, this week we’re going straight to Babs Seed’s introduction.
Well, this is a bit awkward. This week, we cover every issue of the main MLP comic line I haven’t reviewed yet. All two of them. Don’t worry, I have a plan after this, especially given the existence of the MLP manga. (Yes, that’s a thing.)
For now, time for Achilles to catch up to one of the tortoises. Which is awfully suitable given the subject matter. Let's roll away.
Okay, now we return to the comics. Specifically for the first two issues of what they’re optimistically calling Season 10. Which are actually the first half of a four-part storyline. Still, this promises to have a lot to work with. Time for Zecora backstory.
A bit late given EFNW, but I can now cover the latest check-in with the Equestrian chapter of the Legion of Doom.
Well, this has been an eventful day. I was able to slip in between Hasbro purges and catch the movie, so let's get this out while it's still technically Sunday.
Sunnytember continues as we take a look at what the comics have been up to. When last we left that instance of Maretime Bay, Discord had emerged from the depths of antiquity and the ruins of Canterlot, seeking to save ponies from themselves by eliminating magic. We will, of course, immediately follow up on such a major plot development.
… Won’t we?
It may seem like nothing's happening with G5 content given the glacial pace at which it’s coming out, but it is accruing, slowly but surely. As proof of that, we begin a two-week block of the Starscout Era.
We conclude the comic catchup with the main line and the last two issues of the Milkyway Incident. When last we left the royal sisters, they’d dragged both Pipp’s reputation and the palace through mud. (Well, the mud went through the palace.) Let’s see how this gets cleaned up.
This week, we have Rarity faced with a seemingly irreconcilable dilemma between her artistic desires and economic realities that threatens to crush her dreams.
This week, it's that classic mainstay of mid-century comedy, the man in a dress. And you know what? I thought it worked. Not because it was a stallion in a dress, but... well read on to find out. It'll be in the thicker paragraphs.
The midseason hiatus has begun, and so I turn back the clock to the oldest episode I haven’t done yet in this, my 250th blog. As a reminder, everything else can be accessed from the FiCG index page, which is always available from my user page. Now, let’s get assertive
Wherein Scootaloo decides it’s long past time she made some puberty-grade bad decisions.
This week, we begin our look into a grand epic of madness, mayhem, and historical revisionism. And I do mean “begin.” With no more seasons to pad things out, Achilles is in danger of overtaking the tortoise, and a four-part—technically five-part; #75’s double-sized—series with Andy Price’s art definitely has enough material for two blogs. Let’s start stargazing.
My upcoming card blog schedule is going to be a bit muddled in the coming weeks since I'm heading to Everfree Northwest just in time for enough G5 content to aggregate to the point of reviewability. (Yes, the "kinks" in the blog title refer to unexpected changes to my plans. You should be ashamed of yourself. 
) As such, here's what to expect in the near future of FiCG:
This week, we turn to the last one-shot issues of the IDW comic. The final three will draw Season 10 to a close. Let’s see if the prelude goes out on a high note.
I’ve been in this fandom for a long time. About a third of my life at this point (which is its own breed of terror to herald the start of Spooky Season.) And in a few months, I’ll be celebrating ten years of Friendship is Card Games. According to tradition, that’s the tin or aluminum anniversary.
And now you have context for the contest’s subtitle.
This week, we have an untitled exploration of metafiction. Seriously, even the FiM wiki doesn’t have a title for these issues, so a placeholder it is. Maybe the bookworm ate it. Appropriate for Thanksgiving weekend. Let’s dig in to the rest before the antagonist does.
The international diplomacy counterpart to last week’s pan-federation summit, by which I mean another diplomatic episode written by a Johnny Test alumnus who’s never written pony before. Hoo boy…
I wonder if this episode is would’ve been called “Dragon Warrior” if it had been made before 2005…
