Yes, you read that right. Today I'm taking a break from talking about fanfiction and magic equines. Today, I'm talking about corporate fiction and magic humans! I know it will be a transition for all of us, but there's more equivalency in writing quality than you might expect.
Today I'm talking about Unbowed, Part 1.
Finally back with a brand new analysis! I loved this episode, it's now possibly my favorite pony episode ever. It took me three months to make this video, due to life always getting in the way. I hope you enjoy it!
Yesterday I saw someone get plowed into by a semi-truck. Now in this case I mean it was only a partial truck I'm not quite sure what the rest of it was. I'm going to say a vw bug. Anyway I think the guy's soul entered my body and I think he had jock itch and a penchant for curry.
According to my computer, I finished this review set all the way back on September 10th. I had thought I had posted it for some reason, but apparently, I never did.
Whoops.

Below are two fanfic reviews based purely on the initial impressions provided by the first chapter (or first 3k words.) For an outline of what my reviewing guidelines are, go here. Please do not request reviews!
Before I get into the reviews proper, I just want to note: The way I’m doing these is not random--I’m clicking on the last page of my to-read list, and reviewing the stories on the bottom of each page...
I barely read any non-writeoff stories last week, then in a single evening, read ten of them.
Let’s get cracking.

The Worst of Mentions by BlazzingInferno
Today I had a rather odd moment. I received a text from a political group that informed me that I was a black woman and that my vote counted now more than ever. I was shocked. I didn't know I was a black woman. All these years wandering this planet of ours and I wasn't informed of this. There was only one recourse ... run home strip down and check.
Another day, another chapter. Last time we had: a confessional that experienced two biblical plagues; a priest who died of shock from said plagues; and a nun that doused herself in gasoline and set herself on fire.
And to think that is all a step down in amount of destruction from chapter 2.
DISCORD: "Ah yes, Eye of the Fluttershy. I must say, Fluttershy, once I looked back and saw this moment, I was quite moved, you know. You really did very well, pushing yourself that much. And you look so cute when you're working out too!"
This was a pretty fun episode, if not extremely memorable or masterfully executed. But that doesn’t mean I don’t have anything to say about it, even if it’s less than usual.
Scale of Ratings
1 - Disgustingly Bad (the worst of the worst; has absolutely nothing to make up for the huge flaws that riddle the section/episode)
Rated "Must Read" by the Pleasant Commentators and Review Group, receiving an 8/10 grade:
WARNING: The following blog post contains spoilers. If you have not yet watched this episode, I would recommend watching it before you read this post. It spoils several plot elements, at least one of which is much more effective if you aren't already aware of it.
Everyone gone who needs to be gone? Good.
The final set of reviews for the FlutterDash contest. Sorry I missed posting this yesterday – I ended up feeling kind of terrible and slept for like 12 hours, and thus totally forgot to post this. Feeling a lot better today, though.

I have reviewed some things that don’t traditionally receive deep criticism. I’ve done full length reviews of porn and a webcomic, for instance. Today, we add a Pony Music Video (PMV) to that list.
