---Season 9--Episode 17---
After years of reading people's hot takes, "Idiot Ball" seems to have become a more succint, and somehow nicer, way of saying that the writing for a character is badly and contrived. It should mean that their actions are so contrived, it takes the viewer out of the story. But that issue is so recurrent and expected that critics have just turned it into a story beat of Friendship is Magic.

(Okay, bit of a bold statement there. Hold on, let me explain, it's not nearly as ludicrous as it sounds. )

In case some of you didn't know, in April, IDW is going to begin releasing it's "MLP:FiM season 10"-comic series.

---Season 9--Episode 9---
This episode felt like it was trying to do for dragons and Garble what “Lost Treasure of Griffinstone” did for griffins and Gilda. There are a few issues with that concept on paper. (This is credited to Kim Beyer-Johnson, the person behind Non-Compete Clause. While episodes aren't really written by only one or two people, I still felt like we'd dodged a bullet. This just being an OK episode overall is fine).

Just ooone more early release for today, not like I got much else going on for me but coughing and feel sorry for myself anyway.

The title sounds interesting, that’s all I know. I do enjoy going into these so blind.

200 episodes. Who'd have thought My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic would make it this far? This makes it the longest-running animated show of the 2010s in both on-air time and number of episodes (okay, some Cartoon Network shows have more episodes, but only by counting episodes in 11-minute chunks, so this still wins by a sizeable count).

Imma just... catch a few more of these early releases real quick. Saw someone I follow put up a thought piece they had on this, so kinda been eager to make it this far so I can finally give it a read without spoilers. Well, beyond now knowing which two characters this seem to be about.

So, let’s get on with the show!

This isn't a surprise, not really. Even for those of us who, like myself, avoided looking at any leaks ourselves, it was near-impossible to avoid the rumours from those leaks. But, it's still a lot different to see it officially stated up there in black-and-white from an official, indisputable source.

Okay, final of the early releases I got access to. Just wanted to get through them to avoid spoilers, like the ones I couldn’t evade completely during early releases in the past that I didn’t had access to.

These release schedules, man.

Anyway, another one I get to go in blind. Let’s do it!

Everyone responsible for the decision to have the “heroes” of this show brutally torture a child to death should be ashamed of ruining Lauren Faust’s creation. Worst ending imaginable, couldn’t be any worse, ruins the ENTIRE series!!!!! Or at least it ruins all the post-Faust stuff in the entire show’s history.

Recently, Equestria Daily invited its readers to submit to them letters for the intent of being forwarded to the show's staff (read them here, here, and here), as a big thank you for everything they have done

If you can picture my face, this is how I’d look before starting work in the office.

"Common Ground" may have been written to mirror the situation of its guest stars as well as with them in mind. "Sparkle's Seven" may have been a fitting tribute to the 5 actresses that did a lot to make the show's main characters as endearing and entertaining as they have been over the years. But they are, in the end, behind-the-scenes stuff that might not be instantly, aggressively obvious within the episodes alone (okay, Sparkle's Seven clearly feels unique when watching it; point still

More foreign early releases, I guess! I just wanna catch up before people give in to the inner spoiler imp inside them, so read these episode reactions at own risk if you still wait for the proper American release schedule.

Now let’s see what this one is about.

I'll say this about Celestia, she has excellent taste.

This episode brings with it a great loss. For almost nine seasons, we know about Spike's legendary crush on Rarity. And now that crush is gone, because Spike's heart has found someone else than Rarity. Sparity is a thing of the past.
