Friendship is Card Games: Once Upon a Zeppelin · 11:47am Oct 8th, 2017
Is this the weekend of airships or what? I’m certainly not complaining. Let’s cast off and take the tour.

Well, time to face facts on this one. For years, I’ve been saying that I’d revisit this story when Wizards revisited New Phyrexia. Now Vorinclex has barged into Kaldheim, and…
Well, at least I’m getting a card blog out of it.
Time to catch up on the side comics. While I may complain about the minutiae (and not-so-minutiae) I am genuinely glad to see so much pony content still coming out, especially the Classics Reimagined line giving the G4 cast more to do. But first, we’re heading back to camp.
A bit under two years after we saw the sun set on Equestria (and putting aside the fever dream of an interlude,) it is finally time to see how the golden age of Twilight tarnished into a long, dark night of Equestria’s soul… and the rise of a new Sunny era. Let’s begin.
We turn once more to the official novels, and this time it’s a new author. Let’s see what the human world has to offer.
Okay, so I’m set to watch the episode, right? Knew it was a Rarity episode, some kind of shenanigans involving the rest of the Mane Six at some point, not much beyond that. This? This was not what I expected.
Ah, thank you.
What? No, I just ordered the pancakes because I can't digest, like, half of the menu. Hay. Human. Not a good mix. Don't worry, your expense account is safe with me. Where was I?
Right. Now, I’m not saying it was bad. I’m not sure what I expected, but this…
I’m playing a little fast and loose with the schedule this week, but as of writing this, I have a contest deadline to race, RL friends to meet, and a performance of Khan! the Musical to see with my mom as a belated Mother’s Day gift, so reviewing a pony novel isn’t feasible.
This week, we look at the second half of the second FiM/Transformers crossover. To review, the Decepticons accidentally revived Sombra in a bit to steal Equestrian magic, and now he’s claiming all of Cybertron as his new kingdom… along with half of the Mane Six. Let’s see where it goes from here.
Yeesh. They aren’t pulling any punches, are they? This is indeed the final premiere of Friendship is Magic. Let’s see how we start the endgame.
And so we move on to the English manga, which should provide me with a few months’ worth of content properly spaced out. Let’s see how it opens
This should certainly be interesting. I’m not entirely sure what to expect from this part of My Little Pony’s ruby jubilee (along with the Bridlewoodstock special and… well, Ruby Jubilee,) but there’s certainly a lot to take in. Let’s begin.
As if in response to his notable absence last week, this episode is all about Spike, the cause of and solution to all life’s problems.
We begin the new year with three weeks of endings, wrapping up several comic storylines already in progress. First up is Camp Bighoof; let’s see how they send this one home, and with what memories.
This week, we look at a very accurate rendition of what would happen if you asked me to judge a fashion competition. Let’s face it, asking a big name in fashion to design you an outfit is a bit like asking a big-name architect to build you a house; it’ll look unbelievable—hopefully in a good way—but it won’t even pretend to be practical.
Of course, one can go too far in the other direction…
It’s time for the Shimmy-Glimmy Power Hour! Only, you know, it’s twenty-two minutes long and doesn’t have as much Tara Strong.
Speaking of hours, the Hour of Devastation prerelease was yesterday, so I threw together most of my review the night before. Time for a liveblog!
Goodness, it’s been almost two years since I last checked in on Trailblazer’s adventures. IDW putting out comics almost as quickly as I could review them will do that, especially given all of the G5 video media coming out concurrently.
We return to the cutthroat world of G5 roller derby, where Sunny’s trying her darndest to prove she’s more than just a casual skater… and has assembled one of the most ragtag teams of misfits this side of the Mighty Ducks in the process. Let’s see how the story’s developed from there.
Ah, the Wonderbolts. They don’t have a very good track record, do they? They were introduced as Equestria’s best fliers, but it seems like every season has an episode dedicated to making them look bad.
And we’re back to Chaos Pinkie’s fever dream of a universe. Let’s see what there is to be seen.
We return to Pony Life this week, and all the madness that that entails. Let’s see what’s cooking in the land of physically improbable head-to-body ratios.
