Thoughts on "Shadow Play" S7:E25 + 26 · 3:11am Dec 7th, 2017
The tl;dr version : Star Swirl is a dick.
The tl;dr version : Star Swirl is a dick.
As none of you knew before this point in time, I write poetry as well as stories about horses. I was going back through some of my old stuff and thought I might post this one.
***
The Birds, the Bees, and I
We are rude and polite and homicidal and self-sacrificing
The angel stops to embrace the demon
The rising ape touches the falling deity
And they nod to one another in comprehension
Of things that they cannot understand
Without the other
But
An episode poking fun of overly critical fans?! What could possibly go wrong?!

Season 7, Episodes Twenty-Five and Twenty-Six
Shadow Play, Part One and Part Two
*The Changeling Hive, 14 years ago*
"Go on Phary, just talk to him!"
"Tuney, no!" *ducks under Fortuna, hiding behind her forelegs* "He doesn't like me anyway..."
"You won't know that until you go see! Now shoo!" *gently pushes him towards Hivehunter*
"Eep!" *stumbles and bumps into Hive*
"Oof! Hey!" *glares at Pharynx* "What do you want?"

I have to confess in my initial reactions I seem to have missed these chapters because they are marked as a separate story and I can be a blithering idiot so I present a brand new reaction that Iβm sticking into the middle of my other parts of the reaction.
So without further ado:
Chapter 31: Expert on Love
The changelingβs body shook. He swallowed aloud. βWhaaβ¦ What kind of questions?β
Considering what these chapter are marked asβ¦β¦.
Grading Scale:
A (fantastic episode)
A- (an excellent episode with at least one flaw)
B+ (a great episode with a couple of flaws)
B (a good episode which still could have been better)

Ever have those moments when you watch a show and a random line from a character makes you realize something and appreciate the scene itself in a new way? I had that when I watched the second episode of S7. Starlight is teaching Trixie magic and the great magnificent manages to turn an apple into a teacup. Trixie is adorably ecstatic about it and says that it is the first time she has ever managed to do real magic.
Honest Apple: Review
Ha! An episode about Critiquing, perhaps I won't barf as much as I usually do.
Hmmm, and indeed I haven't barfed as much, I really applaud Applejack's attitude, she's acting exactly like... ME.
The way she
-Doesn't lie
-Points out the flaws in people who don't listen
-And isn't really being a bully because shes not saying hurtful things (I only say hurtful things to other people cuz they said horrid things to me first)
Not Asking For Trouble
Well, I do applaud the Yak's stubbornness, and the way they refuse to accept help. In many types of characters that's a trait I like... depending on the situation of course.
And much as I'm not too fond of overly optimistic friendship, that IS a good life lesson about HELPING others, giving what they NEED WHEN THEY NEED it (Unlike the people I grew up with who don't help at all)
I'll give this 6/10 (the ep was still rather boring)
Good morning everybody, how are all of you today? Let me tell you, I'm pretty happy this morning. Its nice outside, there's bright sunshine, just the perfect temperature to relax and calm down today.
Warning: Spoilers from the latest episode, Rock Solid Friendship, abound. Proceed with caution.
Discordant Harmony
Oh, no, an episode with Discord (In my view, the single most pathetic character in the entire franchise)
Oh well...
Well, I do approve of the lesson; It's important o be true to yourself, something I keep trying to tell people but the people still rudely scoff at me for it.
But Fluttershy seems to be acting teency bit out of character (She's not acting all meek and timid) but at least she gets the idea that EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT

(Finally Home from the states so I can rant on this episode)
It Isn't the Mane Thing About You
Hmm, so far, Rarity is just being Rarity... that's fine, she hasn't hurt anything yet.
As for Zecora, I'm glad she's here, so I can rub in people's faces about rhyming (There's nothing different whatsoever the way Zecora talks that Rhymey talks... so don't be shallow)
Rhymey
It's quite annoying how people mock,
