Trying my hand at blog-style review posts. Wish me luck!
Given the audience here, this is written assuming the reader has already seen the episode. Which just means it isn't spoiler free (though getting spoiled on this won't affect your enjoyment either way, I'd wager) and skips past a lot of the boring plot stuff.

Brian Is Gone But Not Forgotten
Brian was a fun-loving balloon. He enjoyed throwing parties for his balloon animal friends. He was always the life of the party. He brought joy to all of the young fillies and colts of Equestria with his balloon antics.
He was so well loved that he won the most coveted 'Best Balloon Animal' title eight years in a row.
Strap in, laddies, this’ll be a long one.
Recently, TheJediMasterEd posted a blog about how the classic Mystery Science Theater 3000 "Names from Space Mutiny" running gag could be mined for awesome pony gangster names. I relayed a related tale of personal hilarity in comments, and have gotten multiple requests to
Y’all may remember from yesterday (technically, really early this morning) I lost my shovel, found my shovel, broke my shovel, bought a new shovel, and then broke that shovel, too.
Naturally, our tale does not end there.
Nor, fortunately, does the collection of shovel-themed pony pics.
PINKIE PIE: "...yeah, I don't really like looking back at this phase of mine either. Let me tell you, I was really wacko! If I saw any of my friends acting that way, I'd have them committed! Maybe let them out on weekends for a bit of fresh air."
[Rainbow pushes away with her foot a filled-out asylum form]
Last year, I promised a return of "Filed Away", but the rise of the corona virus (and, admittedly, my own fixation on it) disturbed my writing plans, so a 2020 return to the story could not happen in the end. The story has not been forgotten regardless of that, though,
"A Letter to the Ponies of the Future and Equestria's New Generations" just made it into the Popular Stories section on the front page!
GRANNY SMITH: "Eh, what were we hugging for here again, Apple Bloom?"
APPLE BLOOM: "Don't ya remember, Granny Smith? I had a crisis of faith and didn't want to bring you to school, so I pretended to be sick, tried to speed up the harvest, controlled you while you were asleep, and faked a message from Uncle Apple Strudel!"
RAINBOW DASH:"Heh, looking back at this, Twilight, you might say that you needed help learning how to train your dragon!"
TWILIGHT: "Oh, sweet Celestia, reverse my alicornhood and kill me now..."
DISCORD: "Finally! Oh, you silly little ponies have no idea how infuriating it's been to sit on the sidelines while you all deliver uninspired opening zingers! Well, except for Pinkie, that meta one back for 'Feeling Pinkie Keen' and Twilight's response was gold. Now, I can show you all how it's really done - "
When the year had just started, in the middle of January, I made a plan for chapter releases of "Dreamwalker Dash" and "Letters to Cozy Glow". During the years from 2017 - 2019, my writing skill, as well as my discipline with updating multi-chapter stories, have declined a lot in the aftermath of a mentally stressful event at the beginning of 2017 whose effects on my mind and life lasted for about two and a half years.
REMANE 5: "Surprise!"
RARITY: "Wha...! But, I... what are you all doing here? You're cutting into valuable screentime for me to chew the scenery! I was saving all that for the episode's last third!"
There won't be a chapter of "Letters to Cozy Glow" this week anymore and writing for it will only continue next week. The reason is that I'm changing something about my writing schedule. More infos about that will come tomorrow.
Stay easy as a filly!

Zipp: "Okay, so here's how you practise using a tranquilliser. You find an easily-distracted target – I recommend diva sisters, though crafts-obsessed ditzy unicorns work equally well – make up some excuse for them to pose, and then, let them have it!
