Well, looks like I was wrong about two things. Maud DID move to Ponyville, and we had a veteran writer pen this episode, Nick Confalone who has written episodes such as "Party Pooped", "Hearth Breakers", and "The Saddle Row Review". You may want to remember those first two episodes though, because they're going to play an important part in addressing a complaint later on. For now though, this episode may have defied my predictions, but did that mean it was necessarily for

Fuck Canada.

Specifically, fuck their Treehouse channel, deciding it would be a good idea to double-air new episodes for two months until they hit the halfway point. Fandom moves at the speed of internet; avoiding spoilers is one thing, but avoiding entire episodes? Goddamn impossible. So now, instead of having an entire week to soak in an episode, I have to jam two into one and hurry my ass through the season, because they decided it was a good idea for some reason.

Remember Season 1 when Pinkie and Rainbow bond over their love of pranks? Well 5 seasons later, so did our new writer.

The greatest sin of Every Little Thing She Does is that it's forgettable. I'm talking Inspiration Manifestation forgettable, and really, it shouldn't be. An episode about Starlight Glimmer using mind control magic on her friends should not rate an "eh", but I just can't bring myself to care about what happens. It's no What About Discord, but at the same time shows me that, if I hadn't identified so much with Twilight back in season two, I might not have given a damn

I still say that "Applejack's" Day "Off" is at least more entertaining than Saddle Row Review. I like that Aloe (or is that Lotus? I literally have no idea) has a big role, I like the way theme of needing outside eyes to spot the holes in one's activities and how that doesn't prevent you from succumbing to it yourself. (It's probably almost entirely due to this episode being nothing but Rarijack ship fuel.) But it's still at best a mid-tier episode, and there are just so many ways

So, leading into our mid season hiatus, we have our second RariPie episode of the season and the show. Hey, I'm all for more unique pairings, it's great that the show is doing this. Mike Vogel, who wrote "A Hearth's Warming Tail" returned to write this episode, stepping into new territory since here he has to tell an actual story ("A Hearth's Warming Tail" was great, but the actual story for the episode was very bare bones. The story within the story more than made up for it,

So nice of them to give a background pony a starring episode.

So in my last blog, I said I'd voice what I thought of today's episode. Well, a promise is a promise, so buckle in.

It's finale time, finally! This season has been the leakiest of all the seasons, whether it was the leaked animations of several first half episodes, the foreign dumps from France and Sewden, or even the early broadcasts in Australia and Canada, almost nothing about this season stayed secret. And that included behind the scenes revelations about the nature of the season, namely that Hasbro mandated the school and the writers weren't too thrilled by it. Season 8 has been a very rocky season with

Well, unless something changes, it seems like the show will enter a mid-season hiatus courtesy of Discovery Family after "The Molt Down". At this point, I really don't see why Hasbro bothers to maintain the deal with Discovery Family, especially with the show slated to wrap up next year. Bumping it to Netflix now wouldn't hurt anything, and they've got homes for their other shows as well. Heck, with Hasbro recently having purchased Saban, they could always utilize that partnership for their own

After two weeks worth of lackluster episodes, this episode has a lot to do to get Season 8 back on track. This episode features the debut of the first new writer of the season, Brian Hohlfeld. He's written for a variety of shows before, but his most noticeable was working alongside Nicole Dubac to create Transformers: Rescue Bots (which is getting a spin-off series later this year). A show that, while it had the same animation studio as this show, utilized LA voice talent (including

Well, it's time for the mid season finale, again. Hey, at least this time we had no interruptions and it makes sense to stop here. The last time we had the show run in June and July, the schedule was so wonky that it was easy to forget there were episodes on, and I imagine the target audience had less interest. This episode actually got leaked twice, once without the background audio and then a few days ago it was aired in the U.K. on Tinypop (which aired the last three episodes of Season 6

Yes, I'm aware that this episode got leaked early in Russian with English subtitles, but I feel like it wouldn't be the same without hearing the original English voice actors and actresses. Anyway, we've got the last of the "Legends of Magic" tie in episodes leading up to the finale (which has been confirmed to tie into the IDW comics), and it's our third TwiShy episode to boot. Last time they were pared up was for "The Hooffields and McColts", a fairly good if somewhat forgotten episode

In today's episode, it turns out all that whining Thorax was doing in Triple Threat was actually foreshadowing! How about a direct episode sequel?

Word to the wise: Don't let anyone spoil you on the finale, it was amazing. Even me saying that is kind of spoily. If you think you've heard anything about it, go watch it right now, lest the best come across your plate like it did mine. D:

And season seven comes to a close, with a heck of a bang! :D I hope everyone enjoyed Shadow Play, because I sure as hell did!

Before I get into the reaction and analysis, I wanted to bring up something interesting. I was looking through transcripts recently and came across this gem, from The Crystalling, part 2:
