This episode hit all the right chords with me. All of them. It deals with a lesson for life that is important, but underestimated by many in this world, in a society where people are quick with throwing old things away:

I think Eleanor Roosevelt had baboon arms. I mean I can't totally confirm this and maybe it was just the dress she was wearing but it looked like she had some King Louis length arms going on there. It was almost as if she could scratch the back of her knee without having to reach. Again I can't confirm this but it was just something I noticed before she started reading something from General Washington (obviously this was before he became president).

John Ford's penultimate Western serves as a dark deconstruction of the mythology of the Old West, and a mediation on how the difference between fact and myth is often a thin, blurry line, easily lost to the mists of time.

So, there's a poll up on the Equestria Daily website that poses the question: Should season 9 wrap up Friendship is Magic. They allow folks to choose from three different answers. To sum it up one answer is stop the show, another is keep it going and the final is an undefined other category. Personally I lean toward other or wrapping up the show.

Many writers -- myself included -- have integrated bits of the original G1 My Little Pony cartoon with Friendship is Magic. I recently re-watched an Old School Pony Review of the episode, "Quest of The Princess Ponies." Video included and can be seen below.

I just got hired to be an insurance agent. I honestly have no idea how to feel about that. Thrilled, because I'll be making good money? Depressed, because I'll actually have to meet people for a living (excuse me while I shudder)? Worried, because I won't be working a constant schedule and have no idea what it'll do to my writing schedule? Happy, because I have a job again? Frustrated, because it's not a job in my preferred field?

Greetings and salutations, my friends.

This is your top-of-the-line film, TV show, and episode reporter here with another review.

Today, I'm gonna give you guys my take of "Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway".

Here's the rundown of this sequel:

In Marie Antoinette, writer/director Sofia Coppola attempts to pain the last queen of France as just another teenage girl, who, by the cruel hand of history, was thrown into a world that she didn't understand.

However, as noble as the endeavor to humanize Marie Antoinette might be, Coppola fails spectacularly, creating a film that is high on kitschy style, but absolutely empty of substance or insight into Marie Antoinette.

YAKS SMASH SPOILERS!

Ahem. After 'Princess Spike,' it's great to see an episode where the humour works so well. Where we got some very nice in-character writing and excellent timing. My only bones to pick are that once again Spike gets slammed by a door, and the Yaks blew up at everything possible. Here I think the writers could have either used the Rule of Three or had the Yaks show silent disapproval until something bigger makes them SMASH.

When I saw The Cutie Map, I had a suspicion about the direction this season would go, but I took a cautious approach. But now it seems my guess has been confirmed. For, let me explain my thoughts on this episode in very simple terms:

The Best Night Ever has been dethroned as my favorite episode of the show. The king is dead. Long live the king.

Hello again. This time around I've been trying to look for stories that got less exposure than some of the others I looked for in the hopes of finding some really good ones that might have simply fallen by the wayside. Unfortunately, that plan seems to have backfired since a few of them didn't really do much for me. However, this is why I haven't read other, heavily viewed stories with very large ratings. In fact, some of these stories had so few votes that they simply didn't show up.

Well, this was supposed to have come out much sooner, but was held back for a number of reasons. One being, of course, that the mail service decided to be late in delivering the thing to begin with -- it only got here just this past Monday. And then there was the time spent actually playing it, the time spent on the side playing Atari, Game Boy, etc... But hey, at least I got around to it eventually, right?
