You thought Spike’s first date would be with a pony…

Unsurprisingly, this episode is devoid of cancer patients and amputees. Instead, we have a nasty case of species dysphoria to address.
And so, after a logistical hiccup, we come to the final bits of G4 animation I have left in the backlog. Let’s see if we can send it off on a high note.
With persistence and courage, I return largely triumphant from the tournament grounds of Eldraine. Let’s take a look at what three young squire-steeds are up to.
And so we cover the back half of a most unexpected crossover. Let’s see what can be seen.
Previous Highlight (Chronological Order): #finnabuse and Wonderful Eliyora
Previous Highlight (Publication Order): Vendor Hall Completion and Lip Sync Battle
So. The next issue of the comic came out literally a week after the end of the Homecoming arc. At this point, I’m starting to think they’re deliberately taunting me. Why can’t IDW meet the same professional standards of regularity as many webcomics?
But for now, we’re wrapping up the Flash Sentry Papers.
We’re back to Friendship is Witchcraft for another few weeks, and this week is… kind of a double feature. I’ll explain after the break.
Well. That happened.
As many have noted, as of this episode, Twilight Sparkle has spent more episodes of the show as an alicorn than as a unicorn. Well, more accurately, there have been more episodes of the show where she’s been an alicorn than a unicorn. She hasn’t appeared in some of them, including this one.
This week, we return to Trailblazer and company, and a day of seaside fun in the town of Amblerta before going a-questing to Yggdrasil.
We return to the Berrow catalogue this week, and it’s AJ’s turn in the saddle.
… I’m going to think about the implications of that idiom with ponies later. For now, let’s see what this book has in store.
Bad news is my Sealed pool could’ve been better yesterday. (Five out of seven rares cast one mana. Two of which were Bomat Courier.) Good news is I was able to pull the episode off of YouTube before it got ContentID’d, which means I can do a quasi-live reaction.
The first two issues of the G5 IDW comics are out, and I definitely have some thoughts on them, but I’m holding off on them until more information comes to light. For now, let’s close out d20 Pony for the time being.
Alright, time to close out Make Your Mark. Surely the season finale will have some dramatic confrontation.
Surely.
Imagine the least likely MLP crossover imaginable. One that would not even occur in fan fiction. One where the disconnect between the target audiences couldn’t be widened much more before you’d have to go either postmortem or prenatal.
That’s right, folks. We Golden Girls now. Just don’t ask me which one is Betty White.
It’s back to the Moon this week, with shenanigans aplenty. (A shame we're just past the bit with the egg on Easter Sunday, but so it goes.)
If we’re going in strict chronological order of release, I should’ve gone for Camp Bighoof before Endless Summer, but it is what it is. Let’s see what I missed out on last time, while also chipping away at the main line backlog.
Despite the leaks, we here at Wizards of the Foam are dedicated to the originally intended release schedule. As such, we will not be using any information from the Ixalan rare sheet that was—
Wait, what?
Pony leaks from Australia? Seriously?
Well, the same policy stands. I’ll get to those when they air in the States, just like today's subject, which aired early in Poland. Let’s look at the latest dispatch from the technicolor ape world.
Oh. Right. Sunny Starscout. The mare who reunited the tribes and ascended to holographic alicornhood (which is like normal alicornhood, but only shows up in Collector Boosters.) She should probably get a focus episode at some point this season.
