With Season 7 back for a second half and the movie lurking just around the corner, the IDW comics were wrapping up their tie in prequel series, pushing out a delayed Legends of Magic for Sonambula (in addition to the planned one for Mage Meadowbrook), and another one-shot issue tying directly into the show. In this case, they decided on "A Health of Information" which was 18th in production order, but alas Discovery Family's quirky scheduling caused the episode order to be mixed up and

As the main series of comics kicked off the next arc (and faced concerns about a possible dip in quality now that "Reflections" was over), the Friends Forever series was chugging along just fine with four splendid issues under its belt (#2, #3, #4, and #6) and even #1 and #5 were not duds. Opting for the first of what would become three Pinkie PiexPrincess team ups (missing only Cadence), this issue decided to utilize Pinkie Pie and Princess Luna, both wielders of the Element of Laughter. But

This is the last of the comics reviews for now, and it covers one of the most recent issues of the comics. November marked the start of another hiatus for the fandom, and the comics had launched another short-term series, this one focused on a group of ex-villains and entitled "Nightmare Knights". While the second issue was launching, the main series was bouncing back from a turbulent Halloween issue that featured the student six in their first comic ever... with the main six once again being

As Season 8 of the show wrapped up and information about Season 9 was slowly starting to surface (albeit just a few minor details, at the time it was unknown if Season 9 would be the final season), the comics were once again forced to fill the gap. The main series decided to play it safe and go back to a simple, slice of life story, this time serving as a bit of a follow-up to "The Perfect Pear". Meanwhile, this mini series had just gotten itself established and still had much to prove if it

I did wishlists all the time for G4, so it only seems natural to do one for G5 since next year will have specials and the series proper. We already have the movie "A New Generation" to go on, and information about it and what we can expect going forward is slowly but surely trickling out. But I figured I might as well make this wishlist, giving my own thoughts on what I hope to see from G5 going forward and what it could do to hold my interest (and potentially others' interest as well). Of

This is one of those comics I never bothered to pick up a physical copy before, of this second arc I have only the second (main series #6) as a physical copy and you'll probably see why as the reviews here progress. Anyway, after "The Return of Queen Chrysalis" ended and Season 3 of the show wrapped up, the comics were now free to fill a long void of pony content that wouldn't really return until November of 2013 with Season 4. In the meantime there was the micro series that got off to a very

This is the last of my comic reviews for now, and there's only two more comics in the main series that I'm bothering to collect. So soon my comic reviews will come to an end. And I've already done a re-review of the first twenty four comics in the main series (I feel like my reviews for main series #25 onward sum up my thoughts and feelings pretty well for what I have collected, and the ones I haven't collected are ones I don't think I ever will collect and have already comfortably seen others

Chapter 9 is approching and it would be a honor for me to know your opinion about my story, if you like it or not and why. Just that, you can put the comment below and like always, I will read everyone of them, no matter how long or short they are. Have a nice day <3

I've talked about the best songs the show has had to offer over the course of five seasons, but I've never really talked about the worst ones. Until now. I think it's safe to say that not every song is a smash hit, there are a lot of songs that have for one reason or another, failed to to impress. So, as much as I hate to do this, let's talk about some of those songs in a bit more detail to determine why they are on this list. And remember, this list is by no means offical, and

Before we begin the review, let us first obeserve a moment of silence for those killed in the horrific terrorist attacks on Paris, France last night.

Well, you know what today is, right?

And to celebrate, we've got a Halloween themed episode. The third such episode of the whole series (fourth if you count "Castle Mane-ia"). Before we go any further, yes, I know this episode was leaked in advance. But I always prefer to wait and watch episodes when they air if I can help it.

Well, good news, I was able to get off of work in time to see the movie tonight! So, unless you're waiting for the DVD release come October, sit back, relax, and let's review the Friendship Games! May the odds be ever in Canterlot High's favor!

Despite not having a lot of new stallions introduced us to this season, most of the current stallions got a lot more love this time around compared to the previous seasons. Two in particular got a massive amount of screen time, and one was even given a much needed day in the limelight.

Anyway, here is the second version, time to see what's changed.

Well, it's time for another Discord episode, and the synopsis had me dreading what they were going to do. Since Season 4, I feel like Discord has become something that the writers don't know how to handle. They realize he's reformed, but they keep trying to play up that he's a trickster, and the results are usually less than satisfactory. And it would seem that Neal Duseadu, the same guy who penned "Princess Spike" with help from Jim and Jayson is in the writer's seat all on his

I'm pretty sure I caught your attention with that title, right?

Being one of the strongest cards of Nintendo and with the most recent event, presenting the Switch, I think it's time to analyze this topic and control the expectations from the whole community.

Short journal blog post before I finish my readings and get back to ECQ&tAE.

What is polarization by the way? Welp, the definition of polarization that i'm talking about, according to Wikipedia anyway, is the process in which public opinion splits into two... and goes to the extremes.

What the heck are you talking about vren55?

These Top Ten and Top Five lists are winding down, but I wanted to end them on a positive note and not a negative one. So today we're going to look at the five writers who just haven't been able to click with the show for one reason or another, and tomorrow we'll take a look at the five writers who've managed to either pull out the most consistent streaks of writing or cranked out some of the best episodes of the show. Like every list, this one is not official by any means,

DISCLAIMER: Do not go and attack these individuals mentioned in the blog. If you do, it's on your own behalf, not mine. This is an opinion post using these people as examples to give evidence to my reasoning. Others who respond on this blog are discussing the matter. That is all.

Opinion posts are back for a short while. Probably because I need to get this out there, since I have been seeing these prop up now and again.

Season 6 didn't have a whole lot of songs, not counting reprises we only got 11 of them and almost half came from one episode. I think now I know why "The Fault In Our Cutie Marks" was really delayed to be the nineteenth episode to air, if it had aired as the ninth episode, the last episode this season to feature a song would've been the seventeenth episode and that would've meant we'd have gone almost ten episodes without one! Naturally, it's going to make ranking the songs a
