Of course she is, but how’s her throat?
And so we come to the end of Chapter 4. Let’s see how they close it out… and how badly they needed a beta reader.
We interrupt the current G5 rundown for something relatively quick in light of Everfree Northwest. In this case, a return to Magpiepony’s land of what-ifs (and irresponsibly time-traveling royal sisters) for the last two princesses who could have been.
So. Funny story about this week. The original plan was for the most recent G5 IDW issue and the first issue of Classics Reimagined: The Unicorn of Odd… but it turns out the former is the first half of a two-parter. I don’t like the idea of going over two incomplete stories, and without either second part currently available, that means we turn to the next part of the G4 backlog… which is a Berrow chapter book.
I find myself in an interesting situation that I can only describe as a multilevel backlog. The first one, the new Netflix content, will last me until the end of November. The one after that, all the Tell Your Tale shorts and comics that will accrue in that time, will see me through mid-January. And all the stuff I already had planned? December of next year.
Let’s begin.
As I promised on Thursday, this week we’re beginning a deep dive into the works of fan animator Minty Root, starting with their most recent creation and bouncing around from there.
And so my quest begins anew. Let's get to it... after a few thoughts on the Season 5 finale, since I saw the tail end of it prior to the premiere.
At this point, we’re getting into genuine first reactions on my part. Between other demands on my time and insufficient engagement, I just haven’t been binging G5. Honestly, I have a hard time just sitting and watching my entertainment anymore. Plus, there’s something to be said for a weekly release schedule giving the fandom time to digest each episode.
In any case, let’s take a look.
Okay, who ordered the oil tanker full of shipping fuel? Seriously, if this thing had capsized en route, the oceans would burn orange and white.
This week, we have something special, and not just because I only have a few months until I catch up with the comics. At the last Bronycon, the voice cast read a fan script, and officially, legally speaking, it couldn’t be recorded. But officially, legally speaking, this whole website shouldn’t exist…
It’s another clash of Hasbro’s titans, and I’m throwing a third into the mix. (Given the upcoming D&D crossover set, it’s only appropriate.) This time, we change up the setting; it’s ponies on Cybertron.
So. When I put this on the schedule, I thought it would just be a single special, like Winter Wishday. I wasn’t expecting Make Your Mark Season 2 to come with it. As such, it’s looking like a G5 summer. Let’s get this party started.
My adherence to the Old Ways continues (by which I mean treating a Netflix content dump like the episodes are coming out weekly.) Let’s see what new wonders and horrors, if any, await.
Oh, hey, it's Sunday.
...
Oh. Hey. It's Sunday.
Sorry. I guess I associate card blogs with watching pony. That may take a bit of time to decouple. Still, better late than never, right? 
Huh. You’d think the episodes about stealing cutie marks would’ve covered Starlight’s secrets. Let’s see what else we can pin on Old Equestria’s Handicapper General. Maybe it’s time travel!
We return to the comics, where a conveniently timed one-shot helps me schedule the five-issue Milkyway storyline. Let’s see just what how we're closing out 2023.
Next on the docket is the back half of The Unicorn of Odd. Let’s see how much of the original story makes it out unscathed from under the G4 cast’s critical eyes.
The madmen finally did it. Multiple its, actually. A moment of silence, please, for the Second Great Headcanon Massacre of 2019.
Ten years of card games. And friendship. Quite the milestone. And just in time for the last wave of Make Your Mark content, which…
… Huh. Well.
Well, this was going to go up in autumn when I first put it on the schedule, but the intervening time in Maretime Bay shoved it into a much less thematically appropriate timeslot. So it goes; let’s close out the four royal seasons and see what’s worth remembering about this book.
