Meh. Really felt like a filler, this one, and I can't help noticing that its writer was Neal Dusedau, whose previous work was on the teleplay for "Princess Spike". It probably doesn't help that Bob Ross isn't a big pop-culture phenomenon in the UK. (I don't think we even got his show on British TV back in the day.) I felt sorry for Twilight, especially as I've been in her position here, and it's not at all enjoyable. I actually felt her friends (and Discord) were being

Time is short (because of UK PonyCon looming), so this will be a short one, and I'll leave the spoilery waffle for Louder Yay in a day or two's time. This was a pretty weird episode, but in the end it was well worth it. It was great to see an Apple Family ep that (mostly) didn't involve Applejack; not that I have anything against AJ, but she's not everything. Big Mac got to talk a whole lot (in a way...) and we got a really interesting look at his character for the first time. There was

This show aired in 1984, which makes it 2 years older than me. Those of us who had a bit of our childhood in the early 90’s might have seen it, I know I did, but chances are most 90’s kids didn’t see this

And in case you’re wondering, it actually looks worse than I remember it. Thankfully I can’t remember any of the other characters from the show, but it would have probably fared better if it had been animated.

I'm up sitting in my living room at 6:40 AM.

I've been up since 2:00 AM mind you.

Been a long while since I've blogged , so why not?

How is the RNG that is life been treating you?

I've rolled several Critical Fails myself recently.

One trusting that people can change.

and also I'm broke lol. But yeah, I was in crowd shots of the 1979 Championships for season 1, but now I'm a "core journalist", and tomorrow will be one of only like a dozen extras, so over the next 6 off and on months, ya boi will probably be in a lot of shots individually recognized. With this God awful porn stache >_> lol I'm super excited. Not about the 7am call time with an hour long drive and last night I was up until 3:30am and people love when you play Elton John on your portable

It's been a while since I've done some reviews, so I figure I'm gonna review something that I've been getting into a lot as of late; Fallout! I have finally become integrated into the fandom, and I am happy for it, I've been in love with this series more and more as I get involved with it. I've gotten Fallout 4 in honor of the show (which I intend to review at some point after I finish it) and I have seen the series twice to better prep myself for this review; once for my own enjoyment, and a

Very quick, non-spoilery review: I really liked it. Okay, not the most original idea for an episode, but done very nicely and with much better pacing than some eps I could name. A couple of relatively minor faults, but it was good enough to overcome the weirdness of being shown in May. This might be my favourite ep of the season, and it's close enough to a five that it stands a chance (a small one, admittedly) of being upgraded on re-watching. Edit: it was indeed upgraded! This is a

Other than the sad lack of a Looney Tunes joke to go with the title, I don't have many complaints about this one. This is the sort of old-season stuff I really like, and for the most part I thought it worked very well. Fluttershy was great, Pinkie was great... and Snails(!) was great too. Rainbow and Applejack were a tad more uneven, but mostly they got away with it. Another filler episode, I suppose, but in my view a very good filler episode. I'll definitely be rewatching this one.

Yes, I've seen the finale. Of course I have! Review coming after the US airing, however. As for episode 23, which was dropped from Tiny Pop because of cider referenes, I really enjoyed it. More than quite a few other people, so it seems from initial reactions. There are a few obvious plot holes, but it was another of the "could almost have been S2" episodes that this season has done quite a bit now. Three stars on first viewing, but a high three. Has potential to be a four if I really

Hmm. I appreciate the innovation, but it's not as successful in that regard as "The Saddle Row Review" was. There are some great bits, and Applejack has a fantastic episode, but they don't quite add up to a great whole. Part of this is because the resolution is colossally stupid. Unfortunately, I'll know it's coming now, and it'll irritate me every time. As a mystery, "Rarity Investigates!" blows this -- ahem -- out of the water. ★★/★★★

Great fun, at least as long as you don't hate Starlight Glimmer being central. Has some obvious plot holes (the changeling!Mane Six are really obvious, so how did they take over so easily?) but it's one of those episodes that's best watched for entertainment. Trixie and Discord are a brilliant double act. Chrysalis's appearance from behind the cocoons is tremendously creepy, too. I'm glad they didn't reform her -- I suspect she'll be back, and not alone either. Still uncertain about

It's Friday, which means a fun fact! Today's fact is that the first MLP movie (based on the original show, not FIM or EG) was Marvel's "first domestic theatrical film", which is to say that it was the first movie Marvel played in the US. Knowing the movies Marvel makes today, finding out that they made a movie meant for little girls, especially in the days before bronies, was surprising to say the least.

I'm back from a week's holiday, so here's a very late episode review! No need to avoid spoilers after a week, so: I thought this was a solid episode, but one that could have been so much better. In particular, why wasn't the song turned into a huge, all-dancing Bollywood extravaganza? I was confidently expecting the reprise to be just that... and then it wasn't. Okay, it was Bollywood-ish, but where was the completely ridiculous sudden entrance of 200 whirling dancers,
