Rainbow finally realizes her dream. Time to soar high or crash and burn.
Rainbow finally realizes her dream. Time to soar high or crash and burn.
Maybe it's because I heard some of the bad buzz on this episode going in and my expectations were thus lowered, but I didn't really mind this episode as much as everyone else seems to.
(I accidentally watched PARENTAL GLIDENCE FIRST, but... eh, as long as I blogged it)
FOREVER FILLY
Hmm, an episode involving the absolute WORST pony of the Mane Six, and a complete reversal of Sisterhooves Social not to mention extreme character contradiction... this has PATHETIC written all over it!!
Time to catch up on two weeks' worth of episode rewatches! Which, in a better world, would mean two episodes. :| Blame Canada.
Warning: Spoilers abound. Proceed with caution.
I find myself once again unable to talk about just one thing with this episode. I've been anticipating this ever since Games Ponies Play, and it did not disappoint. So, let's go through the list:
1. Back when Magic Duel came out, I made a joke about making a drinking game out of the number of callbacks in the episode. If you tried that with this episode, you'd probably end up plastered halfway through.
Fuck. This was EPIC. This is the only word to define what I felt about this fucking episode. IT WAS FULL OF PANDAS EVERYWHERE and references too. I was expecting a lot from it, but this... this was more than I ever expected! Who would say a donkey wedding would be so fucking awesome? Now go get more after the break...
Just saw the episode, and OH MY GOD. What a love letter to the fans! It was hilarious, heartwarming, and just nuts enough for us fans to really get behind.
Still a bit behind on the show proper, but there are some things you don't delay. So I watched Episode #100. Thoughts?
Everything is perfect, everything is canon, my avatar abides, fuck the haters, minor characters rock, jump sharks, hug pones, witness the existential dread of reptiles, fandom and supporting media are important so here's an entire speech about it, 11 / 10, would and will watch again. Repeatedly.
Warning: Spoilers abound. Proceed with caution.
Well, I didn't think we'd have one of these episodes this early in the season, but here we are. I've got a lot to say about this one, and it's best not to waste any time. Let's get right to it, shall we?
HORSE PLAY
LIFE POINTS: 8000
Uh-oh, an ep about Celestia... I still have an unwanted Cartoon crush on her, and it's usually hard for me to scorn her, but if I have to... so be it.
1,111 times she's raised the sun... much as I find Pinkie Pie's idea annoying, at least we now have narrowed the field of Celestia's true age. So I can't penalize this...
-No Damage
Good thing I watched this leaked and wrote this rant in advance, I got Anime North to deal with today...
MOLT DOWN
LIFE POINTS: 8000
Aww, Spike and Rarity, much as I say Rarity is the worst of the Mane 6, I ship her and Spike.
-No damage (Though I still find Rarity annoying)
Technically speaking, the hiatus doesn’t end until the start of August, but Discovery Family saw fit to give us a taste of things to come. And it apparently tastes like Seussian bagpipes and bleeding ears. Let’s take it from the top.
May be back from Day two at Fanexpo... where I found the people who called me "THE GOSPEL" (I don't let it go to my head)
they think MLP is awful too, I even told them about BB pulling off Flurry Heart's head... I got high fives for it.
Still... like I said... I don't really stop for anything!
Let's see how i'll penalize the ponies today.
Well, since I'm back, may as well start up these blogs again, especially for an episode as great as this one. First off, I honestly don't think I'll see an episode this season that'll top this one, but, who knows, I may be surprised. Second, was I the only one feeling the feels on this one? I mean, it brought us back all the way to the first episode. Throughout the episode's entirety, I was constantly overwhelmed with these memories and feelings I had the first time I watched the series
It's leaked... Back off if you don't want spoilers.
LP:8000
Amazing! Rarity invites Spike out, and he's not even phased.
-No damage
!! You said Any-pony... to a Dragon. (I don't care what you think or flame me more, I'll penalize it if I want
-Automatic 500
LP:8000 -----> 7500
For those unfamiliar with my review system, I do it in the style of YUGIOH: The episode starts with a score of 8000 LP, and every time they do something that displeases me, I deduct points. How many points depends on the severity of the situation.
-Something I consider minor, but still annoying: -200
-Something that is more annoying, or even constant- 500 (Anytime someone says "ANYPONY/EVERYPONY to Non-Pony creatures is an automatic penalization)

Hey everypony! We're doing another round of surveys over on the Series-Continuation Fan-Episode Project (can't wait to move from that development title to "The Magic Continues"). This one focuses more on what people actually want to see out of us in terms of content. We use these surveys as a point of reference when making decisions, so it'd be a big help for everypony to respond and share these!
THIS EPISODE....
Watch it before it gets the crap blocked outta it!
So, Mykan has a "plan" it seems.
I'm watching later Season 8 eps leaked on Dailymotion...
Jesus Christ. At least go for kimcartoons.
And I'm going to try a little experiment.
Does it involve you stucking your head in an oven?
The episodes are there, they just doesn't have any background music, but if next week the episode plays out exactly the same as I see it now...
