Twilight stared at him in bemusement. "That's absolutely ridiculous. Everypony knows that zombies are created by voodoo witch doctors channeling fell spirits into the corpses of the recently deceased via mystic song and dance."
Rainbow Dash should have known this. The whole plot to 28 Pranks Later falls apart when you consider this fact.
"28 Pranks Later" was a particularly worrisome synopsis. It promised to repeat the worst crimes of "The Mysterious Mare-Do-Well" and continue to have Rainbow Dash re-learn already-known lessons. Thankfully, the episode itself is surprisingly good-natured and entertaining, even though it still feels like a repetition of earlier character development. It's just too bad that this is the show at its most thuddingly predictable and simplistic, repeating all of the previous episode's mistake with
28 Pranks Later was MLP's only foray into the zombie genre, and it's a good one. In this episode, Rainbow Dash goes on a pranking spree that irritates most of Ponyville.
It's rare for me these days to find my thoughts on a new episode echoed by more than a few people around the fandom. The Cart Before the Ponies is a rare victory for me in this regard, but that victory is ultimately pyrrhic, since everyone agrees with me that the episode was just okay, with the only dissent being whether or not that makes it bad. I have thought of one thing, however, that makes this ultimately mediocre episode worth watching, in case you needed some pushing into the "it
Technically zombies exist in their universe. I've seen enough movies where zombies come about and they never use the word cause they don't know what a zombie is but since they said zombies in the newest episode they must exist in that universe. Also this makes zombies in a bunch of other fanfics seem really plausible. Now granted they're cookie zombies but zombies none the less!
Oops I forgot. And I was on such a good run!
Only just got round to watching this one. That's time I could have spent jetwashing flagstones or somesuch. Ah well. I have to ask why they felt it necessary to write this story. Have they felt guilty about condoning prankery ever since Griffon the Brush-Off graced our screens? I doubt even Hasbro could be that apologetic.
They're coming to get you Rainbow Dash!
Hello there, another week two episodes this time. Sorry I didn't write a review for 28 Pranks later last week but i was a little busy going to a birthday party for my cousin as well as a Guns and Roses concert. I actually didn't end up watching the episode until tonight as me and my sis were busy with stuff happening all week and we never quite got a chance to just sit down and watch it until today. So first things first, let's take a look at 28 pranks later. My thoughts below.
Well. That happened. 
With April Fool's Day looming will Batty actually be able to review this episode about zombie ponies or will a certainly clip from a bad E.T. rip off rear it's ugly head?
So, the last two weeks of the show have been interesting haven't they? I mean we got a prank/zombie episode and then we got a changeling episode. It's a pretty big time for the show with new lessons to learn and all. Or not.
Well, this is an interesting episode. I feel that the premise is a tad arbitrary— much like last week's episode, this is a lesson that Rainbow should already have long learnt. But in spite of that, the imagery is just so good. Holy crud, even when knowing the gist of the plot it was actually pretty exciting. So, as usual, have some thoughts!
