"It's time for me to send Starlight Glimmer away!"
Note: This is the script for my upcoming video review on "Celestial Advice". I wrote this script at the same time as the analysis for "All Bottled Up", but that hasn't been fully edited yet. Please bare with me while I do a bit of catching up on video creation, which I haven't done in months!
But for now, enjoy.
Flash of dramatic magic
Because cable companies, not just DirecTV, lie, I no longer have Discovery Family, which means these blogs will come at all hours of day instead of right after the episode airs. Just so ya know.
Welcome to a new blog series! Necessitated by me no longer having Discovery Family as a channel, I will be making an effort to rewatch episodes in the middle of the week, likely around the Tuesday/Wednesday period. And since I'm just watching on my own, I'll be more or less liveblogging reactions. Because if the first two episodes were anything to go by, there was a lot of stuff in there I didn't even come close to touching with my initial blog post.
WARNING!!! The following contains SPOILERS for the MLP’s season premiere episodes “Celestial Advice” and “All Bottled Up”.
I'm only just now starting the seventh season (the last month of school has been busy as hell), and I literally have no one else to discuss these or watch these with, so let's go! (Obviously, this will be a long one.)
Hey Everypony! A new season of MLP started back in April, and I’m finally getting around to talking about it now. Truth is, it’s been a little harder for me to keep up this Season. Really, these first three episodes are all I’ve seen so far.
Good News: The season premiere for season 7 had me laughing out loud!
Bad News: Not always for the right reasons.
Reader beware, you're in for a scare... if you're scared of SPOILERS!
First of all, the elephant in the room. This is the first season to open without a two-parter. Does it matter that much? Not really, if they can stand on their own.
But do they?
So. When last we left Equestria, Thorax went from psychological aberration to glorious faerie moose, lord of the Crayola bughorses. Starlight Glimmer… Well, let’s be frank, she’s still a work in progress. Still, she found the confidence to lead her personal Suicide Squad on a combination coup/rescue mission, saving the main characters, the local pantheon of surprisingly kidnappable demigods, and Shining Armor.
Grading Scale:
A (fantastic episode)
A- (an excellent episode with at least one flaw)
B+ (a great episode with a couple of flaws)
B (a good episode which still could have been better)
Pony Point Of View
It's finally here, this new season! Now I can get my weekly fix of ponies. Twilight Sparkle has come a long way since she was a student, and now, she's even taken on a student of her own in a field she'd never imagined she'd spend her life pursuing. Of course, it's time to present her student with a path of her own. Interestingly, this is is a set of two independent episodes. I wonder what's up with that? I figure there's something else the writers were working on, like
