When first I saw School Daze (the Season 8 premiere), I thought, "who the buck is the Equestrian Education Administration" and why do they have so much power?" Rewatching it now almost three years later, I find myself thinking the exact same thing.
Well, I think with the release of Chapter Seven and the generally pleasant reaction to it, it might be a good idea to elaborate upon my portrayal of one of the characters to make their Quiververse debut in the story - specifically, Chancellor Neighsay.
"Gee Chancellor, what are we going to do tonight?"
"The same thing we do every night Pinkie. TRY TO TAKE OVER EQUESTRIA... (via its educational system)"
They're Pinkie and the Neigh,
YEs Pinkie and the Neigh.
One is a genius, the other's insane.
They have equine looks.
They do things by the book.
Where's Dinky?
It's Pinkie and the Neigh, Neigh, Neigh, Neigh, Neigh.
Everyone... I don't know what to say.
0/10 - AWFUL (unsalvageable, never should have been made, wouldn't recommend to anyone)
1/10 - HORRIBLE/BORING (tedious, hurts to watch, a bore, no reason to watch him/her, whatever positive things about him/her are tiny and not enough)
2/10 - VERY BAD (slightly less terrible, maybe there were one or two things you liked kept him/her from being a 1 but still very painful)
I'm hoping it'll at least be decent. And there's something I should get off my chest.
Before today, I did have plans to write a sequel to my fic Rinse And Repeat called That's Not Much Better. I was hoping to write it before the season premiere date but just never got round to it. That, and I think my villain ranking blogs have said enough about all the villains.
It's a battle of wills in my new one-shot story, now published for all to read!
1. Chancellor Neighsay - His racist and disrespectful remarks about non-ponies and his belief that they cannot attend school because of their species make my blood boil. Even though he realized the error of his ways, I simply cannot forgive him for the absolute bigotry that he has displayed.
Have you ever heard a question that was idiotic from someone that should know better? I'm sure we've all been there. You and a few folks possibly good friends are sitting around. Maybe you've had a couple. Maybe the game is on or you're playing a game of some sort. Then from out of nowhere someone asks that question. Everything grinds to a halt and one or more of you have to explain to the questioner the answer.
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)
If you still remember the blog I made nearly a month ago that I took down all of my future story ideas, you can tell that I'm still empty and depressed right now. Not because of writer's block but the fact I have to learn the truth about how the story can catch people's interest. And not only that, the 78 stories (Including the deleted ones) have me use the same characters from time to time. You may not see that as an issue but it is when I figure it out.
A few days ago, I was rewatching "School Daze" to give the episode some more thoughts, because there is quite a lot to see in it and a lot that invites you to deeply think about it. One sentence in particular stuck out to me:
"Everypony should be prepared to defend our way of life."
Yesterday, I had something happen to me that got me thinking, about My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and about the reception it gets in the fandom and I decided to talk a bit about it. Afterthoughts on the Finale will still come next week, but today, I want to talk about something else.
The season finale has arrived..... And, wow, was this an INTENSE Finale! I hardly know where to begin..... Cozy Glow turning out as a villain and as plain evil, Chancellor Neighsay turning out as the lesser evil and even getting overthrown by Cozy Glow, Cozy Glow's brilliant and flawless plan where she thought on absolutely everything, how she got everypony on her side by simply acting charming, nice and adorable, Tirek as evil mentor pulling the strings from the background, the initial
Here are some afterthoughts on "School Daze", the Opener of Season 8. I'm publishing this after my general review of the episode, which I won't copy over here to not postpone this blog entry, but you can find it on Deviantart if you want to read it.
