After seeing this episode....I have great sympathy for those young fellows who take care of their elders regularly. It looks like a challenging prospect. Something I will have to learn about when my parents get older.
My "Oh, no" moment was when the grannies fooled Rainbow into believing they were going to take a nap, when they were just gonna sneak away as soon as RD is not looking. I can't blame Rainbow on this, seniors are very good at fooling us if we are not careful.
From an analytical perspective, I liked the themes on display and the conflict between the Golden Girls and Rainbow Dash. But from a base entertainment perspective, there was so much wrong with it.
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)
Imagine the least likely MLP crossover imaginable. One that would not even occur in fan fiction. One where the disconnect between the target audiences couldn’t be widened much more before you’d have to go either postmortem or prenatal.
That’s right, folks. We Golden Girls now. Just don’t ask me which one is Betty White.
A bit of a change of pace: From now on, I will combine my review of the latest episodes with the mock itself. Thus, before I get to mocking his “review”, my own two cents on the subject of “Grannies Gone wild”, the most unsubtle attempt of the writers of MLP to get crap under the radar.
You know when you think you can't like a character any more than you already do, because you're already at maximum?
And you know when MLP throw in shout-outs to other things, just because they can, like when the man himself had Twilight announce that Winter is Coming?
Three weeks after "School Daze", I finally saw my awesome Student Six again! Or, at least three of them..... Yona, Smolder and Sandbar were quite confused over Rainbow Dash geeking out for no apparent reason and without any explanation.
