A couple weeks ago me, Prane, and Gulheru all got together to discuss The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone, and I... uh, never considered mentioning it to you guys directly until just now.

I... I think I'll live... but Crisis is officially departing from canon as of this episode. My gryphons (not griffons) are not going to be rewritten just to fit this whole Griffonstone thing. Sorry. Or "you're welcome," as the case may be.

Anyway, this is my favorite episode so far. At least for this season, it's really hard to compare new episodes with old ones, at least for me. So I'm going to do what I do best and ramble. Fair warning to you.

Gilda: Holy shit! Your teeth!
Pinkie: Oh, don't worry! It happens all the time! *closes her eyes and concentrates real hard, her teeth shards falling out and regrowing perfectly* See! Ta-da! Neat, huh?
Gilda: [soundless scream of horror]

Griffons. We've known they were a thing since Season 1. We saw hints of them last year. Now we finally have the worldbuilding we've been speculating about, and…

Well, it certainly wasn't what I was expecting.

Is it just me or is the crystal map version of Charlie from Charlie's Angels who summons a couple of ponies to do some friendship quest kind of dumb? No seriously, outside of the first mission they went on the map is kind of dumb. The first mission they met up and broke up the pony version of the Orwellian town and restored individuality to the ponies there (at least for awhile). This was a good mission. It was a mission well worth taking. After that though, not really quite so

Frenemies Talk, Chapter VII: The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone

With a slight delay this week, but we are here. Perhaps we are not enough to mend the pain over the lack of episode this Saturday, but we shall try our best as we discuss treasures, Gilda, Harmony and some other insignificant stuff when compared to the Idol of Boreas. Who's with me?

Oh...? Alright, hide the torches.

Ah, Ch.11(Closure). For a while, I considered this to be the best chapter of The Bonds of Love, even better than the Smolder and Mount Aris chapters. It’s not hard to see why—Ch.10(Home) did most of the setup concerning Gallus’ feelings toward Griffonstone, leaving Ch.11(Closure) to ride that setup and finally discuss his and Gruff’s relationship—something I’ve wanted to address since the very beginning with A Day for Family.

Alternate Title: Griffonstone — For obvious reasons. I didn’t go with it since I still preferred naming the chapters after their main themes.

Ch.10(Home) is weird for me because even though it’s one of the best chapters of the story, I feel far more passionate for the next chapter. Though I suppose that’s only natural when this is clearly a glorified Part One to Ch.11(Closure)’s Part Two. And yes, that does mean this was another chapter split incident, as are the next four chapters.

You know Equestria must be one of the slimiest places to ever exist. Way too many of the residents there use their mouths to do things. Seriously, it's pretty gross when you think about it.

And we're back! Due to apparent word count limitations, this chapter's discussion required it be split into separate posts, and today I bring you the second half, containing the oh so tumultuous resolution to Gallus and Grandpa Gruff's fued. Let's not waste anymore time and get right on into it!

The Cutie Map - 5/5
A strong opener with a unique antagonist and a somewhat more complex story than the prior premieres and finales, and does a good job introducing the new mechanic of the Cutie Map.

Castle Sweet Castle - 5/5
An impressive episode with genuine emotion, that goes a long way toward helping me not hate the new castle.

Bloom And Doom - 4/5
