Happy New Year! Let’s start it right. And by “right,” I of course mean “with trading cards.”

One could argue that I should be doing something from the main comics, but I feel the holiday special counts.

My apologies for the delay, everyone. Still, better late than never, and if I haven’t missed a Sunday for more than three years, I’m not starting now. Let’s get to it.

Between hearing things and Pinkie Pie, this week’s theme appears to be insanity. Let’s see how nuts it gets.

And now we've gotten more to dissect. I just said on Friday how this was the last analyzis for a while and now there's already new stuff!
The synopsis for Episode 10 has been released and, wow, it sounds exciting! I'll talk about it after the break (hopefully, because I have no idea if these lines are enough):
