Appropriately enough for an episode with a B plot, this week is an FiCG double feature! Click here for the previous installment, a card blog featuring concepts from the Triptych Continuum. Or read on for further exploration of the SS Sugarmac

Didn't we just establish this ship a season ago and never discuss it again up until now? Either the synopsis is a lie or I am gonna be upset.
Also different format for this review, since I didn't watch the stream and can pause this one to do my thoughts on it in sequence. I was waiting to watch it at EFN but the commentary panel is an older episode (and on "Stranger Than Fanfiction" of all eps, blegh).
When I saw the title, and who the main focus was gonna be,?all I thought was:
“Oh no. This is gonna be one of those episodes. An emotional roller coaster ride.”
Well, I’m a masochist, so I went deep in to the story.
Hang on, I must be imagining this. Did Spike shipped Discord with Fluttershy?!....
....I honestly don’t know if that relationship will work out. Brawny made some convincing arguments on why that is not the case. But hey, I could be wrong.
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)
Here are my Afterthoughts for "The Break Up Break Down"! A little bit less than in other weeks, but there are still some interesting observations to be made:
And with this episode we get to see, just like that, another Hearts and Hooves Day! This isn't something I did expect to happen. The last, and until now only, Hearts and Hooves Day we have seen in the show was way back in Season 2 and with five seasons without a Hearts and Hooves Day episode, I really didn't think we would ever get another one.
But now we got one and what a deep episode it even was! This episode has three different, deep plotlines.
