I just read the summary for it...and...

I'm not looking forward to it.

I'm afraid Spike is going to come off as...immature. I mean, true enough, he's a baby dragon- but...I'm just so tired of everyone shitting on Spike's character. I hope that I'm wrong, and I hope that it'll be a good episode. What about all of you?

All I remember was the Manehattan representative saying "I worked forever on this bitch" about 6:30 into the episode.

Today's episode is such a nothing thing, I'm gonna talk about Slice of Life some more. My final, official stance on it, now that I've had a week or so for the butthurt to go away, is that it is a bad episode, but monumentally entertaining, and so it balances out. I love that Dr. Whooves has a solid character (really, it's equal parts insane and awesome), and Steven and Gummy were fantastic. My main complaints are not enough time being given to Cranky and Matilda's wedding (I

Ho boy I'm late this week, long story short I blame Fire Emblem Awakening and bad creepypasta didn't get to sleep till like five.

Anyway, onto the episode.

So, it starts with the Equestrian Summit, everything's explained about it's delegates from all across Equestria and there's a statue made of gems from all the city's, and if I might just say that statue...

Have I ever mentioned how much I hated Spike?

Because now that I think about it...yeah, I really hate Spike.

I mean, talk about a letdown. After last week's atom bomb extravaganza of an episode, I knew this one probably wasn't going to be anywhere near as satisfying. But...wow. This one really wasn't that good, and I blame Spike, of course.

So, I presently have two stories I'm working on: Princess Spike, which I post whenever I finish a chapter, and Empire of Mercy, a much longer-form story that will take a while to go anywhere. Princess Spike is of course already up, while Empire of Mercy will go up tomorrow morning.

I'm going to gloss over the reasons this episode sticks in my craw, not because I feel they're invalid per se, but because unless mine is the first blog or reaction post you've read since Saturday I guarantee I'll have nothing new to say on that front. "Princess Spike" was visually satisfying but narratively lacking, and unlike most episodes based around the "I got so caught up with (x) I failed to pay attention to (y)" premise, catastrophe (y) was so tenuously linked to protagonist action (x)

Oh... that's clever.

Frenemies Talk, Chapter IX: Princess Spike

Next episode with Spike. Enough said. Really enough...

What, you want more? What is more to say? It's Spike.

Fine, fine. Let's get to it. Perhaps alongside Luminary we might create a little conspiracy to remove this gullible reptilian from any place of power he wishes to occupy.

Spoilers below. Perhaps a hint of high treason as well.

Spike: Two delegates have speeches booked in the same hall! What do I do?
Twilight: No problem... just put the hay in the apple and eat the candle...
Spike: Twilight! Now is not the time to compose a Red Hot Chili Peppers song!
Twilight: [beatboxes a funky bassline with snores]

Well, there's not much to say about this episode, honestly. This was my face during the entire episode:

Not much to say here. My thoughts on Princess Spike

Spoilers. You have been warned.

Cerulean Skies was in this episode!

I'll let the big-name people do the actual analyses of this episode. I'll just point things out and hope I get some discussion. It was fun for Griffonstone, hopefully it will be fun here, too.

Like world-building, for example. Not only did Griffons get another drop in the bucket for Best Species with their awesome tiger-striped and hawk-beaked delegate:

But we saw more pony designs, like this mare:

The newest episode, until tomorrow, is Princess Spike. While this episode was a decent one, as Spike-themed episodes go, I believe it was a terrible choice to immediately follow Slice of Life. Of course, the producers of My Little Pony could never hope to top Slice of Life in popularity among Bronies, choosing to decline even a bit of effort to match it was detrimental to the show, as the statistics showed (Nearly half the number of viewers Slice of Life had). Once again, it wasn't that
