Well, it's time for the mid season finale, again. Hey, at least this time we had no interruptions and it makes sense to stop here. The last time we had the show run in June and July, the schedule was so wonky that it was easy to forget there were episodes on, and I imagine the target audience had less interest. This episode actually got leaked twice, once without the background audio and then a few days ago it was aired in the U.K. on Tinypop (which aired the last three episodes of Season 6

With just two episodes to go to the mid-season finale, this school theme is finally coming back into play. And it's just to introduce a character we already know is going to be the antagonist for the finale, and it's not focused on any of the student six.

With Season 7 having concluded and a Season 8 confirmed, the IDW comics once again had to tide fans over during a hiatus as rumors and speculation abounded. The main series opted for an indirect followup to "Marks and Recreation", meanwhile the Legends of Magic series was continuing its overarching story that it had started in just the previous issue.

With the movie finally being released in theaters, Season 7 of the show wrapping up, and the main series comics deciding to devote an issue following up on "Secrets and Pies", the Legends of Magic series decided to change things up a little.

From here onwards until their final issue this past March (their annual in April involved an AU with

Today is Andrew Francis' birthday, he is the talented young man who voices Shining Armor, though as of now the character has yet to appear in any episodes of Season 8. And combined with his lack of an appearance in the movie, it marks the biggest period of absence for the character since Season 4 (where he did not show up at all or be mentioned until "Equestria Games").

And so we come to the first (and perhaps only) Spike episode of the season. One of the biggest details about it was leaked months in advance, and this episode was among the leaked ones. Josh Haber was already revealed as this episode's writer, but despite being story editor for the season where Spike stopped being a butt monkey, he doesn't really have a track record for Spike focus episodes. Considering the track record for Spike episodes with him in the spotlight tend to be really weak for the

This was supposed to be posted back in April, but it completely slipped my mind until now. Anyway, I have now been on the site for over six years. And as usual, I'm celebrating by hosting a Q&A session. You can ask me anything you want, the only limitation is that you can only ask up to ten questions.

Well, considering the number of times they've tossed a Hearth's Warming episode at us, and gave us a second Nightmare Night episode a few seasons back, it was inevitable they'd throw out a second Hearts and Hooves Day episode. Nick Confalone is in the writer's seat for this episode, and now we know that the season is gonna right through "Mean Six" before it hits the mid season hiatus we've been getting for the past several years. Nick Confalone's track record is mostly solid, but between "No

Today is Kelly Sheridan's birthday. She is the talented woman who voices Starlight Glimmer, and also has been the voice of reoccurring characters like Sassy Saddles and Misty Fly, among others.

Among her other voice acting roles, however, Kelly was also the voice of Scarlett Witch in X-Men: Evolution.

Happy birthday, Kelly. Starlight's been on a role so far this season, and I look forward to a hopefully bright future for her in starring roles.
