TheBrianJ Reviews - Slice of Life, Episode 100!!! · 6:16am Jun 18th, 2015

You know what, no.

Normally I have an intro, then I launch into a discussion about the episode, and what it means to the show. But this time? I can’t friggin’ do that.

The episode was great. It made no sense, will likely not add much lasting effect to the story at large of the show, and honestly will just be remembered as a “the creators decided to have fun with episode 100” episode. And it worked! It was really entertaining and fun.

TheBrianJ Reviews - The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone, plus a question · 2:44am May 27th, 2015

So last week, I discussed how many characters have been one-and-done on the show, just appeared and never returned. I should mention that when it comes to antagonists, that’s something a lot more standard; one-time bad guys are common. I was stunned that Trixie returned and got a little bit of redemption, even if she did end the episode still being a jerk. Which is good.

TheBrianJ Reviews - Make New Friends But Keep Discord (and a discussion on MLP) · 3:37am May 20th, 2015

Oh damn son, the Grand Galloping Gala came back! It's like this show has continuity or something, but that can't be right because everyone knows that cartoons are just babby shows for babbys.

Things To Talk About: New Story/Review of Latest Episode/PAX · 3:38am May 11th, 2015

A few quick notes for everyone!

1) The story that I have been working on for months now is finally completed, and now in the hands of editors. It's gonna be an interesting one, I'm really curious to see the reaction to it. It is SO refreshing to have this story done, and I'm already planning out my next one. No ETA on when it'll be up, but we'll see, I guess.

Updates: Why the lack of stories/what's coming/amazing new cover art · 4:17am May 1st, 2015

First off, I want everyone to go look at the new cover art of The Diary of An Evil Pony. It was made by RinaSunshine, who did an absolutely amazing job with it. It's not featured on their deviantart page right now, but ALL of their art is amazing, you should go show some love!

TheBrianJ Reviews - Tanks for the Memories · 3:34am Apr 28th, 2015

So this was a pretty big episode. I thick there was a lot of hype going into it, just based on the subject material that it would be dealing with, not to mention that Rainbow Dash-centric episodes tend to have a sort of big-episode feeling to them. Let’s talk about Tanks for the Memories, which now rests comfortably in my Top 5 MLP Episodes Ever list.

Wait, that just gave away my opinion of the episode, but feel free to read on after Anger Horse, there’s more to it than that, I promise.

TheBrianJ Reviews: Castle Sweet Castle · 2:14am Apr 13th, 2015

Welcome to the second edition of that place where the reviews happen. After last weeks fun (and genuinely unsettling at times) premiere, we have the third episode of Season 5: Castle Sweet Castle. The one that would tackle one of the lingering questions from Season 4: how does Twilight feel about living in her new castle?

As usual, SPOILER WARNING. If you haven't seen the episode yet, please do not go any further than the horse wall.

TheBrianJ Reviews: The Cutie Map Part 1 and 2 · 11:16pm Apr 4th, 2015

I think that for this season, I want to make this a weekly thing; reviewing the episodes as they air. It gives me an excuse to just write a bit, because even writing blogs like this help keep me from getting rusty between stories. And I wouldn't mind expanding this beyond episodes: good fanfics I've read, video games, movies, books, particularly interesting trilobites I was reading about, anything! Now I just need a sexy header image and certainly my career as a guy on the internet reviewing
