Well...our equine friends have officially moved past mediocrity and settled firmly in the wide, wide world of Equestrian "meh." Though they aren't quite up to snuff as far as the perfect 10s are concerned, they at least had enough enjoyment to keep me interested for 15 of their 22 minutes. We're getting better, though, and fast on our way to the golden lands of incredible writing, excellent storytelling, and brilliant characterization. For now, though, we'll have to settle for the bland, grey

Our equine friends have offered up yet another platter of weak efforts...but, with a bit of a twist. As with the previous post, there are one or two good qualities about each of these installments. However, they are very far from being members of FIM's greatest hits. Heck, I wouldn't even put these in the best of the very kid-oriented G3 specials! That said, there are worse things on television. So, check 'em out if there's nothing (and I mean NOTHING) else to watch.

We've managed to climb our way past the very worst garbage FIM has to offer. Unfortunately, no amount of Febreeze protection, nor sanitation devices can save us from the dreaded...mounds of mediocrity! (DUN-DUN-DUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!) Anyway, these are the episodes that are miles off of where they should be, but there are one or two positive qualities poking through the undeniable rubble. Let's begin.

#209: Uprooted

Well, we've made it past the steaming piles of dreck to the not-as-offensive-but-still-pretty-darned-awful dreck. Dreck is dreck, but at least this dreck isn't as dreck-y (that's a technical term) as the other dreck. It had one or two semi-positive attributes while remaining wholly unessential to the rest of the series. SO LET'S EXAMINE SOME DRECK!

#216: Non-Compete Clause

Well...it's a tough job...and people have done it before (which is how I got inspired to make my own list), but...we must forsake all other pony-related goals in life until it is completed. I am, of course, kidding about that, but this is a lot tougher than I originally thought. Putting all 221 episodes of the powerhouse pastel pony palooza in order is a chore...a HUGE chore. In fact, as I write this entry, I still have 159 episodes left to rank. But, I have enough to begin, and begin we must.

Alright, everypony. This is kind of a doozy. In between updating my stories and putting new G5 reviews on here, I'm gonna be counting down EVERY SINGLE EPISODE of FIM. For those of you who were on my previous page, you know that I reviewed all the episodes, the specials, the movie, and all the Equestria Girls specials. I still have those archived in my computer notes, so...I'm gonna be endeavoring to offer my thoughts on all 221 installments of our favorite pastel pony adventure in countdown

...and we have arrived at the final episode of this chapter...er...season...er...set...er...whatever of Make Your Mark! In this episode, Sunny has a magical alicorn battle with Opaline, Sparky gets in danger...again, and there's a whole bunch of classic rushed storytelling to go along with it. So, let's talk about some colorful ponies already!

Ponies get sick. It happens. But, what happens when a royal pony gets sick and becomes the ultimate in high maintenance crankiness? This is a question that this installment attempts to answer. Their success rises and falls as the episode moves forward. But, it does have some nice moments, even amidst the mind gratingly rushed storytelling. So, let's not dilly-dally and talk about some frickin' sick ponies, dudes! (Please read the second half of the previous line in a mid-90s surfer

This episode has a good moral, yet a...somewhat poorly executed story. I'm always happy when MLP strays into the "pro-individuality" world, and that's exactly what they do here. What I don't like is that, once again, they've retreated into the idea that they have to go as fast as possible or they might lose their target demographics' attention. Oh, well. It's got a ton of ponies with a ton of unnecessary makeup. Let's get into it.

Hey, guys. Sorry about the radio silence here lately, but things have been a bit wacky in my personal life. I'm planning on getting Pegasi of a Father back up and running here shortly.

Hope everyone's doing well!
