Something that I've been thinking about recently, if the show was going to kill a character for real(Not someone introduced in the same episode they die in like Sombra), who do you think it'd be, how would they die, and how would the show handle it?

The problem I have with the thought is that I don't know how they wouldn't just repeat the message from Tanks for the Memories since that episode is basically about handling a pet's death, but substitutes death with hibernation. I had this thought due to how I couldn't really see Granny Smith die since I can't help but see an episode about her dying being Tanks for the memories but with the Apples instead of RD and Tank and with a character actually dying.

Well I'd say that if they were going to kill off any non-villain character, it would probably be Granny Smith. Or Celestia, because Mentor Occupational Hazard is a very common and dangerous thing. But neither one is likely to happen. If they could get away with flat-out killing off someone, I'd imagine they would have used that for the plot of a Tanks For The Memories type of episode {Though not necessarily with RD and Tank} instead of just using crap loads of subtext.

Yeah, Tanks seems to be the show's way of handling the death of a loved one.

Though maybe how they kill a character wouldn't necessarily be the focus of the episode, but more of a part of an episode. Like having someone die in battle.

Honestly. Tanks is my favorite episode of the season so far

Tanks is up there for me. As is Amending Fences. Still haven't seen past Amending Fences, though.

Still haven't watch Princess Spike, still happy. smile I just don't wanna waste my time with that episode. Not cause it sounds bad, but because it sounds painfully mediocre.

I find all 3 of RD's Season 5 episodes to be excellent. Ever since the otherwise pretty bad Mare Do Well, she hasn't had a bad episode after that IMO.

Yeah, I've been using "Still haven't watched x, still happy" recently. That and "or something" and I've been wanting to use "Here's where it gets, really stupid."

That was a good one.

Did you see Cox N' Crendor's last two episodes? The Scorch Trials one and the one after with the "green cheetah" lady?

Back to the death question, the only reason I could see for this show to kill off a character is if the characters voice actor/actress dies and they can't find a suitable replacement.

The only realistic way I could see a character dying is if it's some obscure relative that a character would logically be attached to, but hasn't actually appeared so far. I.e. like Pinkie's grandma. We have a reasonable assumption that Pinkie has a decent relationship with her, but she also hasn't appeared before, so it won't cause any shakeups in the existing cast in the way that, say, Granny Smith's death would.

[up][up]I doubt that would happen unless some sort of horrible accident or disease kills them.

[up]Eh, I dunno if I'd care for that, honestly. Sure it'd probably affect Pinkie, but I doubt the audience would be too affected since they've only really heard of Pinkie's grandma. Having some sort of relative or friend we hadn't really seen before or are just seeing die would feel like one of those Very Special Episodes you see in sitcoms.

Besides, I thought that Pinkie's grandma was dead already.

Oh, woah you're more behind than I thought you were. You haven't even gotten to their first Maze Runner episode, IIRC.

I'll get there eventually. I have We Hate Movies and Film Sack, a podcast that isn't as vulgar as WHM, but it's a damn good podcast.

I haven't listened to much of Film sack. I tried but I don't think I could get hooked on them.

I started Nightvale a while back and need to listen to more of it sometime.

It's what happens when you listen to WHM a lot, FS is gonna feel off but I love listening to those guys. At one point, I listened to FS more than WHM.

I tried listening to another film related podcast for a bit. I'm trying to remember their names. They did podcasts on Gooby and that Marmaduke movie.
