I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

For the last several hours I've been working (slowly and lazily) on making windows 7 more useable. And by more useable I mean more like Elementary OS.

As much as I hate to admit it, Windows 7 does have a few features that Linux operating systems don't. For example, a stable connection to the wifi network, and the ability to check my laptop's battery level. It's been a few months now and I can't get that to work on any of my Linux setups.

  • Wow, the expression on her face, those are, damn they did a good job.
  • And of course RD can't wait and has to butt in. How did she get invited to talk about his anyway?
  • So is this just a Ponyville thing, or an every town thing? If the former, why only Ponyville, if the latter, why did Mrs. Harshwhinny come announce it herself? Or is she going to most of the major towns?
  • Snips, Snails, no just please no, just.. go away.. please.

As far as I'm aware, there has never been a Princess Star Swirl.

Fascinating. I must investigate!

As Storyyeller suspected, my fanfic has sequels (currently on the fourth story ... which has been jossed, but what ever). And yes, she's talking about the event of story three and four.

  • Okay I am LOVING the interaction between Harshwhinny and Dash.
  • Dash, even I'm telling you your going to far. Tone it the hell down.
  • Oh and nice way to oversell this.
  • Must maintain professionalism and control her emotions... whelp dash is screwed.
  • I kind of want to see the overly convoluted scoring system.
  • Well if they are going TO the empire, I'm guessing this is an all town thing.
  • Rootin-Tootin terrific? Please never use the phrase again
  • Okay, that line from Scoots was really really odd. "hearts as strong as horses?"
  • SONG! SONG SONG SONG SONG SONG SONG SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay the song. Not bad. The whole "hearts strong as horses" bit still sounds odd, but, good theme, nice lyrics beyond that, and the visuala. Oh sweet Celestia are are they REALLY upping their game on the look of things this season.

Plus. loved the Snowflake gag.

And ending on the assholes... well, let's see how they make me want to punch them in the face this time.

Ponyville Confidential wasn't enough evidence for that?

That said, yes. And it's great.

That was Comedic Sociopathy. This is more Kill the Unpopular Kids With a Dare They Can't Refuse Sociopathy.

They're bullies from an 80's kid's movie.

  • Well, just the standard crap about them being blank flanks... hope they get to the whole no flying thing quickly, don't want it feeling rushed.
  • Okay, the narration really needs some work, but aside from that, DAMN! That was pretty freaking sweet.
  • Wow, watching Dash struggling to stay calm is hilarious though, now we get a rather stupid mixed-message issue. At least this one does kind of make sense, though, not that much given it shold have been obvious from her reaction she liked it. It's not that bad but, still a tad annoying.
  • And now they are out right admitting they are engaging in psychological bullying just for the sake of it. Please let them get really really payed back for this.
  • Seriously.. they've done some bratty, bullying crap before, but this, this is crossing a line.

  • I, am kind of loving AB and Sweetie's reaction. They, just don't care that Scoots can't fly, not out of a not caring for Scoots way, but, in that it doesn't matter to them, they love as she is. They simply, don't see anything wrong with her. Though lets see how it goes when things get more serious cuase, with this set up, it's got to happen.
  • Yup saw the over training bit coming in
  • Okay this.. this is the first time they've ataully shown some major issues with each other and, it's really believable. You'd think them ditching Scoots because she really wants to fly would come off really dickish but, it makes sense. This isn't about her feeling bad, or unsure, or upset simply over not being able to fly, but simply focusing on JUST the act. Something they both feel was fine as is. I like they are addressing this but, so far, it's been a lot less feelsy then I thought this would be.

  • Okay NOW it feels a bit forced that they are acting like this. For what this is addressing it's really NOT looked at anything about what her not being able to fly means beyond JUST this performance......
  • Hell yeah RD!

Yeah the more appearances Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon have to more likely they would become Complete Monsters.

BTW I think that the Box will be opened at the Equestrian Games. (And that Pinkie will find the first key in Pinkie Apple Pie)

  • You and... pretty much the rest of the world Sweetie.
  • wait, waitwaitwait.. is this.. are we actually seeing Scoots home!?
  • And now we get the feels
  • That.... okay this is pretty amazing. They address her not able to fly, but, not in a permanently disabled way. At least, not for sure. It's now clear that she SHOULD be able to fly by now, so something is wrong, but still debatable if it's something permanent, or just, as she said, her wings have grown in yet. Either way, it doesn't matter to them.
  • Also, why the buck didn't one of you tell them WHO said that? Please, somepony fucking give those assholes what they deserve.
  • And they win he over with a song reprise, that... that is pretty damn awesome.

[up][up][up] Maybe when they get a scene that show who they are in other scenarios. But so far they seems to be playing the role of the Hate Sink, and it is every Hate Sink's job to eventually become a Complete Monster so irredeemable that they become The Scrappy almost unanimously

  • So yeah, Scoots now has a house, though no sign of parents.
  • She's going to pull them, all the way to the empire, and still be on time, and strong enough to so the routine? No way. I could maybe see Dash being able to do it, but, yeah that is WAY to huge a stretch.
  • Hell yeah! In your face jackasses.
  • And roll reversal. And that.. is a bit of a stretch for her to be geeking out THAT much, though it was funny.
  • Awww no Cutie Mark. Anyway next up final thoughts.

So who bets the series finale (or at least one possible finale) of the show would be the CMC finally getting there cute marks?

It, was pretty good. Not quite as awesome as I was hoping, and, I'd say my least favorite episode so far this season. Though still damn good, just not as good as what's come before. For touching such a huge subject like Scoots possibly being disabled, it, really didn't touch it that much. It just, skirted the edges of what that could mean, never fully explored or addressed it. It was to focused on the games bit to me. When it would have been better to focus on Scoots and what not being able to fly would mean, better explore the idea, give a more fulfilling answer.

How they did finally get to it, is pretty good. It's still not a sure thing she'll never fly, but it's possible, or it could just be she's a late bloomer.. very late. But that she isn't able to fly by now and it's odd is really made certain so that's good. Just, would have liked more exploring on THAT instead of ONLY on how her not flying effected this own event, rather then, you know, her entire life.
