A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.

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!

Wait, they said she was leaving Ponyville? My stream got a bit iffy at the end, but I never heard that.

She was going to stay in Manehatten for a while to design the costumes for the guy's next show in exchange for the extra show.

Buuuuuut then her competitor's assistant defected to her, and she gave her the job instead and went back o Ponyville.

in other words, no. She's staying in Ponyville.

Rare is going away from Ponyville.

Got rainbow thread.

Totally NOT a key for the dang box they keep talking about

Episode rating: It was a'right.

[down][down]I know... now. Still would have been a good Face–Heel Turn Plot Device.

It's symbolism. Each of the threads were a different color... matching up to each of her friends.

Also, she's not just dumping the workload onto her new intern, as you guys show it. She is keeping her in Manehattan as a go-between at this point, providing her with the designs for the show while she whips them together quick (as was established by Little Miss Former-Bitch-Boss).

[up][up] She's not going away. Last-minute status quo assertion is keeping her in Ponyville.

[up] Wouldn't a rainbow-colored thread be almost impossible to work into a design while looking good?

Honestly I don't see why Rarity couldn't stay in Manehatten for just a little while longer. If she can hash out a winning line of clothes overnight it shouldn't take that long for her to design clothes for his next show.

That was a very heartwarming episode. Shows just how much Rarity can change other ponies for the better.

And Cath's using the same voice she does for G3 Rarity. waii

Okay, that's what I thought. Then people started acting like she was actually leaving, so I wondered if I missed something.

And yeah, that would be interesting, but it would honestly kinda suck because it would basically take her out of the show for a while.

Anyway, as usual Rarity has a pretty strong episode. It did a good job of exploring the implications of what being generous really means, and I like the fact that they brought up the fact that having one blowup doesn't necessarily reflect a person's personality as a whole. One of the strongest episodes of the season thus far, IMO.

Irish: Advice for dodging inopportune ads: refresh at the start of a commercial break. I think the timer is every 15 mins, but forcing the ad to trigger during commercials should make it so that it never cuts in during the show (that's what I do and it hasn't failed me yet).

@Crimson: They're clearly foreshadowing RAINBOW POWER that Hasbro was planning on marketing, it's already cropped up in the latest wave of blindbags.

Hey wait a minute... wouldn't Rarity's gift be... a plot thread?

There must have been a large amount of explosions for Rarity to enjoy the show

I wasn't aware Rarity liked explosions that much. tongue

Okay, let's take stock of all the end-of-episode things that may or may not be important later on. We have the box and keys, the Shadow Pony, the CMC flag-carrier brigade, Fluttershy's latent vampirism, possibly something from Daring Don't that I'm forgetting, and now this special rainbow spool of thread. It's all starting to come together now...

So what, she's going to just abandon that dude she promised to make costumes to? Or have I missed something?

@Enlong: High level fashion looks ridiculous. Rainbow thread would be right at home.

@Luminosity: She ended up passing the job to that other pony. We don't really see exactly how she handled the arrangements.

That was a very strong episode. The dialogue was fresh, we got a nice scope with some new characters,two fairly decent songs, and the Mane Six being good friends and understanding that they shouldn't just leave Rarity and stuck it out because she needed their help.

Not the best of the rarisodes, but once again, she brings out the best in the writers.

I guess I just don't know fashion. It just seems that you want thread to blend in, so a rainbow thread would have to be against a similarly patchwork-color garment to do so.

Yeah, I wouldn't say it's Rarity's best episode (that's either Dog and Pony Show, Green Isn't Your Color, or Sisterhooves Social), but given that Rarity episodes tend to be really good that's not really much of an issue.

Ah, she left the job to that assistant fully. I for some reason thought she was going to take her as her own assistant. Oh well, then this is a completely great episode.
