A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.
All of the usual forum rules
apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

@Dark: At the tail end she looks dead at the camera when she makes her comment about how the Apple Family are arguing, implying that she's talking directly to the audience.
Reaction Image RepositoryHey, welcome back to the thread!
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayHey. Just saw the episode. Predictable, but pretty good.
Wasn't expecting a river rafting trip. And it... kinda bugs me that they brought up the idea that Pinkie might be an Apple, but then didn't confirm or deny it at the end. Oh well.
http://h0useb0und.tumblr.com/She's already been an honorary family member since season 2 anyway.
Fight. Struggle. Endure. Suffer. LIVE.Dark- she says "hey, look at me." It's clearly intentional.
well she (and the others) never made a big deal about it. This time, it looks like it might be official, so Pinkie is really excited about the possibility of being an Apple.

http://h0useb0und.tumblr.com/Episode time!
- Pinkie Pie: Jenga Master.
- Isn't she reading that scroll upside down?
- Holy nuts, that's a serious claim coming from Pinkie.
- Oh god, AJ's face. XD To be fair, it's probably exactly how I'd react if Pinkie showed up on my doorstep with that news.
- Fourth cousin twice removed by a fifth cousin.
- So what does that make us?
- ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
- Seriously, though, how does that translate into relations?
- This is the best family ever! Awwww... :3
- Big Mac, we've seen you tow a house without flinching. What, do you keep your [[{Futurama}} Dark Matter]] reserve in that oven?
- Ponyville has its own species of snail? Fascinating.
- Dat Applejack smirk.
- Applebloom is totally stealing this episode.
- And now AJ's reading it upside down, too. When did they start sticking the little ribbon thing on the top of the scroll?
- That breath in the middle was cute.
- Okay, so clearly the twist here is going to be that they're not really related, but the Apples are still going to accept her anyway.
- Delayed smile. Cute.
- "Nooo..." XD
- AJ's worried about impressing Pinkie? Girl, you could show Pinkie a slice of cake on top of a slice of pie and it would blow her freaking mind. You're seriously over-thinking this.
- AJ, you do NOT doubt Big Mac's strength.
- Instant apple trees. Well, I guess that puts a nail in the Bats! argument.
- "Any cliche you can throw at me," best line.
- You'd think that as often as they have to rebuild the barn, rebuilding the cart would be a snap.
- YOU TRY THE PATIENCE OF BIG MACINTOSH, APPLEJACK.
- Red eye. They put red eye in the photograph. Damn, that some attention to detail!
- "...that doesn't answer my question, Pinkie."
- Big Mac: zen master. ...in a duckie floaty ring.
- The photo at the end was a great touch. I totally wasn't expecting the joke to keep going after the eagle.
- "Gooooot it!" Brb, laughing forever.
- Terrifying caves build character.
- "Eeyu-hey!" Damn, this episode just keeps 'em coming. XD
- Oh my god, that freaking eagle! XD XD XD
- Maybe now that they've lost the placebo wheel, they can confront the reality that they never had any way of steering this raft to begin with and they've been at the total mercy of the current this entire time.
- And here I was just thinking that it was amazing they hadn't gone over a waterfall yet.
- And now the duck's back. Guess the eagle couldn't digest the wagon wheel.
- And thus, Splash Mountain: Equestria was born.
- Wet manes for everypony! ...not sure how the umbrella helped, honestly.
- Consarn it, Big Mac! Y'all know if'n a first-born Apple says more than twenty words per episode, the family's ancient deal with the pony-devil for bountiful harvests will be broken!
- Is that a f%&king jaguar? XD
- Dustcat. XD
- Another jenga master. Welp, that seals it, Pinkie's family.
- Surprise mirror. Nice.
- Is that Daring Do's hat? Daring Do is an Apple, too?
- Ooh, terror cave picture! ...doesn't look that bad, actually.
- There certainly seem to be a lot of donuts around the house. More subtle hints that Pinkie is indeed family?
- Argue argue argue! Rabble rabble rabble!
Man, that one just kept the gags coming non-stop! The eagle and the jaguar take the cake, though. Seriously, I had to pause the video so I could finish laughing for both.
Oh, yeah, I was wondering about that. Then again, AB was able to summon a storm cloud in Call Of The Cutie.
If only Rarity could have come to fix stuff like that.
I did, though it was too fast for me to see if the eagle was there too.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayIt was a joke, Sera.
No, the eagle wasn't there at the waterfall.
Tulpa.
Apparently it's a Buddhist illusion created by mental power.

Yeah, at least there's evidence of him talking now, even if he never actually gets to say anything audibly.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayHe has talked normally in the show, y'know. In one of the early season 1 episodes (the Applebucking one) and when he lectured the CMC in season 3.
Fight. Struggle. Endure. Suffer. LIVE.Glad we agree.
@Sera: Well, maybe they just have to Sing the Trees?
Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.Plus it wasn't even visible in the actual photo.
I've been thinking about it a lot too lately, thanks to trying to write a Sci-Fi based fanfic. The problem is that there's just pretty much no possible coherent explanation for most of the stuff that goes on. Literary Agent Hypothesis explains away the sight gags, but even the parts that are explicitly canon are impossible to explain on a scientific basis.
It made me think a lot of Sisterhooves Social too. At least that's the last time someone joined the family, and they seemed outwardly perfect.
I thought he was explaining the function of her parachute vest. Seems pretty logical to me.
I noticed that too, but I only remember seeing one, and it wasn't anything scary.
What?
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayShe looked female to me. Though the name reminded me of Voldemort's nickname.
I don't see it either. I mean she didn't join the family infighting, but why would she? It was all just a fun roadtrip for her.
They showed a map, but the only thing recognizeable on it was Cantlerlot. Presuambly, they were going somewhere to the south.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayThis, so much.
She knows every pony in Ponyville.
I don't know about Japan, but I do remember her talking about a trip to China. She got to see a panda and said her life is now complete, which is really Harsher in Hindsight.
I was going to say Photo Finish, but I guess she did show up breifly in Rarity Takes Manhattan. Snips and Snails were in Flight to the Finish, Zecora was in the opener... wow you're right! I should have noticed, given how much I talk about the Mayor.
Well she's really close in the foreground and the rest of the scene goes out of focus IIRC. There's no way it wasn't intentional.

How d she break the fourht wall?
