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.

- Oh, okay. There IS a reason. The rest of the pegasi were doing other events. Huh, makes sense.
- So, yeah good reasoning for RD to be on that team.
- So, could Twi compete in it? Give them an extra flyer? Or is she going in for one of the Unicorn events?
- Okay I normally love Pinkie but... even for me, she's getting a tad annoying in this one.
- Ohh pretty place
- wait was that.... yeah Griffons.
- YAY Flitter and CC!!
- Wonderbolts recognizing RD, RD not fan girling. Nice. Though not sure I like Fleetfoot's voice.
- Wait, is that a Pegasi Doctor Hooves.. with a different Cutie Mark?
- Hooves... hold.... how.. stick... HOW!?
- Oh, for pony's sake, RARITY BAD PONY! NO!
- Soarin.... how are you a Wonderbolt?
- And RD to the rescue!
I have a feeling the only reason Bulk Biceps (...do ponies actually have "biceps"?) was in this episode was the Rule of Funny. If they had any other pegasus like Thunderlane, Raindrops, Not-Wildfire, or even Derpy they couldn't get the same "Lawl over-muscled pony with tiny wings" jokes.
You there! Check out my Youtube Channel! The power of Ponies compel you!- And yeah, Wonderbolts are not coming off to good looking here. At least they have a good reason for wanting RD, given Soarin went and, well, again, why are you a Wonderbolt? But they are acting way to slimey about it.
- Do like RD's handling of it though. But, again, Wonderbolts, stop, your being assholes.
- Nice training montage. and.. wait..what? Holy shit how, how can... on their wings.. with... not just the strength but, how can they BALANCE like that?
- Pit stop.. wait RD, what happened to not liking anypony touching your hooves?
- you know, I really can't blame RD, those two... yeah they, well their trying but.....
- Yes Rarity, To much
- And RD the quick change artist
- And Twi caught ya.
- And how did you NOT see that coming RD? You better do what's right. Yeah Fleetfoot has a point, was a jerk about it, but has a point. But still...
- Again I really... can't fault RD here, she's handling it damn well. You can tell she'd conflicted, understand why she's tempted, but, she... yeah good job on her. Not so much on the Wonderbolts.
That is Crescent Moon,this is not his first appearance.

ALL THAT YOU ARE IS A FACE IN A MIRROR,IL CLOSE MY EYES AND YOU'LL DISSAPEAR.- Anemometer returns, neat.
- And we see RD made her decision. But, really, acting like that? faking it? I mean yeah I get why she doesn't want to just tell them but, that makes it worse, PLUS... how the buck are they NOT going to find out the instant you fly with the other team?
- Yeah Rd.... you SUCK at faking injury....
- wait... or is she just trying to fool BOTH teams, and get out of having to choose.... that... huh, that is actaully something I did not see coming. Though don't think Twi's buying it.
- Pinkie.... what the fuck?
- Yeah Twi ain't buying it, and AJ... ummmm, what's with the sudden need to shove food down everyponies throat? Pinkie... gaaahhhh
- Replacement wh............DERPY DERPYDERPYDERPYDERPYDERPYDERPYDERPYDERPY DERPY!!!!!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSS!!!!!
- Yeah Twi, good job and, wow, LOVE IT! Love Twi's little remark. Not calling her out, not confronting her just, letting her know she knows, and giving her a bit of advice, just leaving it to RD..... Very nice
- Also.... DERPY!!
- AAAAAND, Plot twist. Also, wow yeah the Wonderbolts are REALLY coming off bad in this.
- And there's the rainbow effect
- And live reaction paused due to needing to call an ambulance.
Geez, what happened?

Plus, there's the intimidation factor since A) Luna is a princess and B) she's kind of a sore loser

- Hell yeah RD!
- Pinkie... That is a really good question from AJ.
- Wait, did they just, Derpy shrug. So awesome!
- And she's ba-ack!
- Was that... was that DERPY screeching like that?
- Nice message, still don't like how the Wonderbolts came off in this ep but... Way to go RD.
- Twi... you.. what.... though nice moves Bulk
- And, wait, how do they know they qualify? Unless they were the last team to go, but then, what's with the red zone on the stop watch?
- Wait, why are there five teams there? Were there only five in the first place? Or, did two tie and so both get to go?
- Better question, why are they having a ribbon ceremony for qualifying?
- And, RD gets her key. Or whatever the relationship is.
- Overall, damn good. Not quite Rarity Takes Manehatten but close. Loved everything with RD and Twi. Pinkie was annoying, even for me. Really don't like how it protrated the Wonderbolts, but still, not as bad as I feared it would be. And, of course.
- DERPYDERPYDEYPDERPY ALL HAIL THE RETURN OF THE DERPY ONE!!!
I can report that I did not fall today, although I did spill some dog kibble on the floor which Luna ate up. Going on to the episode itself, I liked it pretty much, and I enjoyed the return of Derpy, who I think is Adorkable and cute. I like the way the rainbow shine thing occurred, because it was used in a way that actually would create a rainbow shining effect in real life; that is, light shining through a prism of some sort (in this case, a jug of water). At first I had the Fridge Logic thought of "Why did Bulk Biceps choose an event that would play to his weaknesses rather than his strengths?" And then I thought that perhaps he wanted to try something that would be more of a challenge, possibly to prove that he could compete at an event that required speed and agility rather than brute strength.
By the way, I wasn't sure what an Apple Brown Betty was, so I looked it up and found this recipe if anyone else is curious what it is, since Applejack kept feeding them to other ponies throughout the story.
