The number one rule of reality: If Luna is competing in it, she wins. And even when she's not competing in it, she still wins. tongue

Luna is the best. Best princess, best pony, best operating system... not a very good web browser, unfortunately, but still. The best.

Oh noooo. Unikitty is a much more relateable sort of happy random, and her voice is more like the soothing babble of a brook than the shrieking of a rubbed party baloon.

All the Lunalunaluna is getting me sick of her, to be honest. She's cool, but there's been so much of her as of late I get kinda tired of her trouncing any other formerly popular ponies like Derpy.

Why apprehensive?

The idea of the episode being a vehicle for the goofy antics of a real-world comedian I don't find particularly funny. I don't know, I sort of find myself dreading the episode. Hopefully I'll be proved wrong. I have a track record of ending up liking the episodes I was most certain I would hate, so I guess I probably have nothing to worry about.

[up] She hasn't even done anything for like a year. I could stand a little more Luna, personally.

So, does anyone have any problems with Pinkie's portrayal so far?

And what would you do differently?

[up][up][up]Well I can't say I'm not expecting the same, but replace dreading apprehension with quiet resignation for me.

I'd make her a little more... realistic/dynamic in her range of emotions. Yes, once in a while she's sad or angry, but when she's sad she seems to go insane (party of one) and when she's mad is over the top to the point of being demonic (the last roundup). She needs to have days where she's just sorta mellow instead of hyper-happy, or be normal sad instead of super depressed.

Honestly, I'm not super-big into Luna, either, but I'd take her over Derpy any day of the week. Which isn't to say I dislike Luna, but I would still put her behind any of the main six and probably just a smidge behind Celly and Spike.

Honestly, it makes sense for Luna to have overtaken Derpy; Luna has an actual character within the show, so of course she'll get more attention.

@Ike:I'd kinda go that route. The thing is that Pinkie's tendency to react with extreme emotion is one of the hallmarks of the character. It would be interesting to address that in-show, with the other ponies having difficulty relating to her because she always goes so over-the-top.

Oh my God! We welcome Unikitty into the brony circle with open hooves! Everyone who wants to become friends is our friend forever! Plus, she reminds me SO much pf Pinkie Pie, and Pinkie Pie would fit right in in Cloud Cuckoo Land!

So just got done watching A Christmas Story. Can't say it was a good movie, but at least I can say I've seen it now. Overall I'd say it was mildly amusing. There were a couple times it made me laugh, but it mostly just dragged on. The one good thing about the movie was that it (for the most part) had verisimilitude.

I swear that must be a quote, but I'll be damned if google's turning anything up.

And even when she's not competing in it, she still wins.

So she's Fidelbaum?
