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!

Evening all y'alls.

[up]I haven't seen a whole lot of hate, but I generally stick around this thread. Only complaints I've seen about it are regarding the Wonderbolts sudden turn to dickery. I didn't mind too much, and I liked the episode overall.

Soarin' does seem to have become the Butt-Monkey of the Wonderbolts. Earth and Sky had him get kicked off because he was eating too much, some people have him crushing on Spitfire but unable to tell her his feelings, then there's this episode...

Speaking of episodes, who's excited for Saturday?

@Marston: I like it despite some of its flaws. I can understand some of the hate, but it can also get really nitpicky from what I've seen some people complain about.

It really wasn't that bad, I don't see why people would hate it.

So uh, am I the only one who finds Rainbow Falls to be an over-hated episode? Cause lots of people seem to be treating it like it's an abomination, and I don't get why.

I haven't been around the thread much lately, but as far as the skype group goes at least I was the only one who had a problem with it, and even I can't say I really hate it. It had severe problems, but it was still basically fun.

It was just kinda meh for me, especially following on the heels of Pinkie Apple Pie, which was so crammed with material that I had to pause the video thrre or four times to stop laughing the first time I saw it. RF had some nice bits, but it just doesn't hold a candle to PAP, and the lesson did feel poorly handled.

Just got done watching The Baader Meinhof Complex. It was hard to follow and surprisingly uncomfortable to watch at parts, and also way longer than I expected (almost 2.5 hours). But the scene that showed the culture clash between the German and Arab terrorists was pretty funny.

. Yeah, L Sp's a lot more likable in her later appearances as she takes a level in kindness and is more eccentric rather than a jerk.

Does her speech get less annoying?

Yeah, it does get WAY to much hate. It had it's issues, but some people... like every major MLP reviewer I've seen sans Silver Quills, is treating it like it's a freaking abomination.

I don't remember seeing any real bitching about Falls, a lot of comments I saw were actually quite positive, I thought.

In the next episode, I expect Pinkie and Cheese to engage in a no-holds-barred party duel in the climax.

Also, Pinkie and Cheese is a good name for a cop show.

This is why I don't really watch any dedicated MLP reviewers. They tend to start deliberately looking for things to pick apart rather than just watching the episode and seeing if it's enjoyable. You can't break it down to a list of flaws. You can have a flawed episode that's still fun to watch.

I been watching AwkwardReviewer, and he's entertaining to listen to. His watch of "Hurricane Fluttershy" is the best.

[up][up]That's kind of extreme. They may have genuinely just not found it enjoyable and the nitpicking came afterwards.

Question:

Is it normal for a Tumblr to do poorly during it's first weeks of life especially sice all you've posted was traditional hand-drawn sketches?

And on top of that, should I start drawing porn for it just to entice some viewers? Just an opinion.

In fact, I think there were one or two people here who listed it as their favorite.

I don't see the point of watching reviews.

Also, I think the Baader Meinhof Complex is probably a lot easier to understand if you already know about the historical events depicted. But I was completely lost.

Season 4 has mostly been pretty strong, as far as I'm concerned. Even the less good ones have had something worthwhile to them.

But then again, that's always been true of this show if you think about it. I liked most of season 3, and I thought season 2 was less consistently good overall. But there's always been a base level of fun that makes it all worth watching.

What do you consider the worst season so far?

marston Since: Sep, 2011
#43599: Jan 28th 2014 at 8:48:20 PM

[up]Season 3. It's not horrible and there are quite a bit of good episodes, but overall it also had a slump in quality {The exact cause of which I'm not sure of} and several of the episodes were weak IMO.
