It's not too much of a spoiler i guess, you can see ruins everywhere in the backgrounds.

Man, I didn't expect them to actually get the Elephant. I like how they tend to subvert common plots.

Was it me or was J Ake acting a bit stupid though. He should have unstretched himself whenever they doubled back. I really hope he was doing that offscreen, but there's no indication of it.

Should I keep going tonight or leave it to tomorrow? How many more episodes to go? Also are there any you'd recommend skipping?

You watched in order right? If so, then you have Heat signature and Video makers left. Though if you want you can watch later and see the two parter season 2 finale, Mortal Folly and Mortal Recoil.

@Wryte: I'm fully aware of the backstory. I knew that before I had ever seen an episode of the show. I'm honestly kinda worried that I'm going to get to those episodes and be sort of "Eh" because I've heard so many times how amazing they are. I'm going to try to finish S2 tonight. I'm up to the tandem war elephant episode.

Wow, we're almost at the same place then. I just finished the Videomakers, and I guess this is the first mention of the war. Also, I'm wondering why LSB even needs a seat. And I continue to wonder how Beemo eats.

I been listening to some The Mysterious Mr. Enter.

I now highly regret it.

Complains too much without offering an objective critique.

Just finished the season 2 finale. Well that was interesting. I think there was a bit of an animation bump too.

Of course ,I've already had [[PB's abrupt reageing]] spoiled.

You can skip most of season 1 though. I'd recommend skipping parts of season 2.

When I watch shows I tend to binge, so I would clear a season of Adventure Time in like two days.

I'm not finding any major problem with Season 4 of My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic so far. I do not think Pinkie's been flanderized or ruined at all. I just see it as her being more random than usual, and episodes like "Pinkie Pride" balance out her other awkward moments. All them bronies better simmer down.

Okay, I watched through "Heat Signature". I'll watch the season finale tomorrow.

@Shota: Yeah, I don't think it's been bad either. Yeah, "Filli Vanilli" bobbled Pinkie a bit, but it's no worse than how she was handled in earlier episodes. She's always been a bit one-dimensional in her non-focus episodes. Which is an issue, but it's one that's been part of the show since the beginning.

[up]Mainly people complaining about the fact that outside of episodes where she's a primary character, she tends to be comic relief and not do much else. Which is a valid critique, but one that's been present since season 1. It's mostly due to the fact that so far this season she's been portrayed as a Genki Girl without many other aspects of her personality getting much focus. Aside from "Pinkie Pride", she's basically been a comedic character.

Pinkie doesn't always need to embody her Element all the time, and she doesn't always need to make everyone smile! If she did, she'd be a reality-warping God (Haruhi?). Lauren Faust herself made it very clear these girls have bad flaws, and they battle with them in order to either learn a lesson or just show some of their bad sides once in a while to remind us that they're not always bright, girly, tea-partying role models. I don't chalk it up to Depending on the Writer. I trust they communicate with each other and know what they're doing.

I'd say it's now getting a litle ugly out of double standard since it made Flutters cry.

Yeah, honestly it's mostly just people overreacting to Pinkie in the latest episode. After she gets another episode where she has more depth most people probably won't care. I honestly still think she was worse about it in "A Friend In Deed".
