A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.

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!

Well. That was cute, some funny moments, princess stuff used for something, all good, moving on.

Yup, I miss the low key.

BTW, was Pinkie working at the fast food place or just eating there? The neck tray is probably just for customer convenience.

Also, how many unique fillies and colts were there today? The pic I posted above has several new ones.

I wondered about that. It seemed like the entire class was there, so I figured there must have been some new faces in the crowd.

There was a fat little filly with glasses, and a Fry-from-Futurama lookalike.

She has done something productive all day.

I hope we see more of these abilities developing in future episodes. I wonder if Scootaloo is becoming a bit of a mechanic, what with her learning how to reassemble scooters in this episode.

Well, if that's her special talent, one would expect maintenance to factor into it.

In other news I just watched the "Fionna and Cake" episode of Adventure Time. That was... a thing.

The most accurate summation I've ever heard. You've certainly got a way with words there JT.

But all things considered Ice King did a pretty good job of storytelling up until the end.

@jT. Didn't like it?

Also, anyone think it might be a bit of a stretch to think DT and SS were actually trying to be nice? Perhaps after realizing their bulying just wasn't ef felost it's effect after Flight to the Finish, maybe they're ttrying to hang with the others out of anything else to do? Just in their own way they can.

[up]Oh, I thought it was hilarious. They did a good job of making the characters seem like themselves even with the genderswap. Kinda weird that Jake turned into a Sassy Black Woman, though.

As for DT and SS the way I see is that their actions in this episode didn't really have much to do with being nice or mean to the CMC. They simply saw the CMC and their connection to Twilight as the means to an end and tried to exploit it. They weren't actively malicious (outside of locking the rest of the class out of the pool), but they weren't really trying to bury the hatchet either. They don't really like the CMC to any degree, but they don't go out of their way to antagonize them so much anymore. But trying to be nice? No, not really.

@Dark: Personally I thought they were just using the CMC to get closer to Twi, and gleefully tossed them to the angry mob when they inevitably refused to play along.

I absolutely think that's a stretch. They were pretty clearly mocking the Crusaders until they realized they had connections to the princess. Which really, you two are just now figuring that out?

[up]To be fair, DT and SS don't really interact much with the CMC outside of school (whenever they bother them, their usually alone) and they don't really have much reason to pay attention to that stuff.

Speaking of Adventure Time, just finished Mystery Train. Ehhh, kinda tedious with this episode.

I think so far, Root beer Guy was my favorite episode this season. I love a well thought out Background charcter story!

So, what I took away from this episode is that Pinkie apparently works at a fast food restaurant.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

@JT. I think your right next to What was Missing? which iis a great character focus episode. And Princess Cookie which is in season 4 is my favorite background character episode.
