[up] Is this done by the pillowpet dudes? Because there seem to be a lot of "innovations" involving stuffed/plushy animals.

i love how the commercial implies tht you can wear those outside.

yeah, i can pretty much guarantee that no one who buys one of those things will be wearing it in public. [lol]

And you know it's not like it didn't make the episode better. The alternative is drawing out the conflict for 10 more minutes or realistically having Fluttershy stay back while the Breezies had an Offscreen Version Of Awesome migration, which just wouldn't have the same emotional impact. Though I'd prefer it if they didn't come up with an excuse and just said that Fluttershy wanted to go with them to make up for the time she'd cost them. That would justify the transformation enough.

Rhyme: I just wish they would've foreshadowed it a bit more other than Twilight literally sticking her head in and going "oh, I have a spell for this" despite not really being relevant for the rest of the episode. Like if they had shown her at the beginning studying up on breezies in anticipation for the migration they could've played it off as "I came across this while studying breezie magic" or something.

But yeah, I agree that the Twilight Ex Machina wasn't that big of a deal, because that wasn't the conflict. The conflict was Fluttershy realizing that sometimes being nice to someone is the worst thing you can do for them if what they need is a shove in the right direction. It was more of an epilogue than a resolution. Though it was still kinda forced that they needed to add the extra bit of "oh no, they need more help!" rather than just sending them on their way.

Yeah, that would have been better. Maybe Twilight doing a part of Ms. Exposition alongside Fluttershy and reading from a book about Breezies would have been better.

So how difficult is to download Fighting is Magic? I'm not asking for a link, just if anyone knows how long it took them.

@Rhyme: Regarding the latest episode. (Aye, missed it. Chores got me this time.)

Kinda tempted to make an OC section on the troper page of mine, but am unsure if I should... Darn changelings... wish they wouldn't jump me when I'm at rest...

This season looks to be full of Fluttershy and Applejack, moreso than the other ponies.

Actually there's only been three Fluttershy episodes, and none announced as of yet. We're in for a lot more Applejack though.

I've heard people criticize the transformation of the mane 6 into Breezies factors as part of the "just to sell toys argument. I don't get this because, um, they're not selling mane 6 Breezies! From what we've seen released, the Breezies are gonna be the equivalent of the pets packed in with brushables. If they're not even selling mane 6 Breezies, then the argument doesn't really hold water in regards to the transformation.

So, its like the time that one little girls toy cartoon had an episode entirely about making dresses for a fancy party, and none of those dresses appeared in the toyline? What a hack of a cartoon ''that'' was, sheesh!

So that was an average episode. Sea Breeze was an awesome character though.

Funny that FS would talk about them feeling like she abandoned them, meanwhile it pans over all the normal animals she abandoned.

Also, where did the pollen sacks go? Wasn't that the entire point?

Wait, was that Dr Whooves with 3d glasses? Also, why do I get the feeling that the only reason they turned into Breezies was to sell toys?")

[up]The thing is that as far as what has been shown of the upcoming toys, they're not selling them. There are no mane 6 Breezies. There are mane 6 brushables packed with a Breezy but no mane 6 Breezies.

i wonder if this episode will provide a new silly facial expression for the fandom to latch on to.

Fluttershy seemed to make bedroom eyes at the most inappropriate moments.

OY VEY, SEA'S GONE!

Why did they even have a door in the eyehole? What possible purpose could that serve?

Seabreeze is a dude, apparently.

I thought she was female too. She certainly doesn't sound male.

Wow, that Doctor Who reference.

What was the reference, him being with Rose?

Brian Drummond was Seabreeze. I don't know how to feel about that. Obviously, they changed pitch of voice but...

Such Fluttershy. Wow.

I like the avatar.

and a flower.

Also, apparently key items magically change size with the wearer. Would have been really funny if they tried to use a milimeter sized flower on the lock.

We're gonna have a week of tone policing bullshit.

Tone police?

Spike accidentally caused a group of Breezies to get stranded

To be fair, it was an accident waiting to happen. Leaves fall all the time.

The actual definition of this is a fallacious argument

So that's what that is. Sounds stupid and not really connected to the episode.

Any idea what their home dimension is like?

Well it has castles and waterfalls. And everything is Breezy scaled, obviously.

Canterlot Wedding is certainly a rival there

ACW gets a pass because it had a completely unexpected plot having nothing to do with the toys and it was awesome.

I gotta ask, how does one tell a male and a female breezy apart?

Interrogate them and then hit the search button.
