A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.
All of the usual forum rules
apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

The way I see it is that there are legitimate complaints about FIM's worldbuilding, but the breezy thing is definitely not one of them.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayWelcome Starscream. How goes today? Also, don't mind me... I always looked dark and holey...
Favorite Fluttershy Episode: Putting Your Hoof Down
Favorite Twilight Episode: Lesson Zero
Favorite Rarity Episode: Suited For Success
Favorite Applejack Episode: The Last Roundup
Favorite Rainbow Dash Episode: Sonic Rainboom
Favorite Pinkie Pie Episode: Pinkie Pride
I usually don't like Pinkie Pie episodes, I prefer Pinkie being a funny background event. Up until this season, that's been consistently funny and enjoyable. Pinkie Pride was the only Pinkie Pie episode I actually liked.

I really don't get why the toy commercial aspect should have any influence on the enjoyability of the episode. And a show should never stop introducing new stuff.
Also, season 4 is way better than season 1. Take that, purists!
Whatever.
Best episodes
Season 1: Green isn't your Colour
Season 2: A Canterlot Wedding (Hurricane Fluttershy if two parters don't count)
Season 3: Sleepless in Ponyville

Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlaySo, good question, what's your alls guilty pleasure episodes? Ones that you know have fairly major narrative flaws, poorly done, but are still just enjoyable to watch for you?
Like I said, mine's Games Ponies Play. The narrative is a mess, but the individual scenes are just to amusing and entertaining to not enjoy.
@Starscream: Unfortunately, I've looked once in the mirror, and learned why the changeling didn't hassle me.
@Guilty Pleasure episodes: I do not think I have one, though the fact I kinda liked Putting Your Hoof Down would probably be one of those cases. Also the fact that Keep Calm and Flutter On was another episode I liked (which I think had controversy) is another iffy case.
@Seraphem: Only one I can think of off the top of my head is "It's About Time", which was chock full of filler, but also really fun to watch.
Reaction Image RepositoryI have no guilty pleasure. If I enjoyed an episode, I enjoyed it. None of this stuff about narrative coherence and continuous characterization is gonna make me feel bad about it.
If I did notice this stuff, then I didn't enjoy the episode, or I didn't enjoy that part of it. If I liked something else, then I liked that and there will no guilt involved.
Yeah, I'm weird about that. There are occasional times when that stuff doesn't bug enough to hamper my enjoyment of the episode.

I put my friend in a coconut! He lives in my hat! Hey, come hang out!

I thought the Beezies were a cool episode.
Also, I accidentally poured a ton of red pepper flakes on my food and now my mouth feels like a supernova.
