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.

     Original OP text 
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!

@dark: she bolted through the obstacle course faster than RD and jackhammered a 10-foot boulder in half with her front hooves.

For clarification, what did she do exactly?

She ground a boulder to dust. With her bare hooves

@Dark: She also launched a large rock about twice as far as RD managed to, and then the rock exploded.

Man, Maud is pretty awesome. It's actually pretty nice to see a more introverted character around on a kids show.

And she makes basically the best straight mare to Pinkie ever. I really hope we get to see some more of her.

@Ace: Well, thanks, Mr. obvious. tongue

[up]Issue is, that means everything airs an hour earlier here, even though our time doesn't change.

@Syd: I think what he means is that DST ended up changing the time the show aired, so it messed up the time for him.

Well that all happened, again.

It's a good thing that they are family and her sister is so laid back, otherwise I don't think Pinkie and Maud would be that close.

Missed the first half trying to fix the pre-intro bit trying to fix the stereo system.

So that episode was... I felt pretty much as awkward as the mane cast trying to befriend Maud. That doesn't make it a bad episode and it had some cute and awesome moments but I was like..."ooookay".

Good thing I came back from my late evening stroll just in time to catch the episode :D

You could make a big rock candy mountain.

On another note, I wonder how long it'll be before people start making Boulder/The Boulder jokes.

Also, I wonder if they might have warmed up to each other better if they decided to take Maud hiking. You know, let her be in her element, let her flex her expertise. Well, unless all Maud ends up saying is, "That's a rock. And that's another rock. And that's a big rock."

i liked her a lot. Her Literal-Minded responses were great, and reminds me a little of myself, actually. And I like she's not a deadpan snarker, she's genuinely doing her best, she's just different about expressing herself.

@hiking. That would be great.

Yeah, I really liked this one. Normally I'm not big on Cringe Comedy, but I think this worked because it was everyone was so sincere about where they were coming from. It helps that Maud is like the perfect Straight Man with her deadpan approach to everything.

The other thing is that she's basically the perfect counterpoint to Pinkie. Not just because of the stoicism, but because for both of them other ponies have difficulty understanding their train of thought because their reactions to things are outside the realm of what most ponies would consider "normal". They're just at opposite ends of the spectrum. Pinkie is extremely overenthusiastic, Maud isn't enthusiastic at all, and in both cases it makes it difficult for the audience to know exactly what they're thinking.

yeah i liked that too. You could argue she's just as eccentric as Pinkie, just in the opposite direction. It helps she's sincere in her own way.
