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.

Maud's super strength is entirely rock-focused. She has studied rocks so thoroughly that she instinctively knows every point of weakness in a rock's "body", and can prepare a perfect and devestating flight arc for any thrown rock within moments of picking one up.
It occurs to me that this episode is pretty thematically similar to "A Friend in Deed", but managed its ending better.
Also, I remember this thread speculated that Pinkie's perfect romantic partner would be super stoic like Big Mac or Gummy. The relationship between Pinkie and Maud seems to further support that theory.
In this fandom, everypony is gay/lesbian until proven otherwise.
I put my friend in a coconut! He lives in my hat! Hey, come hang out!There is no such thing as "proven otherwise"
True. Big Mac got "schmoopy-doo" with Cheerilee, and yet he's still shipped with Braeburn. And Caramel.
@Meta: The way this episode handled it was basically how I thought "A Friend In Deed" should've ended.
Reaction Image Repository... This episode... It hit uncomfortably close to home.
It's good... but good fucking lord did it remind me of how terrible I used to be at interacting with people.
Long live Cinematech. FC:0259-0435-4987I was pretty much expecting Maud to be the way she was as soon as Pinkie mentioned her sister was coming, just based on Pinkie's flashback in "Cutie Mark Chronicles." I was not disappointed. Everything Maud did was awesome. Also we got to see everyone's pets together again, which was nice. They don't acknoledge those guys often enough.
Every line in this ep just felt TOO simple.(Kinda small and insignificant to every other episode so far too.)
Dakota's blog An odd agent of justiceShe is another great representation of Hidden Badass! When her sister is in trouble, her dormant talents rise to the occasion! I just wish it wasn't so jarringly surprising! Nothing about the stunts she could do what foreshadowed in any way.

Eh, nothing wrong with that. There's a difference between occasionally doing childish things, and being childish.
This was a great episode. Maud Pie was awesome and there were also lots of great Pinkie gags.
- Haven't seen her since yesterday? You know, that's not really a lot of time. Even the police wouldn't get worried until like 48 hours, I think,
- I love how Pinkie just throws them into her house.
- Pity Spike wasn't here. He loves that stuff
- Hey, it's that squee sound effect they keep using
- Crayon tales!
- Squee count ++
- Yeah, she won't pay attention to what you're wearing seeing as most of you aren't even wearing anything
- Everyone else walking a lot slower than you? I definitely know that feeling, Pinkie
- So that's Maud. I like her already
- So is she a pony! Mai or what? Looks like she brought The Boulder too.
- This is like the end of The Thief isn't it?
- What, it was in your pocket? That's so cheating
- What happened to the propeller? Is it not under a perpetual motion spell? Not sure how Tank being tired would actually affect it, unless it is powered by his stamina or something
- One I forgot earlier - Rarity channels her inner Sonic
- Now Pinkie is going all Dory
- Don't worry Fluttershy, Pinkie defines 'friend' as 'person she's spent two seconds in the prescence of'
- Now I'm beginning to think that Maud is deliberately trolling them. There's no way that that is how you peel an apple
- Maud provides evidence of EP magic. Maybe this will finally resolve those stupid debates. Ha, who am I kidding? Debate is eternal
- 200 pounds?!?! How many necklaces does she plan to make?
- Pinkie: Tell me what's wrong? Fluttershy: She's nice.
- Even you should be able to tell that that course is a really stupid idea, Pinkie
- Also, squee count up to 3
- This is going to be another Spike At Your Service situation, isn't it? How the heck do they keep getting stuck on little rocks. Heck, I couldn't even see the rock she got stuck on this time
- Wow, Maud is fast and does have rock magic
- Looks like the farm is still derelict in the present day.
'Maud Pie' was like an episode. ._.
I put my friend in a coconut! He lives in my hat! Hey, come hang out!I'd ask if you were trying to get into the Tumblr, but I'm pretty sure that was intentional and hence is disqualified.
What, Fimfic has prereaders too? I thought that was only an EQD thing.
That was my first thought too, actually.
Never saw Droppy. She made me think of Mai from ATLA.
Anyone know who voiced her? It would be funny if it was Tara doing her Raven voice.
You mean there's more than one character named Mai that she resembles?
And apple byproducts.
Oh yeah, that was great.
I'd say that was a lot more than twice as far.
Too late.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayLook closely at the quotes.
What did they do.
Don't forget the part where I said I can't wait for the second chapter.
Don't worry, I missed it too.
And eat 200 pounds of rock candy without ill effect.

It was a good episode! Not one of the best ones, but I enjoyed it!
