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.

Post of the Day #707
How they did finally get to it, is pretty good. It's still not a sure thing she'll never fly, but it's possible, or it could just be she's a late bloomer.. very late. But that she isn't able to fly by now and it's odd is really made certain so that's good. Just, would have liked more exploring on THAT instead of ONLY on how her not flying effected this own event, rather then, you know, her entire life.
Yeah gotta agree with the post there. Flight had some great stuff, but.. it focused to much on the Games, not enough on Scoots to really feel as good as it might.
It had them winning the Games as an A plot, with Scoots being unable to fly as the related B plot it felt like. When those two should have been switched.

I like that Sweetie is doing magic now. Feels like a natural progression.

Let's talk about her big sister too:
Rarity Duality
(Human)
Me too. I also liked how FTTF showed DT's manipulation skills (same with Twilight Time).
The one thing weird about Flight To The Finish is that Scootaloo somehow beat the train to the Crystal Empire. If it's that easy, why do they even take the train?
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayI do get the feeling that the writers don't really have that clear of an idea of what their talents will eventually be. It's sort of drifted since Show Stoppers.
Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectHuh, I thought it might be, but wasn't sure.
As to the Train, yeah beating it, makes no sense. My theory, is they didn't. notice how RD flew out ahead of them and just left them behind. RD flew ahead to catch up to the train and make it stop till Scoots could catch up to it. They then rode the train the rest of the way.
The endless deserts and hills, and so on were just the song exaggerating things.
No still pretty clear. Sweetie will be singing, or performance related. Applebloom, something with building or engineering. Scoots, something related to her scooter and the tricks and stunts she can pull.

Apple Bloom will minor in potion-making, which is a good callback to Cutie Pox and her friendship with Zecora.
Has Zecora appeared in this season after the first two episodes? I forget.

Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayThe train thing really isn't that weird. There are plenty of things that could have delayed it long enough for them to catch up, and there's nothing saying that they caught up before it reached the empire. It could've easily stopped somewhere for a few hours to refuel, or there was just a gap between the arrival in the empire and the actual contest or something.
Reaction Image RepositoryJust because you can do something, even if you're pretty good at it, doesn't mean it's your unique talent.
Take Fluttershy. Her special talent is animal handling, but she's also got that freaky knowledge of sewing and is a darned good singer.
This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...But if they could beat the train that easily, why even take it in the first place?
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayI liked Ftt F and I'm actually ok with the fact that it didn't completely focus on Scootaloo's plight. It helped to set up the overall message that it didn't matter if Scootaloo did not eventually learn to fly.
I also liked the overall character interaction (even if DT & SS are a tiresome plot device), and I liked how Scootaloo reacted to her lack of flight ability, but that's probably coming from seeing a lot of fan fics really pour on the angst over that (and that's not even getting into orphan/homeless issues).
@story: Because awesomeness, and montage, and fuck it we don't need a reason.
