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!

I wished we saw more of the Games though. I Know they gotta keep a story going, but still.

Well, we still managed to get two events.

Ice Archery is interesting. The archer has to have enough control to hit every spot on the target.

I have a message from another time...

Man, Soarin looked really tired in this episode. Was he also nervous and couldn't get any sleep?

As for the episode, I'm so happy we got another really good Spike episode.

@Enlong: they also need to know how much of the target each arrow covers, on average.

This one struck a chord with me for sure.

Selfworth is a big problem of mine and I really can relate with the little dragon here.

After evaporating the huge ice block, did Spike pull that umbrella out of Hammerspace?

I'm glad we got as much of the games as we did. I was worried from the premise that we were going to get the lighting of the torch and then just jump straight to the end.

@Big Danny: pretty good. it was another Spike episode, and we saw a good bit of the Equestria Games.

@Danny: Pretty good, though it was heavy on the Cringe Comedy. I'll need to rewatch it since my stream was kinda laggy.

The fact that Spike is hailed as a legendary hero for his part in stopping King Sombra does raise the question of why the mane six aren't viewed in a similar fashion. Do the crystal ponies just have a better memory for this sort of thing?

Happy the Crusaders got some lines in there as well, love the lil' fillies.

@Meta: Spike was far more overt in getting the True Crystal Heart to Cady, in full view of all the Crystal Ponies. Twi was simply acting behind the scenes and the rest of the Mane Six was buying time for her to find it in secret.

It's been awhile since I've seen Crystal Empire, but didn't Spike carry the crystal heart like twenty feet before falling and needing to be bailed out by Cadance? I'm all for Spike getting some recognition, but was that really his finest hour?

[up]I guess that makes sense.

I'm not asking "Why aren't the mane six hailed as heroes for their part in defeating Sombra?" I'm asking "Since Spike is mobbed by fans on the street because he helped defeat Sombra, why aren't the mane six similarly mobbed by fans because they defeated Nightmare Moon, Discord, etc?"

The mane cast have already saved Equestria like three times; they don't need any more accolades. The other thing is that being the Elements Of Harmony and all, they're sort of destined for success anyway. Spike doesn't have a Magical Rainbow Beam to fall back on; he's sort of the Badass Normal of the group.

[up]Cultural differences between Equestria and the Crystal Empire?

Sombra had been ruling over the crystal ponies for a long time when he was defeated, so that would be a bigger deal in the eyes of the crystal ponies than defeating Nightmare Moon, since while she was feared, she was just a legend until her return. So for most ponies, news of her return and defeat would have come within a day.

Yeah, but again, only a handful of ponies would realize exactly what they were saved from.
