Does anyone else keep thinking King Kix is Meta Four due to the avatar?
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's Playokay, time to watch the episode.
workout train!
yeah! That's the spirit, scoots!
baby dragon kidnapping!
oh damn, Spike has a bigger title than Trixie!
oh hey, it's the saddle arabians again!
Mr. The Dragon? Jeez, lighten up harshwinny.
woah, who's the mare in the headdress next to blueblood?
that's a bit too casual, dash.
damnit, spike.
okay, these crystal ponies have crazy voices.
huh, a magic disabling lockdown field. neat.
DAMNIT SPIKE!
Ice archery?
...okay, that's pretty cool.
OH SHIT!
woah, pegasi hopping!
GG, spike.
well, that episode introduced some interesting stuff. Ice arrows exist, and horn ring magic inhibitors were semi jossed.
XP granted for befriending a giant magical spider!Only jossed in the sense that they're unnecessary. It didn't rule them out or anything.
If anything, Rarity wearing that huge ring in Simple Ways (at least I think it was Simple Ways) would be a better argument.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayYeah it was surprising. I couldn't tell for sure how it would go up until Spike flamed the ice cloud.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayAnyone else think there might be a stealth joke about A Song of Ice and Fire?
We have princesses and thrones at a game, a dragon, singing, and ice and fire.
I shall henceforth retitle this episode, Game of Pones.

Oh jeeze. It's a Cringe Comedy episode. I'm not sure if I'll even be able to finish this one.
Because it's painful to watch if you sympathize with the character or his situation? Cringe Comedy only works if you want to see the character to be stupid and oblivious.
I just finished the episode, and it was definitely more than one scene. I was cringing for at least a third of it. Did not like, at all.

I thought it was a great episode, definitely better than most Spike episodes.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayPONY TIME!!
Okay the opening was great. RD actually admitting she might not win, being fine with it, and just concerned about everypony having a good time. Though still hoping they win. DAMN that is just amazing.
DERPY!
Huh, is it just me or did Scoots sound kind of weird there?
And why are they all weight lifting and working out? Way to late for that to do any good, and will just tire you all out. Wait, don't care, the ponies hoof bumping each other while doing wing-ups was to cute. So was Fluttershy sitting on Bulk's weights.
And he's just been dragon napped, with a sedan chair.
okay.. that's laying it on a bit thick.
Yeah the title, the being waited on.. I mean the poor guy deserves it, but still, coming off just a tad excessive.
Aww poor Twi.. you know she'd rather be down with the others. Speaking of others.. so... Rarity I can see not wanting to, and Pinkie would likely be disqualified for being Pinkie Pie. You know breaking the laws of physics and reality. But why isn't AJ competing in some event?
And Spike gets to deal with Ms. Harshwinny, this should be.. interesting.
Spike, when did you become Fluttershy?
"Mr. the Dragon"? Wut?
And cue panic attack.
OHHH Saddle Arabians. And, are those Egyptian ponies? And... wait.. Blueblood?
And.. yeah you got a problem alright.
I just remembered the last time Spike was treated like that - Over A Barrel.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's Play

I am so glad Twilight told Spike about the lighting the torch bit right away. I was afraid we'd spend the rest of the episode with Spike trying to light things on fire with his mind.
So how many episodes do we have left this season?
