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.

Yeah, the only part that I found to be so cringey as to be uncomfortable was the singing bit, which was painful to watch and went way too long. The rest of the episode was solid, though.
Reaction Image RepositoryOkay that ep was amazing. Yeah the anthem was.. "I can't watch this" levels of cringe worthy, but still a great overall epsidoe. Wish we saw more of the games, Ice Archery, seriously, what other things can we come up with?
Though, okay disabling spell for unicorns, but, don't tell me they stuck that on the Princesses too? Or were they just getting ready to act when Spike jumped in?
Also, so they have an outright disabling spell for unicorns, interesting.
But moral was great, GO PONYVILLE! Just, yeah few issues, like the anthem, and that title got old really fast. But great overall.
Just felt like they were trying to hard to say "See See they DO care about Spike, he IS a hero."
I was awake 'til 8 this morning, so I just caught the episode on YT.
Derpy!
Yeah, just drop Spike off here, guards. Literally. Ten thousand years dungeon for you guys.
"Mister The Dragon"?
Oh, Prince Douchebag is there.
Flame *click* ON! *click* DAMMIT!
I want to know more about the de-unicornizing checkpoint.
Fleetfoot doesn't look too well. Competing when she still has the feather flu is either really brave or really stupid. We'll have to have a talk with her.
Oh good, Twilight spilled the beans. But Spike is crushed.
That was an...interesting anthem, Spike. "Something Wonderbolts something something Trees I really want this song to be over Trees."
I used to be graceful and proud, 'til I shot an ice arrow into a cloud.
Badass Spike!
Wait, did Spike just pull that umbrella out of his
Didn't look like Derpy actually competed in anything?
I put my friend in a coconut! He lives in my hat! Hey, come hang out!Oh, and Rainbow Dash being fine (thrilled, actually) with taking second-place silver. That's character development.
Derpy was probably a little sad she didn't get to be on the Ponyville team. Did it of course for Rainbow Dash, but still a little.
Also, if I hear one more oh, but I wanted to see more games! crud, I'm going to scream. I suppose it's a reasonable thing to want, but claims of that ruining the episode and focusing on Spike, even though some fans complained Just for Sidekicks did the reverse.
Ugh, sometimes I feel like things would be better if a third of the fans that complain about everything would just shut the buck up.
Aww, that's sweet of you to say.
Dakota's blog An odd agent of justiceOh it's great he's getting the recognition, just, felt like the episode was trying a little to hard to show that he was.
And yeah, I can see why people are upset over not getting a better look at he games themselves, this is something that has been building up for over a year, and we don't really get a major payoff. I don't think that makes the ep itself bad, but is a let down after how much time was spent on the whole Games arc.
I don't get it. What do you mean by sweet?
Anyway, I was wondering why the princesses accepted the disabling spell too. Maybe they caught on to Twilight's little Incinerate! spell.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayDerpy was probably along as a replacement in case somepony pulled a wing or something. Either that or she competed in some other event that we didn't see.
Also Bulk Biceps' Mom
is in attendance.

Reaction Image RepositoryOkay. I've been home for less than ten minutes and mom has already told me I'll be leaving to move furniture later. I don't know when I'll be able to see the episode.
So. Was it good, or was it another "Spike isn't useless" episode?

Dakota's blog An odd agent of justiceMore interesting background stuff: In the princesses' box seats, in addition to the Saddle Arabians and the Mayincatec-ish ponies, you can also see... Mayor Mare, Fleur de Lis, and Cherry Jubilee.
And when Spike is butchering the Cloudsdale anthem, the Ponyville and Cloudsdale team behind him are visibly cringing. But those griffons who placed third? No reaction. They don't give a buck.

Or maybe AJ's not interested?
