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!

Equestria Games. I'm not expecting much TBH; all three of the previous episodes about the games were kinda awful.

"We've all got a shot at Ponyville gold! Well except my team, because I'm not sure what possessed me to bring Fluttershy and Roid Rage on board."

There are no winners in Scootaloo's job. Only losers.

Spike just got abducted by the Party Van. He was never seen again.

"Spike the Brave and Glorious?" Oh right, he was actually useful in that episode.

And Spike's ego grew three sizes that day.

"We want you to light the torch. You'll be the first dragon in the history of the Games to do it! Also it'll be funny when it falls in Celestia's lap during her bath."

Wow, Spike's fire breath can incinerate things he's not even pointed at. Boy's got talent.

Something tells me despite the simplicity, Spike will find a way to buck this up.

I'm seriously hoping the irony ball drops hard and Derpy completely dominates whatever she's in.

Spike, we need to work on your math. Twilight would be ashamed.

Okay, so Twi covered his ass. Which is great, but it also means Spike officially hasn't done anything useful all season.

"Act casual!" LE CASUAL SHADES

God dammit, this is going to be an Equestria Games episode AND a Spike episode. FUUUUUUUUU—

Spike's gonna lose a lot of street cred if he accidentally craps out his organs in public. I mean most people would, but he didn't have much to begin with.

Bon Bon is nearly as unamused as myself. -_-

Okay, Dailymotion just won. It paused for an advertisement right on Dash and Fluttershy's WTF faces.

That poor foal in the background T_T

No, CMC. I'm pretty sure this is a REALLY good time for Spike to bow out.

"I don't see why you're being so hard on yourself. Of course I haven't really been paying attention, so..."

And a spiky death cloud. You'd think they'd have cleared the skies or something, but Spike must have his chance to not suck while the four princesses sit on their plots in the stands gaping at it instead of shooting it the fuck down with their pony goddess powers.

And they're rewarding Spike with the chance to work with explosives. This can't possibly go wrong.

Well, that episode was distinctly meh. I get the feeling the games themselves would've been a considerably more compelling story than Spike Angst.

Also, how did Ponyville win 37 medals when they only brought like 10 ponies and they weren't allowed to compete in more than one event? That was the justification for Dash not being able to just blitz the whole roster, right?

Eh. I'll do the season finale sometime tomorrow I guess. I've been pretty disappointed with most of these episodes — the season started off so much stronger than this — but I've been hearing nothing but good things and fangasms over Tirek, so hey.

Actually Cadance was a pegasus prior to alicornization.

Was that canon? I was thinking that was from the comics.

It's from the first novel. Which IIRC is canon.

For some reason, I thought there would be an Alicorn Exemption. Guess not.

You think they'd trust the princesses not to screw with the games.

Anyway, I actually kinda liked the mane six's glam manes.tongue

I understand why advertising is a thing that has to exist but it can get annoying at times. Well, most of the time.

There's a shot of Celestia and Luna spreading their wings to take flight, then in the next wide shot you can see them flying towards the ice cloud. Here's a screenshot.

They didn't accomplish anything, but that was because Spike beat them to the punch.

Mousa is a closet Russian.

Seriously though, 220ish people voted Twilight Sparkle, 200 Fluttershy, while Rarity and Spike received 50ish each. And That's Terrible.

Re: advertisements

Well now we have a PBS Pledge Drive style revenue model going around that's trying to be an alternative to advertising. Though we've yet to see how it works out in the long term, as it's a recent development.

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...

Hey Storyyeller, google search was completely unhelpful for finding that post I was looking for. Only pulled up four results, and only one of them was in the right thread.

Maybe I did post it pre-nuking after all. Or maybe google's just being stupid. Wouldn't be the first time.

Nah, google's all but uesless in finding thread posts, even if you put in your troper handle, thread, and chunk of the post text in. And this site's search function is laughable.

Just watched the finale.

At least, I think I did. I may have somehow ended up watching an episode of DBZ instead. :P

Also, We found out what the box contains. Turns out, it was [[Pokemon Mega stones]] and a castle.

Serious, It was an entertaining episode, with a wonderful fight in it. I'm definitely curious about how season 5 will go now, considering the new developments.

So, Is this the part where I call the show ruined forever? ^_^

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

Aside from the bullshit with the tree of harmony/the box, my only complaint is that some more references to Rescue from Midnight Castle. Like the Rainbow of Darkness, or calling upon the sea ponies. Other than that, it was good.
