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!

Sorry to hear that.sad

But, yes Ticket isn't the best to show. It's a fairly week episode over all.

I would have gone with something like Sonic Rainboom, Party of One, Griffon the Brush Off, or Bridal Gossip.

Yeah, Ticket Master is pretty by-the-book, so will do little to convince anyone who needs convincing.

It's pretty generally accepted as being one of the weakest episodes, at least partially because it's the first one written and not everything is set in stone yet. Something that showcases the show's more unique elements better would be a better representation of what the show's usually like. It's enjoyable enough, but it's really not indicative of the show's overall quality.

Sorry, I meant I hope there's another game!

I hope they call it Pokemon Z.

X2 and Y2 would just sound stupid.

Hoenn Confirmed.

Or as Twitch would say, trumpets in 3d hype!

Whenever I ponder the next gen non-portable consoles, I find none of them can sell me on them.

Yeah, there's no good reason to buy the PS 4 or Xbone. The problem is that their entire reason for existence disappeared years ago but they're still going like zombies, competing on features noone ever asked for while having fewer exclusives, mostly crap like Ryse (aka Modern Warfare: Rome)

By the way, chapter 4 of the RR just finished. So yes, it's still going.

Which is why they'll actually be called X2J and Y2K.

AU stories are usually interesting. It's fun to imagine how things could have turned out, in our universe or in a fictional one we're fond of.

What I hate are fics that pretend to be AU fics but are actually just shipfics.

Anybody know a good episode to introduce the series to non-viewers like your parents?

If she's a fan of Weird Al, I'd say Pinkie Pride. Telling people that Weird Al guest starred in My Little Pony is a good hook to get people interested.

@Story: Similarly, if she's into Star Trek, start with the Discord episodes. And if she likes mysteries, try "MM Mystery on the Friendship Express".

@Irish: Gotta love tourists.

Also, the Weird Al thing is how I got my mom hooked on the show.

Yep. After I mentioned the Weird Al thing, I showed her a bunch of episodes and she got hooked.

Also, I just checked TPP and they have an Omastar now! The all Fossil dream team continues. Praise Treesus!

So it turns out that pop culture references are the best gateway to ponies?

I think partly it's the surprise that Weird Al of all things would appear in MLP. It makes them curious.

It's true. Who would ever expect Weird Al to something silly?

Weird Al can be trusted to live up to his name.

The three finest things in life are to splat your enemies, drive them from their turf, and hear their lamentations as their rank falls!

The first time I saw Perform This Way, I thought it was an actual Gaga song.

Still think it's better than the original anyway.

When asked why he was called "Weird Al", he used to hoist his leg and put it behind his head, then act like nothing had just happened.

Probably not so easy for him to do now that he's in his 50s.

Depends on how much he's kept up with his fitness. When I used to do martial arts, I knew a 60 year-old master who could do a split kick no sweat. I also met the grandmaster of the school and he was totally still in his game despite being over 70.

My Judo instructor must have been well into his 50s or 60s, and he was still spry as ever. Could toss me around like it was nothing, that's for sure, and I probably outweighed him by a good 50 pounds or so.
