She came with Megan originally. Packaging said she was Megan's no. 1 special pony, though that seems a tad demeaning for the other ponies.

Ironic that she appears in the series plenty of times, but apparently forgot to or just didn't have the budget to recast her, so she trots alongside everyone else never saying a word. So it's like Megan's just ignoring her.

I've seen the Dark Castle, and I don't think a Sundance was ever mentioned... I kinda got the impression Spitfire and AJ would evolve into Megan's closer friends. And that one purply unicorn... Ribbon, or something?

@Keg. Second special Escape from Catrina.

Ribon had the red and yellow mane, right? She was kind of a game breaker, she had telepathy and used it to cheat at some of their games and was never called out for it.

Can anyone recommend a site to watch the first gen of MLP?

@dark: The one I bought is just Sundance herself. I didn't see any with Megan. (Not that I was really looking.) I've only ever seen one Megan doll in existence before, so she must be pretty rare. I guess the "one special pony" thing was one of those times where the cartoon and the toy teams didn't bother talking to each other.

I was originally looking for Majesty, but I can't seem to find her in good condition for a decent price.

@dark: Sundance actually talked with Megan more than any other pony, but their conversations weren't appropriate for children's entertainment, and they all got cut. So you only see her in the moments when she isn't talking.

I'm tempted to just go down the candy aisle at work and take candy and gum names to use for OCs. For example- Bubble Breeze. That totally sounds like a pony name.

@Werael. Yayponies is your best bet. They used to be on Youtube, but Hasbro took them down. Keep Circulating the Tapes applies for all the pre FIM cartoons, it's mostly pirate them or look for out of print dvd's.

Great thunderstorm, Casey didn't show up with his truck to take the scooter to the shop, and I need to be to work at 8 in the morning, and can't get a hold of anyone to give me a ride.

I think Shout! Factory is releasing some older MLP cartoons on DVD sometime soon.

Shout's releasing the first cartoon, but it's likely they'll be transfers of the cindication packages. Not that it's the kind of cartoon you want in hd.

@Seraphem Okay ask a stupid question, let me rephase that I don't need MY sister. I mean after having to deal with her tonight I'm just getting more resentful of her with every passing minute.

And yet...I still live with the faint possibility that she might be nice for one moment alone. Unbelievable.

Of course, it's easy for us, because every major conflict on this show is resolved by 'Friendship wins the day'. That's not a spoiler at all

There are sometimes big spoilers. Like the whole changeling thing.

When Chrysalis actually KO'd Celestia, I'm pretty sure there were two solid pages of nothing but variations on "OH FUCK WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!"

Don't froget the page of reactions when Luna reappeared.

also hi guys sorry for abandoning you

So decided to go back and rewatch the series.

First season in geeneral reminds me a lot of past gens with the added slice of life moments, and the episodes being more down to earth.

I've also noticed Faust's 3 episodes for lack of a better phrase are kinda bland with the writing. Everypony talks almost exclusively in whatever's on their minds, repeat themselves or talk repetitively a lot, and has a golly gee wiz kind of vocabulary, as if the writers wanted to keep it very clean.

There's some radar stuff here and there, but the slightly edgier jokes, bonus bits for adults, and abundant popculture doesn't really show up until season 2.
