S2 Episode 1: John de Lancie Pony's Fancy, Part 2
"Last time on Pony:" First time there needed to be one of these for the show :p I always hate how these are a cheap way to cut out what could otherwise be new content, but I can forgive pony for daring to have plot big enough to require two episodes. Sure, this also happened in the first two episodes last season, but it is different when you have attachments to the characters. "Maybe the Magic of Friendship can help you" Have I mentioned I love this Discord fellow? AND THERE IS THE Q SNAP <3<3<3 (for those of you unlucky enough to know: WHY DOES TWILIGHT HAVE TO CARRY THAT ROCK ANYWAY? ;_; Poor Twilight ;_; "This is MY book! AND I'M GONNA READ IT" Without context this would sound like normal Twilight Sparkle.... Well that was cheap....right there in the book. Can't even read it. What a waste of a book... "Necklace...necklace...necklace...necklace....and big crown thingy" Legit bursted out laughing at "Congrats Spike, you are the new Rainbow Dash" "Lookout. Here comes Tom!" This episode rundown is just gonna be a bunch of quotes. Worse things have happened NOOOOOOOO~ NOT TWILIGHT TOO ;_; Did that pony just gallop along the edges of the screen.....yes...yes it did. I like you crazy pony show. Oooh....clever solution. <3 "Let us never speak of this again" No comment needed. "I'm just wondering if its ok if I hold you down against your will for a little bit" Classic Fluttershy ...drinking the glass. It is these little gags that ensure Discord is Best Side Character... Darn...he let himself be defeated. *sigh* I guess it had to be that easy because of time constraints >_< Less than awesome ending, but everything else was great. Loved Discord and loved the Grey Ponies and the whole memory thing with the letters. 9.95/10 -- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out ... Copied to Clipboard!

Overanalyzing Ponies: Part 1: Twilight Sparkle: My Little Sociopath
Twilight has a very neurotic personality to say the least. She's not exactly adept at certain social situations and isn't well versed in social grace. She doesn't really know how to solve problems without guidance, such as a book. She utilizes books way too much, to the point where she doesn't know how to do many things without them. In fact, books are one of the only things she will take a direct order from, the other being Celestia. Speaking of Celestia it should be mentioned what an impact she had on Twilight's childhood, and it was by something Twilight considers a small cause on her part. Because of this, Twilight associates large consequences for seemingly inconsequential things (See Lesson Zero). Despite all this, she is very skilled in magic, but perhaps magic is another things she relies on too much, given her reactions in both Bridle Gossip and when Discord took it away. Twilight is at the very least mildly charismatic, if a little wordy and oblivious at times. I wouldn't say she's the sanest one out of the six, but given her personal history, it would be surprising if she was completely sane in the first place. ... Copied to Clipboard!

BonetaiI 01/23/12 9:39:00 PM #279: |
And because I guess I like analyzing things meant for kids, let's look at ponyciety.
Ponies are given their goal in life at a very young age, and it all has a hint of fatalism to it, with the illusion of free will. As we've seen with other young ponies in the series, they are referred to as "pure potential", but ultimately, this isn't true. They're all good at one thing and, as far as we know, this thing is set from birth, whether the pony realizes it or not. (See: Sweetie Belle and her singing, Scootaloo on her scooter, etc.) A big part of getting your very own buttstamp is living up to it, something we've seen just about everybody worry about, Such as Applejack stressing about not working hard enough for her family and overworking herself, or Rainbow Dash having a breakdown about not being able to pull off another Rainboom: the thing that gave her her own iconic mark. Let's hope there isn't such a thing as a pony mid-life crisis, or things could turn bad fast, as far as we know, cutie marks can't change, and they would have to wear it with shame, not unlike Hester Prynne wearing the scarlet letter. Because of this looming presence of unhappiness with themselves, ponies are encouraged by their society to be happy with what they do, and if they don't, they assume something is wrong with themselves specifically, and try to correct the problem the best way they know how, (Oui Madame!!!! *twitch*) and not to question how their life is governed. Celestia's got to have some hella good PR too, absolutely nobody doubts her. Or is it just because if anyone feels they did, or if they feel that they disrespect her in any way, they would be immediately banished to wherever ponies get banished to. Twilight is close to the princess, and her constant worry of banishment implies that it's happened before, and not just to Luna. The entire thing seems oddly utopian, perhaps to a fault. ...

Cutie marks might be pretty grim if it wasn't for the fact that we have yet to see an example of a cutie mark representing something its owner doesn't like. Cutie marks aren't just an expression of what a pony is good at, it's something they love to do.

Awesome remix of At the Gala. I have it officially stuck in my head, primarily the Rainbow Dash part (makes me want to make her tied for best pony) Anyway, we now return to your regularly scheduled pony Right after I mention that my head is in the best kind of pain after laughing too hard at ashen's look at turbo - the board game. The Ice Zone is the most ingenious thing ever. In other news, The Freelance Astronauts are back in action with an LP of Cargo. A russian game that allows you to build a vehicle from parts. Hilarity ensues. Ok, pony tiem. S2 Episode 4: Mandatory Halloween Episode Its Halloween. I wonder if the 4th wall will be broken and a pony will dress up as a human. That would be several levels of creepy though... ...did they just introduce a british pony? It is a kid pony and thus cannot provide british sarcasm and wit. Kill it quickly please. A plot device if you must, but make it quick. Chop Chop clop clop dead pony. ....hoof stitched. My poor head. ;_; *theme song* (argh it sounds so different now ;_;) As much as I like Twilight Sparkle I can't help but politely disagree that a history group would be well received. <3 RD Wait... my mind just registered that spike is going as a dragon. The levels of genius far exceed my mental capacity to scale them. Spike still is meh. I would have missed this derpy sighting if it wasn't linked to me in a clip days prior. Return of Zecora....I can dig it. If that isn't Celestia cosplaying as her sister I will be disappoint. If it is, lol@them still bowing. Do ponies just bow to all authority? Does might make right in pony land? Their domination over nature suggests such. Twilight...Sparkle....is giving advise on....social interaction. Wha? ...this isn't Celestia is it? But wasn't Luna turned into a kidified pony? I remember her looking smaller... "I'm going to do what I do best! Lecture her!" Have I mentioned how much Best Pony that Twilight Sparkle is? Pinkie Pie is waaaaaaaaay too good at being a chicken. If this were any other show this scene would be yuri bait*. Instead Pinkie Pie wins it with "No I'm not! I'm a chicken!"

I can deal without Twilight Sparkle. It isn't as if she has to be the star of every scene ever. Besides, A Rainbow Dash or Rarity is fine too. Or no main pony might be an interesting thing. Life outside the core 6 with maybe one of them being in the background somewhere for kicks.
S2 Episode 5: Sister Act I was also told this episode would be about Rarity's sister. I....can not say I am optimistic going in unless it has some as yet unseen draw to it. How do ponies even c....magic *theme song* (stiiiiiiill sounds off, though not as odd as it would if it were in italy: ) Burnt...juice...

Rarity's sis would earn it with this...novel display of cooking antiskills. scootscootscoot...SB) scooting her head on the floor was a nice touch. Poor Rarity XD One is helplessly obsessed with keeping things tidy. The other is completely inept at everything she does. Together, they fight crime! XD poor SB Is Rarity going to go insane? Will SB do anything right? Can the mcguffin dresses be salvaged? Will any other pony be in this episode? Tune in next line as all this and more slowly ceases to matter. SIHOVI IVCIOVCNO Oh...applebutter. I'll be damned...a non apple fruit gets a little bit of spotlight. On an apple farm. By characters with apple in their name. After a scene with apples.
