It just occurred to me, that those of you bothering to read these might actually like an episode summary along with my 'live' notes. I was originally thinking that it's easy enough to look up a summary on the various wikis, so it just didn't seem like something that was particularly necessary for my purpose.

If you'd like that sort of thing, let me know. I'll backtrack through this blog when I can and put in summaries for prior entries as well.

Princess Problems (G1.5 TV episode, August 21^st 1992, 11 minutes)

Summary: The orphan Patch may be the lost princess that the King and Queen are looking for, as she has all the attributes they're looking for. Patch tries to come to terms with leaving everything she has known in order to follow this opportunity to be royalty.

Yikes. That's what Big Mac would look like in this generation. *HUGE*

King and Queen of the Isle of Pony. Still no idea what *this* place is called, but there's apparently a Isle that is a monarchy. Unless they're also the monarchs of this land as well?

Should I answer that question? So far this group isn't exactly the most trustworthy I've seen.

Wait, if the newborn foal they're looking for was lost at sea... how would now-older child know what their birthday is, that they're using as a criteria? It's not like it's printed on the back of their neck or anything. Unless they're *really* good at guessing with ponies.

Woah, sparkly King and Queen there. Is that supposed to be an audience-only visual cue to their rank, or are they actually sparkling in-universe?

That paint was really good quality if it took this long to wear off on the bottom of her hoof.

Magic crown to indicate who the real princess is.
