Batbrony Reviews "S01:E15 - Feeling Pinkie Keen"
"Feeling Pinkie Keen" is an episode that I really think gets unfairly underrated or, even worse, overly criticized by many members of our fandom, mostly for its message. I for one actually very much enjoyed this episode's message, and thought it was both thought-provoking and rare to see in a children's show these days. I did not feel that it was being preachy; yes, was Pinkie's Pinkie-sense a real thing in their world? Yes. Do I believe that the Christian beliefs that I hold as true are true? Yes. However, I don't think that the message of this episode was that religious beliefs should simply be accepted. Rather, the message was that not everything can be explained by science (the opposite message, that everything can be explained by science, is oftentimes unfortunately a message that one frequently sees in children's shows these days), that for some beliefs, the best you can truly do in the end is have faith in them. That's not to say that history can't support certain religious faiths, in particular, the factuality of many of the historical events related in the Bible, but in the end, the base of every religious belief is faith, and the same can be said for Twilight's belief in the end in Pinkie's Pinkie-sense. Despite the fact that she can't explain it, she simply has to have faith in it that it is real, since, well, it is (which, again, as I said, is somewhat different from religious faith, because no one can ever definitively, 100% confirm the factuality of his/her religious beliefs, no matter how strong his/her faith is in their religious beliefs), and this teaches her that some things cannot be explained, but simply can only be supported by faith, which I for one think is a valuable lesson for children.
Everypony, meet Gummy, the only character more of an enigma than Pinkie Pie. Yes, you heard that right.
Aside from this episode's theme, Twilight and Pinkie were hilarious in this episode, the Hydra scene was an extremely cool creature and action scene in Season 1, and this episode had one of the first (and still one of the funniest) Derpy Hooves' cameos and comic-gags!!!
In Derpy and Raindrops' defense, what kind of crazy bastard (1) hired an airborne, pegasi moving service in the first place, and (2) thought it'd be a good idea for them to transport A BUCKING ANVIL???
