"Yeah Yeah yeah, nice boutique, now I want pictures of Mare-Do-Well!"

Anyone else getting an ad for a smart phone fanny pack?

 

Who is in charge of the ads on this network?

THEY LIVE AMONG US. EATING OUR PANCAKES. STEALING OUR LEFT SHOES.

 

WE HAVE TO BUILD A WALL AROUND OUR ENCHATED POOLS.

Guest-starring Little King Trash-Mouth.

"And you saved Equestria like a dozen times!"

 

OMG IT WAS FINALLY SAID!

More like she was adjacent to the purple one who did the saving for most of that, but suuuuurrrrrrrre...

Now and forver, the once and future Rainbow Crash.

"I prefer the nickname 'T-Bone.'"

 

Ashleigh Ball is struggling to not completely sound like Applejack.

A-HA! Frigging knew it. Plebs.

I would have called her "Rainbow Trash."

 

That can be her gimmick. She throws trash all over the runway and then she eats the garbage.

I love that we've finally come to this moment after being built up literally since Day One, and it's handled in a cold opening and just serves as the set-up to an episode about being embarrassed

It was okay. Probably could have stand to be subtler with its moral, but more Trixie is good, and if this means more Trixie in the future, than that is good-er.

I will give the episode this: its depiction of dragons is way better than having them live in a Flintsones town right down the street from ponies...

I totally agree. Being female or any minority for that matter does not automatically make you a good leader. Smarts doesn't equal good leadership. I met people who are like super smart PHDs but they have no instincts or leadership ability whatsoever. I would guess that Celestia knew just being smart did not make you a leader so therefore she had Twilight learn friendship first before becoming a princess.

I think it's a matter of the episode's writing putting the moral way too simplisticly. It's more like Ember is better suited to be a leader because she thinks things through and sees the value in not being a jerk for the sake of being a jerk.

Y'know, Twilight doesn't have to be Kryptonian-levels of powerful to fight back. She could have tripped them with some magic, or teleport out of the way. Heck, she could use that transformation spell to turn into a dragon. Or the sandworm. Or a banana peel Garble could slip on.

Nitpick: Some dragon a long time ago decided a sceptor too tiny for any regular dragon to wield would bestoy lordship. It's like if Excalibur was the size of a toothpick.

That would have meant a declaration of war between Equestria and the Dragons. A princess interfering directly in the political affairs of another countries without their consent? Completely out of question.

Plus, she follows scientific rules in her studies, so her interfering would mean both a political eclat (if not war) and the knowledge she gained being without value.

By the end, Garble already knew they were there. I don't think anyone would have questioned the morality of defending one's self when they are on a ledge overlooking a firey drop of certain death and their surrogate son/brother/lackey is in mortal danger.

That was decent. Twilight probably could have ended it like 29 different times without exposing herself, but whatever.

Thanks for all the help there, Twilight.

Spike, you immeasurable dolt.

I have some pills for that, Spike.

Better than the season opener, that's for dang sure...

I seem to be in the minority here, but I enjoyed Pinkie in this episode. I tend to do so whenever the writers find something for her to focus on for 22 minutes.

 

Also lots of Rarity, gotta love Rarity. Nice episode.

Six seasons of this show, they've only now gotten around to putting Rarity in a Audrey Hepburn outfit.

Let me guess: a rock?

 

It's a rock, isn't it?

 

Steve Martin pony & John Candy pony are still stuck on the train part of their journey.

That was nice.

 

Thanks, Amy.
