    Walp, we all know what their solution was.

    Naw. No Coldplay.

    What sort of world do we live in? A world where terrorists can behead an American on camera, post it to the world wide web, and millions of people will watch it. What the fuck is wrong with us? Thomas Ades, Overture to The Tempest.

    Whoever named the Aardvark just wanted to get to the top of the encyclopedia.

      Aaron was so close. Nobody knows what an aardvark is anyhow

    Alright episode. I really dug the adventure elements with the idol and the abyss and shit, but the moral was really sappy and heavy-handed. Did it ever occur to Pinkie or Dash that the reason these Griffons never do anything for free is that they live in total squalor?

    Johnny Cash, with Hurt. God knows this world hurts sometimes.

    FiM's time period seems to be intentionally muddled and confusing. While Apple Loosa seems to be somewhere in the mid-late 19th century, other areas such as Ponyville and Canterlot seem to evoke a confoundingly anachronistic medieval/modern motif. Manehattan appears the most consistently modern, with styles and technologies that evoke the 1930s or 40s, though the only automobile we have seen in the show comes to us courtesy of 1909-era con artists Flim and Flam. Hearth's Warming Eve clues us in by definitively connecting "the ye olden days" to the middle ages (except for the Roman Pegasi), but that only makes it more confusing. Has the majority of Equestrian society advanced that little in those thousands of years since the founding of Equestria? What other formative events must have happened in the interim? Did Equestria ever have a renaissance, or an age of imperialism? What's keeping the tech levels of the realm so drastically disparate? What did the equestrian timeline look like in those strange millennia between the founding and the present day?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4Uv_4jGgAM Peacetime is always so short-lived. Arm some anti-soviet rebels in the 80s, they drag you into a quagmire in the new millennium. Funny how that works out. Lose Yourself, by Eminem.

    "Good mornin', Big Apple. We're looking at midday highs of about 86 degrees; overnight lows of 63 degrees here in Manhattan. Overall, expect the temperature to be juuuuust right as you make your way into work today on this crisp September morning. We're looking at clear skies today, but a slight chance of rain on Friday and Saturday. It's 8 A.M. on a Tuesday, and we'll be right back with your morning traffic report. But first, here's Brandy and Ray-J with their rendition of Phil Collins' Another Day In Paradise."

    She was on something, but I don't think it was that. I'm no expert, but I doubt weed debilitates you to nearly the extent shown in the episode. If you ask me, she probably lost her shit at Discord once or twice. Fits with the 60s hippie thing, after all...

    I've never heard of this website, but devoting an entire site to streaming copyrighted material is a good way to get a target painted on your forehead. Hasbro can't exactly let them show the entire show (and movies) for free. EQD always has Youtube links after an episode airs.

    Process of elimination. Not Fluttershy's cottage, unless I want to get mauled by a bear. Not Rainbow Dash's place, it's made of freakin' clouds. Not Applejack's farm. I'd hate farmwork. Not Rarity's boutique. Though not outwardly disadvantageous, but the building itself looks rather small. I doubt there'd be a spare room. Leaving me with Sugarcube Corner, or Twilight's tr... Oh right, it's a castle now. She'd probably have plenty of spare room for me, and a free pancake breakfast to boot. Sounds like my best bet.

    Alright, just so you all know, I've already pre-written the next 15 years under a different blog name. A Century of Song will remain a century, but we're still going to progress to the present day.

    Mand'alor Dash posted a blog entry in A Century of Song

    And today, our century-long journey arrives at its end. I hope you've had as much fun reading/listening to it as I have writing it. I've never finished a project this grand before. It feels... liberating. Like I beat the odds. Far too often, I was tempted to just give up. But I pushed myself long and hard to keep these years rolling out on time. I learned alot from this experience, and I can only hope you all have too. And so, I leave you in this new millennium with a genre that, until now, I had never thought to cover. This is classical composer Phillip Glass, with Concerto Fantasy. Good night, and good luck.

    Rainbow/Twilight. I do really like the show, I do talk about it, and I do have exactly one piece of pony merch in my room, but I talk about other stuff alot more frequently. Ask me about the World Wars, I could go on for an hour at least. Ask me about ponies, maybe about 10 minutes.

    You are not a hero. You can still be a good person, through acts of kindness both large and small, calculated and random. You can work to better yourself and those around you in a number of ways, but you are not a hero. And the harder you try, the harder you push, the more you dedicate your life to being a hero, the more you fuck up the world.

    Mand'alor Dash posted a blog entry in A Century of Song

    I decided to go back to basics for the final entry. No pop, no rap, not even rock. This blog was started by a fan of big band, and that's the note I want to end on. A reminder to celebrate the classics, regardless of what year you were born. Like the old song goes, It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing). I leave you with Tony Bennet. He's been in the game since 1949, and he's still going strong today. He might even be turning Lady Gaga into the next great jazz singer. Someone's gotta carry the torch, after all. Ah, what the hell! Come back tomorrow. I've got one more entry in me...

    Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees, haters. Tell me more about how watching pony makes us less manly than you. I'm sure you're all completely secure in your masculinity.
  23. Mand'alor Dash
    Yeah, that kind of came out of nowhere. Maybe if the writers hadn't held off 'till the last moment, it would have resonated a bit better.

    That was really something, wasn't it? Mad Men was quite a ride. Never before have I seen a show portray such a pivotal era in our history with that level of accuracy and depth. It was like going all the way back to the 1960s for 40 minutes at a time. And now it's over. Sally's off to school, Betty's come to terms with her death, Joan is going into the pictures, Sterling and Campbell are getting remarried, Peggy's found love, and Don... I think Don's going to be okay. Overall, surprisingly on the "sweet" side of the bittersweet ending we all expected. A sense that the world, and the lives of all who inhabit it, is starting anew. TV Dramas may be getting better (in stark contrast to almost everything else on TV), but surpassing an achievement like Mad Men will take some doing. So... What did you all think?
