  1. While I have to disagree with some of your points simply because I think you're sometimes asking too much from writing (or human behavior, reactions and thought patterns in general), I share your despise for this episode; you summed up everything to dislike about it and presented it in a very structured and detailed way.

     

    For me, as I wrote in my little review, the missing connection between lesson and cause of trouble, between the problem and it's presented "cause" were the most messed up things in this episode.

     

    Note: By now I even get the feeling that the staff sorts out the most acceptable episode ideas, gets 20 to 23 each season, fills the missing spots with obviously bad ones and writes at least one of them as a Spike episode because it's an "easy" way out.

    WHY THE FUCK SHOULD PROVING THE ABILITY TO LEAD HAVE TO REVOLVE AROUND PLAYING GAMES WITH INNOCENT LIVES?!!

     

    ... Damn, in retrospective, that's the most obvious flaw of the episodes' plot - why did it never strike me? For someone who's usually trying to do the best for her own people, Celestia seriously f*cked this one up. Then again, she did that before - but more out of simple imperfection than out of "semi-unintentional-evelish" plotting. The population of the Crystal Empire wasn't her people ... Wait, that thought is going into an even more awful direction ...

     

    @, As a Spike fan, I sadly have to admit that these thoughts never crossed my mind.

  3. Okay, now this is coming from a guy whose native language is German. When I look at English, the biggest difference in comparison to German is... the, um, precision. Language is a tool for communication. But what's the point when you're not actually improving it? I don't say language can't change; of course it does. But multiple meanings for the same word is just one additional thing to make everything more simple at first, but even more complicated in the end. That's my honest opinion on that matter.

     

    At the same time, I like English for being so charmingly and weirdly flexible. Yet, sometimes, it's actually quite difficult to understand some things, especially because of things like this whole literally-thingy here.

  4. Happy New Year, and you don't have to worry about bumming anyone out. We all feel like that at one time or another, but I don't think you were ever guilty o doing that, at least with me. You're pretty cool.

     

    Thanks, that actually means a lot to me coming from you. Maybe it's just that I can remember those days when I posted depressive status updates the most. :/

  5. I... don't know what to say.

     

    You were one of the first people to welcome me here on the forums. Back in May when this place was definitely different. I guess the only things keeping me here are the fact that I can't talk about ponies elsewhere... and that my life outside of the internet is even less delightful than here.

     

    I know I didn't talk all that much to you, but that one PM helped me. Really. I was to afraid to reply again because I didn't want to appear like just some guy who changes his opinion in no time. Or as someone who ignores his problems in the end and still cries "Woe is me!" I wanted you to know that.

     

    I guess there are still some people on here that will miss you. Count me in. Just knowing that people stay on here helps a lot to actually think of this place as an community.

     

    Good bye. And good luck.

  6. Whoa...

     

    I never had the impression you were unappreciated or that your opinions would go unappriciated. I won't lie, I don't agree with everything you say.

     

    But threats? Who'd do that? What sic- *sigh*

     

    I just wish you the best. Goodbye, Harmonic. I hope you'll return one day. I always felt like you were one of the few really active ones here. You didn't just post, you also responded.
