  1. Okay, I'll say it: Gauntlet of Fire is the best Spike episode thus far.

      My order of Spike episodes from best to worst:

       

      1. Gauntlet

      2. Inspiration

      3. SoME

      4. Power Ponies

      5. E. Games

      6. Just for Sidekicks

      7. Spike at Your Service

      8. Owl's Well

      9. Princess Spike

      10. DQ

      It was a great Spike episode, but Ember stole the show.

  2. It may've been only a couple of episodes, but Spike has had a major improvement in S6. Oddly, ever since Princess Spike, the only bad role he had was accidentally destroying SA's comic book. Every other appearance seems to not put him at the short end of the stick.

  3. Finished watching Gauntlet of Fire. I don't know if it eclipses Inspiration Manifestation as best Spike episode, but it's fabulous to see Spike treated with dignity, respect, and maturity. Maybe with Josh Haber at the helm, Spike won't be treated as a punching bag.

      Its a little odd, considering Spike's a major supporting character to the protagonist Twilight, that he gets little respect. The episode did Spike justice and the dragons.

      I agree. It achieved a lot of things where Dragon Quest failed. It didn't stereotype dragons; in fact, this episode challenged it. Stereotypical views of masculinity and femininity were bluntly criticized. Spike wasn't flanderized or OOC. The moral of how people can cooperate and learn from others when you don't operate upon unwritten rules is really mature.

  4. LA Kings are out! Sharks advance!

  5. Just noticed that Amy's Baking Company has closed.

      They verbally abused their customers and employees. Their dishwashers and waiters were paid hourly, and any tips given to waiters were pocketed by the owner. Waiting times were terrible, and the food was lousy. But the cook believes she's excellent and doesn't accept any criticism. Their desserts (perhaps their best food) was store-bought.

       

      Their worldwide notoriety comes from them being featured on Kitchen Nightmares.

      Oh I guess it is good that it is closed then?

  6. Tonight, Jake Arrieta threw his second no-no in his last 11 regular-season starts. The last time he lost in the regular season (July 25, '15), Cole Hamels no-hit the Cubs.

  7. Jake Arrieta's dominance continues! Another no-hitter, this one at Cincinnati! 16-0, the final! :D

  8. First NHL Playoff series comes to a close! Tampa Bay knocks out Detroit in five games!

  9. So, Clinton claims she wants to unite the Democratic Party, but a pro-Clinton SuperPAC run by David Brock (owner of other pro-Clinton propaganda junk) has initiated an online vigilante program to flame, harass, and stalk Bernie Sanders supporters. Nice effort to unify the party and remove corruption. */sarcasm*

      She's to the Democrats what Trump is to the Republicans, after all.

      At least this guy's upfront about being underhanded and filthy.

  10. Even today, I think many of us fans take professional wrestling for granted. Wrestlers literally punish their bodies for our entertainment, and a lot of them pay a very hefty price.

      And sometimes, they have @$$hole bosses who just won't cut them a break on top of it. (*Cough!*VinceMcMahon.*Cough!*)

  11. Maybe it's me getting older, but how come every year, it feels like more and more celebrities die?

      I knew i forgot somebody, which is even more depressing. So many die, that you even forget one or two names.

      Makes you feel saddened with just how nasty of a business Wrestling is. It's rather expected they die some where in their 50's or so apparently

  12. RIP, Chyna.

      Guest90210

      Wow, totally unexpected... RIP. I hope she gets a Hall of Fame induction

  13. I would've voted for Hillary Clinton if she became the nominee, but after seeing her husband both bash BLM and defend Hillary's racist "superpredator" term and herself suck up to imperalistic racism (stereotyping Palestinians and implicating Sanders is antisemitic for criticizing Israel), I don't know anymore.

    1. Guest90210

      Guest90210

      Pretty much my thoughts as well. She just comes off as fake to me... Pandering to squeeze out as many votes as she can, falsely accusing her opponents to further her own campaign

      Just go 3rd party this year :P

  14. I would've voted for Hillary Clinton if she became the nominee, but after seeing her husband both bash BLM and defend Hillary's racist "superpredator" term and herself suck up to imperalistic racism (stereotyping Palestinians and implicating antisemitism against Sanders for criticizing Israel), I don't know anymore.

  15. FIM #42 is Katie Cook's last FIM comic. Regardless of my grievances, I wish her well.

  16. Wrigley Field's renovations for 2016 really impress me.

  17. One big flaw from Power Rangers's early series that really breaks the suspension of disbelief: Why the hell don't any of their families/parents know a damn thing about what they do? Would their long stays outside the home make them suspicious of them possibly being PRs?

    1. AkiraLeeJounouchi

      AkiraLeeJounouchi

      Ahh the days before PR was fleshed out. It's why even though I'm a fan of MMPR I also acknowledge that it is a cheezy piece of crap of which the quality either gets better or worse after ZEO depending on the showrunner. BTW I would HIGHLY RECOMMENDED the Boom Studios MMPR Reboot Comics. Where the rangers ACTUALLY GO HOME AND INTERACT WITH THEIR PARENTS!!!

      We're talking about a TV show about teenagers beating the crap out of giant monsters from an evil witch living on the moon while wearing colorful spandex and piloting giant robots. I highly doubt most of us kids really cared about their parents or what they thought their kids were doing :P

  18. IMO, Bernie Sanders's strongest answer in last night's Democratic Debate is his criticisms of Israel and statement that we should treat the Palestinians as human beings.

  19. Apparently, the Season 5 Discussion subforum lacks a custom icon. What do you recommend? Mine is the Equality symbol

    1. Yozer247

      Yozer247

      I agree with the equality symbol, season 6's aught to be baby flurry heart ^^

    2. Mesme Rize

      Mesme Rize

      I second that notion.

  20. I'll take Blue Nation Review seriously once it stops lying about Sanders and sucking up to both Clinton and the Super PAC that its owner is associated with.

  21. One of the NBA's most storied records has fallen! The Warriors finish the regular season at 73-9! Congratulations, Golden State! :D

  22. Memo to myself: hammer the shit out of the PPG reboot episode, Horn, Sweet Horn.

    1. Cleverclover

      Cleverclover

      Yeah, I should probably compile some thoughts on the show as a whole myself.

    2. Wind Chaser

      Wind Chaser

      I think PPG is doomed, because of the combination of the volatility of social justice culture and how clumsy the show itself is with social issues. It's the perfect storm for trouble.

  23. Major controversy about one of PPG's latest episodes: an episode about gender identity with MAJOR transphobic implications. From what I'm reading, the fans' anger is 100% justified.

      Oh, right. I was too distracted by how much it parodied MMC.

      Just watched it even though I'm not keeping up with that show. Not going to after this either cause that was terrible. "That's not a unicorn, that's just...sad." What the literal f*ck.

      ^ Can't blame ya. Jitterbug outright hammered it for this shit.
