  1. http://mlpforums.com/blog/91/entry-10678-sleepless-in-ponyville-reviewanalysis-revised/ <--- I wrote this review over a year ago. It's been revised.

      Eh, let zygons be zygons. We both find enough episodes to be awesome that one difference in opinion ain't gonna part the Red Sea or something :)

      Yeahh. I'm not usually too tough of a reviewer :P Only outright hate "Sonic Rainboom," "Sleepless in Ponyville," and "The Cutie Mark Chronicles." Disliked a few more, and I've just absolutely loved the rest :P

  2. The less usage of "spaghetti" as a slur to demean the mentally deficient (like "retarded" and "autistic"), the better.

      I don't think I've ever heard the word "spaghetti" used as a slur o.O

      Some bronies and anti-bronies from /mlp/ and /b/ will troll EQD and say shit like "The spaghetti is obvious here" in response to drama.

      I have never heard this before. Just another reason for me to stay out of /mlp/ and /b/, I guess.

  3. Everyone should know that Twilight's the background pony now. :P

      Poor, poor Tara Strong.

  4. A question: What are your favorite FIM episodes?

      Hey, sorry I didn't respond to your question before now; I've been busy in real life and with other posts I was making, and this kind of fell by the wayside.

       

      The short answer to your question is that I don't really have any pre-made list of favorite episodes. I haven't even tried to make any lists of favorite or least favorite episodes, nor have I tried to give any kind of quantitative rankings to episodes.

       

      For one thing, I just don't think I'm ve...

  5. Well, how about that? The projected winner of the NCAA Men's Tournament (Michigan State) got upset! :D

  6. The best way to know MLB season is just about to fully return? Reading news about the Oakland A's not being able to use their O.co Coliseum locker rooms because of raw sewage. AGAIN!

  7. Usually for an FIM episode, "it's not the destination, but the journey." Well, when the episode's story is so down the letter with nothing unique to keep things fresh, it can easily become an average episode at least (i.e., LoF) and terrible at worst (Dragon Quest, Rainbow Falls).

      @Chikorita: I concur. Leap of Faith did have some good things (AJ's characteriztion [Haber's great at this], Silver Shill, the lost continuity of Granny's hip finally addressed), but the plot's so obvious from beginning to end, and it doesn't hide it. For the most part, Haber's three stories follow the book, but little does he deviate from it.

      You can't simply follow the steps and have the audience ignore it for so long. You must alter it to liven the story and make it belong to FIM instead of it capable of sharing elsewhere.

  8. LoF: Good characterization of Applejack and good background gags, but marred by a very predictable story that doesn't dare to switch it up nor camouflague the Flim Flam Brothers' fraud without obliviousness and stupidity. Easily the most average episode this season.

  9. Watching the two-game set between the Mets and Blue Jays in Montreal's Olympic Stadium makes me hope to see Major League Baseball back in Montreal again. :(

      they should move the Marlins to Montreal because god knows the Marlins have the worst owners in sports and don't give a shit about their product

    2. Dark Qiviut

      Not gonna happen: The Marlins have a 40-year lease in Marlins Park. The only possible ways for a team to be in Montreal are either expansion to thirty-two teams or the A's relocating.

  10. >mfw The StoryTrollers and Byter are among the few well-known critics to address Magical Mystery Cure's major issues and acknowledge it as the piece of shit last season's finale truly was.

      Woah, Discord's really resorting to cheap "chaotic" tactics now. Scrambling the letters of "Apple Bloom" to "Discord"? FOR SHAME!

  13. mlpforums.com/topic/89885-2014-mlp-forums-march-madness-tournament-west-region-sweet-sixteen/ <--- Our chaotic lord, Discord, needs your votes!

  14. One thing I've learned when analyzing and reviewing episode is how if you can't get the bigger picture correct, then the smaller details are moot. I can analyze the good smaller things for Spike at Your Service, but the bigger things are badly mishandled.

  15. *tsk, tsk, tsk* Some bull rubbish needs to be scooped up.

  18. As MrEnter has an "Animated Atrocity" Notebook template, I'm thinking of using it for several of the worst MLP episodes.

    1. ghostfacekiller39

      ghostfacekiller39

      I should do that too.

       

      Hell, I should do one just for "Sleepless in Ponyville" :3

  19. ""It's for kids/little girls!" is a STUPID excuse!" <--- I need to start that blog and squash this fallacy.

      Look up Rivendare's status update and click on the link on the vid to realize my hate for that statement. I eagerly anticipate that blog's arrival.

  20. Here's a question: How much do you guys hate The Legend of the Titanic and its sequel, Tentacolino? (I only saw six minutes of a Tentacolino review, and I just lost some brain cells.)

      It's existence is a shameful blemish on the existence of the human race, and proves why it's OK if the machines take over.

  21. How ironic. When Polsky wrote his first six episodes, they were shrouded in controversy and were sometimes the most disliked. Now he's on a roll with three fantastic episodes. (For Whom the Sweetie Belle Toils is quite good, and I may call this one of the best this season if it holds up.)

      Daring Don't was his usual comedic flare. RTM was supposed to replicate the same style, but McCarthy suggested a more mature direction, something he since stuck with.

    3. Wind Chaser

      Wind Chaser

      Where does Polsky or McCarthy mention this?

    4. Dark Qiviut

      Polsky said it during an AMA on Twitter while RTM was on the air.
