Okay, this is hilarious - it's like a scene from Airplane.

Oh man... given how stupid Dashie is acting, I can see this one being controversial. It's kinda funny though.

I wonder what this mysterious tweet from MA Larson could be about. I suppose I'll find out in a minute...

Really enjoyed this one - I love psychedelic, existential stuff so of course I'd love it. The only question remaining is which sci-fi film MLP is going to rip off next. So far we've had 1984 and Inception - anyone up for MLP meets Minority Report starring Tom Cruise? In all seriousness, a (very) dubious leak of episode titles lists one titled 'Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?'. As many have pointed out, this is a reference to 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?' - the book which Blade Runner is based on. We can hope, right?

Finally got around to commenting on this thread. This one was alright. Songs were kinda flat, but there was a decent amount of nostalgic stuff going on, and I'm a sucker for that sort of thing. Also,"I'm Pancake! I mean awake!" A tiny part of me is leaning toward buying a pony shirt, and if someone made that quote into a shirt, I'd be far more tempted than I should be to pick one up

Indeed. I think the biggest problem with Spike is that everyone (including the writers) has their own idea of what and who he is. To some, he's a comical straight man, to some he's an innocent/naive child and to some he's the clumsy one who messes everything up.

My thoughts exactly. He could have just busted them out with a letter to the princess, or... you know... being the only one who isn't entirely incompetent .

Just as a side note, if the mane 6 had taken Spike, the whole situation could have been resolved a lot easier... which I suppose is why the plot left him behind in the first place.

Wow... I'm still trying to collect my thoughts, but that was damned solid overall. I guess something you need to know about me is that I thrive on stuff that I find thematically interesting. Even if a story makes absolutely no logical sense, I can still enjoy it if it makes me think about unique or interesting ideas. Whilst the danger of forcing equality isn't exactly a new idea, what made it interesting was how it got played out in the context of MLP. Spoilers Ahead - You Have Been Warned Definitely one of the better season openers for me.

This was a huge thing for me. I'd been on a number of forum communities beforehand, but I never looked at them as places for making friends until I joined the Brony community. Most of the time, you'd go on, make your posts, have a few discussions and that was that. Here however, is a completely different story. Whether you want them to or not, people will send you friend requests and PMs like they're going out of fashion - and most of them do it because they genuinely want to get to know you. Eventually, I joined a pony community specifically for Australian Bronies and the response was similar. Heck, one guy even offered to come up and meet me in person. I think my most positive experience however was the first in-person meetup I ever attended. I'd attended a lot of fresher events for different uni clubs, so I wasn't exactly unfamiliar with large social gatherings. However, unlike those events, I left the Brony meetup feeling really happy. Not happy in the sense that I'd accomplished something, but happy in the sense of feeling really satisfied and optimistic. It took me a long time to pin down why I felt so happy, but in retrospect, I think it was because this group had such a profound sense of community. To illustrate what I mean, here are some comparisons between the Brony meetup and the fresher events I attended: Freshers: Food was provided, but it was pretty basic and only one or two people brought anything. Bronies: There was enough food to feed a god-damn army and nearly everyone brought something. Not only that, but most of the sweet stuff was home-made as well and I left feeling incredibly fat. Freshers: People wore normal clothes. Bronies: Everyone barring myself and one other person was wearing a pony shirt. While I'd later find out that most of those people don't usually wear pony shirts to meets, it did give off a certain "this is what we are, and we don't care what you think" vibe which was fun to be around. Freshers: When people talked, they tended to stick to really specific topics. Eventually, a small group would dominate discussions and other people would chime in with something every now and again. Bronies: Everyone was talking to someone, and peope talked about all kinds of stuff. I ended up getting into a really interesting conversation with a girl who works in her father's auto shop. She started helping him out from a young age, and ended up telling me lots of stuff about this antique car they were doing up. Freshers: All we'd really do is talk, and occassionally share silly Youtube videos. Bronies: We'd do that, but we'd also play a lot of card games as well. While I'm not hugely into MtG, I can at least thank them for introducing me to Cards Against Humanity... which i'm convinced everyone should try at least once. So... yeah. I like MLP, but I probably wouldn't still be into it if it weren't for the fandom.

While I was never under the impression that she was male, I did think she was tomboyish/butch... then Gilda came along. In comparison to her, Rainbow seems pretty feminine to me.

I honestly wasn't expecting that much, but this has gotten me pretty hyped up. Let's hope that the show delivers. PS: No matter how hard you try, the words "friendship is magic" don't sound epic. I don't even think Morgan Freeman would be able to pull that off.

Well, I'm pretty sure you can get seasons 1 and 2 on blu-ray in Germany but all the packaging is in German (English audio is included though). I hate to say this, but I'd honestly suspect there isn't enough demand to warrant a blu-ray release. While we've been getting SD box sets slowly, I would imagine it's mostly parents buying them for their children. That group probably wouldn't be interested. I think if we were to get a blu ray release, it would be some sort of 'complete collection' thing after the show finishes.
