    Alright I am just going to say now, this not a review or analysis of any kind. This will be me sort venting a little bit, and is sort of the same thing as my other topic. Another thing to note is that this will be serious, there will be no jokes like the others. So now that I have gotten that outta the way, I am just going to head right into this thing (also yes this is a kinda repost of the topic I made with the same title, so expect some lines being repeated).
     
    The title for this says it all really, I am just really lonely and could somebody to talk. Now don't get me wrong I have a good old time with my friends and family, but I can't help but feel somewhat distant from them. I know that is sort of confusing, so allow me to explain myself some more. You see I am the quiet type you doesn't talk that much cause of me being shy and socially awkward, and because of this I can't help but fade into the background. So yeah it would nice just to have somebody just to talk with, who I can open with and let out all of my inner thoughts with, or maybe a story/fanfic idea I have in my head and get some feedback on it. Who knows maybe I asking a little bit much, and maybe this all very selfish on my part. To tell you all the truth I have no idea if those are all in my head, or if they are completely truth. Well I might end this right now before I go on a giant rant about the last part and go all philosophical on you guys. So since I don't know how to end things, let's just end this now.

    Not being dead

    By MrRiderman,

    Wow Look at this place I think see some cobwebs, and dust lots and lots of dust. So yeah I am not dead or at least I think I am still alive, and for those who are wondering yes I feel better than the last time I posted here. You see I been busy working on stuff (which is mostly art) and dealing with real life. I got a new OC which I might be showing off soon, and will be my sort of ponysona. I never thought I hear those words come out of my mouth, anyways yeah I might be more active on the forum. Instead of lurking in a dark corner of it, and refusing to come out. This whole analyzing blog might not get recovered, however it will get reborn into something different. It will still be about analyzing things though, and oh yeah I might get into RPing some more. That's all I have say for now really, and I hope to see you all around. This has been MrRiderman signing off.

    Being alive

    By MrRiderman,

    Hello everyone I am MrRiderman, and I am in fact alive and well. So yeah I have not been that active on here of a long time because a little project I have been working on. I am not saying what is right now because I am horrible person and will keep you all waiting and guessing. Why have you have been putting this on hold according to MrRiderman, and haven't post anything yet I hear somebody ask. Well I did plan on posting some according to me, but just haven't finished yet. You see when I make on these I mostly just do it all in one go, and what you get on these blogs thingers. However the ones I haven't finished, I thoughts weren't straight and I couldn't get to the point. It was one of them got of topic, and another I just didn't finish. Now with according to me I want not only give my opinions on things, but also try to explain them. I don't want to be all UGH THIS SUCKS BECAUSE IT SUCKS AND IT'S REALLY BAD. Same thing with good things too, I want to explain myself and make sure you know why I feel is way on whatever. Hence why this call according to MrRiderman, I don't just rag on stuff for no good reason or without explaining myself first.This is also why I sort began to move away from rating systems this isn't for reviews, it's for my thoughts and opinions on stuff. Which when I thought about shouldn't be bowled to numbers, and so I replaced with a almost fake rating that might make no sense to some people.
     
    So yeah I going to reveal my secret protect to you all sometime this week, and which what I spent so much time working on. Anyways thanks for reading this, and once again this has MrRiderman signing off.

    Bats!

    By MrRiderman,

    Hello I am MrRiderman and this is according to me, today I will be looking at Bats! Now this episode is good, but this review/analysis was sort of hard to write. I don't know why, but the little things just seem to turn into rants. So I will try my best to stay on topic, and not go on any mini rants.
     
    Alright so we start out with AJ bucking some apples, only to find out they were pretty much sucked dry. So she calls together the other main 5, and states that her farm is in danger because the vampire fruit bats are eating all of the apples. So AJ wants them gone because the bats are going to cause a lot less apple to be produced. She is also scared they will eat giant blue ribbon wining apple. However Fluttershy says she can tried and stop the bats. She fails and gets apple seeds all over her. AJ is now feed up with the bats, and decide they have to go.
     
    Which leads into a song that sounds like it was made by Danny Elfman. Yet at the same time this is also where the lines are drawn for some people. What with the other main 5 gaining up on flutters, after she said why she thinks the bats should stay. Now this very out of character for them, however after the song they just turn back to their normal. Flutters also then agrees with them do to peer pressure, however something still the song bugged me.
     
    That is until I found I very interesting theory. This theory basically says that the part about the 5 being all rude and big bad bullies is all in flutter's head. Which makes when you think about it because when they switch between AJ's and Flutter's view of the bats it changes the aesthetics of the scene, which is obvious symbolism. So since Flutter is very sensitive and such, when nobody takes sides with her it might come off to her as them gaining up on her. This also explains why the others are back in character the moment the song ends cause they never were, that was just how Flutters saw the whole thing.
     
    So next thing they are gathering up all the bats, so Flutters can use the stare on them and Twilight can brainwash them not to eat any apples. Which stops the Vampire fruit bats from eating apples, however they still are fruit bats. Now they probably went to eat something else, and do the same thing they did with the apples. This will not get rid of the way the bats act, instead the bats will just go to another pony and eat all of their fruits. That is not solving a problem, it just putting the problem somewhere else.
     
    So yeah as it turns out, that somehow caused the the desire to be a fruit bat into Flutters. Which means instead of fruit bats, AJ has Flutterbat to worry about. However right now she doesn't care about anything as a long as she gets her friend back. Well that all peachy keen, and they use AJ's giant apple to make sure Flutterbat comes into their trap. Where they somehow get her to use the stare on herself, even though it something only Flutters herself can do at will.
     
    We then end with the lesson being monologue-d, and a zoom into to show that Flutters still has her fangs. Alright so what I did think of this episode, well the song was good and it was very interesting premise. Some people might hate on the conflict because of politics and the like. However truth be told I not much of a politics kind of guy, so I don't think I should get into anything unless I have some experience with that. So this episode gets my Tetris out of 100. This has been MrRIderman signing out and remember that lamps make good weapons.

    Power Ponies

    By MrRiderman,

    Hello there I am MrRiderman and this is according to me. Today I'll be looking at power ponies a spike episode. Now before I go any farther, let just say I'll not go though the entire episode. Why? Well you see this episode is pretty by the numbers, I don't need to tell the plot because from reading a quick description you'll probably know how this episode is going to turn out. If you still don't know after reading a short description, here is the basic rundown.
    (YES YES, I know I am hypocrite feel free to tell me so in the comments) The main six and spike go to the ruined castle in castle-mane-ia to repair it, and spike feels useless. They all then get sucked into spike's magical comic, all of the main six get super powers and become superheroes, Spike is just sidekick. Spike becomes sad cause he is sidekick, main 6 get captured, spike saves them, and Flutters hulks out. Lesson learn all get sent back to "the real world" the end.
    Now that is out of the way, I feel the need to talk about Spike himself cause you know it's a spike episode. So I feel the need to ask this question, who is Spike? Now I don't mean in a literal sense like he is a baby dragon, I mean who is Spike as a person or dragon? Sometimes he is mature, other times he acts his age. Sometimes he is selfish, and others selfless. You see what I am getting at here? Spike has no specif character traits, and this has the writes just making Spike whatever they want him to be. That or Spike has multi-personalities that are always at odds with one another, you decide.
    Now back to the episode, I thought it was enjoyable. In fact that sums up everything in this episode, a fun little roller coaster at Disney park. If you accept the things the episode gives at you, you get a good fun little ride. However if you ate a plate full of stubbornness, and get on the ride. The whole thing will get messy, and you come off it feeling like goo. Overall this episode gets a C out of five stars. This has been MrRiderman sighing off, and remember free burritos are the best kind of burritos.

    Hello there this is according to me, and today I'll be looking flight to the finish. Well this episode sure came out faster then expected, and it was all thanks for my need to finish this whole thing in one long stretch. So yeah sorry if their are few grammar mistakes, I'll fix them in the morning or something. Sorry if I sound lazy, I am just tired because of working this hole thing. Now back on topic this episode has retrieved lots of great scores, and reviewers all over seem to like this episode a lot. I am one of those reviewers, this episode is very good. Heck it probably top 10 favorite episodes of this season, but why is Flight to the finish the next best thing since canned double rainbows that shoot out all sort of candy?
     
    Well the story is kinda simple, but it works pretty well. You there is a competition where all of the colts and foals put on a show, and whoever puts on the best show wins and gets to the be the flag carriers for the Equestria games. While putting on their show of all of Equestria. So naturally the CMC sign, and go into training montage. Which is really seems unnecessary because they are not shown practicing their show routine, and instead doing the normal training montage. However I can forgive it because of song playing Hearts as Strong as horses, this pretty good. Not great or amazing mind you, but still good nun the less. Now after it's over and they do their routine, they get in. Now with a local bullies Diamond Tiara, and Sliver Spoon they decided to make the hole thing fall part because if they didn't then they would be kicked off the show. They do this by getting into Scootaloo, and taunting her about not being able to fly.
     
    Which is when we get to the juicy, moist, and hearty meat of this episode. The conflict in here is very done, and is pretty great. Scootaloo tries her best to be able to fly, but just can't. However she just keeps on trying anyways causing her friends to tell to just let go, but if she did then we won't have gotten this good of a episode. Leading to her doing not very thought out things, and a emotional conflict. It makes me feel sort bad enjoying this conflict, but it's just so freaking good. I can help be smile and cry at the same time for different reasons.
     
    So with this good of a conflict, it better have a good solution to this or else things just won't feel right. A good example of this in magic duel, Trixie just saying I am sorry at the last minute didn't feel right because it was out of left field. We didn't get to see Trixie come to terms to Twilight on screen, so since it had no build up and just happened. It don't feel like it had any weight to it, and so Trixie's sorry didn't feel like good closure to the conflict. I could go on about this, but I save it for when I review magic duel.
     
    Back on to the point Scootaloo gets all depressed and realized she never fly. She goes home and tears off all of her posters and puts them in the trash instead of on the train to the games. Which just typing this is bringing to tears to my eyes, and no I not making this up for dramatic effect. Stop looking at me like that, I am telling the truth here!! Rainbow Dash sees that The CMC are missing a member, and then figuring stuff out goes over to Scootaloo's home. Which Dashie tells her to stop being all down on yourself, and that she isn't completely worthless. After which Scootaloo, and the rest of CMC get on the train by means of impossible stunts.
     
    So they win happy ending, and all that good stuff. So now that's I am done with all of that, what are some of my final thoughts. This episode is great, and the song is pretty good to boot. The conflict is very good, and has a good conclusion to it. With all the other stuff I said up there I give this episode my seal of approval, and a 9 out of 10. This has been MrRiderman, sighing off and remember don't trust bears with your kids.

    Wow, it's been a really long time since I made another according to MrRiderman, and I think this blog of my is dead. *Checks heart beat* Yep it's dead, does anyone even remember the first entry of this? Oh well guess I'll have to play Dr.Frankenstein, and bring this thing back to life by making long posts that will consume all of my free time. Alright now let's serious here, by the time you read this post I'll be working on another one of these about "Bats!" or "Flight to The Finish". So yeah expect that which will be a toned down version of my old review because I don't feel like going though a entire episode, and commenting on ever little thing in it. It takes a long time to write and I have exams coming up, so yeah I'll try my best fulfill my promises. So now on I'll only be doing those on special events or events I deem special.
     
    Finally I won't just focus on reviewing mlp:fim or just cartoons for that matter. It will be on stuff like, well I don't know Blue jeans? Yeah sure why not I don't see anyone else talking about blues jeans, or heck why not red jeans! Why does everyone like the blues and not the reds, why don't most shops have red jeans, is there some sort of plot against them? If so why is there a plot against them, will they take over people legs, and then soon the entire the body!? Oh man I better warn everybody!! Sorry about cutting it sort right here, but I have me some red pants to slay. *Runs off with a sword and shield*

    Daring Don't

    By MrRiderman,

    Hello there I'm MrRiderman and this is according to me, today I'll looking at Darinnnnnng, Don't. Now I have few things to say about this series first off I'll be going though the entire episode, so if you haven't watched it yet then go do that. Second off I'm not sure if I'm going to be keeping this format, this is of course my first time doing this and things may changes. Lastly I'm doing this for fun and trying to keep things semi-serous, if you disagree if me on anything please respectfully state your opinion in the comments below. Alright I know I said lastly, but one more thing I promise. If you have any ideas on how I might make this thing better and more enjoyable please leave a comment or PM me respectfully.
     
    So let's not waste any more time and dive into the episode itself. We start off with Rainbow dash being all hyped up about the new Daring Do book coming out in only 4 months! So after a unfortunate encounter with Fluttershy, Dashie goes to Twilight to tell her the exciting news, with all of her friends there as well because Pinky is throwing a plot convenience party. Only to be told that for some reason the book has been delayed 2 more months, so she figures something might have happened to the author A.K. Yearling. So she tells the other that they should go to her house and help out with it bit. All of them agree expect for twilight who thinks they shouldn't be going around in other people's business, when she did the same thing in other episodes... Don't you all love characters that have keep the same personality though out the series like in Bridle Gossip, where everypone is pretty much a jerk. Hey look at that Discord is giving out free buckets of candy to all the children, while spinning around in a tutu.
    Well I think that explained my case fairly well to the court of whoever is reading this, so getting on with the episode our heroes travel to A.K.s house by means of map. When they get there they see that her house is completely wrecked, and finds who else but A.K. walking in to her own home with a bunch of strangers already inside. Then after A.K. just assumes they did this to her house, and then unlocks a book safe which has a golden ring in it. Twilight then drags Dash out of the house to give her a good talking to and the others follow because reasons.. So after Twilight goes out of character, The mane six see a bunch of generic thugs sneak into A.K.'s house. Only to find out that DUN DUN DUN A.K. was Daring Do all along!!!! Now this really opens up a lot of some questions in the MLP:FIM universe revealing that Daring Do is real, and in order to prevent myself from going going on really long rant going on for way to long. I'll just throw the points in when we need to be thrown in, good?
     
    Alright good, now saying that here is question #1 The Media. There has been a lot of Daring Do books released in Equestria, so don't tell me the media wouldn't be all over her case when the new book got delays for another 2 month or heck the media would have already been all over her case before she delayed book because we all know how the media can get sometimes. What's to stop a newspaper writer from finding out Daring Do is A.K. because he/she went to A.K.'s house to discover the next big scoop. It also doesn't help that her "secret" identity isn't all that that good, but now I'm really getting off topic here.
     
    Anyways as Daring is clearly being confronted by the thugs (who work for Dr.Caballeron), and the mane 6 stand there in awe. Now I wouldn't have a problem with this, if it only lasted a few seconds and then the mane 6 go in there to help her out. However sadly they just continue standing there in awe as Daring tries to keep the ring away from the thugs, only to have Rainbow Dash distract her and let the baddies take away the ring.Then Daring goes after the thugs and refuse Rainbow Dash's offer to help her. Dash goes after Daring having a pretty great fangirl vs fangirl moment with Twilight. Daring doesn't really take well to her, after all she did just cause the ring to fall into the baddies hoofs. It also doesn't help that Dash keeps on fangirling over her, which then leads Daring to get distracted again. It also doesn't help that she distracted her, when she was battling Ahuizotl (who is another one of Daring Do's enemies) and gets captured. Rainbow Dash is then sulking in the forest, when Twilight and company comes along to ask her what's up. Dash then explains the whole thing, and Twilight tells it ok and she should go off and save her hero. Well thank princess Celestia that we have the old Twilight back and oh speaking of the princess there is something I want to cover with her that has to do with A.K. being Daring, but I'll get to later.
     
    So Daring Do is captured and hold onto a wall with water underneath that has piranhas in it. She then escapes with some of the block ring things causing their weight to make it harder for her to fly. However Dashie comes to her aid and saves her life. Meanwhile the other mane 6 are trying to stop Ahuizotl from placing the ring into I assume to be a giant version of those stackable rings toy for babies. No seriously am I the only one who thinks that the thing they put rings onto looks like on of those stackable rings toy. So this doing this cause the sun become even hotter. This leads me to another question that I have, also warning the next thing will be a huge rant so look out.
     
    Question# 2 what going with princesses? I mean let's think about this if placing these rings on the thing causes the sun to become hotter, how will it effect Equestria as a whole. Well if effects the sun making it hotter, than the climate would have changed though the whole planet and Equestria. Pretty much changing how changing a lot of thing like the climate, which will effect the crops, which will effect the economy, which will effect living conditions (even without the economy),and so and so fourth. So shouldn't at least on of the princesses besides Twilight do something about!?!?! Do the others don't know about Daring Do, and if so then why not? They are the rulers of the kingdom, they should keep track of all this stuff. If they do know about, then aren't they helping?!?! I know Daring Do works alone and all that other stuff, but this is a pretty big deal. Did they always expected her to take care all of this stuff, or maybe they're just too feed up with her "I work alone" thing and decided to sit on their bums playing video-games all day while eating pizza!!!!
     
    Alright Riderman calm down, breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out. Alright you good now. Yep thanks myself now anyways now on with the show, Daring then thanks Dash for saving her life, and then they go to the help the others. Now all of the mane 6 help are Daring Do get the Rings out of the thing and destroy them, with Dashie helping Daring out with the last one. The day is now saved Dash and Daring hug, and when Dash gets home she finds out that she got the latest book earlier because of Daring.
     
    Well that was short, anyway time to warp this whole thing up. So after reading all of this you might think that I really hate episode, that I want it to burn forever in the episode underworld with all the other bad episodes. Well surprise, surprise then because I don't think this episode is all that bad. Bet you didn't see that one coming did ya? In all honesty I like this one and I don't think it's the worse the series has to offer, however it's not a bad episode either. I found myself enjoying some parts of it, and even though the question are still there I'm sure they are going to solve to it right? Right??
