More_Fluttershy

Something like this is extremely unpredictable and would be unable to be even assumed. Plus, I hardly even remember my OC anymore. I don't think it's necessary to pull it out of the dark, it just didn't work out.

Was this the episode that got me into the series? Of course it was! Why would I not start with the first episode, am I right!? And I loved it at the time. However, after going much deeper into the show, you realize, eh, it's kind of-- dull. It's not really that much of a problem, as with the first episode (actually, the first couple), we can never truly figure out exactly what the show wanted to be. And now we know it's gonna take risks and take them well. Here, it's just a bit underdone. The first half does fine at introducing the characters, led to some pretty funny moments, and was just nice, but first the characters were slightly flanderized. It kinda needed to be that, though, in order to fit all thier main character triats into under 22 minutes, so I won't complain. Second, the rest of plot becomes predictble because of that. Twilight doesn't care about friends and just wants to complete the task, and along the way meets and get to know them, and Friendship becomes magic and all that stuff. It's still decent. But the second half falls apart and is just vague at times and stupid at others. (What does telling someone to fall to thier death represent honesty? What's with that sea serpent?) It picked up with an amazing climax, but that's really it. Overall, this episode's fine to start the series with, but is not very good to rewatch. Final Verdict: Meh. It was ok.

I remember seeing G3 MLP many years ago with my sister before Friendship is Magic became a thing, and I remember it being total garbage, but (fortunately) I barely remember now. As for having G3 still being on the air for Christmastime, I just have to ask WHY!? Okay, maybe it's because G4's Christmas episode isn't all that special for the show at hand, but come on! You moved on to directly pandering to little girls. I think I saw this one though. Was it the one with the song about socks?

Season 1: Sonic Rainboom Season 2: Hurricane Fluttershy Season 3: Sleepless in Ponyville Season 4: Filli Vanilli/Pinkie Pride (Originally said Twilight's Kingdom but I didn't originally notice the afternote)

There are many things I'm looking forward to seeing in Season 5, as Season 4 managed to not just hold o ot it's quality, but get even better, so I hope ths'll be no different. However, of all the things I hope will come next year, the one I'm the most eager for is the 100th episode. It's possible they won't do anything super special, but with a show as good as this, they kind of have to. SpongeBob had it's 100th episode be "Krusty Krab Training Video," which is my personal favorite episode and has been very well-recieved, and it's not even the kind of show that does that! (I'm sure it was just a coincidence that it was the 100th episode, but who knows). We could see many of our most important questions revealed, or we could have something that we haven't see on TV, or maybe we could get a legit Christmas episode, or have Sunset join the Mane 6 or have an episode that's gender-bent or anything! We'll just have to wait and see.

I was near the end of posting a couple paragraphs on why I love the episode, but unfortunately one of my other tabs recieved an unresponsive script and the browser was too slow to close it at the time, so I'll just say it hits all the right notes an episode should, Fluttershy goes through great development, it has good jokes and music, very well-written, realistic, and relatable story, and a fantastic moral. Also, some people have complained about Pinkie's performance for being out-of-character and mean-spirited, but I didn't mind. It increased tension slightly, it was clearly shown as wrong, and I just found it too ridiculous to take seriously. Also, even if I hated her, it wouldn't affect the score as it's only like, 30 seconds worth of a 22-minuter. Overall, this was fantastic, and one of my favorites of season 4.

Finally heard something from Mr. Enter involving when he'll be covering it. I'm surprised, since he didn't even seem to mention it before despite multiple people asking and many other members of the analysis community already covering it, even if it's not much.
