Why do you think these friendships are so rare? I thought it was commonplace for girls because there's more emphasis on sharing and identifying feelings in others and themselves. I understand what you're saying though. I wish I could articulate my own feelings properly because I see the value in having a proper interpersonal relationship with somebody, and watching MLP has helped me re-evaluate the relationships of those around me compared to the ones that I have for the characters.

From what I can tell personally, I haven't come across anybody who I know has a personality similar to that of the mane six, but I hope I find somebody who is similar to either Twilight Sparkle or Pinkie Pie. My own personality is very similar to that of Twilight Sparkle with the only exception that Twilight obsesses over organisation. I remember one of my friends telling me that he was great friends with a girl he met at high school who had a personality similar to that of Pinkie Pie, but that's about as much as I know so far. It would be amazing if I found somebody who had a personality that was at least similar to the mane six.

I'm diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome and even still I'm on the milder end of the spectrum of AS. I think it has more to do with the fact that I've learned to socialise with others quite well and I was able to make a whole heap of friends for many years, but I still have some things I need to look into. Struggling to find emotional attachment in people (but not the characters of MLP) is an issue I'm having at the moment.

That's what I'm interested to know too. I liked that episode because it had an excellent moral and it was delivered well, and even though the CMC were doing something stupid, despite their good intentions, they took responsibility for it and made amends. Maybe I missed something else?

Twilight Sparkle: Best episode: A Canterlot Wedding, Friendship is Magic and Winter Wrap Up - (Twilight's characterisation in the first two episodes of MLP ultimately got me hooked into the show, I empathised with her immensely in A Canterlot Wedding, and Twilight's desire to belong in Winter Wrap Up resonated with me strongly) Worst episode: Look Before You Sleep - (I felt her characterisation here was too literal) Pinkie Pie: Best episode: Pinkie Apple Pie and A Friend In Need - (there are so many good ones here, but the ones that affected me the most were Pinkie's Smile Song and her being ecstatic when accepted into the Apple family) Worst episode: Any episode that shows Pinkie for the sole intention of pointless comic relief - (i.e. Three's A Crowd) Applejack: Best episode: Apple Family Reunion Worst episode: Leap of Faith - (her characterisation wasn't bad in this but it wasn't groundbreaking either, like the rest of the episode) Fluttershy: Best episode: Hurricane Fluttershy Worst episode: Putting Your Hoof Down Rarity: Best episode: Sisterhooves Social and Dog & Pony Show Worst episode: Dragon's Quest - (for patronizing Spike) Rainbow Dash: Best episode: Sleepless in Ponyville and Sonic Rainboom - (I loved her role as a mentor to Scootaloo in SiP, and her role in Sonic Rainboom was done brilliantly) Worst episode: Rainbow Falls Spike: Best episode: Equestria Games Worst episode: Spike At Your Service Applebloom: Best episode: Call of the Cutie Worst episode: Hearts and Hooves Day Sweetie Belle: Best episode: For Whom the Sweetie Belle Toils and Sisterhooves Social Worst episode: Hearts and Hooves Day Scootaloo: Best episode: Sleepless in Ponyville and Flight to the Finish Worst episode: Hearts and Hooves Day (you can tell I didn't like this episode very much)

Basically you can have a fundamentally flawed kids episode by making all the characters one-dimensional simpletons with no story and development, and all the characters have to do is just run around and look innocent (and stupid).

How would I react in such a situation? If I got over the initial feeling of confusion, asking her a whole bunch of existential questions and that Twilight is in fact real, I'd be so overwhelmed with joy I'd be speechless yet horrified at the same time because I can't speak.

Rarity would probably feel more comfortable hanging out with Richard Branson.

I brohoofed some random guy down the street who was wearing an MLP shirt. Even thinking about it makes me feel awkward.

The only thing they seek to achieve for me is comedy. Some of them have been so antagonistic to the point where I've burst out laughing at times.

I only like cliffhangers when they're unpredictable and it's pulled off in a way that doesn't make it feel contrived.
