Your telling me, man.

Well, everypony, it has finally come and gone. 2 Days ago, on the 4th of April, the Season 5 premiere of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic aired. I had woken up that day excited. I mean, this was the longest Haitus for MLP EVER. But it was finally here. I went on Equestria.TV, a watched the whole Season Premiere. Now..... After watching it all the way through, I sat back in my chair, pondering everything I had just watched. And I have to say this...... how can anypony NOT LOVE THIS SEASON OPENER!?!? I absolutley loved it, and I firmly believe this is, by far the best Season opener to date (Yes, even more than The Crystal Empire, which is what brought me into the fandom in the first place). Before I give my review, I have to say again. SPOILERS WILL ENSUE IN THIS POST! TURN BACK NOW IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED THE PREMIER YET!!! Ok, now that I have the spoiler alerts out of the way, where to begin? Well, I guess I will talk about the story. And WHAT A STORY it is! The episode mainly centers around the Mane 6 going on a road trip to Northern Equestria, and discovering a stange village. The village seemed peaceful enough, considering everyone their was so friendly, and were always smiling. And those smiles still haunt my nightmares. But what seems to conscern the Mane 6 the most would a lack of cutie marks on any of the villagers. As it would appear, they live in a communistic like society where everyone is equal, and no pony has an advantage over the other. There is no arguing in their little community, and no townspony has anything special about them. As it would later turn out, their founder, Starlight Glimmer, has been keeping everyones Cutie Marks in a vault just outside of town. It turns out to be a trap, however, and the Mane 6 get captured, and their cutie marks are removed. Now, I wont go as far as to spoil the ending, but I just have to say that the Climax is Spectacular. Now, the Season Openers always seem to do the animations..... better than in the rest of the season. For example, the Season 4 Premier had EXCELLENT shading, especially in its opening scenes. In this season Opener, however.... I didnt see anything revolutionary, to say the least. I mean, the opening scene definitley showed some improvement, but the rest just seemed like an ordinary episode. That would be the episodes only real flaw, though. Now the big question: Were all of the Characters, well, in character. For example, one of the things I didnt like about the Season 4 Finale was Applejack. She did not seem like she was in character. In the Season 4 Premiere, while everypony was looking in books to come up with a solution to the problem at hand, Pinkie was...... coloring in a coloring book. Ok, she is not stupid! But enough of those episodes, I am reviewing this one! And I must say that each of the characters were PERFECT! Twilight was her usual self, Comforting yet taking the leadership role. Rainbow (My third favorite pony!) was her usual self, and had some pretty funny moments. Rarity, the fashionista she was, simply looked like she wanted to throw up at the sight of everyones attire. And she had a few funny moments in the backround. Applajack was herself, THANK CELESTIA! But I have to say, the two characters that really shined in this episode were Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie was at her best Humor wise. I mean, she was HILARIOUS. I wont spoil any of her jokes, you just have to watch the episode. Fluttershy, on the other hand, has just shown improvement as a character. Is she still her timid, shy self? Yes, but she isnt flanderized over it! She is shown interacting with the townsponies, and was not afraid to take up a solo mission, despite her fears. So, Hurricane Fluttershy really DID pay off, then. As I have already stated, the Humor was spot on. The dialogue itself seemed to flow naturally, which is really good. The VIllain, however, had to be the best part. She was a good villain because at first, you couldnt tell if she was a villain or not. She used flattery and deception to confuse the Mane 6. And it was pretty clear throughout the episode that she firmly believed what she said. Plus, she breaks the trope for what defines a normal MLP villain. I honestly loved her in this episode! Overall, I give this episode a 6/6 rating. I mean, common! This episode is a clear Must see to everyone. Sure, it did have its Communist Undertone, but it is minor, and I dont believe that that is what the show was going for. Well, everypony, that is all I have for today! Thank you all for tuning in, and I hope to cat you guys tomorrow, as I move onto part 2 of my "Defending Kinh Sombra" Blog! Post in the comments, and I will catch you guys later! Juggerpony Out!

1 MORE HOUR!

Exactly.

2 more hours!

Hello, Everypony! And welcome to a special post of the Juggerpony Blog today! It is going to be a short entry, so bear with me on a few things. I will not be posting tomorrow, because it is Easter Sunday. Next, I will be posting my thoughts on the Season 5 Premier this coming Monday. On Tuesday, I will be posting the Part 2 to my "Defending King Sombra" blog. Update wise, I think that is it. Enjoy the blog, everypony! Oh. My. Gosh, everypony. It has been a year since we have seen Twilights Kingdom. A year since we watched the amazing end to an amazing season (With exception to Rainbow Falls, but I digress). And now, ladies and gentlecolts, in less than 3 hours, the Season 5 Premier of MLP will air! I must say that I am EXTREMELY excited to be able to watch this. And from what the trailers have provided us with, my excitement has grown to levels over 9000 (Obvious meme is too freakin obvious). The trailers have offered us a sneak peek as to what the season, and mostly the Premier, will be about. We are getting a new villain, hopefully overarching throughout the whole of the season, a utopian society that is not what it seems, Pinkie Pie getting a colt friend, and the retrurn of the smooze. Wait, what was that last one *Looks through script* Return of the smooz? The heck is a smooz? Oh, now I remember! That blob from Season 1. Wow, the creators are really liking the season 1 villains. First Tirek, and now the Smooz? Of course, the show is going to introduce the smooz as a character, not as a villain. So of course, we will see how this turns out. Over all, I am super excited for what this season has to offer. I am also looking forward to seeing the CMC get there Cutie Marks. The problem with that is that when they get their Cutie Marks, they wont be the CMC anymore. So, looking forward to seeing where the creators will go with that. Well guys, I am off. I need to do some things before watching the Premier. I know, this Blog was really not rezealing anything. But would guys have it any other way? I am the Juggerpony, here to tell you to enjoy the rest of your day! Juggerpony Out! Previous Blogs: Does the Shipping Community Destroy Lives? Controversy Talks: Bridle Gossip Defending King Sombra

Notice I never said that Shippers actually destroy lives. I only pointed some problems out, then left you guys to interpret it.
