S05:E09 - Slice of Life

[TePineer 82]

Was Derpy´s name ever mentioned this episode?

[chirox the pony 1,336]

THAT WAS *GASP" ok. It was just alright

[Kivil 1,721]

DOCTOR WHOOVES X DERPY IS BEST SHIP!

[baba_booey 4,302]

Honestly, it was meh for me.

 

I didn't hate it, but I didn't really like it either.

[Shanks 10,816]

What Mayor Mare just said about everypony and not the just the main characters playing a role was a message to us. Shining Armor is such a softie, I wonder if that was one of the things that made Cadence fall for him? 

[Alto 437]

i hoped vinyl would at least have a speaking role

good ep nonetheless

[DryGuy84 (Inactive) 927]

That last act sold me on this episode, and it had a great moral.

[Manman20x6 359]

I was afraid that the episode would be pandering to the fandom, but this is way beyond what I could have imagined.

 

This is the first time I intentionally closed an episode without watching it all the way. This was even harder to watch than the Cloudsdale anthem (Which at least was intentionally cringeworthy).

 

The part with Lyra and Bon Bon was what made me just say "no" and walk away. They're really just trying too hard to use as many memes as they can with no regard for the quality of the writing.

 

Maybe later I'll gather my courage and try to endure this all the way through, but the parts I've seen were enough to confirm that this is, without a doubt, the worst episode yet.

[Shenron00 366]

Derpy and the Doctor ship is canon, Derpy and the Doctor ship is canon, let me say it again, DERPY AND THE DOCTOR SHIP IS CANON!!!!!!!!!!!!!           

When was that confirmed?

[Guest]

The whole fleet has set sail.

[INACTIVE USERNAME 383]

Out of all the fandoms.. I think Hasbro has given fans the greatest gift of all.

[Chaton 3,765]

THERE WAS A CHANGELING

 

AND IT WAS ADORABLE

[SteveMorison 404]

To be completely honest, I didn't really like it. There's such a thing as too much fan service.

[PoisonClaw 8,164]

I...I don't know where to start. I'll need to watch it again before I can fully review it, but I will say that was far better than I expected it to be. Also helps that the voice cast for the new character (Doctor Whooves, Derpy, Lyra, Bon Bon, ect) were wonderfully done. Not to mention that sisterly bickering between Celestia and Luna made me so happy you have no idea. And that single changeling...I shall name him Bob and I can say he's not going hungry for awhile.

 

And the shipping. SO. MUCH. SHIPPING. FUEL!

This episode was crazy I really liked it! I didn't get that why is BonBon is an agent but I laughed hard

[LZRD WZRD 1,929]

Well that was awesome. Not really sure how you can criticize it, but I'll be waiting in anticipation for the nay sayers

[~ Dr. Ocsid ~ 690]

Also, Gummy is Mr. Pink Sheep.

[Pastel 7,630]

i hoped vinyl would at least have a speaking role

I'm afraid she's going to be mute forever. :/

[Sazama Ichida 2,367]

Good episode. Was really glad to see the background characters starting to get voices and development.

[Kivil 1,721]

I liked how the Mane six didn't talk

[Shenron00 366]

Sure, the fan service was a tad bit over done, but whatever, no episode is perfect.

 

9/10 -Shenron00, not IGN.

[InfectedPone 1,550]

I nearly died. Everything was perfection. Derpy! The doctor being the doctor! Bon Bon spy!? Whatever Gummy was?! Twicane! The Big Lebowski! Octavia & Vinyl!! Princess fights! Shipping everywhere!! This was just amazing. I can die in peace.

Worst episode? Haha seriously, what was so bad about it? Even if there's fan pandering, what makes that bad?

[DragonFlyer 329]

I really enjoyed this one! I'm gonna watch it again later because my stream cut out a couple times but overall, great episode!! I love Doctor Whooves even more now. He really does need his own spin-off series, with Derpy as his companion.

[Spartan 433]

Great Episode in my opinion. My reactions to some characters,

 

Celestia: Damn it! I know being a ruler is tough, but forgetting a gift?!

Luna: This is why I always rememeber to do things, because my idiot brothers forget things too.

 

Ditzy (Derpy): It was nice to hear her voice and actually is 'normal', i did like her original one though.

 

The Changling: LMAO he was just hanging out, i would have died laughing had he waved to the ponies xD
