S02: EP17 - Tiny Trot

New episode of TYT is ready to be watched and enjoyed 

 

[Casey Pones 82]

Another age-regression one? The little ponies are seriously cute and the baby-theme park has some imaginative ideas but the ability to restore youth would have a huge effect on a society. And it's getting hard to ignore that as they keep using it for episodes.

Alright episode. I feel the new Mane 6 have been turned into toddlers enough, but there was nothing in this episode I minded. Cute to see Hitch be the main character of an episode like this for a change in addition to seeing the "babyfied" new Mane 6 actually on a quest for a change. Would like to eventually get an episode taking place outside of the Boardtrot though. 

Episodes Since Comet's Last Appearance: 18

At least I've come up with an in-show explanation for Comet's absence now. He's busy working and doesn't have time to visit an amusement park.

I was not a fan of this episode one bit, this feels like the first major flop from season 2. I mean come on, another baby episode? The baby ponies are cute but they’re not worthy of 3 episodes. Especially with this being the only show we have. Especially especially with said show only releasing every other week. Nothingburger episodes like this suck even more because of that.

I understand and respect your opinion but…

I can understand things from someone else's point of view, especially with this being my least favorite episode of the season aside from the fruit crown episode. However, I don't see any legitimate flaws with this one besides the repeated plot. Really don't think it's fair how some are tearing this one to shreds when it's the slow release schedule we should be taking out our frustrations on. Even the best shows have episodes that are noticeably not as great as others.

Does Sunny really needs to transform into an alicorn for every problem she faces? Only in this episode, she transformed twice, and only one (the last one) seemed that she really needed it, in the beginning she could simply crawl to the place and have the others follow her.

It feels strange to look at all the negativity this episode is getting swamped with...and then see that FaolanCortez and his fans don't have a problem with it. 

It's almost like it's possible to be fine...with something that's fine. It really irritates me how there's no more, "I liked this because X and I didn't like this because Y". We can't even get a break from how everything has to be about framing a narrative now with something like this. If TYT gives us a banger, everything's sunshine and rainbows, and if TYT gives us a not-so good episode, everything's doom and gloom. There's no in-between, everything always has to come back to the entire show, Hasbro, or G5 as a whole. Why can't we just give our opinions on an episode without making a mountain out of a molehill, seriously?

I don't blame the show or anything for the episode. I don't even think it would really be an issue if the releases weren't so spread apart or if we still had another show to kinda pick up the slack when TYT falls short. It's just that having to wait 2 weeks just to get a kinda ehhh or below average episode feels disappointing.

They repeat things too much. They do the cutie mark glowing stuff and the chants every episode and they could really do away with that. 

 

I 100% agree with this point!

I don't even know WHY they repeat it over and over unless Hasbro put those sayings in/on merchandise

since it takes away precious seconds they could be using to make the episodes even better! 

That said, the chant was *just* different enough this time to be ok with me this time since Sunny was a baby pony.

Hawk Nightwind's review already says a lot about this episode, and why so many people are mad with it. We've wait two weeks for an episode with no point than just forcefully showing mane six babies, again. Unless it's a propaganda for the mini world or an upcoming toy series.

I don't even buy the "Hitch understanding Sparky better" anymore, when basically the last episode had the same idea?

And somehow, this new feature of the Boardtrot was known to pony society except for the ponies who unleashed the magic that created the Boardtrot.
