theConundrumm 8 October 19, 2012 Share October 19, 2012 this episode was good, but for me there is one small moment that ranks soooo high in my favorite pony moments and makes me giggle like crazy when i think about it... Spike is "conversing" with Owlicious and getting nowhere, and his eye does this little twitch thing... it's a small thing i know, but so funny... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkiefan1287 610 October 21, 2012 Share October 21, 2012 This was not my favorite episode of season 1. This episode just felt like it was building up to Owlicious being evil and stuff. Also Twilight says that he well be helpful at night, but he seems to be up all the time and never getting any sleep. For some odd reason I thought he was going to talk. I don't know I thought that.

PlunderSteed 1,252 October 26, 2012 Share October 26, 2012 For some reason, this episode struck me as having a very sleepy feel to it. Not in a bad way...maybe it was because almost the entire episode took place at night. Or maybe I first saw it near the end of an all-nighter or something. Did anybody else get that vibe? 2 Regards, PlunderSteed Bassist, pianist, and backing vocalist for MLP-themed metal band Draconequus.

thegoodhen 698 November 1, 2012 Share November 1, 2012 I really laughed when Spikey wanted that feather and went to a shop that sells feathers and sofas... That was just downright hilarious! xD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrystalRose 636 November 18, 2012 Share November 18, 2012 Ooooh I loved this one. There are a few good sight gags (like Spike's twitch mentioned by Conundrumm) and so much of this is done in Twilight's house so it has a lovely cosy feeling. ~DeviantArt~ ~ Taking commissions ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DashieDude 12 November 20, 2012 Share November 20, 2012 I thought this episode was great mostly because how what Spike went through just to make Twilight happy. And how he reminds me of myself sometimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whimsical 24 November 24, 2012 Share November 24, 2012 I loved this episode simply because we saw more of Spikey Wikey And I liked the way Spike learned to get over his jealousy of Owlicious (loved that Owl btw).It was a good lesson learned overall.

Varcolac 56 March 4, 2013 Share March 4, 2013 (edited) on the law thing, I think ponies can really have whatever pet they choose and not because they are just brightly colored talking ponies but because of how the characters described how the Everfree forest works in Bridle Gossip, seasons change and the animals take care of themselves. So it would seem that this is more akin to taking care of the animals like Fluttershy does then actually needing a permit.

Buttonmash1973 1,026 March 9, 2013 Share March 9, 2013 This episode is one of the better Season one episodes, but not one of my most watched of all Season one episodes. That pony with sofa and quills must come back in Sesason 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Rarity 1,240 April 21, 2013 Share April 21, 2013 This was awesome! I think my favorite part was when Spike tried to buy a quill at the quill and sofa shop, but they were fresh out of quills!

Starlight Song 43 April 21, 2013 Share April 21, 2013 We had some creepy stuff in this one. Fake blood, owl head turns. Why was Spike so nervous about being late to wake up? Does Twlight beat him? 1 Profile pic and signature by: darryshan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was kinda creepy. I think Spike just had a sense that something was terribly wrong. Maybe he just loves the attention he had earlier.

Jack Spades 162 August 18, 2013 Share August 18, 2013 For some reason I didn't enjoy this episode as much as I wanted to. Mainly because I was with Spike all the way. I was sorta afraid that he would be replaced or something like that. He could of handled the situation better, probably by talking about his fear with Twilight or... I don't know. Anyways it was an okay episode overall, it's just not my favorite. 2 Half insane! Half jokester! All brony! My main OC: Jack Spades ♠♥♣♦ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batbrony 16,054 October 3, 2013 Share October 3, 2013 (edited) Ya know how in my last review I said that I consider three of the last four episodes of Season 1 to be among the show's finest? Well... this is the episode that's not. If I'm being completely honest, it's one of my least favorite episodes in the whole show; not that I hate it or anything, but, it simply just doesn't really do anything for me. But, let's start with the positives first. The best thing that I can say about this episode is that it's a great Spike episode, at least, in the sense that Spike's incredibly entertaining once again in the limelight. While I certainly think that "A Dog and Pony Show" portrayed the guy in a far more flattering light, Spike's characterization and mannerisms still seem on in this episode. I mean, he's a baby dragon, so a lot of his not-so-well-thought-out actions in this episode can simply be attributed to his age. Also, it's nice seeing just how much he does for Twilight being the focus of an episode. Finally, the little dude's just plain funny, no denying that, and he has some really funny scenes in this episode, especially the scene where he tries to frame Owlowiscious for a "mouse's" death. The best scene in this whole episode for me is probably the opening five minutes when Twilight, Spike, and the rest of the Mane 6 and CMC gather to watch the meteor shower. It's a nice little scene that highlights just how far all these friends had come in the first season of MLP in their friendships without saying too much about it, and I wish we had scenes of Mane 6 get-together's like that more often in the show. This scene... I LOVE this scene!!! Well, that's the positives, but now it's time for the negatives. So what's the biggest problem I have with this episode? Namely two: (1) Owlowiscious, and (2) Twilight. First, let's cover Owlowiscious; I do not hate this character, no no, that's not right. If I hated him, I think I'd actually care about him more than I do, because at least he'd be evoking some sort of strong passion out of me, like Angel Bunny does on occasion. All of the other pets in fact have something going for them: Winona's fun and lovable, Tank's just plain awesome, Opalescence has her rocking attitude, Angel Bunny's a hateful bastard as much as he is Fluttershy's faithful companion, and Gummy's just... well, Gummy, but Owlowiscious? There is literally nothing that makes me particularly care for this bird in any sense of the word! He has ONE joke (which they hammer over the head any time he's a main or supporting character, quite lazy writing if you ask me), and just doesn't really do anything particularly noteworthy. Like I said, that's not to say I hate him, but... buck me, I can't say I care for him! He's just kinda there, and I could care less, and to this day there is probably no character in the show that I care less about than Owlowiscious. He's unnecessary in a bad way. Now, as for Twilight, I would've said she was my #1 problem with this episode, if not for one thing: she actually recognizes what she does wrong in the episode. So what does she do? She simply assumes that Spike, a baby dragon who doesn't know any better and looks up to Twilight as a mother/sister figure, is not going to have any problems at all with Owlowiscious. That's incredibly insensitive! The worst part is when Rarity of all things gives that bucking bird the same exact gemstone bedazzled bowtie after knowing him for less than a day which it took Spike 24 episodes to get!!! HOW COULD TWILIGHT NOT THINK THAT SPIKE WOULDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS?!?! In addition, there are plenty of scenes that seem to justify Spike's worry that Owlowiscious is trying to replace him, particularly when Owlowiscious finishes tasks that Twilight had specifically assigned to Spike! The only saving grace for Twilight is that she realizes her mistake by the end of the episode and admits as much to Spike, in a rather heartwarming scene; the only problem is, again, she should've fully explained why Owlowiscious was around from the very beginning instead of assuming Spike would just be hunky-dory with having Owlowiscious around. So yeah, in conclusion, I don't particularly care for this episode. I don't hate most things about it except really for the way that the moral lesson is reached, but I don't care for it either. It ranks down there with episodes like "MMMystery on the Friendship Express" which I don't really care for, although again, at least that episode has a harmless enough of a lesson. The only good thing I can even say about Owlowiscious is that he at least makes it absolutely clear that Spike is not nor ever will be Twilight's pet, but beyond that... I got nothing good to say about that bird! I don't care for the lesson, I don't care about the new character, and I certainly don't care about the episode as a whole. One of these things is completely unnecessary to the show. Can you figure out what it is? Edited October 3, 2013 by Batbrony 3 "You'll hunt me. You'll condemn me, set the dogs on me.

Raay Marie Stone 17 October 29, 2013 Share October 29, 2013 I'm currently watching this episode and I must say I like it. Spike is going absolutely nuts trying to prove he can't be replaced when he should already know that. "Pain tends to heal as time passes, but personally, I don't want time to heal my wounds.
