This episode looks cute! Hopefully I'll enjoy this one, and that it includes the mane six in it too. I have a feeling that Angel's gonna be a pain. And we'll be seeing Tank as well! Yaaayyyy! I want to see what the pets do too. Looks interesting, I'll be watching it livestream, hopefully!

[Fubz 300]

I thought this was a thread for CD to get a sidekick was going to redirect all the new ponies from the welcoming plaza here kekekeke

 

Anyways, another Spike episode? He's such a baby in his episodes P: Need more Rarity episodes (C'mon Season 4, a season full of Rarity!) Oh well I love all the pets <3 let's see how this turns out Owllowiscious is best troll pet.

Hopefully I don't find myself facepalming too hard over Spike's stupidity, ah well, it's part of the show! *gets popcorn out* ^-^

Spike has really started to grow on me this season. I think he won me over with this glistening eyes puppy face in episode 9.

How can you say no to this face...

Initially, I wasn't too thrilled about this episode, especially considering we already technically had a Spike episode earlier this season (and yes, I know it was more of a AJ/Spike episode, but still, he had at least 50% of the focus in that episode).  But, after seeing yesterday's preview clip, I'm actually quite excited for this episode, largely because I just realized when I saw it how much potential there is for this to be an extremely hilarious episode!!!  I mean, Spike AND all six of the pets up to no good and causing a ruckus?!?!  OMG, this could easily be this season's "Party of One" or "Lesson Zero"!!!  The key is that the episode must be executed by Studio B properly, because in the past Spike's episodes sometimes aren't executed that smoothly, whether they have awkward lessons or pacing, and, as a result, have not always been fan favorites.  Still, I'm optimistic and hopeful that this episode will be hilarious!!!  See ya'll in an hour everypony!!!

I proably shouldn't be posting this, since I haven't even watched this episode, but from everypony's comment it sounds like Spike is  in another episode? I think this one should be around Twlight, since she is the main charater but almost never gets  an episode.

[Radiance64 7,053]

Spike + pets, cool, I'm ready.

[Batbrony 16,051]

 Well... Spike's kinda dumb, isn't he?  On the other hand, did ya'll catch that picture of PeeWee back in his parent's nest?  Thank Celestia we finally figured out what happened to him!!!  I was starting to think that Spike had eaten him or something. 

[Radiance64 7,053]

Oh Spike, chew some gum or something when you cook bro...

[Evilshy 5,090]

WOO!!

 

First line is a Bill Cosby reference

 

And now Spike knows the tragedy of ruined cake. It is a sting I've felt many a time

I've never seen a Spike episode I really liked. They've been enjoyable, but never really great, IMO. I doubt this one will wow me :/

 

You know Owlicious was telepathically saying "shape the fuck up or I'll eat you, little bunny. Who's the predator here?"

 

Also, I don't remember Tanks propeller being magic powered before. Confirmation now?

[An Old Head 4,816]

Pinkie and Gummy and cupcakes... Oh my god, I don't care about Spike. Pinkie randomness always completes an episode.

(I do care about Spike, he's lovely. This is going to be an awesome episode.)

I sense a lot of people wondering why all the ponies carry gems. I reckon it's some sort of alternate currency. Like, bits are the lower-value coins, and jewels are like paper money we use to represent higher amounts.

[Batbrony 16,051]

Tank kiss is canon, TANK KISS IS CANON!!!!!!!!!!   HNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!  ALL MY FEELS!!!!!!!!     

 

On another note, this episode is already hilarious and adorable!!!!  Bucking Tank noogie, Winona belly rub, Gummy... whatever the heck he does?!?!  It's all so great so far!!!

Pretty funny so far, Spike is such a greedy little thing though.

[NavelColt 22,879]

I hope most of these posts occur during commercials, because if you're posting during the episode you're missing things xD This is why I wait to just post a big post on my thoughts at the end.

[Radiance64 7,053]

Sweetie Belle, you should realize that you're cuter than Angel by now...

[Evilshy 5,090]

I sense a lot of people wondering why all the ponies carry gems. I reckon it's some sort of alternate currency. Like, bits are the lower-value coins, and jewels are like paper money we use to represent higher amounts.

A good idea, but there are probably some inconsistencies with prices.

 

Anybody love how a bunch of little kids are allowed to go skydiv- oh, nevermind. Problem was adressed.

 

Also Spike is a true businessman. Get somebody else to do the work and try to keep the money XD

[An Old Head 4,816]

When I saw the CMC's clubhouse come into the shot, I thought "This can't end well". Then when they were all like "We need treats for when they're good, and toys" I thought they'd do a pretty good job. I hope to see more of them in this episode... or at least have them be a bearing in some way. n.n

 

Also - Angel laugh for the win!

Also also - Squeaky Belle is so lovable. I need a .gif of it.

[Twiliscael 3,960]

Why is Sweetie Belles so damn adorable? I just want to hug her every time I see her

 

Also, this marks the return of Satan bunny. I don't like Satan bunny

[Malakili 165]

This episode is way better than I expected : Cutie Mark Crusaders, Zecora and now the Crystal Empire might appear at the end of the episode? Bucking awesome 

[Batbrony 16,051]

Sweetie Belle, you should realize that you're cuter than Angel by now...

 

Sweet Celestia, Squeaky Belle just about sent me to the hospital just now!!!  Just when I think she can't possibly get any cuter, she does!!!!!     

[An Old Head 4,816]

Spike is going to eat the Crystal Empire.

[Radiance64 7,053]

The Crystal Empire has returned.

[An Old Head 4,816]

Not only the Crystal Empire, but Derpy! Good to see her reappear.

[Bucky McGillyCuddy 956]

So much awesome in this episode so far.

 

 

Rainbow dash has a heart

No Chaperone no Train

Pinkie Pie always loves something more than it loves Pinkie Pie

Angel gets all the fillies 

Sweetie Belle gets cuter everytime you see her.

[Twiliscael 3,960]

"I'm in crystal heaven!"
I just died.
 
"There has to be a better solution!"
Double-dead.
 
Sweetie Belle is probably the cutest thing I've ever seen 
 
Also, it's nice to know that Angel isn't a complete sadistic troll

Spike is going to eat the Crystal Empire.

I lol'd
 
 

The Crystal Empire has returned.

Also, SBB, I believe that the next 2 episodes involve the Crystal Empire, which I would like to see how they go about doing it.
