NavelColt 22,878 December 14, 2013 Share December 14, 2013 https://mlpforums.com/calendar/event/256-%7B%3F%7D/?module=events Title: Flight to the Finish Air Date: December 14th, 2013 Synopsis: While trying to win the prestigious duty of carrying the Ponyville flag at the upcoming Equestria Games, the Cutie Mark Crusaders find themselves at odds with Scootaloo, who thinks that flying is the most impressive way to show their Ponyville pride. The Equestria Games have returned :3 To likely get a far bigger role in the story than last time. Alternative summary: Spoiler Credit goes to MLP-Scribbles on Deviantart.com. "Rainbow Dash is over the moon to be coaching the young ponies in Scootaloo’s class for their competition to carry the flag at the upcoming Equestria Games. Just as the Cutie Mark Crusaders find their rhythm, Diamond Tiara‘s taunting becomes too much to handle and Scootaloo begins to doubt herself and her team." Methinks it's about time for the best fandom-concept-turned-canon-concept to have some official continuation, everypony 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky McGillyCuddy 956 December 14, 2013 Share December 14, 2013 (edited) Less than 2 hours remaining! I hope this episode sort of wraps up Scootaloo's flying problem. As much as I'd like to see her be able to fly I think I'd be happier with a bitter-sweet conclusion like permanently being grounded but accepting that that's who she is and sort of owning it. For me personally I think that would give Scootaloo that extra bit of character depth she deserves. I would bet against myself though and say that she eventually does though haha. Was anyone else's stream really choppy at the start? I Was bucking around for the first 15 minutes or so trying to find a decent stream until I decided to reset my net. So I missed out of the first song... Which means I'm staying up until it's on Youtube. What I actually thought about the episode? Even after seeing the episode I'm still glad she didn't fly, otherwise there wouldn't have been a lesson learned. Heck, If Scoots started flying at the end I'd even go as far to say that it was done simply as fan-service. As for the other parts of the episode I enjoyed the Hearts like Horses song, particularly the animation that went with it. The sunset scene with the CMC running along the road, I think, is one of the best looking scenes the show's had to offer. The whole Scoots breaking down the CMC was great too, every group has it's fallouts and I'm glad the writer addressed this in fact I really hope that Ed Valentine gets to write for more episodes, going by Flight to the Finish it seems as though he doesn't give in to writing the easy way out which is very respectable. Also, who else thought Scoots was going to get a cutie mark when the camera zoomed in on her flank? God knows I did (but I'm glad she didn't). One of my favourite scenes in the whole series.

Music Chart Fan 819 December 14, 2013 Share December 14, 2013 Many months ago, not long after Sleepless in Ponyville aired, I wrote some of my thoughts about Scootalove in ~Chaotic Discord~'s topic here. I wrote that while the concept is cute and has potential, I still have some reservations, mostly because Rainbow Dash's and Scootaloo's relationship is underdeveloped in the show and I still have questions about how their relationship would work. Hopefully this episode will do something to answer some of those questions, so that I (and maybe others) can more fully join in the Scootalove train.

Batbrony 16,043 December 14, 2013 Share December 14, 2013 Aside from knowing that this is clearly going to be a Scootaloo episode, I honestly don't know what else to expect from this one, so kudos to DHX for playing things pretty close to the chest on this one. Will we see the return of Scootalove? Maybe, there's a definite possibility, but there's just as good a chance that this'll largely be an episode devoted to the CMC alone (though I hope not, seeing as Scootalove was my #1 favorite canon development in Season 3). Will Scootaloo finally learn to fly? At this point, I'd say there's a 50/50 chance it goes either way. All we really know right now is that Scootaloo's flying problem is going to be addressed in this episode, so guess we'll have to just wait and see where things go from there, but again, major props to DHX for not revealing too much about this one; I'm sure they knew that this was one we were especially going to be looking out for, and I feel like the secrecy surrounding the exact events of the episode itself up until today bode well for the episode's quality. 4 "You'll hunt me.

Winona the Dog 1,984 December 14, 2013 Share December 14, 2013 I'm sure everyone here is anticipating Scootaloo to actually fly in this episode. I'm the only who hopes she doesn't. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megas 27,550 December 14, 2013 Share December 14, 2013 It would be interesting if Luna makes another appearance in this episode to feel more like a potential follow-up to Sleepless in Ponyville 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluttershyfan94 5,742 December 14, 2013 Share December 14, 2013 Excited for this one, I'm not sure if Scootaloo will actually fly though maybe she will discover her talent. Though if she would fly then that would be awesome. 3 DA: http://fluttershyfan94.deviantart.com/ Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/Fluttershyfan94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radiance64 7,053 December 14, 2013 Share December 14, 2013 And here we have another Scootaloo episode! I'll be honest, Sleepless in Ponyville did not do much for me- we didn't get much development for her there beyond her being an actual chicken and Rainbow Dash hugs, nothing I wanted to see anyway. However, it seems this episode will tackle her flying issue which I am very excited to see. Just that promise is enough, but I can only hope that we'll learn at least a little more about her here, like maybe see her parents or her home, ie things that I do want to see, but I guess the flying thing would be enough if it's handled well... yeah so in short, I'll be watching this one very eagerly... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
