My little Pony: Friendship is magic

[JAGzilla]

A dark secret, huh? Maybe it's that she has Luna tied up and gagged in her basement.

Seriously, Luna had better show up in this episode. Even if she just stands in the background and doesn't say anything, there doesn't seem to be any logical excuse for her not to be at her niece's wedding. And if she isn't there, we'd better get an explanation.

[Kiryu2012]

We REALLY need Luna now. Seriously, Hasbro, it's been, what, MANY episodes since Luna Eclipsed. They should have her fight Discord for a starring role, perhaps.

EDIT: Perhaps Cadence is Discord in disguise? Just food for thought...

Damn, new episode was good. I liked how Big Mac and AJ switched lines.

[JAGzilla]

I don't really have a lot to say about this one; I'll defintely need to rewatch it to be able to properly judge it. My first impression, though, was that the story was pretty bland, and I really didn't care about the CMCs at all. That said, I appreciated that they felt bad about their actions and didn't go on a power trip, and that they ended the incident with an apology.

Pros:

- The Great and Powerful name drop. Sheer awesome.

- Mac and Applejacks' dialogue reversal scene.

- Diamond Tiara as the paper's editor. This was a good role for her.

- Lots of screetime for the other school kids. Though no Twist or Silver Spoon, unfortunately.

- Mac still has Smarty Pants. That's a really great callback.

Con:

- I don't have a lot of specific problems with this one, but it just generally felt kind of lame and poorly slapped-together. Again, I think I'll like it more on a rewatch, though.

For now, it gets a 3.5/5, and added to the Lower-Mid Tier of my season ranking list.

I liked the new episode. Good to know Trixie is still alive out there.

[HayesAJones]

Let's see....

Trixie.

Smarty Pants.

Baby Cakes.

Force field.

Awesome.

Seriously though, nice little peer pressure episode with cute Sweetie Belle-Rarity interaction and a vengeful Rainbow Dash. Pretty cool in my book.

Hey, did anyone see today's "Foxtrot" in the comics page? Seriously, you gotta check this out, thought I was gonna die laughing.

[Kiryu2012]

^That made my day.

[UltramanGoji]

I just noticed that Applejack was missing her hat. But other than that, Bill got the designs right (besides the Cutie Marks)!

It made my April Fools Day.

[Terrier]

Not only did they mention Trixie (Does that mean she lives in Ponyville?), the episode was full of things like Celestia eating cake, Fluttershy using tail extensions, the mayor and her mane, Big Macintosh speaking... Though I must say that most of the ending felt like a downer, with everyone rejecting the fillies, and the resolution being shown at the very last minute... I wonder how may it make the target audience feel.


Also, it seems we now know what the third seasons' episodes will be about, at least this was posted in Equestria Daily this particular day, wich doesn't make it less valid at all: https://docs.google.com/document/m/?id= ... rM&login=1

I thought the episode was ok, nice little message, and liked how irritated Rainbow Dash was. Could have done better with the resolution IMO.

So next season is gonna be the last one, huh? Well that's actually kind of saddening, really.

WHY, HASBRO?! WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?!?!

Relax, that's actually a very praiseworthy move, if I'm correct in interpreting the synopsis for the last episode in season 3. It means they might actually care about the integrity of their show.

And we're gonna get a movie.

[Kiryu2012]

Well, if they make a movie, it better be damn epic. And maybe they'll even feature humans...

FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC THE MOVIE - The Council of Shadows
Release Date Q2 2013
The Great and Powerful Trixie, Discord, Luna, and seventeen manticores team up and build a GIGANTIC volcano lair in the heart of the Tartaurus, after The Great and Powerful Trixie tames Cerberus of course. Discord doesn’t do anything, because we couldn’t get John de Lancie to come back a third time, but he does look pretty formidable hanging out in the background like that. We listed Luna to get the bronies excited, but she totally won’t be making an appearance. Our animators forgot how to draw her. Luckily we have some clip art left over for the movie poster. We also found out manticores breed like rabbits, hence the two we originally started with turning into seventeen. What a pain... ANYWAY, EXPECT IT IN 2013

DAT MOVIE PLOT!! Do I need to say it's and April's Fool Joke?

[Kiryu2012]

Not sure if serious...

[Godzilla 1995]

Not sure if serious...

The movie doesn't sound legit, but the episodes sure do.

[UltramanGoji]

I want to see everything except the last episode (well, maybe in the last season of the show) and the movie.

[HayesAJones]

Guarantee it's all just an April's Fools Day prank. Besides the movie being obviously a joke, some of the episodes sound too... fanish.

You're probably right....*sigh*...some of them sounded darn good too.
