Daring Don't is the best S4 episode until now.

And a look back at the early days of FiM in 2010.

Can I be honest? I thought the whole "brony craziness" was born around 2011. I never thought it existed even before that. :| I find it mind-blowing @ that thread. It's like looking at a history of how the fandom began to evolve since the first season.

Thy name for S4 is here.

Pinkie Apple Pie was of course, something I predicted, let me just say I knew a name like that was coming. xD

Let's see how Natasha does as a new writer, shall we?

 

[Pinkie-Dawn]

Shoot, I'm going to miss the new MLP episode on Saturday, because I'll be at Disneyland by then. I'll need to record it, as well as other shows from Toonami at CN, while I'm out.

 

[Meganium]

DVR's are extremely wonderful.

Also, mind if I bring in a topic for discussion? What does everyone think of Alicorn Twilight now? Has your opinions towards her have changed since the new season began?

 

[Astinus]

I really didn't have much of an opinion on her after she became an alicorn, because the episode ended so quickly after she got her wings. Mostly, I wondered how they would handle her in season four, especially in regards to her still being in Ponyville and how she'd act around her friends. I'm glad to see that it's really just Twilight with wings right now rather than Princess Twilight unable to go on adventures. I'm pleased so far with what they've done with her, and look forward to seeing how that continues.

 

[Meganium]

It kinda brought me down a bit when people started saying that "OH TWILIGHT IS GONNA RUIN SEASON 4 UGH F THIS AND THAT", but these bronies never gave themselves a chance to actually experience the real thing and never gave the writers a chance to bring what they were intending to bring. Right now, I see Twilight with her usual flaws from when she was just a unicorn. I'm glad she's not being her royal self oftentimes, as others had predicted. If only the bronies who stopped watching the show would give themselves another chance in watching the Season 4 premiere, they would change their opinions. xD

Flight to the Finish:

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon are so mean, though... really mean, and it isn't fair to them. This goes to show you how bullying can really change someone's mind, you know? Anyway--to be honest, Ed Valentine did a good job on the episode. I've seen what he did in The Fairly Odd Parents, I to be honest, believe he belongs in My Little Pony! Anyway... I was upset on how Scootaloo didn't earn her Cutie Mark... really. She should have gotten one out of this experience! And let's not forget to mention... that Harshwitty was acting pretty silly at the end! So funny! I hope Ed Valentine writes more stuff like this! ALSO OMG THAT SONG IS GOING ON MY PROFILE, IT'S GOING ON MY PROFILE. "Hearts strong as horses!"

9/10!

Spoiler:

I thought this episode was bit heartwarming, however, having Rainbow Dash control her emotional excitement was pretty hard. xD I'm someone who won't control her emotions in a professional manner, so I can also relate to her in a way. In the meantime, I'm soooo glad they're bringing the Equestria Games into play. Will we see a season finale special based on the games? Or an episode based on that? I really hope that happens this season, it's gonna be da booooomb.

I really like Heart's Strong as Horses. It's a pretty catchy song and all three CMCs sang it really well. <3

also POWER PONIES next week. Can y'all say EXCITED? :D

 

[Palamon]

Am I excited for Power Ponies? Let's see...

....That should answer the question, I think! xD I'm, like, extremely excited. Just so you know, three people wrote it! That's going to be awesome, ahhh. =D To begin, I want to see how it'll play out:

Spoiler:

My sister and I think the girls might find a key.

 

[Meganium]

That's TWICE the excitement. I literally can't wait for this episode. Now I'll want to wake up at 7 am just to watch this episode! ^__^

This is the only promo I found that has scenes for the new episode. I'll spoiler it just in case anyone would rather wait till next week.

Spoiler:

 

[Pinkie-Dawn]

Now that I've watched the episode I've missed yesterday:

Spoiler:

Both Diamond Tiara and Twisted Spoon need to die in a fire for treating Scootaloo like that. Everyone in the brony community knows that Scootaloo is a chicken, as mentioned in the Stare Master episode thus explaining why she can't fly, and how it shouldn't matter for her whether or not she should fly if she and the other CMCs want to win for the Pony Games. That being said, this is the first time I hear the term "horse" used in the show, which makes me wonder: What does a horse look like in the world of MLP if all the mare civilians in Equestia are labeled as ponies?

 

[Astinus]

A bigger, wilder pony? I figure that since even full-grown MLP ponies are on the small side, that a "horse" is a much larger, stronger version. "Wilder" comes from the fact that every town we've seen in Equestria is full of ponies and none of them are called horses, so maybe horses live in the wild or are creatures of legend.

A quick non-spoiler thought I have about the episode is that I really wish there was more Scootaloo merchandise. I'm hoping the survey Build-A-Bear put out about pony merchandise leads to the Cutie Mark Crusaders being released as small fries. A little Scootaloo would go great with my growing collection of Rainbow Dash plush.

I would say more about the episode itself, but I was really tired when I watched it the first time around, and haven't had a chance to rewatch it.

Spoiler:

Though I did enjoy the conversation between Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara about how to insult the CMC. "We've already called them blank flanks!"

 

[destinedjagold]

Spoiler:

I was very very very reluctant to watch this episode because of [bullying]. I dunno why, but I really hate to see the CMC being bullied. Seriously, I dunno why. o.o
But I pressed on, and was really really glad to see how easily the CMC just [ignored] DT's and SP's bullyings at them. It's like the CMC already have gotten used to them and has already learned to simply ignore them.
But then DT got the idea of Scoots being unable to fly. I was, once again, surprised to see that Scoots wasn't put down by it, but instead decided to show the bullies that she can fly, though she failed at that, but still.

All in all, lovely episode. The song was really nice, and Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom shouldn't have ditched Scootaloo in the first place. >:[

And, I also LOVED RD's annoyed reaction as she left at the end of the episode, after the CMC announced their cutie mark chances. xD
It reminded me of Twilight's reaction when the CMC said they'd get a higher chance of having cutie marks at comedy. xD

 

[Houndour2005]

Flight to the FInish is now my favorite FiM episode.

 

[Meganium]

I think Asty has a good point about the song. "Horses" would probably mean strong and legendary. The CMC are probably striving to be remembered and become part of history, and last epsiode would prove an example.

& hnnggg. The Fluttershy one came out a couple weeks ago at Build-A-Bear Workshop and aaaaaah I SO WANT IT. She's the prettiest of all four available ponies and I'm really tempted to buy one. I'm still waiting for them to come out with a Rarity one tbh...that's the one I reeeeeeally want.

Spoiler:

If they come out with the CMCs soon, I am sooo buying all three ^_^ I can't decide who's my favorite CMC right now, all three are just amazing the way they are.

 

[Palamon]

Well, I saw that promo~. It looks really cool, and tbh, I've always been excited for this Power Ponies since I heard about it! Tbh, I'm hoping that the Mane-iac is voiced by Kathleen Barr, idk why, it seems like an interesting voice for her.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh I need it now. T_T

 

[Houndour2005]

The Equestria Games for the Season Finale?

 

[Palamon]

Maybe, but I highly doubt it, ha ha ha... maybe we'll get a two part finale again? Unless we don't. If we do, I'm wondering: what will the finale be? We already know that it might have to do with that box the girls got... it could be, but the Equestria Games seems plausible, too.
