My plan to freeze myself by sitting in front air conditioner is finally working. The time until more ponies has shortened. Time to crank this thing up to maximum power!

I dropped my My Little Pony season 1 dvd on the ground and accidentally rolled over it in my chair and broke it! My life is the worst life ever!

Do you think there's too much slice of life in MLP? Sure, the show is mostly slice of life, but I'd like more adventure episodes.

What do you think?

I would love more adventures, even more "power usage" episodes. Make those powers they have less maguffiny for big badguys.

This is something only I am going to care about, but posting it here anyways...

Zap2it is labeling 6B episodes at 614 and above (correctly) so far. If you remember, the real 609 has been delayed until 6B, so Saddle Row Review is really 610, AJ's Day Off 611, up until 613. Should I label episode threads appropriately and then call the delayed episode 613? Should I edit episode threads retroactively and then label the delayed ep correctly as 609? On Zap2it the missing number currently is 612, which is even more confusing.

Basically there are a few ways I could resolve this numbering discrepancy... always something!

The old episode rewatch is going to hopefully continue tonight! I say "hopefully" because I'm at Bronycon now and hopefully I won't be partying too hard to forget! Anyway, it's at 7:30 Eastern, as usual.

The rewatch of ACW reminded me of how truly amazing that episode was. Chrysalis is now best villain again!

I think ACW wasn't so much a good episode, as Chrysalis was such a good villain. She's the only memorable part of the episode.

For you I guess but I didn't even like Chrysalis, and she was my least favorite part.

Except when she beat Celestia, that was cool.

Eh the Changelings were interesting in that they're old school medieval lore of swapping important people for political reasons was incorporated.

Chrysalis I guess works as an over the top Maleficent villain.

But yeah her design is cool.

I guess.

I always considered Chrissy my favorite villain. ACW 1/2 is what really got me into Pony, and Chrysalis' part in those episodes were a big part of it, from "This Day" to her creepy reveal and then KOing Celestia. She's serious business, I think, and if she is in fact part of the S6 finale, I'm looking forward to that. :evil:

According to a press release today, the reason pony is starting back up on July 30 is that it's National Friendship Day. :pinkieshrug:

I think ACW was one of the first episodes I watched in which I did not violently hate ponies. So it was good.

Starting on Monday, July 18, fans can vote on their favorite episodes through Discovery Family’s website and help select the three that will precede the mid-season premiere.

It will be interesting to see which three episodes get the most votes.

Probably gonna be Slice of Life and the two Luna episodes. Let's be honest

Well voting starts Monday the 18th so no link to share yet.

But yeah depends on how willing EQD commenters are to flood the polls, because if they do it'll be Slice of Life, Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep, and.... I dunno Lesson Zero or some Discord episode.1

As for me I'll vote Hurricane Fluttershy, Ammending Fences, and a Rarity episode I like. Not sure which one, depends on what mood I'll be in come Monday

I'm not going to vote. At the end of the day, I still think the adult fans should take care not to interfere with the kids who like this show, and who might like very different episodes.

Also, I'm pretty sure most of us watch episodes online anyways, and picking what three will air first means a lot more to the kids.

Given DFC's ratings, I think it's a fair argument most kids aren't watching the show on TV either.

Joking aside I'll be honest every single actual kid that watches MLP I've ever met watched it either on those DVDs or on Netflix. I know it's a small pool, but it is interesting to wonder who all actually watches the show on TV anymore.

While I agree with you in principle, it's gonna get brony rushed for sure so I'd rather vote and get a good episode in there rather than Slice of Life :-I

After spending some time looking at an episode list, I think if I did vote, my favorites would be Magical Mystery Cure, Crusaders of the Lost Mark, and Bridle Gossip (an old favorite of mine).

All of the kids I know who watch this (niece, nephew, friend's son) all watch on netflix or amazon. None of them watch DFC.

I wouldn't even know said names existed if it wasn't for YouTube watching and episode discussion threads. It's just a thing I don't pay attention to. :pinkieshrug:

So Hasbro has acquired the animation studio Boulder Media, the studio that's worked on Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and Wander Over Yornder.

Hasbro wants them to work on projects related to their toy brands but there's no further explanation than that.

It'd be interesting to see if they work on the next gen of MLP and what it would look like.

That would mean Hasbro now has an in-house animation studio. (They only contract Ponies to DHX, not own it outright). That's an interesting development.

From the comments on the Variety article:
It could be a response to their biggest rival, Mattel becoming the parent company and owner of HiT Entertainment (which is now part of the Mattel Creations division) which owns Barney, Bob the Builder, Thomas and Friends among many other properties.However Boulder to Hasbro will be more of animation works since Disney Channel and Cartoon Network maintains rights to those mentioned properties.


HIT Entertainment was originally "Henson International Television." Mattel purchased them in 2011.
