Well, Wander Over Yonder was already cancelled (Thanks, Disney :argh: ) so unless Disney already contracted them to do another series, I'm not sure what they'd be mad over :v:

Disney pitched a fit when Hasbro made merger overtures toward Dreamworks, and it endangered Hasbro's lucrative deal to make Disney Princess toys.

But Hasbro is already making cartoons through DHX, so I doubt having an in-house animation studio bothers Disney as much as Hasbro siding with their big competitor.

It should be noted that Boulder only did subcontract work on "Wander" and "Foster's Home", kinda like how that studio in the Philippines animates Pony.

Welp the episode poll website is up

http://www.discoveryfamilychannel.com/vote-for-your-favorite-episodes/

Good news, no Slice of Life, bad news is its only like 5 episodes from season 5 to choose from..... and Applejack's Day Off.... for some reason.

Went with Ammending Fences, since that was one of my choices anyway.

The Mane Attraction's description:
Applejack discovers that a visiting rock star is an old friend of hers, but also is dominated by an unscrupulous manager.

That was not rock music that Coloratura was originally performing. :seethe:

DFC never fails to disappoint.

But seriously what is up with these choices. Like all of them are from season 5 in no particular except for AJ's Day Off. It screams lazy yet the random addition of an episode from the current season almost seems like someone had to have put some kind of thought into it.

it's all amazingly confusing.

One of Trump's campaign people tried to downplay the accusations that Melania Trump plagiarized part of her speech by saying one of Twilight's lines about dreams and making them happen. It mostly just made the people who don't watch the show shake their heads at the stupidity of the argument, the people who do watch the show laugh at how said quote was completely out of context and the stupidity of the argument, and the people who work on the show get pissed off that a feminist series about friendship and harmony was used to defend Donald Trump.

On the plus side, this is an adorable hat.

Hey, it's Thursday yet again, so that means it's time for the last of S3 on the Pasture. Tonight at 7:30 Eastern we'll watch up to that episode where Twilight has wings pasted onto her butt.

Fun fact: With the new episode on Saturday, Twilight will have been an alicorn for more episodes than she hasn't.

No one is in the Pasture. I was about 7 minutes late, did it get cancelled? Did it get cancelled because of me?

Having just watched MMC again, I'm reminded of how I felt back then. I was bitter and kind of scared, feeling like Hasbro had spent most of S3 pissing on Twilight's character and then using the finale to force her into being even more of a bland hero, and then EqG was looming on the horizon and looking less good to me with every detail of it that dropped. I'm glad that Meghan and the gang have done such a great job from S4 onwards in keeping the show going and keeping the characters growing, and also glad that Hasbro backed off from meddling quite so much with the show. But what I'm most glad for is that I joined TRS when I did, two weeks after it aired.

That's kind of a sweet story. :flutterunsmith: I only joined incredibly recently, but it's been lovely to get to know a lot of you and discuss the show at depth.

I kinda binge-watched up until Season 6. Kind of good for keeping things fresh in your mind, maybe a little less good for building up hype for another episodes (when I can just immediately watch the next one :-P ). So, really, when I watched "Magical Mystery Cure", I didn't have time to speculate on concerns or much else because I just moved onto "Princess Twilight Sparkle". There's also the fact that I like "MMC" quite a bit, but that's just me.

Still, I do wish I had got into the show a little earlier and joined here. You're all very friendly, and as for the show, I had no idea what I was missing out on until I tried it. Hopefully it doesn't completely take over my life the more I watch it until I become a slave of Hasbro. :byopinkie:

There was so much fandom drama after season three ended. All the conversation and debating. The show was discussed so much more deeper back in those days. When Equestria still felt so new and unexplored and untamed. In a way I miss those times but I'm also glad the fandom calmed down to such a reasonable degree. Now we can have civil discussions without it eventually turning into a flaming troll war over every little detail.

I keep saying the same thing (I joined TRS in March?) and only started watching the show last October or so, starting with Season 5, but every time I say that everyone says 'no, you just missed a lot of drama'. So I guess I don't feel that awful anymore. Still meeting wonderful people here and enjoying ponies like crazy!

I wasn't here for that debate and to this day I still don't get how y'all managed to turn that into a debate when the line was clearly "for Moondancer"

It doesn't even sound remotely like from.

Now the great game/gay debate from Hurricane Fluttershy. Now that was a debate.... yeah not really

I'm glad you don't feel as awful then, and I definitely agree with your last statement. :allears: I'm sure there might be more drama in the future, however. It's just kind of inevitable.

When Dash asks Fluttershy if she's game, a surprising amount of people all claimed to mishear it as "you're gay?"

So now I have trouble unhearing it when I rematch that episode.

Oh wow. I'll have to purposefully listen for it next time I watch the episode, I didn't hear it like that when I last saw it.

You are right though, that doesn't sound like much ground for a debate.

Friggin newb babbies. Early 2011 here. Y'all missed the early excitement and energy. But also the outrage from people who didn't get it and decided fans were all freak monsters.

Also the pppp Discord server we have now is legit awesome.
