S05E18: Crusaders of the Lost Mark

Postby Wayoshi (?) » Wed Oct 07, 2015 3:23 pm

When Pip Squeak decides to run for class president, the Cutie Mark Crusaders rally around their friend, but find themselves helping their long-time nemesis, Diamond Tiara, in an unexpected way.


This thread is for discussion of this episode. The episode airs at 11:30 AM Eastern / 8:30 AM Pacific on Saturday, October 10!

Official preview clips and images are okay to post, as is speculation about the episode.

I'm surprised they even consider him to be a friend at all. He's so young, though, that he must be one of the only other foals left that is a blank flank.

The CMC do such a terrible job supporting Pipsqueak that Diamond Tiara is swept into office, who wastes no time issuing Order 66. :scheming:

I wonder if they timed this episode so that it comes out near the US election season. :ponder:

If so, they're about a year off. (Yes I know, local elections and all, but nobody follows those)

I hope they tone down the fake accent on him.


:gotcha: what if Diamond Tiara makes a big deal about how Pip wasn't born in Ponyville and isn't eligible to run.

I really liked Ponyville Confidential and Flight to the Finish, so I hope this episode is along those same lines. Diamond Tiara is one of the best villains on the show. :scheming:

Honestly, I've always thought that of all the show's villains, Diamond Tiara has been the most effective.

I am looking forward to see more DT after so long. And I hope for a song.

I liked Ponyville Confidental and Flight to the Finish too.

We got a hint from DT's VA that we might see another side of her this season. This would feel like a good fit.

I honestly don't know what to expect from this one.

I still want a pie in the face, and at least one pony, preferably DT, smoking a cigar. :v:

I'm with doc on this, I want DT to hype up pip's foreigness.

I can only imagine that Pip will want to hire a school nurse and then call the project Pip-care. The class room will be divided in controversy. :v:

This episode title feels like they were trying for two separate Indiana Jones puns and they got kind of muddled together into one

Then again I always judge episodes based on the quality of their title pun

Puns like this episode's title are better since they at least let you think about the joke, as compared to more direct puns that mostly just slap you in the face with their awfulness.

I think it still works as a play on just one title.

Crusaders rhymes with raiders, and mark rhymes with ark. There's just an extra syllable in the beginning of crusaders so it's not a perfect rhyme and a coincidence that the third movie title has the word crusade in it.

Driving Celestia into exile, Twilight into the Appoleoosan deserts where she watches Pinkie Pie raise Pound Cake from afar, while Pumpkin Cake ends up taken in by Fancypants and Fleur who are the new leaders of the Crystal Empire, while the fate of the other Princesses is "Unknown"?

I'm surprised there was no preview clip for this episode. Seems like Hasbro had just gotten back into the habit of doing those.

Huh. Haven't heard this type of song before. Minor key with very strong rhythm, almost like a march.
