...I will never forgive her for "A Friend in Deed."

You really blame AKR for all that? I agree that the ending was somewhat unsatisfying (about the same level as KCaFO), but I think Pinkie Pie's clinginess and obliviousness made huge sense there. When she was being stupid, I got upset at Pinkie for doing what she did, not at AKR for making Pinkie do that.

@Insert: Dood... That's Fuged up.

Weather you agree or not with pinkies tactics, AFID also gave us Smile one of the most uplifting positive songs in the series. AKR is a solid writer, hating her over disliking 1 episode is childish & petty, same goes for any other writer.

Going to repost something I did in the spoiler thread, it's some staff comments, first from the USA article:

To answer Headless, the latter sounds like Weird Al didn't write anything, but we'll see. It wouldn't surprise me if maybe Al tweaked enough to get a credit like someone said, but it doesn't sound like any pure Al writing credits.

I don't hate her over an episode. I don't hate her period. The only writer I flat-out do not like is Polsky, and that's after several poor episodes that make me leery whenever he writes an episode. I do think her writing was not as strong in Season Two, and she's going to have to transition back into ponies after working on Care Bears, and that episode was especially bad in a season that seemed to forget how to write Pinkie in the worst way.

But it doesn't matter what I say.

I've been making these damn things wrong all these years.

All this time, I haven't been making star shapes out of them.

I'm pretty sure I can trace back everything wrong with my life to this simple omission.

I think Smile justifies almost anything bad in AFID :allears: I do agree that when Pinkie burned his only pictures of his lost love that sort of crossed to line from really annoying to "you really seriously messed up there Pinkie." Which was kindof the point, but if you're sensitive to that for whatever reason then okay, I get it. Still, the sheer venom I've seen thrown at it seems to confound me and remind me that some people take this show way more seriously than I do.

Really the only work of fiction I can think of that actually got me angry for reasons other than politics or the like is Lady in the Water :applejargh:

Anyways, one thing that's not being talked about enough is that this is a musical. How many songs do you think we'll get?

Some people just don't like that sort of behavior, myself included. Perpetually enthusiastic, always-on people like her often get on my nerves very quickly. ("No, I don't want to chat right now. No, I really do not feel like taking part in whatever you're doing. Please leave me alone. I'll come and join when I'm ready.") It's all the more strange that she's still my second favorite pony.

How could I miss ArcadeChat? :argh:

Really, arcades have died off because home video games are so advanced, arcades can barely compete.

I mean, all the classics are easily acquired for PC or console for like 5 bucks or less; hell, tons of them are on your phone.

Really, Arcades are limited to the impractical for home stuff now, like racing games, skee ball, light gun, DDR, etc, which limits their appeal and profitability.

IAH, you shouldn't be so pessimistic about the show. I know that some people don't like A Friend In Deed but there is literally zero evidence that this episode will be like that. It's best to wait for it and see how it turns out.

I definitely agree with this. Sad ponies are sad to watch but sad Pinkie is almost heart breaking.

This leak basically confirms 411/412 are actually switched in production order. On top of Hub press release screwing up (revealed this synopsis as TaC for 1/25), the error in question has this episode releasing 1/25 too (hence, when it was listed, it was immediately made public).

Oh. Never mind. :ohrarity:

Yeah, I just discovered this (I thought you could view Google Play on browsers, but apparently you need an android device, something I don't have, and I can't view on YouTube because the account got suspended years ago)

Sent a request for refund.

I wonder why the production and airing orders on this and Three's a Crowd were switched. Did Hasbro think there would be more people watching TV the day before Super Bowl Sunday and thus want to give the Hub something huge to air?
