Basically everything but Pinkie being too ignorant is fantastic.

Wow, that was something, and they really did call back to Flutterguy. I honestly didn't expect that.

Also, is this reminding anyone of Singing In The Rain?

Well Spike did come up with it. Missing this episode, will have to catch it later, sounds like fun though!

The physical comedy in this one is absolutely top notch. Every camera angle and body movement is amazing.

The body and facial expressions are making this even better. Avatar explosion, holy hell.

This song is legit amazing.

Wiki article on Milli Vanilli's lip sync "scandal" for those who aren't old enough to remember it.

And holy crap this just got dark. And then AJ is flipping awesome.

The resolution (you just have to do it and see that it isn't so bad, something I still struggle with) and the moderate progress were perfect.

Much better then I expected, fun ep, solid 8/10 for me, only thing that keeps if from being a 10/10 is Pinkie being a total jerk! Seriously did she forget her meds?

But other then that, really fun!

Pinkie was over the top in a fun way though so I actually enjoyed her being a jerk. For once. I dunno why, it just worked!

Tone down Pinkie's insensitivity just a smidge and you'd have a perfect episode. As it stands, though, it's merely great, adorable, and fun. So many great songs this season. :allears:

Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. The first time it was like "ok that was silly, but it's Pinkie so whatever", and then the next 5 times it was just :-/.

But ya, overall it was a pretty good episode! :yay:

Yeah, I agree with others about Pinkie being a douche in this episode. At least the other ponies called her out on it.

Wow, so best. I was not expecting to get completely blown away. Cute and heartfelt and just plain great. Also, the comedic timing was off the charts. Characters kept showing up in the most unexpected and hilarious locations, and camera angles and everything just worked perfectly.

I was a little disappointed in Pinkie, though.

Still, :allears: / :allears:

That was awesome. I love Fluttershy episodes because she always grows so much as a person in them. :flutterunsmith: :flutterunsmith: :flutterunsmith:

*hugs you all*

Thing I laughed the hardest at:

Sneaky Pinkie sliding up with her sneaky face and then sliding back down at the Turkey Call competition. Just perfect.

Reminded me of the end of this:



Go Franklin. :yay:

This episode felt really weird for some reason. :starity:

But was still fun. :shenanigans:

Need to rewatch because the stream kept crapping out so I missed a lot. Was the father/daughter duo a reference to someone? It almost felt like a "win a guest spot on MLP" thing or something. :pinkieshrug:

Are they paying Daniel Ingram enough? I'm not sure they're paying Ingram enough. Talk about above and beyond...

Also, AKR delivers another solid episode. People complain about the way Pinkie's been written lately, but AKR knows the right mix of "insane" and "believable" and I think she nails Pinkie's personality in a cartoon-comedy way without being unbelievable or too over the top.

This episode is an unexpected highlight of Season 4 so far. Simple, non-threatening plot, amazing execution. It's lovely ear-candy. I went into the episode knowing nothing but the title and that it features Fluttershy, and from the title I could determine it was going to be something about music and Fluttershy on stage, but damn. This is another great example of the show going "above and beyond" all expectations.

As far as I'm concerned, pony has once again proven its ability to take an otherwise shaky premise and turn it into 20 minutes of fun, heartfelt, and sincere entertainment. Very much enjoyed!

This was a better episode than I thought it would be. There were a few missteps, like Pinkie being an oblivious idiot, but it was good otherwise.

Eh, Pinkie didn't really bother me in that episode except for the part at the beginning. She seemed all right to me for the rest of it, especially the turkey calling gag. :gotcha:

But this episode isn't about her. Seriously, they actually brought back a concept like this and made it work perfectly.

Yup! Flutterguy isn't a fan nickname, it's canon.

Pinkie edged into straight-up annoying a few times, but "no offense, you kinda sounded like a dude" gave me the best laugh all season. :lol:
