Heck, I might actually be dissapointed if it just turns out regular bad. Or even good. :amazing:


So is the ranking system going to be "Suited for Success, good, okay, bad, Testing Testing 1 2 3?" :gotcha:

It's just Season 4, so SFS can't be there. So it's:

Great
Good
Average
Bad
Terrible

If this ends up like I'm hoping it does, I will add "So Bad It's Good".

Also Suited for Sucess would be under Perfection if I were ranking it (Sisterhooves Social, too). :vogue:

Edit:

I should make a special rank just for Rarity episodes. :ponder:

RIP Celestia. :smirk:
Reminds me when that screenshot of Cele laying down in front of Twilight first appeared.


Or if it is a 70's theme, maybe it means something like Charlie's Angels?

So...from an AP Psych student's perspective, I am interested to see how Dash deals with the stress of the test. What defense mechanisms she uses, how she shows her stress (if at all), and even how she studies. Meanwhile, Wayoshi will yell at me for applying psychology to a cartoon again. :-I

Yes...I am actually very interested in this. :v:

I can't wait for the Pinkie rap, I imagine it'll be hilarious!!! As for the episode itself, I don't really know how to feel. Just seems like it'll be just another episode IMO. However, that's also what I assumed about For Whom The Sweetie Belle Toils and Flight To The Finish, yet they turned out being amazing and some of my favorites of this season. I guess I'll have to wait and see, but I don't have very high expectations for this one. Hopefully it'll be better than Rainbow Falls though. :bluh:

There's no time, they're scrambling to film something to replace the Pinkie rap scene after the brony backlash :flail:

Maybe the preview clip was a pony rap, and they said "Oh wait, what are we thinking? :v: "

Maybe we'll actually learn the purpose of the Wonderbolts. It would be nice to know if they really are a part of the Equestrian military (akin to the United States Navy's Blue Angels) or what.

I used to think that they were an elite group of performers. Perhaps that used to hold some form of military role in the past, but as it appears that military use is no longer needed, I would imagine they shifted more into performing, than Equestrian Defense. :pinkieshrug:

But they were called in to deal with Giant Spike when he got greedy and there are stripes on Spitfires uniform in Wonderbolts Academy.

They had jet sounds when flying around, they're totally a wing ( :v: ) of the Equestrian Military in some way.

My guess on the lack of previews is that for some reason there's very little/nothing they could show without it being super spoilery or more then usual that is. Or HUB is just being lazy and doesnt wanna mess with heavy promotion again this late in the game until the season Finale.

See, Celestia isn't infallible. She clearly made the wrong pony a Princess. Everyone knows Fluttershy should be the Princess instead.

My face while watching that clip: :awesomedash:

This is why I like this stupid show about cartoon ponies so much:
1) Well-defined characters
2) Realistic conflicts between those characters

This is exactly how I'd expect Dash to react at having to take a Wonderbolts history test ("I've already proven I'm the best flyer there is!") This is exactly how I'd expect Twilight to react in response ("It's not just about flying, you're a representative and a symbol!")

Add in Twilight trying to talk up her new wings and Dash talking crap about Twilight not even knowing how to use her wings (and Fluts playing peacemaker), and this is what I wish the show could be 100% of the time.

:awesomedash: :awesomedash: :awesomedash:

EDIT: More perfect characterization moments in the second clip:
- Rarity's deadpan "is she fucking serious" face
- AJ's "oh, well I got nothin'."

I haven't watched the clip yet and probably can't because Flash doesn't work on this hotel computer, but I definitely have to agree with you there, Soundmonkey. Every writer brings something to the table and I can't wait to see what AKR has cooked up for this episode. :allears:
