Postby Wayoshi (?) » Wed May 18, 2016 3:06 pm

When Rarity opens her flagship store in Manehattan, a tell-all article threatens to expose how badly her friends almost ruined the Grand Opening.


This thread is for discussion of the episode. This episode airs at 11:30 AM Eastern / 8:30 AM Pacific on Saturday, May 21!

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

Unlike Celestia and the Grand Galloping Gala, it seems like paying customers perhaps don't like having the rest of the Mane Six ruin everything. :v:

The show takes a deep look at journalistic integrity.

Will the brave journalist be allowed to print the truth, or will Rarity get her Princess BFF to pressure the newspaper into printing propaganda.

"Saddle Row" is a pun on Saville Row, but why the "& Rec"?

There's no way it's a Parks & Rec reference, there's just no way

It violates literally every rule of pun-making :gonkity:

I mean at least call it "Cutie Marks & Rec" jesus christ

While I'm sure it will be a good episode, the description of it doesn't sound all that to interesting. It just doesn't seem to have as much impact as the other episode's descriptions did. Not sure what to expect from it.

Rarity works best with low-stakes storylines. It's all in the emotions with her. She can (and does) make drama out of everything! That's what makes her best pony, of course.

Who knows about the ep as a whole, but this clip is giving me Suited For Success vibes, and if it can hit that level it'll be amazing. :iiaia:

I love it anytime the other ponies are caught up in Rarity's fashion whirlwind, and there's this disconnect because nopony really understands that world except for Rarity, leading to miscommunication and finally PANICKED EXASPERATION, FRAZZLED MANES AND GLASSES ASKEW :gonkity:

Well, Fluttershy understands somewhat, at least as a hobby, but as we all saw, she was dealing with the raccoons.

I like that it's clearly a high-class fashion event, but for some inexplicable reason there's a pack of wild raccoons.

Let's be honest here. Rarity has known these ponies for years, and invited them to her high-class event anyways. Unless she was hoping to make it interesting like Celestia does with the Gala, what should she have expected to happen?

Also, the on-screen title is "The Saddle Row Review". I wonder if that's a last-minute title change.
