Corpy wrote:So the message of Gilda's first episode was: sometimes your friends are jerks to your other friend.
Today's episode: sometimes entire cultures and/or races are jerks.

ahem, that is MY pun
this was a multigoon production. I wrote it (with some contributions by haller), haller did the video, octavia did the music, Aramek did the singing
you don't want to hear the secret outtake version with me singing.
Bakertoons wrote:Anyone notice that they're seem to be making fun of the show's tropes this season? This episode alone had Gilda sarcastically mentioning that the secret ingredient is friendship (actually baking soda), and Rainbow saying that Pinkie's moral was "sappy".
The show's been running for so long they can do this now.

By the way, off topic... I never got back to you on a couple things from before. Firstly, I haven't watched Doctor Who, but I knew enough about it to recognize the connections in your avatar/title/handle. The only reason I had to ask was, well, on EQD and Twitter you're called "DrForester" and have a pic of a guy who looks like he could have a PhD. (Though I don't know if the pic's actually you)
Secondly, was curious but never asked (probably since the conversation'd drifted by then) - When you said you were training to be a pilot. Commercial or military? If you don't mind my asking.

The picture is of Dr. Forrester, a character from a 90's TV show called Mystery Science Theater 3000. Absolutely fantastic show if you've never seen it. As for piloting, I'm going for a commercial license.

MS3TK, huh? Haven't seen it, you're right. Most of what I know about it adds up to:
1) The MS3TK Mantra (thanks, TVTropes)
2) Manos: The Hands of Fate

Open the oven with front hoof, grab the tray with mouth, close oven with back hoof. There's loads of ways they could've animated a scene like that, but I like that they did it in a way that makes it seem effortless.

Perpetual Lurker wrote:I like that the map sent them to Griffonstone more or less just to patch up Rainbow Dash's relationship with Gilda. It almost make me think that the map cares about the betterment of the mane 6 and their understanding of friendship just as much as it does about fixing things elsewhere.
