But ... have you ever had the experience of putting diapers on a dog?


Yes that's right. I'm the top of the page. What of it?

Do you hand your dog off to family members, go to art shows, and then start thinking about your dog?

No we leave the dog at home, go shopping, and then we start thinking of the dog so we go home.

They should have had Spike yell "NO WHAMMY!" when it went missing at the hospital. :here:

Boy, that story of Gusty the Great vs. Grogar sounds a lot more action-packed than I remember it being. :dreamworks:

Don't take your babies for hospital visits and especially don't let them be in close proximity to very sick kids! :ohgawd:

That's all I could think about in this episode

I don't think hives are contagious. The outbreak might've been the kids all being around the same actual source, rather than one passing it on to the other and so on.

Thankfully I keep many pics of him on all my devices, so I can always look at my dog. He's both my lock screens, and my wallpapers.

Not as bad as I thought for a demon baby episode, considering all MLP babies are possessed ugly hellspawns.
It's nice to see a bit more background pony action, although I'd be better if they cut most of the Cadance and Shining Armor parts in favor for the A plot.
The "I'm so stressed about my newborn and I have to get rid of it but then I miss it super much" story is so cliché to the point that I don't find that genuine at all, no matter how well put together it is.

Like, it doesn't constantly and wholly consist of keeping up with a tiny hellion, and even the hard parts are worth it when you think about how much your child means to you? That's something I feel this episode did better than Baby Cakes, at least.


Terrible message to send kids, Baby Cakes was the best deterrent to teen pregnancy

ImageThe Dashing Dragon warrior breathed a scorching flame from as his snout, then chuckled to himself as he flew in to the sunset.
Image "If you can't stand the heat ... don't fight a dragon."

Image As Daring Do trekked through the tropical jungle, the wet heat sapped her energy and slowed her every step. If only she could escape this oppressive atmosphere and fly up into the cool blue sky. But her crash landing in the jungle had injured her wing and she was grounded for a few days. Few days... it might as well be a few months, or a few years! The mosquitoes buzzed loudly. The macaws cried from the high trees. Yet all of these distracting noises were not enough to cover the sound of the predators following her every step.

You know, the mention of Gusty has me wondering if she could be one of the historical ponies that the comics will feature in the Legends of Magic series.

Actually, Cadence outright said they needed a "night out". "Don't you mean a day out?" "Yes! Isn't that what I said?"

Well at this point we've already added a bunch of posts talking about what I originally wrote before trying to edit away (because for some reason I'm not allowed to just delete my own post even though this site seems to give me the option). Might as well keep them.

I feel like if she was, she'd be one of the upcoming solicits. The interview with Hickey and Whitley did say that the comics would reveal more about characters around the same time we're hearing about them in the show. A comic about her five months down the road doesn't seem "around the same time".

Still, there's one more pegasus whose name hasn't been revealed yet that the series will cover in its first six issues. And even if it's not her, it's always possible for the series to get to her later on.

I think the episode said she was the first to try marching to Cloudsdale without flying. Plus it did mention her "unicorn guards".

I was about to ask if G1 Gusty was a pegasus, but then it occurred to me that with a name like "Gusty" she had to be...

Except...

I just looked her up and it looks like she actually was a unicorn in G1. Weird.

Not as great as the first two episodes, but entertaining enough. I think I liked the scenes at the art gallery more, tho.

Something I learned is that G.I. Joe (another Hasbro property) also has a character named Spearhead, so I'm wondering if the Pony with that name was an intentional reference.

I liked this one. Not going to top my favourite episodes list, but it had some fun moments for Cadance and Shining, lots of good material for Spike, some nice scenes for Pinkie and Cheerilee and lots of great stuff for Twilight.

Can now confirm that the pony depicted on the cover of Twilight's book is a unicorn.

Anyone notice that the CMCs, Diamond Tiara, and Silver Spoon wern't shown? I wonder if they're in separate classrooms than the ones that got sick.

I doubt their exclusion was done as an implication of Cheerilee's class structure. Rather, if any of the sick foals were ones we cared about then we'd perhaps expect the episode to spend more time on them.

How is a pony named Spearhead not a unicorn?


Pinkie was pretty good, I enjoyed seeing her in her day-to-day element.

If you were a unicorn, would you really want to be stabbing things with a body part that's attached to your skull and likely connected to your brain?

Image What kinda parents would name their unicorn Spearhead? That sounds like an ethnic slur!

Image Like - check out this guy, he's just another Mouth Writer.

Image Mouth Writer was a novelist who was known for his snappy dialog. He claimed it was all due to his process where he wrote everything in longlips instead of using a typewriter. He'd said it was because the words couldn't run away from him if he kept a close eye on them.

ImageIt's a shame he wasn't more prolific, but he developed dental problems later in life and he was forced to give up writing.

Something something pony, thing is magic.

Flurry Heart already had an episode where her baby emotions cause trouble, and I honestly forget how they fixed it. Luckily there's a 95% chance they'll recap it in exposition.

It's pony time.

• "I'm never too busy to visit sick foals" is a thing princesses have to say and hope they're not expected to actually do it.
• Horsie Hives :3
• It's another instance of photos having a different art style. Ha, one kid isn't too sick to smile. :saycheese:
• Whether babies are cute is debatable, but they do make everyone around them cuter. :allears:
• NOTE TO SELF: make gif of Flurry's happy dance.
• I could literally watch 22 minutes of Twilight playing with Flurry and nothing else.
• "Honestly, all your friends' names are very similar."
• This had to have been really fun for Tara Strong to silly it up.
• "bug"
• I wonder what Spike was like when he was a baby and if Filly Twilight had to deal with any of that.
• Who'd have guessed, aunthood was the thing to break Twilight's checklist obsession.
• Ha, parasprite plushies.
• Lyra and Bon-Bon go doll shopping sometimes. It's completely normal, okay?
• Horsie snort :ponydrugs:
• Glad Cheerilee didn't get sick!
• Of course there's a Pony Latin. How could I even have doubted?
• Ha, Spike just sits on the floor and gets reading.
• "with my mouth"
• Oh god, Flurry meets the Cake twins. :gotcha:
• I forgot all about Pinkie's party cave!
• Huh, figured Gusty would be a griffon.
• Credit to Flurry (and the writers), her shenanigans are not just out of control magic. And she's old and smart enough to get into interesting trouble, not just cry.
• "Spike, you're floating."
• Twilight is a Best Aunt, but she still dorks into oblivion over a good book.
• Leave it to Spike to know what Kids Today want.

ALL IN ALL: I liked this a lot. Not deep, just pure entertainment with some great character bits and top-notch work from Tara and Tabitha. For me, that's plenty. 9 out of 10 jars of mashed peas.
