I bet that a lot about getting hired for a gig like this has to do with putting in a good enough pitch that they want you to finish it for them. They wouldn't be announcing them as writers if their scripts hadn't been pitched to, approved, reviewed, and edited by Meghan first. It's not like they're hired without their work having been seen and then they're stuck with them if they're bad.

Didn't Larson's agent tell him to do the "M.A. Larson" as his show credit rather than just do his full name?

(And since when was Furby counted as a girl's toy?Man, back in 1998, among my friends those things were the shit.)

SoundMonkey44 wrote:@Grue. Personally I'm guessing the Rainbooms thing is just going to be a theme for upcoming FIM and EQG toys. Or who knows, maybe it's a spoiler of sorts. Maybe the season 4 finale is about Dash graduating from Wonderbolts Academy!
Also note, this was right off the top of their head, so we may be missing some, and there may be one or two derps. Comic Con was pretty crazy.
