@Hourai: Yeah, pretty much. He's just so used to doing more academic work (organizing stuff) that he isn't as used to doing menial labor. Either that or he's so used to working at the library that he doesn't really have to think about it much, and that lack of thought carried over even when he started doing stuff he wasn't used to.

I thought the episode made it quite clear that the Code was something Spike himself made up. I mean, he even introduces it as "Spike's Dragon Code", and he has this cute little crudely drawn card for it. Definitely not something every dragon would have.

@Lurker: Clearly it's something Spike wants to culturebomb the Dragon race with, in hopes of making them less jerks.

@Lurker: Kind of interesting how as the episode goes on they seem to treat it as an actually thing that Dragons have rather then something he made up. Must of been pretty compelling on his part.

@Perpetual: I think everybody gets that; it's more "Did Spike come up with the idea on his own, or do all dragons create their own codes?" I kinda lean towards the former, since Spike hasn't had enough interaction with dragons who would actually care about the code. If anything, he realized that Dragons don't exactly have the best reputations, so he created the code to make sure he wouldn't turn into a jerk.

Wait, has the episode played already?

#322982 Japanese Teeth Sat, 29th Dec '12 8:21:06 AM from Meinong's jungle

Yup, at 10:30 EST.

Although a leaked version is on youtube if you want to watch it.

Its actually kind of cute that they all take this seriously and play along. It surely make sup for that whole "ignoring" him from season 2.

#322985 kegisak Sat, 29th Dec '12 8:23:03 AM

Guh. Time zones.

But if it's on youtube, then that's alright.

@Ace: Ah yes, the Spike/AJ ship tease.

This episode lacks the amount of shipping I expected. I am disappoint.

Insert something witty that makes me better than all of you, here.

Also, I noticed that the giant Timber wolf kind of had a small throat-hole. It looks like a rock could definitely get lodged in there.

That scene with Rarity and the badly-baked pie gets funnier if you imagine it as Spike trying to imagine himself in an OT 3

When AJ explains what's happened to Twi, Twi replys, and I quote

"This is dragon code we're talking about. Surely you know how important dragon code is to a dragon?"

This implies that it's not just spike, but dragons in general.

I'm telling ya, this is a vital bit of world building for Equestria!

One of my favorite things about the pie scene is that Spike himself would probably find the pie do be delicious.

Oooor Spike told Twilight that and she believed i.

Like I said, maybe dragons have their own individual codes for these situations.

@Blissey: IIRC traditional Dragon lore says they tend to make some rules or geas for themselves to live by, and it is srsbusiness to them.

Either that or Twilight is just playing along/doesn't know better. It's been established that she isn't exactly an expert on dragons, after all.

But moving on. Dash is confirmed for writing self-insert stories about herself. Discuss.

Watched the episode.

I'd say I most enjoyed the dramatic music that played as Rarity was about to take a bite from the pie, Dash's self-insert novel, and the bad acting with the fake Timber Wolf attack. Oh, and that as soon as the pig was cleaned off, she was rolling in the mud again.

And I'm kind of curious how Timber Wolves as a species have survived for this long.

you really think Twilight, researcher extraordinaire, would take something like that at face value from a source that knows very little on the subject?

@Japanese Teeth

Don't be ridiculous. Rainbow Dash doesn't just shamelessly make herself the main character of her stories.

The main character's name is Spectrum Run. That's completely different.
