I made tread about MLPFIM reviews in internet , no response.

Really hoping the next episode finally has a new song, especially from Sweetie Bell. While personality wise I like all the CMC's equally, Sweetie is my favorite to watch just due to her incredible singing.

Also hoping we get Rainbow Dash and Applejack singing there own songs this season too.

I can't agree more.

I hope RD will have her episode with Wonderbolts and she will sing some big caracter song.

AJ need her episode even more. Also her singing would be great.

Totally agree.

Sorry, I can't visit that site on the computer I'm on.

On a side note, I'm checking out Fallout Equestria right now. It looks interesting.

Yeah, it's pretty awesome so far. You're in for quite a bit of reading though.

My Little Metro is also pretty good, but it's only 8 chapters in so far. Already had at least one Tear Jerker though.

Spike's more of a straight man (dragon?)/comedy relief character.

I love that fic so much. Its really good, but be prepared for some depression. Also, if you plan on reading the whole thing you're going to be busy for awhile. It blows my mind that someone can write that much in under a year.

Heh, cautioning me about the amount of reading? You're talking to a guy who re-read the Wheel of Time series every time a new book came out.

Huh. In that script think, Apple Bloom had Spike's lines. I wonder if it's real or not. I wonder if Spike was always going to be in it or if he was added later.

Pretty sure the script's real, since it uses Gilda's old name "Grizelda" (Lauren Faust didn't confirm that "Grizelda" was Gilda's original name until long after the script was leaked).

DOES THAT MEAN SPIKE IS SEVEN

I don't know when picking voice actors happens in relation to everything else, but it's possible they hadn't written as far as Bridle Gossip yet. They probably gave her Spike's dialogue because otherwise they'd have to pick a voice actor based on her one line from the pilot.

Yeah, it's probably easier to just use an existing dialogue/scene that gives a sense of what the actress can do with a role instead of writing a custom script just for an audition.

In Lesson Zero:

If Twilight was THAT desperate for a moral, why didn't she just use the tape measuring incident with Rarity? I can think of a good (okay not GOOD, but at least somewhat existant) moral right now:

"Dear Princess Celestia, this week I've learned that you don't always have to solve every major problem you come across in order to be a good friend. Sometimes, all you need to do is be there for your friends, and help them out whenever you can. Even if the tasks are small, easy, or innocuous on the surface, your friends will still feel grateful towards you at the end of the day."

Is that so hard?

Too easy. Most of her lessons result from convoluted or grand issues.

I know, but she was DESPERATE wasn't she?

She even asked Spike if he had any problems Major or Minor that she could help him with.

Think Celestia can tell if the report is just a bunch of bullshit?

That might have been a little too minor, even for desperate Twilight. And she wasn't actually that desperate yet at that point; she still had the other girls to talk to.

Probably she does, or someone could tell her.

I don't even think she reads the letters, she just throws em in a pile marked "For use against Discord" as soon as she gets em.

Personally, I wanna know what moral Twilight had in mind for the CMC. D'you think she'd mention the mind control?

Yeah, the ribbon thing is a momentary issue that only seems significant because Rarity is a drama queen. Writing a report on what happened there would only be a step or two above doing one on "Rarity dropped her pencil and I picked it up for her".

That and Celestia probably has B.S. detector.

Most likely not.

And something tells me Celestia would know. Who wants to bet she's using the sun to watch her student.

Always.

^^^She probably wouldn't have mentioned it; she just wanted a generic 'ponies should share' moral she could write down. I doubt she was even thinking clearly at that point.

And of course Celestia reads the letters. =P She has to grade Twilight somehow!

Thank you. Now I'm legitimately creeped out.
