@starscream: It's fan favorite, but only for one scene. Otherwise it's pretty average for the show.

Well, she's been given many focus episodes and the writers haven't done much in the way of character development for her. A Friend in Deed and Too Many Pinkie Pies try and give her some restraint and maturity, but they don't seem to last. She's changed the least out of the Mane Six.

[up]Oh I know. I even wrote about that. I'm pretty sure that a lot of people find her funnier and more entertaining when she is a side character, I just happen to find her annoying and obnoxious in those situations.

Urgh. It's too hot. I need some pegusi to come bring me some cloud cover. Where's Orion when you need him?

Cloud cover would only remove the effect of direct sunlight. But the ambient temperature is likely to remain high.

Well then I need a pegusus to fan me with her wings. Where's Fluttershy when you need her?

Well it's a nice cool evening for me. And right now I'm about to hit the hay no pun intended after a quick trip to the toilet and then I'm gonna rest for the night.

Well, I'd say the build up to that scene with Pinkie's slow descent into paranoia and mistrust is good.

Yeah, Party of One has lots of good parts.

Evening everypony. What's going on?
Yeah, Andromeda is heading for you. You got over 9000 years until it collides.

given that it's Gummy, that's not actually a problem, is it? or has he started to grow his teeth back?

Well then, to tired to expand on things, but, BRONYCON WAS AMAZING!!!!

Seriously, how many other conventions can claim to be so huge and so energetic, they end up getting measured on the Richter Scale?

From what I've from EQD, it sounded fun.

Richter Scale? What's that?

@Orion: it's a measuring system we humans use for detecting how strong an earthquake is.

@Orion; Is it true you guys plan your earthquakes?

Completely unrelated, the pony in this animatic makes me think of an evil Sweetscream Scoops.

Party of One is most well-known for Pinkie's insanity scene, but on the whole I think it's one of the better written episodes because it managed to delve into why Pinkie is so party obsessed; it turned a one-note aspect of her character into a valid point of characterization. My only gripe is that the development didn't stick in later episodes, and I can't really hold that against Party of One.

Also, I was gone for most of the day because I was hanging out with a friend and baking copious amounts of muffins.

Yeah the first night of Bronypalooza ended up reading as a 1.7 magnitude earthquake

I think that's a problem with Pinkie's episodes. The points of characterization brought up are decent ones, but they're forgotten about as soon as the episode's over She has a kind of Status Quoe Is God effect to her.

I think the issue is that the lessons she learns are only really evident when she's the focus character of an episode. When she's only a supporting character with a few minutes of screentime, the writers would generally rather use her as comic relief rather than use that time to dig into her characterization more.
