I don't really have a fave zombie movie as such.

Oh well.

Oh! The other thing is that my vampony mage starts the fic as really weak because he's starving. So he's very dependant on his friends for while. Still manages some really impressive stuff though.

EDIT:[up]Good luck. I think it's nowhere near as bad as it's made out though. It isn't even in my bottom ten least favourite episodes.

I do think it's one of the weaker episodes, but at the same time I don't consider it nearly as awful as a lot of people seem to. It just needed another round of editing before being put into production.

a LOT of editing. Yeah I'm one of the ones that rates it as the worst episode of the series. mostly just for how out of character EVERYTHING felt, not just the Mane 6, RD, but the entire setting. It simply did not feel, at all, like the rest of the show does.

I don't think that makes it bad though.

Anyway, I need to figure out if I have AOE 2 lying around anywhere. Maybe we could start a friendly league.

I think it's alright. Not great, not a disaster. The superhero shout outs were nice. It makes sense if this happend over a few weeks.

Exactly. This is what I've been saying.

If they would have

1. Made it clear that it took place over a longer period of time

2. Shown the cast trying to talk to RD about her giant head before jumping right to the MMDW ruse

It would be one of the better episodes.

So I've just finished the "dreaded worst episode of the show" so was it gut-wretchingly bad as I thought it would be? Not really no, now don't get me wrong this episode was still pretty bad, the characters were acting really out of character and weren't acting like they should, it felt like I was watching a completely different show with this episode and felt like I was watching a marvel superhero show rather than a show about multi-coloured rainbow ponies...it just really took me out of the show and quite frankly distracted me from what was going on. And the plot holes.....oh god the plot holes in this are astounding...I refuse to believe that this was going for days when the way they were describing it felt like a day than a week or so.

People keep on saying it's the worst ever but to be honest, I think I had more frustation with The Cutie Pox than I did with this episode. While it's not horrible enough to rival Not All Dogs Go to Heaven or The Great Divide, it's certainly not a great episode by a landslide.

Removed the compel out of place construction zone, the even more anachronistic then normal hydroelectric dam, had some reason that death cliff out of nowhere showed up, or removed it in exchange for something that doesn't feel so out of place...

People where? Because that's definitely not the consensus here.

No it's the consensus of the fandom overall though, it always tops every single "Worst episode" poll by quite a wide margin.

Perosnally for me, worst eps are that and Spike At Your Service

The construction zone wasn't that bad, and the dam wouldn't have been a problem if not for the "Hydroelectric" part.

As for the death cliff, I actually heard a really good theory about it: It's a takeoff ramp for Pegasi hauling carts.

@Story: Around here it's not, but in the fandom at large it's one of the few episodes that people won't jump on you for complaining about. Even the people who like it admit that it has problems.

My least favorite episodes are probably "Over A Barrel" and "Dragon Quest". The former focused too much on side characters and the resolution wasn't very good, and the latter set itself up like it was going to give us some information about dragons and Spike's past and then wasted it on the teenage dragons.

It's just weird to see him constantly talking about what 'everyone' says when the people here haven't been saying that. Seems a bit like Won't Take "Yes" for an Answer.

@starscream: That was more or less the reaction I expected.

I actually make something of a distinction between between episodes I think are the worst and those that are my least favorite.

I think the worst episodes of the series are MMDW and the season three finale, but my least favorite are Lesson Zero and It's About Time. . .yeah.

Plus being made out of concrete by the looks of it, something we've never seen even a hint the ponies had. A dam, yeah, THAT dam, hell no. The construction things was freaking ludicrous. A crane? A full on freaking CRANE! Yeah it's made out of wood but, still, no, just no. Plus the building they were making was completely at odds with every other structure we've seen, and makes no damn sense in and off itself. The floors were so damn small, and stacked so high.. it was like no one even tried to care about anything there.

Now that I've got that out the way I feel a little bit better about tomorrow but I'm still a little tense for the enrolment but I've done before so I won't be afraid of enroling for another course for a second time right?

The episode I think is the worst is Over a Barrel.

Least favourite season 2 episode is Dragon Quest and that's the only non-season one episode in my bottom ten.

@Seraphem: Cranes aren't that complex. Concrete isn't exactly out of place by the series' tech level either, given that the Romans were known for using the stuff. Just because they don't use it often doesn't mean they never use it.

They have movies and turntables and know what tanks (admittedly, these are probably primitive Da Vinci styl tanks, but still) are.

EDIT But let's discuss more pleasant things. In clebration of my new avatar, let's match ponies to Keychain of Creation characters.

Misho = Twilight. Duh.

Secret = Fluttershy

Unless Fluttershy is Blossom.

Sunset = Nova

Marena = Rarity

Karen = Applejack

Ten Winds = Rainbow

Mew Cai = Spike

Pinkie = ... ... ... One of the fey brothers?

Any other suggestions?
