For the record Here's my review of Lesson Zero, complete with several paragraphs of explanation for why I think Twilight's freak out was at least partially justified.

EDIT: Oh, would you look at that.

JT, your reveiw of TMMDW was spot on with the episodes strengths and weaknes-

(Spots Rainity)

Oh god bloodly dam it!

(Splashes cold water on face)

I swear that over half of the views on that thing comes from our pagetoppers.

Anyhow, on the 'Would you date Rainbow Dash, and why would she ask you in the first place?', I'd say I would have no idea what she'd ever want with me. Our personalities and interests are just too different. That said, if the planets aligned during a full moon and she were to ask me, I'd probably not refuse outright. Going on a date or two might be at least interesting, and who knows, maybe opposites do attract.

Would I date Rainbow Dash and if so, why would she ask?

No. I don't like her. And I have no idea why so she would ask anyway.

Would I date RD? Hmmmmmm, maybe. I bet her idea of a date would be skydiving.

cough.

OH GOD BLOODY DAM IT TO HELL!!!

(splashes more cold water)

Ponibooru trawling time!

Haiku

Wait what is ZUN a brony or something I don't even

Twilight confirmed for Hisoutensoku patch?!

P-pinkie? (WARNING: Wet Mane)

Awwwwwwwkward (WARNING: "Specialty" phone operator)

Dressing in Style, huh

Surprisingly fitting

Reminds me of that Star Wars cave scene

Extra-prepared for an unmasking much?

"Craig, you gotta try this!"

I want to do that most episodes.

As for a date with Rainbow, um...yes. Definitely (assuming we're both humans). Now, as for why she'd ask me, I don't know. We're kind of similar in personality, as that quiz from several pages back shows, but I don't know if that would make us compatible or just drive us both crazy. There's a lot of Twilight in me as well, so it's entirely possible I'm not qualified either.

EDIT: Oh, and so I'm not combo-breaking.

Normaly I don't like those kind of video, but this one I do.

That's it I'm outta here.

Before I have an accident.

The meme is going mad

edit: Found one more on ponibooru - nice freeze-frame on Dashie :3

I must confess, that made me laugh.

That said... wonderful episode. We're lucky Dash isn't like the Plutonian. We're also lucky her friends stopped her while it wasn't too late.

Plus, it's always fun to see rainbow dash have that huge but clay-feeted ego of hers come tumbling down, returning to nothing, as she keeps letting herself down.

Well, duh!

The aesop was delivered not to Twilight, but to the rest of the group.

@Ace: That one with the humans is actually pretty spot on. Or at least more than I would have expected.

And the specialty phone line is hilarious.

This one just got uploaded to ponibooru. Serious shipping fanarts is serious shipping fuel.

And yeah, that phone call was hilariously awkward. Who knew Fluttershy enjoyed such a saucy thing?

Right I'm back.

@ Ace

That human thing was pretty good actually. Though AJ isn't freckled enough...and Pinkie isn't chubby enough. But that's just me.

Now, despite it's problems, the new episode has inspired me to work on my pony super hero team (after the boar story of course).

I'm hoping to stick the Clockpunk oc in there, and I've got another hero here:

A unicorn knight from the time of Nightmare Moon, frozen for 1000 years for some reason. Has similar problems adjusting to modern life as Luna. Knows the anicent lost art of Pugna Clypeum (sheild combat). Is a lot like Captain America in combat terms then.

I think it's rather obvious that FS would be a bit of an Otaku when it comes to sex. That is, she has saucy tastes, but is too shy to pick up, much less handle, a guy. So she'd resort to solitary or anonymous methods.

Romance with her would be a delicate affair. She's a Mr. Right Guy type.

From what I saw of that humanized pic, they just coloured in the hair of 6 celebrities (look at the tags).

The ZUN art thing is pretty cool, a nice reversal of the ponifying trend. Luna looks like she'd fit right in. Heck, she already has a personal power.

edit: And I know where that "specialty phone line" comes from...

I just found that out, lol.

This came perilously close to pass.

^^Yup. The ones I recognize are Zooey Deschanel as Twilight and Emma Watson as Pinkie.

On that note... what. Emma Watson as Pinkie?!

I was convinced we were heading straight for Lesson Zero Pt. 2. If the episodes were an hour instead of thirty minutes we probably would have.

Thefran: Technically, part of the aesop was not to blow things out of proportion (to paraphrase Pinkie, such that it becomes so bad Celestia has to step in), which would be directed at Twi. Despite that, I still wanted to hug her. Aside from my Twi bias, I might be a bit of a sucker for their most extreme meltdowns. I actually had a somewhat similar reaction to Party of One, even though Pinkie was clearly supposed to be in the wrong (although, on the other hand, part of that was the episode's situation was somewhat distantly relatable to a personal incident).

Ahahahahaha somepony really ran with the joke

Apparently, there's going to be a song almost every episode in season 3
