It's sane to believe in communism, but practicing it requires you to isolate yourself in a small community or to attempt to force it on a large scale using totalitarianism.

But this is off topic.

So the next episode's a Rarity episode, right?

Yea, you got my thoughts across better then I did.

Yea, really. I tend to cause spin offs. I use unrelated comparisons to make my point alot. I kinda pave a highway to off topic-ness.

I don't know about the next episode though. I'm on 13 of season one.

Twilight is #42? HA! I love shout outs.

Sweet and Elite. I wish for it to be more dirt against Rarity but I tend to not get that lucky. I think MTBPW and TMMDW were once in a blue moon sorts of things. But Rarity Episode=Good Episode so I'm looking forward to it.

...Damn you MLP. It made me stay up WAAAYYYY too late. My mom's pissed now.

#47480 CDRW Wed, 30th Nov '11 9:17:27 PM

Oh man, it's this episode. I both excitedly await it and fear it. Rarity is bestpony and I didn't like the way she was portrayed in her last episode so much. Hoping for more Diamond Dog style awesomeness.

I only stay up for R Ps.

I love how you dislike Rarity, but acknowlege that she tends to be central to the better episodes. I like her because of those episodes despite the fact that she's a character type I would normally detest.

Any bets on whether we'll reach 50k posts before the next episode airs? This thread is moving insanely fast.

Well, Sweetie Belle's seeing a therapist now. Luckily, seems last week Scootaloo discovered that counseling was her special talent.

Wait, I just saw Scoot's cutie mark fall off...

I just wanna know when we're going to overtake the Touhou thread. I've been thinking we were right on the verge for over a week now.

Poor Sweetie. She doesn't understand the horror she's going to experience with Scootaloo as her therapist.

At first I disliked Rarity, but now I think she's pretty high on the pony list. Simply because her episodes are cool.

Pink is like a form of red but gayer. Thus The law of chromatic superiority is doubled.

What really cinched her for me was Suited for Success. Especially due to "Art of the Dress".

I was sold on Rarity after her bedroom scene in "Suited for Success." Honestly I just want to hug her every time I see the "... whatever it is ponies are supposed to wallow in!" scene.

And it also led me to check out the equally awesome "Putting it Together"

I want another ponified version of a Broadway showtune some point this season.

Did you really think Counseling would be Scootaloo's Cutie mark? She's got the attention span of a gnat! SHE'S PROBABLY MAKING THINGS WORSE! Oh god, what if she's using Freud?

Meh, I still dislike her, but it's okay because all of her episodes are some of the best ones. But really... She made me sympathize with the Diamond Dogs!

This line is when I realized I loved Rarity.

To be fair it really did seem like she was a natural at making dresses when there's no Executive Meddling involved.

I wasn't a big fan of Rarity at the beginning, but I must admit that she's grown on me, especially after Sisterhooves Social. Still nowhere close to overtaking Twilight as Best Pony, though.

Twilight is my Best Pony also (helps that I've been playing her for months), with Fluttershy in second place, and Rarity in Third.

I used to really dislike Rarity - I could have sworn her name was Vanity for the first few episodes - but she's now my favorite pony!

I'm a college student! I don't have time for this!

Rarity has a certain charm to her that doesn't really translate well to newer viewers. However her wit, charm and sexy accent will get to you, sooner or later.

The first two episodes I watched were Over a Barrel and A Bird in the Hoof, so I barely knew she existed.

Yeah, she looks vain and superficial at first, but it becomes clear that she's just a really good person. I think "Green Isn't Your Color" really cemented that for me. She's all too aware of how shallow and jealous she is acting, and she's honestly remorseful about it, even from the beginning. She doesn't even try a Zany Scheme or any form of sabotage. She doesn't want to keep her friend from what she thinks is making her happy.

I dare ya to find a similar plot where the jealous one is that self-conscious about it that early in the story.
