@ JT yeah I could see that...a three way mass exodus

@ Ginger

Yeah that was cool actually. The principle of E Ps could be a poison ivy type...good or bad.

10, 000 or so.

And yeah, I suppose puddinghead's referral to the planet as Earth makes sense, if it's covered in earth. Just like how our planet is called Water.
I have a message from another time...

MWW writes Dashie as a loud-mouthed, obnoxious jerk,

Uh, news flash Fran: so does everyone else. She was a bit over-the-top in MDW, but that episode had much bigger issues than RD's characterization. And given that she had much different motivations in this one I'd say she was acting spot-on. Dash is a jerk. A Jerk with a Heart of Gold, but still a jerk.

I like that Cookie can actually manipulate Puddinghead if she wants to. Such as getting the map off her [lol]

I guess you spend enough time around someone that insane you learn to deal with it

@fran Twilight and AJ characters were cool to, and rest wasn't bad.

[up][up][up][up]We call our planet Earth because we are land creatures.

They are like the others. Strange, hideous, resisting, fighting. Only these were not like the others. They did not die.

[up][up][up][up]Pretty much this. Though to be honest I really liked the way she expanded RD's character in more subtle ways in that episode.

Wish I could think inside the chimney, but I have a pellet stove.

Also, it's now canon that earth ponies "thing" is growing stuff, so the bitching and/or moaning can stop now, maybe?
Can think outside the box, inside the chimney and would really like a Tylenol, thanks.

Still reading the thread but.....

Where's Mousa? or Apple?

Whaddaya want ya bum?

I liked this episode, but I didn't get a chance to see all of it due to life. I saw most of the beginning and most of the end but I got enough via context and I'll watch it again later today.

Actually, I'd say the weakest character in this ep was Pansy weirdly enough. She just didn't have much to do

Actually, I thought the entire Pegasus side was realitively weak here (compared to the others)

I can't remember a single one of their gags

@Death: Actually we call dirt earth because it's what's makes up land. Earth was originally just the word for all land masses. While not a word for the planet, in the sense that there was no conept of a planet back when it was first created, Earth referred to land masses before what made it up - in essence it was the anme of the planet first, then used to describe waht made the planet second.

@Rich: Ah, but now the bitching comes that Growing stuff is lousy. Disregarding the fact that Smart Cookie grew a shoot in seconds from nothing but a hooffull of dirt without even trying, of course.

That's because she was a pansy.

Ahem.

There is a fine line.

I see Dashie as a boisterous overachiever. She aims for the top. She trains her ass off in order to be the best. She wants to her glory to be already there when she arrives.

There is nothing fucking wrong with that.

You know what is wrong with the following phrase?:

"I am going to forget about this pony falling to her inevitable death despite being the only one capable of saving her, for that would mean interrupting my bathing in rays of glory"

Everything. Every single word. Element of loyalty, everypony.

[up] I mean until then. Saving the day doesn't automatically make one a strong character

but of course it'd be [lol]

Ah Yes, the beginning of this episode, It's complainin' time: Rainbow Dash: World Class Douchebag! Seriously, who's so arrogant that when they become part of a performance they want it to be all about them? And they wonder why I can't stand her.

I also find it fascinating that Rarity, Rainbow, and Pinkie, the three potentially most unreasonable, irrational, unstable, and annoying representatives of their races were playing the leaders while passive Fluttershy, practical Applejack, and rational Twilight are the ones that represent the ones that solve the whole issue.

@Fran: She's also a braggart of the highest degree, and alway has been. she was genuinely sure that she could save the mare, and would have if not distracted (it's a moments work to change your trajectory by a few degrees) by the MDW. Oh yes, she was still a bit over the top there, in the same way that all of the ponies have gone over-the-top when they feel puffed up. AJ is a hard worker, but she's not stupid enough to work herself half to death - unless challenged. Pinkie is zany, but not enough to literally go crazy - unless pushed by lonliness. Twi is studious, but not dedicated enough to go super OCD over a letter - unless she thought she was goiing to disappoint her idol. They've all gone over the edge before, Dash was being luaded by everyone around. Yes, her over the edge was more negative, and yes, there are still some character issues. But she was a bit over the top. Not really out of character at all, really.

And in this episode there was nothing out of character about her at all. she was doing the exact same thing she always does - be loud, antagonizing and obnoxious - just with different motives.
