You have the weirdest schedule, seriously. You'll probably be back on before I even go to sleep.

Today is like, shitty pagetopper day for me or something.

Oh lordy....

So episode 8 is AJ VS Rarity featuring socially inept Twilight Sparkle.

Both AJ and Rarity where highly amusing in this episode and all...the pillow fight was epic no doubt....but TP....Yeah she really really annoyed me. It seems like she had more social skills then this, and yeah obsession with books We Got It....but it was a little bit extreme in the scene where the tree branch was in her house. Also....just TP's whole attitude to the slumber party in general, convinced that she can make it fun via book checklist....Idk it seems a bit out there even for her. I thought she had more social grace then that.

I have to wonder what the deal with writing letters to Princess Clestia is at the end of each episode it's not like TP is telling the Princess stuff she doesn’t already know. Being...you know...a Goddess and all.

So....end result: I am not speaking to Rarity, AJ, or TP until further notice. No one came away from this episode looking their best.

So long, Ginger. Yes, I know you're hours gone, but whatever.

By they by I was skimming over what I'd missed, is it really a fact that Boobuster is gone now? Maybe we can invite her back - it's not as if Fran is an abrasive asshole all the time. It can just be like how I refrain from posting in response to a few people for the fear of saying something I'll regret. Friendship means occasionally putting up with people you don't like for people you do, after all. Or maybe that's just me?

I'm guessing the end-of-series revelation is that in all her years of being Princess, Celestia never learned how to make friends, and now needs to be taught by the one she was teaching!

Also I like how you abbreviate Twilight sParkle.

-headdesk-

God...I am so used to talking about Zelda that I automatically thought Twilight Princess instead of Sparkle....

Now I want to see Minda as a Pony damn it.

Well, she is studying "the magic of friendship". Presumably this is an untapped field. Although why this would be the case after everyone knows the story of hearth's Warming Eve is a mystery.

Oh, well, I guess every branch of science can always be studied in finer detail!

It seems to me that after episode 6, Twilight Sparkle begins to fall victim to the TV character syndrome where her intelligence is inversely proportional to the amount of screentime she receives. So if you're watching an episode where Twilight's been in every scene, expect her to be as dumb as a brick before it's over.

I should head to bed before I pass out mid way through episode 9. But yah, corner time for TS, AJ, and Rarity aside, I find this series to be mostly living up the hype by now, it's defiantly a case of Growing the Beard.

Mind=blown

Pony Midna you say? That sounds like a great idea.

Rule #??: There is pony of it. No exceptions.

I'm gonna go Rule 42 on that one. Becuase, as we all know, Pony is the meaning of life.

@ kegisak

So you think we should ask for boo back? That's kinda nice!

Maybe we should?

@Mage : chill, Twilight's just your average almost-hikkikomori student who puts all her faith in books and is almost completely helpless outside of her precious academics. On top of that, unexpected spanners in the works really mess up her precious plans.

@L Mage

That's actually a relatively rare opinion you have there. LBYS is one of my fav episodes but most other people found it pretty meh. Strange to see someone else who liked it.

Wait... what did AJ and Rare do?

I love Look before you sleep. Twilight's social awkwardness is just so cute! And it was an episode where AJ gets to abuse Ratity!!

plus, AJ's just ADORABLE in it

It's definitely an adorable AJ episode. She needs more moments like this.

Agreed, AJ needs more love in the show. Hopefully she will get some during the next ep.

(Oh, and welcome L Mage.)

I love these running conversations we have with folks who are just getting into the show and posting their impressions. Don't stop, L Mage!

Welcome to the herd, L Mage.

Yeah welcome to the herd L Mage!

Aww, I wanted to say that first. Oh well, welcome to the herd anyway.

I can't help but notice that Applejack is the most discussed pony in this thread, even though she's only third most popular pony, shared with Rarity.

Good

I'm pretty sure she's the most discussed because of me

Probably because she's got so much potential to show us.

That, and she's awesome.

Oh right I almost forgot to welcome you to the herd too :V

If I had my special confetti shell ammo, I'd fire my Party Nerf Vulcan Cannon in celebration.
