^And I enjoy keg's interpretation. =)

It'd be a fun callback if it is revealed in a future episode that everypony kept their MDW costumes and they come in handy for some cunning plan.

Yeah, that's where I got the idea from. I really like the thought, really. I kinda wanna try and do something with it, if only just so I have a reason to actually use the speech Pinkie gives her.

Good ol Mare Do Well. She looked so cool.

Do you think Rare came up with the costume design all by herself?

"The Mysterious Mare-Do-Well" becomes a name passed down from pony to pony, much as "Dread Pirate Roberts" was.

@Ginger: Rarity found some Terran comic books in Twi's Library because of L-Space, and drew inspiration from them :D

@Kegs: Ah, That makes sense.

Do you think Equestria has ever had masked heroes like Mare Do Well before?

I know the wonderbolts wear masks, but I mean like a full on "secret identity" sort of thing.

Morning everyone. Sore throat today.

@ Ginger

I hope so...masked Heroes are always fun.

Oh, weakest episode for me was MMDW...and I had such high hopes for it too.

I still don't think it's AS bad as people make it out to be.

I rewatch certain scenes from it every now and then

My problem with it is...besides the oocness and mixed up message...it's Dash being an ass... I don't like that.

Heh, remember when we first heard the synopsis for "The Last Roundup" and it almost gave me a seizure?

Now it's ep I'm most anticipating

It's possible. Probably not in Ponyville (seems too peaceful except when the plot calls for it) but it wouldn't surprise me if there were a few in Manehattan or wherever, or perhaps Celestia and Luna took on some costumed avenger guises when overthrowing Discord.

I agree. Weakest episode of the season? Yes. Weakest episode of the series? No way! (Note, even the weakest episode (probably Over A Barrel for me, but not due to the controversy) is still highly enjoyable).

Wouldn't it be fairly obvious who they were under the masks?

Maybe somone steals the costume are starts using it for evil? Like the did with Robin's Red X costume in Teen Titans.

Probably, unless they wore bodysuits like Mare-do-Well did.

Hey, that gives me an idea: Ponified Knight Sabers, stat!

Personally, my rankings for "weakest episodes" are:

• The Cutie Mark Chronicles (except for filly!Twilight)
• Return of Harmony
• Mysterious Mare do Well
• Griffon the Brush-off (the only thing I like is the first five minutes or so. Once Gilda shows up it gets dull).

Though, an IRL friend of mine recently pointed out to me that I have a bias against episodes that give lots of screentime to non-pony characters (Spike being the sole exception—I like both his episodes). Even so, I honestly didn't think "Over a Barrel" was a bad episode.

You know as bad as MMDW was I always found the. . .em, "conversations" it started to be very interesting. For personal weakest episode, I guess Ticket Master since that is probably the only episode I found genuinely boring.

My own personal weakest episodes are;

Ticket Master,

Call Of The Cutie,

Owl's Well That Ends Well,

May The Best Pet Win,

Mysterious Mare Do Well,

These are the ones I'd pass watching again. I used to like some of them...but as I thought them over, I've gone off them. That that they are bad or anything...I just...fell meh about them.

Hmm. . .that is interesting. Has any one else had episodes that they initially liked but over time they grew to dislike?

For me, my opinion on Return of Harmony did an exact 180 over the course of a couple of weeks. I blame Discord.

Who else in this tread don't have disliked MLPFIM episode?

I like every episode even those "weakest" I like very much, and they are just not that strong like others.

BTW My least favorite is "Griffon the Brush-off"

Oposite hapen to me, I considered "Over the Barel" to be one of my "weakest" episodes from second part of season1 (with Dog And Pony Show) but I grewed to like it more.

Hye guys! what's up.

I honestly love all the episodes sop it's hard for me to decide a wekest

@ Mio: I have to agree on Ticket Master. It's the only episode that I really don't like out of all of them. And even then it has redeeming qualities (mostly in the Benny Hill scene).

That's how "Cutie Mark Chronicles" and "Griffon the Brush-Off" both happened to be on my list.

I'm not sure what to say about "weakest episode" but there is something different I thought of about Baby Cakes. I was thinking that rather than babies/toddlers who need a lot of their personal needs taken care of, Pinkie might do better at taking care of older children like the Cutie Mark Crusaders, since she could spend more time simply playing with them rather than needing to feed them, bathe them and change their diapers. However, she'd probably still have discipline issues, because she seems to either be too permissive by being too silly or else she barks orders and probably wouldn't do very well with a kid who kept asking "why" or questioned her outright. In general, Pinkie seems to be bad at explaining herself (see Swarm of the Century), partially because she tends to assume she's right and doesn't NEED to explain herself. However, Pinkie doesn't usually get asked to explain herself, so she might be okay with it if outright asked calmly. Her weird logic still might confuse kids even more, though.

Someone's worst eipisode is another one's greatest episode
