You didn't answer the implied question, Mio

Oh, derp

. Well, it is just that in both episodes I just felt that the catalyst that caused the conflict did not justify the kind of shenanigans that occurred. They also both had fairly simple solutions that could have fixed things early on, but then we wouldn't have an episode so. . .

But the point of those eps wasn't the conflict itself. Rather, it was how the characters reacted to that conlict. The reason why Lesson Zero wasn't wrapped up in about 2 minutes was essentially the moral itself. It COULD'VE been solved that quickly

@ Robbie

H&Hs could be cute as buck.

Cherilee is one of my favourites...and the more I think about it...the more I'm warming to the idea for her being with the alpha stallion!

I'm looking forward to it, although I admit that I'm a bit more excited for the Dash episode. But it really should be common knowledge at this point the summary is really no indication of how the episode is; I remember when the Lesson Zero summary came out and the reception was pretty lukewarm. Then we got the actual episode...

Holy crap, guys, I got a reply from Amy Keating Rogers!

Hi Matt,

Yes, I am getting flooded!

But I didn't know that Derpy had any negative connotations. As the mom of a child with severe physical and developmental disabilities, I never would have used it if I had. And that's true of everyone at MLP:Fi M.

Thanks for your positive feedback.

Best,

Amy

Chances are you're getting flooded with email right now, both in support and not, but I just wanted to say that I think it's ridiculous that you're getting attacked for including Derpy Hooves in the script for "The Last Roundup". It's not a good word, and ableism is a terrible thing, but you didn't name the character, the fandom did, and if anyone should take the heat for her 'stereotypical' appearance, it's us, not you. You're my favorite writer on the show, and I'd hate for this to discourage you in any way, so please be aware that there are people who support you out there.

I'll be looking forward to your next episode. Please keep up the great work!

*shrug* Sorry. If your going to have your characters react that way I need to be convinced that what they are reacting to is significant enough to justify it.

As Lesson Zero. . .all I have to say about that is, Twilight should have been sent back to magic kindergarten.

Oh, I didn't cover cider squeezy. Of the three i suppose I'm anticipating this possibly the most. I'm a fan of old-timey snake oil salesmen and am anticipating a man vs. machine and falling fairly solidly on the humanist side of the field, look forward to the Apple Family's triumph.

Cool, she replied!

Well I'm glad that she's aware that she has fans who respect her work. Honestly, this show wouldn't be the same without her!

Feedback from the writing staff ignored. =|

Edit: Ninjaed by a response. =D

I'm looking forward to all the new episodes we know about except "Hearts and Hooves Day" and "A Friend In Deed", actually. Maybe that makes me pony racist and also a militant shipper, but...

@Red Savant: That's awesome that you got a response back. Amusing that no one actually knew what Derp meant.

I never really anticipate any episodes, just so I don't get my hopes crushed if the episode is bad. Relatively bad, I mean, because it's impossible to have a bad episode of ponies.

@Red Yay. Hmmm, given what she revealed about her child in that response. I have a feeling that the reveal of what "Derp" meant might've actually given her a nasty shock
