@Blue Y'know that sounds REALLY fucking condescending and elitist, right?

Bluespade, Digger really is a fantastically written story once you move past the fact several characters are fuzzy animals. It's also at times hilariously funny, tragic, and heart-wrenching.

@Ginger: It's not that you're stupid, it's just that a lot of the plot points from the early sections don't get explained until later, so they're confusing when they don't have context. Again, I didn't understand a lot of it the first time I read it either. As you can pick up the basic plotline about the game itself, you'll be fine.

Black Mage wouldn't really work in MLP though. His whole character is based around two things, being a completely horrible person, which wouldn't work in the setting, and having terrible things happen to him, which wouldn't be justified without the horrible person part.

@Ginger: No, I don't see why it would be. I'm saying that someone who pays that much attention to all the details is very well suited to reading a convoluted, complicated story.

Maybe B Mage pony is always stealing/lying/stiching up/betraying ponies...and gets karmaic justice for it?

@Ginger: I don't think he was trying to insult you, he was saying that you're tendency to pick out all the details will make it a lot easier for you to understand the story. Because there are a lot of little details that get spun off into plot points.

[up]Don't worry about it. I'm a fan of the series and I fully admit that it's really tough to get into, and has a very specific appeal that definitely isn't for everyone.

But okay, back on topic. Ponies. They're awesome.

So like Gilda only having that party scene happen all the time.
I analyze "Geek Culture" here.

[up][up] Eeeyep.

And seriously...could a recurring villian (who appears as often as the CM Cs/Zecora etc) work on this show?

[up]That would actually be pretty interesting, although I think it's a bit late in the season to introduce one.

I would love to see a recurring villain. They'd need to be less of a villain and more of a questionably-amoral antagonist though, because if they were legitimately bad the gang would just hit em with the Elements of Harmony and then they'd be toast.

@ JT

Well here's hoping for season three! grin

@ Bluespade

Yeah...they can even be 'civil' to each other at times.

Another possibility would be for the villain to flee from the Elements of Harmony in the season opening, and then spend the rest of the season striking at them from afar, maybe showing up ever 5 or 6 episodes until the finale, when they get taken down.

Ahahaha you're going to have to try much harder than that if you want to drive me off. This attempt was merely cute.

Well he mentioned being hungry, so maybe he's eating.

Edit: Now that was an unfortunately timed ninja

You're making me sarcastic, Mr. Swasfes. You wouldn't like me when I'm sarcastic.

But anyway yeah I was eating. Going to watch episode 17 then possibly sleep since I have an exam tomorrow.
