I'm not terribly interested in Spike. He's okay.

I pretty much agree.

UGHGHAH, these connection problems are pissing me off.

@Chadaman: My internet connection keeps popping in and out. It's a pain in the ass.

I like Spike, but I definitely agree with the sentiment that he's a lot more interesting when he's interacting with the rest of the cast. I'd really like to see those interactions be explored in more depth. One of the things I really liked about Lesson Zero was that we got to see a bit more of how he interacted with Twilight.

Ah lol, not for you probs but my thinking.

I should be sleeping.

....naaaah.

I stand by earliest statement that Twilight without Spike can be kind of insufferable. They bring out the best in each other.

@Bluespade

Have you tried downloading the episode? it would ake longer but when done you will enjoy the episode completely

My two cents: I've really enjoyed the debates about this week's episode. Both sides here have put forth good arguments explaining their point of view, there is consensus on stuff, and no shouting. Good show!

Even on Eq D, people have expressed annoyance at Pinkie Pie, so yeah.

Spike is an excellent part of the dynamic. He's a good foil to the craziness that goes on, and I agree that Twi needs him for a little perspective.

You guys ask me that every time. Spike's personality itself is the reason he annoys me. He's mostly just that "little kid that hangs around this group of people and does kid stuff". A large amount of his screentime and antics involve him fanboying over Rarity, and I just don't find Rarity/Spike interesting, "adorable", or anything other than annoying. It says something to me that I found him more interesting when he was a giant, essentially brainless dragon hoarding a bunch of junk. Despite this, what J Teeth said. He was at his best in Lesson Zero.

Rant over now. I can't explain well.

I'm off to bed. Night guys. Sorry I couldn't really add anything to the debate

Better yet, maybe an Inverse: Spike finds out that there's really no need for the migration at all and invites some of the dragons back home to Equestria. However, upon arriving in Ponyville, all the little ponies start freaking out about over the sudden wave of dragons "attacking" the town, leading to a literal bullying the dragon scenario. All the dragons are forced to leave, revealing the real reason for the migration: To avoid other people.

Good night, Ginger. I'll be going to bed as well.

@Fallen: Oh, I'm not trying to watch the episode now (I have no privacy atm), I'm just irritated in general cause of my internet problems. Currently all I'm doing is listening to music, monitoring this thread, and reading manga.

@L Mage: Twilight, insufferable? She's too nice to be insufferable. I dunno, maybe it's cause irl I come off as pretty insufferable myself I've never had a problem with know-it-all types.

A bit off topic just wanted to share a crazy theory

Speculating a bit I think that Princess Cadence is related to hearts and hooves

Pink alicorn on a drawing = princess Cadence?

Princess cadence2?

Perhaps her wedding was the cuase of this pony holyday?

So Dragons really aren't big meanies but just misunderstood? They cant stand the squeals of ponies who wont stop screaming long enough for the Dragon to explain they just want to chat about the weather? That would be cool.

It was more noticeable in the beginning but it's gotten much better since then. Now I can bear her without Spike and even like her at times, but they still bring out the best in each other.

Weird that people are saying Spike was at his best in Lesson Zero, but I don't even remember him in that episode at all. Of course I was also one of the few who didn't like Lesson Zero very much.

Alright, I gotta get to bed as well. See everybody tomorrow.

Goodnight, people who are sleeping.

Night JT!

Huh, buncha people going to bed at once. Goodnight everyone.

So, who got the great 100, 000th post?

@Emidawg: Plus many of the dragons who grew up normally rather than the sudden growth spurt induced by gaining too many new material possession in a short span of time recognize this flaw in their species and try to find ways to cope with it.
