@gingerale: For me it will be tragic to watch.

@Mousa: People will tend to look for the best in the characters in this show, particularly the protagonist. There is also the assumption that at their core all of the protagonist are really good ponies (which as I have said before, is not a safe assumption).

And of course, not everyone shares your Rarity hate.

It's not hate, it's a case of Not so Different coupled with Legendary levels of self-loathing and self-denial.

Apparently I can analyse a person quite well sometimes you'll see the denial when he facepalms or detonates at me

hehehehe you never anaylize me, many have tried, all have lost there sanity trying to peirce together just how in the hell my tangled psyche manages to function

You must be rather like me then, only I created a coherent avatar of myself to at least look "normal"

Anyway Normal is boring.

@Mio: Tragic? How so? All the episodes are completely predictable if not from the synopsis then from the first few minutes. But they're still lots of fun to watch. They're like Pixar films in this sense.

And time travel is awesome

Studio B, under Lauren's God-Empress wisdom, made the story interesting rather than try fruitlessly at originality.

@storyyeller How much longer do we need to go until TV Tropes can count us as a work?

@Bad And that was when Rawk Hawk decided to try for the Glitz Pit.

Hey yall.

I reckon we're long enough at least for a Just for Fun page

Also, I need more pony. Good thing this March 9 looks to be launch day for the Happy Meal pony merch. Time to farm :D

O hai L Mage.

@Ace of Scarabs: No one is truly "normal". We all create our facades for facing life's hardships.

@gingerale: It will be tragic in the sense that it sounds like we are going to see Twilight go nuts again, even if it is probably not going to be as bad as Lesson Zero. I just really haven't been enjoying how this season has been handling Twilight's character.

Just saw the episode. And it. Was. GLORIOUS.

Yessss, let the hate and anger flow through you, Assertishy! Reveeeeelll in it! And the rhyming was pretty funny, likewise.

And Iron Will was awesome. Was nice to see they didn't have to chase him out, and took his defeat with grace.

Hello, L Mage

Did anyone else notice Hugh Jelly in one of the pictures Bad posted?

Morning guys. How are things here?

Hey Light, the thread's picking up the pace. Still curious to see more Rarity/Pinkie dynamic.

O hai L Mage and Light.

@ Crowlover: I noticed him.

Hugh Jelly is Derpy's ex Very Special Somepony.

Hello Light, I don't think you were around, so I'll say it. Last week, you posted the 2nd most of anyone.

Hugh Jelly is Derpy's brother, who has a fondness for jelly unmatched by anypony in Equestria

Whoa, seriously? That's pretty awesome!

Ok, the ep was far more difficult to watch than it should have been. Silly life, I'm watching ponies!

First things, Angel was a dick this ep XD Actually, lots of ponies were dicks this ep as well.

Iron will has an impressivly high teck level.

Acertiveshy was scary. and more random agressive than acertive. Who knew that level of rage was in her? (Oh right, the Gala) Also, she was scarily reminisant of discorded FS.

I'm Impressed that FS managed to solve this more or less herself though. She just needed to see herself after yelling at her freinds to see what she was doing wrong.

I wonder if Acertiveshy will be referenced in later eps?

Some of the references that you may have missed in the latest episode. For example the goats were of a species that originated on Crete, the birthplace of the Minotaur.

And for people who just want gifs of Iron Will doing things, here's one.

And for people who want to see Twilight eating a book.

Fluttershy does not like what she sees in that second link....

@Bad

Twilight would never destroy a book that way! (unless she reverts to Lesson Zero insanity)

@ L Mage: But she hungers for knowledge. Literally. Don't judge her.
