you know........was this the writers picking up on the Fridge Horror of Dragon lifespan/Pony lifespan and giving him a companion that will live as long as him?

So, is Twi an aunt to Peewee now?

My first instinct would be to say 'Grandma', actually.

The current bingo card! It seems unlikely we will get a line judging from the episode synopsises left, unless Celestria is the one who eats the cake on the train or something...

@ Chada: Why not?

@ Seraph: Yay, Spike has a companion to outlive everypony with.

@Sera: Prolly.

So, Twi is now aunt to Peewee, and Celly is now grandma to 'em, and Philo is goduncle?

@Space Jawa: Celestia raised Spike first, so Twi-Spike dynamic is more of siblings than mother and child.

On the whole, I wasn't very impressed with this episode. Very standard. The ponies posing as a dragon had some good gags, but for the rest, there wasn't really much to see here.

nah, Twi and Spike are more like siblings, thought with Twi being an older sibling that basicly raised the younger one, so yeah I'd go with aunt.

Actually Jteeth, about that... those were teenagers he was palling around with after all. Some teens can be kind of jerks. The few shots of the adult dragons sort of made it seem like they didn't care all that much for the shenanigans. I think if Spike had been brave enough to talk to a grown up, things may have been different.

Wow, so Crackle is the only dragon we get a name for.

So, judging by the toupee Cranky Doodle Donkey had in his cameo, this episode comes before "A Friend in Deed" chronologically?

So...what was in the letter from Celestia?

wild mass guessIt was a wedding invitation. The season finale will revolve around the cast trying to get there in time because they didn't know it was happening.wild mass guess

@Kegisak: I know, but between this, the fact that Spike has a natural predilection towards greed, and the fact that the adult dragons we've seen so far have been...abrasive at best, it doesn't exactly bode well. Might just be me overthinking it, though.

I enjoyed this episode a lot even if it wasn't an origin episode.

Dash and Fluttershy seem pretty close, don't they?
They are kind of childhood friends.

I was kinda half expecting Celestia to show up at the end.

"WHO'S BEEN DISRESPECTING ME!?"

@Teeth: Eh... you could still talk your way around a lot of the 'problems' with dragon hood - greed being growth hormones, Basil just being a bit cranky about being woken up... But I see your point. Hopefully we see an actually NICE dragon sometime. Though I rather sadly doubt it...

They did seem to give that letter a lot of attention.

List review, then I am gone. yadayada

Pro
  • Spike getting an episode.
  • Spike journeying by himself, and putting up with the dragon test. He's a tough little guy.
  • Rarity showing concern for Spike.
  • Seeing more dragons in Equestria.
  • Spiking dubbing his pony friends his family.
  • Pheonix's inhabiting a land. Now we know there is more than one.

Con
  • This show makes male characters look like heartless jerks.
  • The teen dragons were not the only dragons, why not find some who were nice to baby dragons?
  • Twilight, Rarity, and Rainbow gasping at the thought of Spike wanting to stay with his own kind. Really, when was the last episode they showed any attention toward him?
  • The handful of teen dragons made a bad impression, so it is likely Spike won't be shown around dragons again. Way to taint the species with such one-shot bad eggs.
  • Ponies continue not to know more about dragons due to their own fears.
Bunai is known to make spelling and grammar errors, but will attempt to correct them once realized.

Wait. A phoenix. In the library. This could be bad. Fire and paper don't mix.

is it weird that this episode made me wonder what it would have been like if my friends Original Character Ember was Canon? seeing how she's Spike's sister and half pony.

Celestia doesn't seem like the type to really care about stuff like that. At most she'd kinda smirk and just offhandedly do something epic while they squirm.

So, overall, I thought the episode was pretty dull. I really wish the teen dragons had a little more depth, but I'm hardly surprised they didn't, given the target audience for the show.
Gully Foyle is my name, and Terra is my nation. Deep space is my dwelling place, and death's my destination.

So, do the dragons know who Princess Celestia is? I forgot the line, but didn't the teen red dragon called Celestia a "pony princess?" If so, wouldn't this mean that the dragons live outside of Celestia's jurisdiction?

I liked this episode. Then again I like pretty much every episode outside of the season one two-parter.
