What would you say he is?

And Japenese Teeth, I liked your review.

I think he is pretty monstrous. I don't think he is a complete monster but he definitely fell down the moral event horizon

This episode holds the new record for the most instances of the phrase "My Little Ponies." Cheerile, Celestia and even Discord himself utter it at least once.

Speaking of records, did the broadcast premiere break any records? Like, I don't know, "largest ratings ever held by a show aimed at little girls?"

Joker-lite is what I'd call him. And by Joker I mean Mark Hamil Joker. You see, I love villains that absolutely love and enjoy everything they do. It's why despite many protests, I liked The Master in modern Doctor Who and why, even though he's technically more of an an anti-hero, why I love Q.
I analyze "Geek Culture" here.

When All Else Fails, worry, that's the 14 way.

I don't think he was quite harsh enough to qualify as mind rape. Mind-groping maybe.

Also now I feel the urge to go back and do these reviews for all the season one episodes. Even though I have a ton of other crap to do.

But it won't be your unsullied opinion! You'll have other's words running through your head!

Yeah, I agree - the knee-jerk placement of him as Complete Monster seemed a bit silly. Like I said earlier, I think you'd need a murder or two to qualify for that.

[up][up]Even that review had a day and a half of discussion behind it. It's not like I wrote it as I watched the episode. tongue

if you ask me it's pure brilliance that the show made us love all these girls in season one just to see them be destroyed in season two. Because in reality that's what friendship is something fragile and delicate easy to lose and destroy.

Well, it's obviously not going to be permanent. Chances are that they'll recover the Elements and kick Discord's behind in an epic fashion. It's only a question of how.

[up][up]I might, if I can find the time. Grad school and all. Glad to hear you enjoyed it, though.

Obviously, they'll defeat Discord and make up with each other by the end of the second episode, because this is a family, educational cartoon. But I do love how it shows you that friendships can be tested.

and once it's tested no longer do any right to repair the friendship, all you can do is watch it crumble around you just like twilight will

[up][up]That's why I like this pilot more than the one from Season 1. Nightmare Moon seemed too easy to defeat. There's more challenge here.

[up]I...have no idea what that means.

it means the friendship is doomed the other girls will never be released from their corruption and twilight will wallow in heartbreak for the rest of her life

^^^Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's exactly what's not going to happen, because friendship isn't about how well you get along, it's about how well you make up after a fight or a disagreement.

but that's the point they'll fail. The show is teaching about friendship and ultimately the lesson everybody has to learn is how painful losing it is

[up]*5 I'm a tad disappointed he doesn't have one this week, but I'll be looking forward to what will no doubt be an amazing two-part writeup next week. smile
