Episode idea: Scootaloo goes to flight camp, gets all excited because both Fluttershy and Rainbow got their cutie marks there. After a long uphill struggle, Scootaloo finally succeeds and learns how to fly... and still doesn't get her cutie mark. Predicable aesop, blah blah...

Kind of a cruel episode, but at least she'd finally be able to fly.

Another pagetopper, I'm on a roll. Here's another of those thing's CDWR:

Oh wait, she didn't.
It happened offscreen. Obviously.

I'm just joking about that Bad Wolf. . .mostly.

By the way Ginger, I'm going to start watching Code Geass R2 in a bit. Is there anything that you think I should be leery of?

@Mio: Just know that, because of Executive Meddling, the first 10 episodes or so basically rehash the prior season. There's still good stuff in there though, and important stuff, so I don't recommend skipping it.

@Mio Don't get confused by the first episode. It all gets explained. Just go with it. [lol]

@Blue, and Ginger: I heard about that. Is the first part really that hard of a slog?

Whenever I imagine Scoots learning to fly, I always imagine her being like this at some point [lol]

@Mio What? No, not really. I think the first part is pretty good myself. Schneizel doesn't start becoming prominent till episode 9 or 10 though (not that you'd care about that tongue)

Really? The distances didn't seem too bad to me.

No what I meant is that the mapmakers just tried to put the relative locations of important points on without being concerned with accurately mesauring distances. It's like a train map where the stations are evenly spaced.

@Mio:No, I enjoyed the entirety of R2 very much. It's only in retrospect that it seems a bit disappointing, because they had really good ideas for the show that got overruled. I honestly don't understand the hate for R2, I consider the whole show to be of pretty much equal quality.

Also, Lelouch randomly discovers Shining Armor, his long lost brother who was totally there the whole time.

I still don't see why everyone prefered the Emperor to Schneizel. The Emperor was lame.

@ginger: Well I should hope he gets prominent. He shows up in the first season and has some foreshadowing but then doesn't really get to do much.

@Blue: Alrighty then. I'm off to watch it now. I'll report back when I stop.

EMPEROR WAKAMOTO IS THE VERY OPPOSITE OF LAME!!! I AM HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED IN YOU GINGER!!

Schniezal makes a better main villain, but come on, Charles has presence like no other guy. He can give a damn fine speech, too.

Yeah Schneizel was really cool guy. He said only 'radda radda' and doesn't afraid of anything.
Because he know I'm going to go out in this plane and I'm going to remove one of His creations from His universe.

@Blue Well, yeah, he gave great speeches, but I was always expecting him to do stuff.

He gets like 2 completely awesome moments. One when he reveals that he's invincible to Lelouch and another when he Hijacks the UFN formation broadcast to declare war on it, revealing that he wasn't trapped forever like Lelouch hoped (Lelouch expressions during both were PRICELESS.)

ANYONE who makes Lelouch's life hell is a hero of mine [lol]

Berry Punch and Carrot Top are best friends?

Also, ALL HAIL EMPEROR WAKAMOTO!

It's kind of sad (yet very predictable) that you hate Lelouch so much. He's pretty much one of my favorite characters of all time.

[up] Don't the background ponies just get thrown together randomly all the time?

By the way, did anyone else notice how similar the premises of Death Note and Code Geass are?

I think the animators said something about placing certain background ponies together all the time was because their colors contrasted well.

@Storyyeller:They're not similar at all, are you trolling?

@Blue I don't hate him as much as I did, but when you have a smart protagonist, the moments that make me feel the most satisfied are ALWAYS the parts where he's outmaneuvered or outsmarted, or blindsided. Especially when they're as smug and overconfident as he is.

e.g. Lelouch, Light Yagami, Tyrion Lannister, Daenerys, Akiyama (though he STILL hasn't been blindsided and it's pissing me off)
