New Witchcraft episode is SO GOOD. They have really mastered the humor by this point.

I like their chicken nuggets. :( And I don't know if they still sell them separately. Suppose I could ask though.

Yeah... In Malaysia, you can just buy them straight away without getting the happy meal. They even.... deliver the toys via home delivery, provided you actually order some food to go with it like a burger or something, not necessarily a happy meal.

They won't let you buy just the toy, unfortunately. I checked. :(

You can however ask for specific toys if they have them in stock once you purchase the meal. No more Flutershys for me!! :D

Oh hey, that's that somepony. Well I would, but I already opened a Fluttershy, and the ones I'm collecting are all in the packages so trading the sealed one would be... counterproductive. If yours is open too, then sure.

I actually got a response on the issue about the audio sync problem.

The time frame for sending my original email was about 4 days ago.

Here's their reply:

Hi,

Thank you for writing Shout! Factory customer service. We have received your request for a replacement disc for "The Friendship Express" along with your proof of purchase and have sent your disc out in the mail.

We apologize for any inconvenience and hope you enjoy the program.

Thanks!

So yeah, nice!

Anyways, here's what i did, send an email to [email protected] with a mailing address and a copy/scan of the receipt.

At a convention last night, I won a Lily Blossom by correctly answering a question about Derpy that no one else in the room knew.

...I'm not weird because I knew Derpy's voiced was based off a neighbor boy of Tabitha, am I? >_>

Furious Fura has the best music taste.

Decent ep. Moral was one of the stronger ones (I'm surprised the show hasn't made the who-I-am not what-I-am lesson before), but the jokes and pacing were a little off.

So how many more eps to go this season? And any more breaks?

Rarity standing for, AND shooting down Spike. Nice. Identity Crisis. Ooh, more worldbuilding. Aww yeah Twilight. lol of course. What's the donkey doing all the way out here? Are those Phoenixes? Of course they're jerks. Uh oh, shouldn't have dissed Celestia. XD the real dragon. Belly Flop, ouch. Oh, they are Phoenixes. I can see why Trollestia chose a Phoenix as a pet. Whoa Rarity. What, no Spike and Rarity pic? Oh great, another bird joins the family.

Holy ****, that was incredible! Back-story and character development in MY Little Pony? Never thought I'd see the day...

I hereby take back every single mean and nasty thing I have ever said about Spike. Owl's Well That Ends Well was the worst episode of the entire show, and I basically liked Secret of My Excess in spite of his character rather than because of it... so I was really reluctant to get excited about this episode. I was wrong, wrong, wrong! CHARACTER SALVAGED, BRAVO TEAM.

Wtf was up with having Fluttershy's voice announce the dragon migration when she had clearly left the scene and was nowhere to be found?

Ep watched.

It was good. Not great, but good and I can't really put my finger on why it wasn't great. We got some good development from Spike, continuity shout out with Assertiveshy nopony was excessively annoying, there was some great humor, I love the whole quest theme, the existence of wild phoenix and hundreds of other dragons was confirmed, the crisis was resolved in a reasonable manner (let's be honest, 3 ponies and a baby could not fight off 3-5 adolescent dragons) and the moral really hit home. It had all the elements to be great, but kind of fell flat.

7.5/10

Twilight's getting very talented at magic. Looks like she had some trouble teleporting multiple subjects at once, but she'll probably be doing it with ease by the end of this season.

Wait a minute, what's this?

A Spike episode?

And it wasn't completely f***ing awful?

~~~MIND BLOWN~~~

Yeah okay seriously though, this episode was pretty much a slam dunk all the way. Good jokes, funny character interaction, plot was an interesting change of pace, and even the character development and the moral was pretty reasonable. Pretty much salvaged Spike's character for me too, after Owl's Well that Ends Well was such an atrocious episode.

Let's just never speak of Owl's Well that Ends Well ever again.

I've already started skipping almost every vocal music entry, but I still make a point to always listen to the music (and drawfriend and comics and nightly roundup), but this is a little much...

What's with the Owl's Well that Ends Well hate?

Just add it to the list of fail things with this board.

Okay, Chief, take 'em away. I'm gonna go home and sleep with my wife. ~ Mr. Green
Enjoy the silence.

It had some good jokes, but it was surrounded by some of the best episodes ever, so no one liked it.

The Quills & Sofas joke is still one of my favorites, though, as well as the quiche.

I think I agree with GS here. Somehow the episode was less than the sum of its parts, which was a shame as it should have been one of the top three episodes.

Actually, I think this is an ep that suffered from too much in its timeframe. It ought to have been a two-parter, as there was plenty more material that could be explored, and it would have made for better pacing.

This isn't 1950. Girls develop way later than they used to because human lifespans have increased - Lavos_Fanboy

Hey that's exactly how I felt though I didn't mention it. A 2-parter would've been perfect for this since I felt they kind of rushed it toward the end. It started off so good, then the resolution is kind of thrown at you. Not that Twilight hax is anything unbelievable, but it could've been handled better.

... you know, now that i think about it, is Twilight having problems with her power a foreshadowing for later on?

--
Aww, I lost to SuperNiceDog, Winner of the Rivalry Rumble Guru Contest

I saw it as her undertaking a task that was too much for her. She's used to teleporting herself and herself alone. I think she's teleported herself + Spike in a random burst of magical energy before, but she's definitely never had to teleport herself + Spike + 2 other ponies while running and under pressure. The fact that she could do it in two tries with no other practice is telling of her propensity to learn magic. It's no surprise she got winded after doing so.

Imo

I think the 2-parter thing is something that the show has been doing a lot lately. It goes for these really epic plots, and the 22 minutes just isn't enough to do it justice. The best episodes, imo, are the ones that seem super simple and easy, but turn out epic.
Suited for Success - Rarity makes dresses for the mane 6
May the Best Pet Win - RD finds a pet
Lesson Zero - Twilight is late with her letter
They could be done in way less than 22 minutes, but there was much more to the story than just the surface, so they turned out really awesome.

That's not to say that the "epic" plots can't be done well, either. Megan McCarthy single-handedly proves that they can be done in 1 episode. Winter Wrap Up, Cutie Mark Chronicles, Hearth's Warming are some good examples too.

Met the rather awesome Ashleigh Ball at the Charlottetown Hey Ocean concert last night (if you haven't heard Hey Ocean live, by the way, you haven't heard Hey Ocean. Their on-stage camaraderie and charisma make for a pretty spectacular show).

Asked her to scribble whatever she deemed appropriate onto the shirt I was wearing, and she did just that.
