A Scootaloo episode is next.
I'm already wondering... Will they make a Freddy joke? ;)

I'm really,  really looking forward to this episode.  There is so little explanation for scootaloo... I've been excited to see an episode dedicated to her.  I wouldn't say i particularly like her?  It's just that there's no explanation at all where she came from or what she's doing in ponyville... Or why she's disabled.

Hopefully we'll get at least a small amount of information on her or her family this go-around.

You know, I really like the fact that shows now give out a list of of upcoming episodes. Was it SGU that started that? (:
 Depending on the title, the more I want to watch certain episodes. Like, "A Good Man Goes to War" that was a good title.

Strange, no build up to this episode. The Hub hasn't posted anything. Hmm...

Definitely. It was a very heartwarming episode for sure. Probably one that I'll be able to watch any time I really just want to get a huge smile on my face and just feel all warm inside. It featured my favorite two ponies (AJ/RD), and was a pretty solid CMC episode as well. Did we just have a CMC episode with no mention of cutie marks?

I hope that they might bring Scoots in a bit more, particularly with creating a little more dynamic between her an RD. I've always liked that story line. Who doesn't have a hero that they'ed love to meet and hang out with? And the dream would be to become lifelong friends with that person so you could hang out whenever.

The one thing that I found a bit interesting, particularly in it's subtlety, was the development shown in the relationship between Rarity and Sweetie Belle. Rarity first going along with the whole camping idea, with a little persuasion of course, and then Sweetie Belle seemed to be mostly okay with everything that bringing Rarity along entailed. It seemed like she kinda expected it and didn't let it bother her.

Two strong episodes in a row. If we keep getting stuff of this quality, I don't care if the seasons are only 13 episodes long.

I like the episode as well. It was heart warming. I thinking maybe at some point one them will get their cutie mark.

Hmm... That's anime standard. Well, Japan's broadcast season length.
It's perfect for DVDs sets. Wish we used it instead of 26-30.
Luna was a surprise. :o

That was an incredibly awesome episode. Reaches the heights of season 2 for me. Best episode of this season by far certainly, with Too Many Pinkie Pies following shortly after.
Understanding leads to empathy,
Empathy leads to admiration,
Admiration leads to love

Optimism leads to disappointment,
Pessimism leads to joy,
although, with optimism you are happy almost all the time,
and pessimism you are sad almost all the time.

Where's the line between being bored and generally too lazy to do anything? :p

Also a good episode for me. Seeing them bring in Luna was a very awesome suprise in how they did it, but I kept expecting Scoots (I love the nickname now :D ) to have her skateboard back for a third time at the end of the show. She lost it once and it's suddenly back again? I could drive my truck through a plot hole that big. LOL.

Bronyville has been suggesting the more likely reason is that puts them at the usual magic number of total episodes before a show typically goes into syndication. So it's possible the end of this season opens them up to airing on other channels, but also leaves us wondering if they will have another short "Spring" season, essentially keeping the same time frame as a full 26 episode season.

BTW, I'm not a huge Rarity fan, but that outfit she had on for the hiking/camping....  :-[
So adorable.

-snickers- You said plot :D :D!


This episode in general was..very very strong, a little dark, and LUNA! The animation was awesome, there was some serious Rainbow Dash development, and must have been a goldmine for shipfic writers :P!

It also brought up a question I've had for a long time.

Why don't Unicorns just fly!?

Also, WHY ARE THEIR SLEEPING BAGS HUMAN-SIZED?
