Rarity didn't even have a reason. She just kinda went "No, fuck you" and shut the door xD

That's part of the point. Her reason was practically "Haha no, I do not want to".

Edit: If I ever made a blog, I'd write at least an a post on Rarity's character and how she's the best in the series in my opinion.

Some of his stuff is, some isn't. It's still entertaining though and I enjoy his animations.

I don't mind giving up a minute or two of my time to watch something that he worked hard on.

He really does work hard on that, considering how fast he makes them.

15. Super Speedy Cider 6000: dad says cider is pretty similar to champaigne, so I think that explains why they got away with it. Nice subversion of the "moral" of the day, and the musical number was pretty catchy, the only one so far that actually had me tapping along. The ending felt disappointingly rushed, but they'd have won in any case. Good, but not special.

I don't think it was rushed cause you could see the flim flam brothers turning off the quality control part of the machine and there was only one way that was going to go down.

Yeah, I know, which is why I said "felt". You know, they could've been dispatched in a funnier or less quick way. It's pretty clear they're not honest businessmen, but... that deserved a two parter, perhaps because I actually got to liking the brothers. You've got to admit it, they're exemplary capitalists: family business, excelent marketing, destroying the competence, and sacrificing the quality and still expecting to get something out of it. I generally feel disappointed when an antagonist I like is disposed of quickly and predictable and obvious ways. Say, it'd have been nicer if they hadn't actually bothered to show rhe result of the brother's rush right away and instead kept them calmly vacuuming trees.

16. Read it and weep it: favorite parts in this episode:
-The insane pony who barked.
-RD swallowing her pride yet again.
-RD: "Who is this dude?!". Seriously, I thought that too.

That said, I'd have loved if Dare-Do's adventures had been played in a more straight forward over-the-top way, but then Twilight wouldn't have recommended the book in the first place. They're popcorn literature, so at least some more humor would've been quite appreciated. Otherwise, rather bland episode with a bit of wasted potential.

I'm actually starting to feel sorry for rainbow dash cause the majority of the episodes about her end with her ego being crushed again, even when she isn't being boastful or such.

Haha, and Rarity and Pinkie get away with their antics instead.

On the other hand, the last two episodes so far are right there in the "pretty good" ally:

17. Hearts and Hooves Day: Absolutely hiarious. One of the things I like about the show is its execution: old tired plots given life by fun characters, good humour and ocassionally clever writing and this episode delivered that in spades. The comedy was over-the-top, the poison's effects on Big Mac and Cheerilee were sickening in the best way possible (meaning that you actually laugh at how sickening they are), the CMC being shippers on crack and paying for it until the very end, even the dialogue was good*. Probably one the series's best comical episodes, and that's how every Valentine's Day-themed episode should be.

*"My brother's acting like an A-grade goofball!".


18. A friend in deed: the second season has been rife with new directorial techniques and perspectives for the show: other angles, more locations, a clearer understanding (if not utterly bizarre at times) of how the ponies' world woks, other expressions and now, fun with structure* and more metahumour from the series's most meta character. It was a sweet episode, and the bits of continuity from the rest of the season were a nice touch, as was seeing the other issues that stem from Pinkie's happy-go-lucky self while also giving her the benefit of the doubt. Nice, pretty damn nice.

*Though a little akwardly introduced, the bits with the "yarn" and the map were great.

Did you notice how much better the animation is with season 2 compared to season 1 as well?

Smile made it apparent how much higher the quality of animation is.

I do. It's not the length that bothers me, it's that they're consistently bad. I wish he'd take more time to come with real jokes.

Re: What is with all of this "My little pony" stuff?

This seems to be the key question for every thread spawned with this topic.

9/10, the answer is no.

After this being the third time that "Bronies" had come up in one day, I decided to give it a try.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6gAMXULZyw <=== Provided this is the first episode, I can say, WITHOUT A DOUBT, that I am NOT a brony.

The only part that was mildly humorous was Fluttershy. She got a few chuckles out of me. Other than that, it was a waste of 22 minutes of my life :|

Unless it gets better than that, which I'm doubting it does (since the Pilot episode of a series is usually the best / a pre-telling of what the show actually will be)... yeah... No thanks.

TBH I probably would have liked it a lot more if 95% of the episode wasn't predictable. I pretty much knew every single thing that was going to happen before it happened (Except for Fluttershy).

So yeah, enjoy your pony stuff guys, it's not my cup of tea.

Obligatory reply: "That's the usual answer after the first two episodes".
Here, we have a "challenge of five", meaning that if you don't like anything that comes after episode 5, then you definitely aren't a brony. To each their own, though.

Yeah pretty much this.

The first episode I watched was part 1 of the pilot as well, and I didn't like it that much. I came back and watched another episode a few weeks later and became a brony after that.

Same here. Personally, I didn't become an actual fan until I saw Swarm of the Centhury. That's when it went from "nice", to "NEXT!".

In all fairness the pilot(in this case the first two episodes) was among the least favorite episodes of any brony.
I'd be like trying to get someone into star wars and then they watch the christmas special.

Really? I've always found pilot episodes of shows to suck. Not terribly, but they are the risky attempts to see what works and what doesn't. The Simpsons wouldve ended long ago if it maintained how it was in it's pilot episode.

There's also the issue that pilots have to condense introductions and exposition into very limited time constraints. They give you a basic idea of the show, but are forced to do a shitty and rushed-feeling job of it. If you're judging any show by it's pilot, I don't know what to tell you, whether it's good or bad, the next episode is not gonna be the same.

It took me over 5 episodes to become a fan, although I was starting to become one a little before 5 episodes.

Pilot episodes are usually kinda sucktastic, and this is no different. Usually pilots do one thing: introduce the characters, setting, and plot. And the show's starting out, they're trying things, seeing what works and what doesn't. Most bronies admit that the first episodes aren't that great and are cliche.

A great example of this is Star Trek. TNG's pilot is corny as hell, and the first season has the worst acting and plots ever. If you show someone an episode from then, they might hate it. But the series got good fast, and the seventh season is one of the best ever, with deep rich plots and great characters, because they had experience and KNEW what to do right. Same goes with DS9, which started out slow before it went into a war theme, and every fan will tell you the last few seasons were the best. Even Voyager started out shitty and got somewhat better near the end.

And that is why bronies say give it five episodes.
