Nah. I sometimes find myself looking at some of the gory pics. I hate looking at them but it's hard to look away.

I really liked the new episode. This season has actually had some good CMC shenanigans, which is cool. Those characters are less annoying now.

Topic was pretty good, and they handled it well. And as someone who wrote for a newspaper in college, I liked the general plot. Course, I had to abide by a professor who graded my articles, so that was a bit different :p

Lots of lulz to be had. I loved that AJ and Big Mac switched rolls, and there were a lot of continuity nods in this one. Hell, even Trixie was mentioned!

I thought of a simple explanation about how their society doesn't have a declining population even with the colt to mare ratio being 2:1 or 3:1. Longer life spans. Also they said winter wrap-up is a tradition for hundreds of years. If they live far longer than us that would allow for far more kids in the long run and granny smith's story to be accurate. That means however granny smith is VERY old though.

I just finished up another fanfic called D-I-V-O-R-C-E. Yeah it's semi-shipping, but it does accurately describe what would happen if Dash became a wonderbolt. She'd have to chose between her dreams and her friends. It's a really good story cause it doesn't paint one side as a terrible point, but shows that both sides of the argument have good points.

There's also a good moral lesson too. Just cause you don't fulfill your dreams doesn't mean you are a failure or will never find happiness.

Well, granny smith DOES look like she is the oldest "mortal" character (i.e. Celestia, Luna and so on excluded). And the presence of medical-cutie-mark unicorns would implie longer lifespans, since you wouldn't have to die of anything they can cure.

And 2 mares can live together and have foals, if they have a surrogate-colt to "make" those foals. (and why we havent seen a foal with 2 moms? Lets just imagine what would happen if Hasbro implied gay-marriage in a childrens show whitin reach of ppl like Santorum)

But on the subject, the potential shit storm would be large enough that it would cause the show to be canceled. So yeah it's for the best that they didn't.

23. Ponyville Confidential:
Holy budget rise, Batman! I demand to know who directed and screenwrote this episode! I was so busy paying attention to its technical values that I almost forgot to enjoy it.
Swift and quick to the point, and also entertaining with a great deal of continuity nods; the fans must've forgiven the CMC by now, it's undeniable that all their episodes this season have been quality material. One of the advantages of working with a worn-old plot is that you can always find ways to spice it up or explore a few issues of the formula and as predictable as this episode was, I liked how it got around showing everyone's points of view in quick strokes. It was quick-paced, but not rushed.

And after this episode, no one should wonder why Rarity is best pony.

A lot of people were worried in between seasons 1 and 2 after learning that faust was leaving, but as of late even though she left the rest of the staff has high enough quality control and works well enough together that even without her they can still pump out a good episode like ponyville confidential. Even though faust has left I don't doubt that season 3 will be at least as good as season 2 going by the last few episodes.

Tl:dr; Ponyville confidential was a good episode and I can't wait until season three cause I know it's going to be good as well.

Story editor Rob Rezetti (sp?) is gone too, so I'm a bit worried about that. But in general I think Faust's show bible is apparently complex enough that they may just about have to defy it to ruin the characters. It's a totally character-driven show, so if it goes downhill, I'm still pretty confident it will still be easily good enough that we will still be entertained. Still.

They'd have to make a deliberate and intentional attempt at ruining the show for season 3 to be bad.
P.s. is there any online copies of faust's show "bible" for the show?

Do you think people dislike bronies because we watch a children's show, or because the show's primary audience is girls? I was reading a long essay on Kotaku today that talked about gender stereotypes, marketing, pink t shirts, and other random shit that all came together in some cohesive manor. Got me a thinkin.

Best song in the entire show, period.
I vehemently disagree

I'd say both.
Society's role is to standardize morals and societal behavior and for the longest time people had the mentality of "Men work and watch nascar" "Women stay home and raise children and cook dinner". Kids are across the board raised into these gender roles that many people think these gender and societal standards are inherent instead of learned behavior.
