My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

[Reply #600 on:]

Maybe I'll enjoy them more if I see the episodes around them.   Though some of the painful rhymes in Crystal Ponies are too painful, even for me.  

Ewes rhymes with hues!

I quite like the Crystal Ponies song, but only after listening to a nice remix of it. Works surprisingly well as a dance track.

Going to be interesting to see what the hell they do with the animation for the crystal ponies in that episode, considering that Hasbro's crystal pony toys are translucent and filled with glitter.

Something similar to what they did with the Ursa Major and Minor could look really cool though, so there is that precedent.

Rarity, that flag was almost solid purple. That's not "many hues."

[Reply #602 on:]

She's probably one of those sorts who can see more colours than most people.

[Reply #603 on:]

For me it was Ponies and History.   That line just makes me cringe.  On the other hand I liked it better then other S3 song they showed, because I genuinely can't remember anything about it, so I guess it didn't make a very big impression on me.

Maybe she's like Fry, and can taste purple as well. 

I was wondering if the Crystal Ponies would be equine golems made of crystals, but since Cadance is mentioned in the song, I'm guessing they're just alicorns who happen to live in crystal houses.

[Reply #604 on:]

"Ponies" wasn't rhymed with anything. The refrain was of an ABCB pattern, with "history" rhyming with "make them see." Observe how it still works if the third line is changed:

We have to make this right,
Yes we have to make them see,
We can save the crystal humans
With their history.

Also, I doubt the crystal ponies are all alicorns. My current envisioning of them has them very much resembling earth ponies, except for their very disconcerting eyes which have no pupils, only sparkling crystal.

My mind is very odd sometimes.

Failure/Success song. And a rememberable(sp?) feature is that Spike sang for the first time.

[Reply #606 on:]

The most memorable feature of that song is that Twilight's mane was the star.

I really like her mane!

[Reply #607 on:]

That's great, but do you have to keep chewing on it all the time?

[Reply #608 on:]

"See" and "historee" is still pretty bad in my book.

I imagine they will all be unicorns or pegasusi of some kind.  Alicorns are treated as the hot shit amongst pony species, so I guess having so many running or flapping about will make Luna and Celestia less speshul.

[Reply #609 on:]

I don't get what makes it so bad. "Make them see" and "history" rhyme nearly perfect. I could understand if the syllables didn't match -- say, if it had been a one or two syllable formation that had been rhymed with a three syllable word. But it wasn't, it was three syllables with three syllables: "make them see" and "his-tor-y."

Also, nah. I'm calling it now, crystal ponies are going to most closely resemble earth ponies.

* Xanfor continues chewing Twilight's mane.

And after meeting them everyone will have a craving for sugary drinks and episodes of Malcom in the Middle...

[Reply #611 on:]

My favourite episode is when that insane family next door moves in.  The one where that creepy brat keeps biting Reese.

No, best episode of Malcolm In The Middle is the Bowling one.

[Reply #613 on:]

I feel too sorry for Malcom in that one.  Maybe because I can relate to parts of that episode all too well.

[Reply #614 on:]

...
Well, I'm bored

[Reply #615 on:]

When does season 3 start?

[Reply #616 on:]

The current rumor is late September. No official word yet, I believe.

However, season one is being released on DVD in December.

[Reply #617 on:]

But 'late September' is less than three weeks away. Surely the Hub begins advertising the new season of a show further out than that.

[Reply #618 on:]

According to IMDB the first ep of season 3 is in October.

[Reply #619 on:]

IMDB, that renowned and well-trusted pillar of 100% accuracy famed throughout the entire internet for its never-being-wrongness.

[Reply #620 on:]

xD lol, I'm just saying what it said, never said it was accurate, just according to IMBD

[Reply #621 on:]

^ Ooh, good point. That is technically accurate! The best kind of accurate.

I'm really liking this currently:

October? But…

[Reply #623 on:]

The Countdown to Season 3...Countdown... start's now!

[Reply #624 on:]

By less than 30 days I hope they don't mean 29 days xD

[Reply #625 on:]

Still no season 3 release date?  

Oh well, for those who couldn't make it to Canterlot Gardens (the convention) here's what you're missing out on.

[Reply #626 on:]

Good GOD, just when I thought SherclopPones couldn't get any better!

[Reply #627 on:]

  Still no season 3 release date?   

But at least we have a release month now. 

[Reply #628 on:]

Good timing for the run-up to christmas.

[Reply #629 on:]

The Great and Powerful Bender!


John Dimaggio did pony voices at Canterlot Gardens... man, I would have loved to have to have been there. Pure awesome.  

[Reply #630 on:]

Good GOD, just when I thought SherclopPones couldn't get any better!

All-too-brief acceptance by your colleagues, at conventions!

I could relate to Spike the most, though.

[Reply #631 on:]

I should've went to Canterlot Gardens... it was only three hours away. Would've loved to meet Mr. DiMaggio. Maybe next year (if there is a next year)?

[Reply #632 on:]

There's a background pony staring at me from the shelf next to my computer. Judging me.

Say hi, Octavia!



I guess she doesn't want to talk.

New season three spoiler: Crystal Ponies

[Reply #635 on:]

But when? ...when? ...WHEN!?!?!

[Reply #636 on:]

But when? ...when? ...WHEN!?!?!

Somebody on the show (I think a voice actor) leaked that they are supposed to announce the announcement of the release date in the next thirty days. That was a week or two ago. So, we're waiting for the release date of the release date. I'd say sometime in November.

I was thinking in the shower earlier today about how much Twilight Sparkle worries about the backlash of crossing Princess Celestia. Granted, when I was a perfectionist like her, I was constantly worried about the repercussions of breaking the rules (permanent record?! I should've never left for the restroom without my teacher's permission!). But, it is a lot more fun for the fan community to think that Twilight was not really being a worry-wart and actually had legitimate concern for Celestia's powers. I know every time we see Celestia, she's as down-as-earth as an earth pony, but I do think it would be interesting if she were ever portrayed as malevolent and vengeful. I mean, when it came to foes like Discord and Queen Chrysalis, she was dead-shit serious and did not humor either of them (and, frankly, Discord's hilarious, and everypony else would've thought of him as such if it weren't for Celestia's first impression). I think Celestia may certainly have the tenacity to banish somebody to the Everfree Forest. So, PEELers, what do you think?

[Reply #637 on:]

She turns ponies to stone.

Nuff said.

[Reply #638 on:]

Did she use the Elements of Harmony to do that or was that all Celestia?

[Reply #639 on:]
