MLP:FiM Megathread: Does anyone even watch this show anymore edition

[NeoCracker]

I will say this is probably the worst episode of the season.

1) I don't like the CMC anyway.
2) It seemed out of character for any of the main six to be so in support of a gossip collum such as this. Especially Rarity, who is in a line of work that tends to have bad gossip about it.
3) They never seem to make a distinction between gossip and stories about people.
4) No way in hell anyone is going to be interested in a schools gossip coll um.

There were a couple saving graces to this episode, the best one being 'et tu sweetie belle?'. Lost my trout on that line.

I have to agree with Neo on this latest episode. Not the best episode for this season.

[Hollycat]

It made me ashamed of scootaloo for the first time. Also they made Fluttershy cry.

[[M] Mom – Host]

Aww

[NeoCracker]

Fluttershy having tail extensions did amuse me though.

Though the Idea that it is something even worth being embarrassed that other people find it out silly.

Opened my last blindbag a little while ago.

Not sure how to feel about this. On the one hand, it has an accurate cutie mark, and the correct coloring. On the other hand, it does not resemble fluttershy. On the original hand, it's Fluttershy.

That Dr Who animation was excelent

Also, new episode. I think I enjoyed this one too, so it looks like this show can deliver the goods for the most part. I detected an error at the end - look for me in the comments to discover what...

EDIT: Oh sorry, a lot of posts came up while I was uploading this reply, sorry guys. Still liked it to some extent though.

So what, do you guys have ass burgers then? Mine ended up on my chest.

A tingling in my nipples suggests that this is a contradictory statement! IS IT FLUTTERSHY, OR IS IT NOT.

3) They never seem to make a distinction between gossip and stories about people.

I think they kind of did, but they didn't force it on us. If that makes sense. I do agree on point 4 though, but I guess they just needed to go along with that to make the episode work (they could have made it so they older ponies don't realize it's a school paper, or something) and probably 2 as well.

Like I say, I did enjoy this episode, but mostly for the humor and the references Not the best CMC episode, but not the worst in my mind either.

The one pony who was running it, however, made it clear she wanted more stuff like the gum thing that was their first issue.

I'm not talking like the story they wanted to do on spike that got rejected, but just random stories about things people had done in public eye. There is a big difference in publishing a story about kids acting up in a store, and publishing someones diary entries. This episode tried to make them sound like the same thing.

Add diamond Tiara to a list of ponies I don't like.

[GhandiOwnsYou]

Diamond Tiara serves no purpose except to be disliked.

I dunno, I'm gonna have to buck the trend and say I thought this episode was pretty awesome. The lesson was vague and muddled, I'll openly support that complaint. The moral itself was a little off because they never went into the difference between gossip, news and invasion of privacy. For me though, the moment to moment one liners, facial expressions and wtf moments totally made up for any shortcomings. SpoilersesesBig Mac and Applejack swapping speech patterns when they got pissed was classic. Celestia stuffing her face? Rarity's several violent declarations? Twilight throwing up a forcefield out of spite? Poor little Scoots only able to hover her flank? It was pretty much wall to wall hilarity for me.

[NeoCracker]

I agree with some of those, but I disagree with (SPOILER)Big Mac. It was pretty funny when AJ was just doing the 'Eyup' thing, and while I awaited Big Mac, it just felt awkward coming from him. It was no where near up to snuff with his other long dialogue with AJ for the whole Applebuck season thing.

The force-field was entertaining though.
