The CMC's voices seem to be a little older. I'm guessing this was probably deliberate. I approve.

Or it could be the VA's voices are 'growing up'. Which is, well, expected.Cardbo wrote:The CMC's voices seem to be a little older. I'm guessing this was probably deliberate. I approve.

It Ain't Easy Being Breezies
Commentaries!
Highlights!
- A role-reversal callback of everyone's favorite 'cheer' scene!
- Breezies! They speak in a silly gibberish language (though it sounds a bit at times like it's just a voice clip in reverse).
- Mariachi ponies are a thing, so that means Mexican ponies are as well.
- Rarity can replace Celestia as sun goddess, apparently.
- Butterfly effects! Literally. One leaf is enough to wreck them, how are they not extinct? Luckily, no screw-ups from Pinkie, just one from Spike (which is really hard to blame him for, considering how easy it is to set off).
- The Breezies are sassy as hell. They even play a mean sax!
- Breezie genders are hard to determine, apparently - Seabreeze is a happily married father!
- Dr. Whooves with 3D glasses, and Rose. Great reference.
- Flutterbee! Shakin' dat' stinger.
- Fluttershy gets her 'kindness' key/kindness realization! There's probably mane six color hints somewhere as well.
- Mane Six breezies! squeeeee.
- I can already see fanfics of the breezies being stuck in Equestria FOREVEEEER being furiously written. Or the Mane Six being stuck in Breezyland FOREVEEEER getting the same treatment. Or both.
- Transformation magic is a-okay! That never goes badly!
- Rainbow Dash confirmed for having cross-racial kinks and/or weird alien/griffon/dragon/transformation fetishes.
Commentaries!
- It's Ain't Easy Being Breezies:
- - Best pony gathering!
- Exposition, activate!
- You could say it will be a... breeze.
- "They're attention whores, therefore cheering is a necessity."
- Role reversal continuity switcheroo reference joke gag thing of the cheering! Very clever.
- You'd think the Mariachi ponies would be mules or donkeys, rather than ponies. That's because racism. Bastards.
- "I mean, as funny and awesome as it would be, that would make Fluttershy cry, and then ponies die."
- So, they're effectively the magical equivalent of a non-Newtonian liquid?
- "In other words, they're fucked without us."
- "BEHOLD MY FABULOUSITY!"
- Sequins! New word get.
- Fluttershy is mimicking Pinkie Pie's worst case scenarios now.
- "BOW DOWN TO THE GODDESS OF THE SUN!"
- Suddenly, adorables.
- No Pinkie nooooo!
- Pinkie combustions are no joke.
- YOU DUN GOOFED, SPIKE!
- Wait is a leaf seriously...?
- Shown: That guy in every disaster movie that explains why they can't do anything and why everyone's screwed.
- DRAMATIC TENSION!
- Butterfly pony to the rescue!
- Okay, now just fly them back to the breeze migration colony and...
- No Fluttershy what are you doing, put them back at the end of their conga line...
- Dammit Fluttershy, this could have been so easy.
- That Breezy sergeant is so sassy.
- Fluttershy, ACTION PONY!
- Okay. You dun goofed, Spike.
- And let the inevitable can't-let-go-obsessions begin.
- Those birds are creepy.
- Did that Breezy just try to murder the other by pushing it off?
- How is that mushroom Breezy carrying it on her head? It's heavier than her!
- Nano-knitting is not a problem for Fluttershy, it seems.
- No Breezies were harmed in the making of this episode. Or that's what they want you to think.
- "They invented the guillotine in their kingdom."
- Sassy swearing Breezie. Best pony.
- That's a 'he'?
- That is a good question, Sass-breezie. Ask the show writers. Alternately, assume your creator is an evil, cruel diety that wishes your suffering.
- Seabreeze is a natural raid-leader.
- Adorable noms!
- "OMG you scrubs, learn2breeze."
- Feels!
- Man, they're kinda dumb lazybugs, aren't they?
- Party in the Breezy!
- Sassy sax breezy!
- One more to add to the mortality rate.
- Doctor reference!
- Murder acorns!
- Murder bees!
- Did... Did Fluttershy just try seducing the bees?
- Activate murder stare!
- Morals time!
- Don't be bossy git, don't be a doormat to your workers.
- "GTFO, Breezies."
- More disaster technicalities!
- Spells fix everything, and they never backfire horrendously.
- Pinkie is open to experimentation.
- Dis gon be gud.
- "Are we tripping balls?"
- How long does this trip last? Didn't they have two days?
- Encouraging speech time!
- "Why is Seabreeze talking to us in that pony language?"
"Who cares, just smile and nod."
- Gasp!
- Damn squeaky voices needing transcripts.
- Go home and be a family Breezie!
- "My people need me!"
- Get in there, you ditz, before you get portal-dismembered.
- Restore status quo!
- Dash, this is not the time for your fetish fantasies.
- Especially the dragon ones!
- Foreshadowing - flower edition!

E-Nope. Can't say I liked this episode. Probably being a bit unreasonable, how do the Breezies exist as a species? Apparently they need to enter Equestria from their native lands on a regular basis, but they're so fragile that it makes even the civilized portions of Equestria a deathworld.
Even Butterflies. which the breezies seemed to based on, aren't that fragile.

Yep. Spike hasn't really developed, it seems like he's regressed in some ways. He's become more clumsy in seasons 3 and 4, for instance.

New episode!
Somepony to watch over me
Highlights!
- CMC/Applebloom don't set anything on fire, but there's still a fire swamp.
- Chimera! The tiger sounds male, but they're all female, it seems, just like the original. Evil sentients who crave sentient flesh! Also, the Chimaera will probably die of starvation/immolation, considering where they left her.
- Hillbilly/American ponies! Apparently, regular swamps are too wimpy for these ponies to live in.
- Applejack starting with silly, going into yandere/Pinkie Pie levels of crazy (including uncanny baby-proofing abilities), then suddenly switching into Ellen Ripley levels of awesome!
- Applebloom almost owning a Chimera!
- Fireproof boots. Hoooooo boy. We all know where that fashion accessory is going.
- Helmets!
- Applebloom and Applejack don't have unique accessories, it seems, but carefully stockpile the bunch.
Somepony to watch over me
- Somepony to watch over me - commentary:
- - Barns!
- Dramatic tension!
- Important decisions! Looks like Applebloom is getting new parents / disowned.
- "Slavery is nothing compared to what might lie in your future!"
- Military tension!
- SUCH TENSION!
- "Wait, I have to do chores? That sucks!"
- Such professionalism!
- Or not.
- That was extremely predictable.
- Dat music!
- Pie physics.
- Save the pies!
- "I make not promises about burning things, though."
- Not as hard as the route their parents took. Burn!
- "Hell yeah, I don't trust your arson instincts."
- "Stay out of granny's personal bedroom locker, or you will be... forever traumatized."
- Smile and nod.
- GTFO!
- And then she realized she didn't have videogames. And had chores.
- How do you bite nails when you've got hooves?
- Don't be a bitch to the bro, AJ.
- AJ are you fucking serious.
- Who's a silly pony?
- Well this can't end badly.
- Yay, arson chores!
- Unique hat/bow myth: BUSTED!
- "If I wanna be a schizo, I already am!"
- "MISSY ARE YOU DOING DRUGS? IT BETTER NOT BE DRUGS!"
- We all know this feeling.
- "Does that include money?"
"Hell no, family is worth only so much. You yourself are about 3000 bits."
- Society is to blame!
- "Not the spaghetti!"
- "Y'ALL's PRIVACY IS OVER!"
- "I learned many things from the Pink One."
- AJ is dangerously giddy about this whole situation.
- AJ are you serious.
- Why is AJ roping a tree?
- Oh, that's why.
- "Relinquish your independence, y'all."
- Okay, that was pretty impressive engineering and why wasn't it like that in the first place?
- Lies, she didn't baby-proof the lower door, or the painting.
- "Big sister and her helmet squad will ensure nothing ever hurts you. For eternity."
- Even a baby crib? She ain't Diamond Tiara.
- AJ, now that's creepy.
- "Of course, it's a cart! With pies!"
- Title drop!
- This is a good plan. Nothing can go wrong with this plan.
- Song!
- DENIED!
- And then she fell, confirming all of AJ's fears, and sending her to the hospital. AJ wound up watching over her every day, as she lay in a coma, until she could no longer afford to keep her on life support. With teary eyes, she finally let go, an act that broke her mind. The family farm soon went into disrepair from AJ's lack of sanity, and the family went into poverty.
- Oh wait, she was lucky. Or AJ is far more cunning than we thought.
- I wouldn't call it 'sass'.
- Sweetie Belle needs an adult.
- We're exiting 'silly pony' and entering 'Yandere' territory by now.
- Pictured: Sass.
- Scootaloo is not amused.
- Dangit Scootaloo, you had one job!
- My worry gives me super strength!
- I'm sure you're overreacting, silly pony.
- Wat.
- AJ, you cray cray.
- Ricotta, the most vital of traveling gear.
- Relax, how bad could it - oh.
- Maybe the swamp is friendly!
- Or maybe it wants to burn you. Luckily, fire knows its kind.
- Yeeeah, Applebloom's super dead.
- She talks!
- And she has a craving for sentient flesh.
- "Dissssssney'sss Jungle Book can kisssss my asssp!"
- A SHOW FOR LITTLE KIDS!
- Yeah, calling your actions isn't the smartest thing. Even if you do need to do it.
- Leave the pies you dumb kid!
- Well now you get eaten like a dumbass. Along with the pies.
- The fire protects its homies.
- Snake is a bigger dumbass, luckily.
- You'd have an easier time pulling it.
- Yes, stand there whilst the monster approaches.
- Oh bickering siblings are so silly.
- From silly to MOTHERBUCKING THIS in a few simple frames.
- Megapony slide!
- Activate chekhov's gun!
- That... Wasn't really that useful.
- Chairbots, unfold!
- Activate chekhov's gun #2!
- That... Was also kind of pointless.
- Okay, what was her plan here? To hope she gets snagged by the tail? Cause if she didn't, or she didn't dodge, she'd be dead now.
- Okay, that last one was just silly.
- ACTION PONIES!
- "There's your motherbucking cart."
- Morals get!
- "So, those things you're wearing..."
"I'll tell you when you're older."
- Americans! Or Cajuns, considering the accent?
- Pictured: Broken feeling.
- Do the Snoopy dance!
- "My hair is a mass of tentacles. Your pies are invalid."
- Morals get, strike two!
- And then nopony died. Except Chimera, who probably starves to death. Or is burned alive.
Highlights!
- CMC/Applebloom don't set anything on fire, but there's still a fire swamp.
- Chimera! The tiger sounds male, but they're all female, it seems, just like the original. Evil sentients who crave sentient flesh! Also, the Chimaera will probably die of starvation/immolation, considering where they left her.
- Hillbilly/American ponies! Apparently, regular swamps are too wimpy for these ponies to live in.

Fire swamp, but no R.O.U.S. Disappointing.
Also, proof positive that Applejack is related to Pinkie Pie.

- "We fear for our lives in her vicinity."
- The obvious answer would be to gain 200 pounds in weight.

Maud is best pony.
I nitpick I could see. If Rarity wanted to bond with Maud, they should've probably talked Geology, not Fashion. Rarity is a gem hunter, after all.

Good episode, though nothing stood out.
Pros: Princess Luna appears.
Cons: Nothing in particular.

For Whom the Sweetie Belle Tolls
Commentary!
My thoughts:
- Luna makes one hell of a shrink/employment interviewer/NSA agent.
- Even younger Sweetie Belle! Age 5 is now a thing.
- Sweetie Belle sort devolves into Diamond Tiara-level bratty behavior. The worst thing about this is that it's completely realistic. I dislike it, but can't really argue against it.
- Rarity is one disaster away from snapping like a twig.
- Dreams be trippy.
- Dolphins!
- RageBelle is adorable.

- "I can only remember things if frilly dresses are involved."
- Angry Belle: The beginning.
- Adorable angry Belle: The squeakening.
- That hat looks like it belongs in a museum. Or would curse you for wearing it.
- Rarity, it's probably a bad idea to put stitches on something while it's being worn by somepony else.
- Especially if it's on your friggin forehead.
- It's called a POS.
- Sweetie Belle is not amused.
- Sweetie Belle is in full teen angst mode.
- Oh snap, her voice! She's turning into Diamond Tiara!

- So long, and thanks for all the fish.
- Rarity has OCD. What a surprise.
- "I feel so negative."
- "It's Christmas carol time, bitch!"
- Sweetie Belle confirmed for changeling!
- Can't make those blood sacrifices without proper headwear.
- Sapphire Shore sounds like a sassy black woman.
- [insert Attack on Titans joke here]
- Yup, Sapphire Shore turned into Whoopi Goldberg.
- First came the OCD. Then the cats.
- How has Equestria not succumbed to villainy yet, consider how stupidly easy it is to mentally break the Mane Six?
- Welp, the world is doomed. Thanks, Sweetie Belle.
- The train company must be making a mint off of these pony emergency trips.

Re: Take these broken wings and learn to fly: S4 Pony Discussion (Screened episodes only)
New episode!
Leap of Faith
Highlights
- Predictable plot (not that the recent EW clip which spoiled the entire plot didn't help with that).
- Excellent (if predictable) moral.
- Song isn't very memorable, but is still pretty amusing.
- Flim & Flam get away without karma / being torn apart by a mob of freaks. Oh well!
- Equestria confirmed for many colorful, horrible, disgusting diseases, genetic disorders, and invalids/cripples! The fanfic writers will be all over this episode.
- Cherry Berry and Coco Crusoe now suddenly have genetic disorders now. For some reason.
- All those cartoon injuries seem to have finally caught up with all the Ponyville residents. Not even Carrot Top is safe.
- I'm amazed how this episode managed to get past without any censor hijinks, considering how many sensitive medical disorders are referenced.
- Granny Smith confirmed for silly pony ancestor and aged badflank.
- AJ confirmed for future Scrooge McPony. And she got her rainbow thing. Also predictable (again, the clip had its fingers in it too). Now lets just hope she doesn't accidentally use it as intended (to buy something) and screw everypony over later when it's time to save the world.
- Derpy! Also, Lyra being extremely silly. Many yays.
- Silver Shill... I'm not sure what exactly it is about him, but he's extremely unlikable. Probably the glasses.
Commentary, as usual
Bonus purdy pictures!
Leap of Faith
Highlights
- Predictable plot (not that the recent EW clip which spoiled the entire plot didn't help with that).
- Excellent (if predictable) moral.
- Song isn't very memorable, but is still pretty amusing.
- Flim & Flam get away without karma / being torn apart by a mob of freaks. Oh well!
- Equestria confirmed for many colorful, horrible, disgusting diseases, genetic disorders, and invalids/cripples! The fanfic writers will be all over this episode.
- Cherry Berry and Coco Crusoe now suddenly have genetic disorders now. For some reason.
- All those cartoon injuries seem to have finally caught up with all the Ponyville residents. Not even Carrot Top is safe.
- I'm amazed how this episode managed to get past without any censor hijinks, considering how many sensitive medical disorders are referenced.
- Granny Smith confirmed for silly pony ancestor and aged badflank.
- AJ confirmed for future Scrooge McPony. And she got her rainbow thing. Also predictable (again, the clip had its fingers in it too). Now lets just hope she doesn't accidentally use it as intended (to buy something) and screw everypony over later when it's time to save the world.
- Derpy! Also, Lyra being extremely silly. Many yays.
- Silver Shill... I'm not sure what exactly it is about him, but he's extremely unlikable. Probably the glasses.
Commentary, as usual
- Leap of Faith:
- - Big Mac is a dork. And AJ will sooner drown than abandon her hat.
- Let's mock the elderly again!
- "Allow me to recount my past in sepia tone!"
- Aquaponies! Still cooler than Aquaman!
- Apparently, granny Smith is a badflank in both senses of the word.
- Granny Smith speaks the unfortunate truth on the elderly.
- Troll Mac!
- "If that was a real shark, you'd be dead now."
- And then Applebloom never got her high-diving cutie mark, remaining a blank flank forever.
- You'd have thought the CMC have tried high-diving by now already.
- "Don't mind us, we're just cripples, passing through."
- Okay, how exactly did this congregation of the sick/hurt figure out where they need to congregate?
- "Curiosity killed MAH PARENTS!"
- Pony clones! Pony clones everywhere!
- Oh it's those two again.
- Doctor Whooves doesn't even know.
- What are you, a dictionary?
- Song! The evil kind!
- Somewhere, a germophobiac or hypochondriac is choking.
- It's like Equestria is full of horrifying monsters and unsafe geography/architecture.
- And then Flim & Flam get sued for worsening/causing a number of bone fractures.
- "My mane is parasprites. Your arguments are invalid."
- Why are they making a case out of it being magical when they're freaking unicorns?
- That pony looks terrible. And I'm not talking about his injuries. Especially those glasses.
- Something fishy about the pair of scammers? Get out.
- Mass song hysteria time!
- It's a bottle, not a jar.
- Jeebus Dr Whooves what's wrong with your hoof?
- Ewwww.
- This needs no caption. Note the boot cutie mark.
- Apparently, those two background ponies can turn into cripples when the plot demands it.
- Judging by all those diseases/genetic conditions, and their apparent lack in the show so far, one can only assume that Equestria culls their diseased.
- That's not exactly something you'd want to advertise. Unless it's a side-effect, in which case, very clever.
- Why include an inception horn?
- The apples use a whole apple as bait for rod-fishing. What kind of fish eats apples, and why would the apples try to catch it? Are they trying to catch piranhas?
- Applebloom killed her pet rock!
- "WE'LL SAVE YOU FROM THE PIRANHAS', YA'LL!"
- Granny Smith gives no bucks. And Big Mac just lost his collar thing.
- One tree-murder later, still no bucks to give.
- ACTION SLIDE!
- Forget her hips, look at her outfit! It's Strawberry Shortcake!
- She could go into advertising.
- And then everyone cringes.
- It's a sad day when your grandma flays her flanks at you.
- STEALTH MISSION, ACTIVATE!
- Welp, there goes any mystery of the plot.
- Cripes you dumb Apples he's even named Shill. How do you not see this from a mile away?
- Somepony's getting their legs broken. For real this time. Nopony messes with the Apple "family" on their home turf.
- SMOKE BOMB ESCAPE!
- Shill is apparently a master at the art of ninja hiding.
- Flim & Flam know how to make a smug face you want to punch.
- "She could go high-diving, as an example that most certainly won't happen and hasn't been foreshadowed earlier!"
- How do they know all of this Apple family history?
- Technically, that *is* a healthy drink. Just not a cure-all.
- MORAL EVENT HORIZON!
- Elderly skills!
- How is Granny Smith, of all ponies, not able to recognize apple juice when she tastes it?!
- "Tart-turnover" is not something that anyone should ever have a reason to say.
- Tonic: It's totally not drugs!
- Yes, do a technical truth to the leper pony. This is totally not morally questionable.
- Worst pony.
- Derpy!
- Lyra does not approve. She's been around Bon-Bon too long.
- Derpy!
- LIKE GRACEFUL SEAPONIES!
- Lyra what are you doing over there at the tonic stand, get back to the judge panel.
- Oh Lyra, you silly horse.
- Clever aquabats advertisement there, Hub. Real subtle.
- Yes, Granny Smith, advertise the fact you won an athletic competition with performance-boosting substances.
- "YA'ALLS LEGS ARE GETTING SO BROKEN!"
- I think the Hub got itself confused with how morals work.
- "She also mentioned something about 'blaze of glory', 'end this cruel comedic existence', and 'commit suicide'."
- Welp, there goes another Apple. It's like Mayflies with them, isn't it?
- Good thing there's a convenient rope! Not that AJ needs it, because she always has rope. Always.
- And then she invents bungee jumping.
- That's a very specific color for a water-pail.
- "Now excuse me whilst I slide down this giant tower with nothing to break my fall but my hooves."
- "It's full of colors, ya'all!"
- Double gasp combo!
- Real morals time!
- Placebo powers!
- Sorry Shill, you're still obnoxious, even if you are morally correct now.
- And then AJ becomes Scrooge McPony. Try not to get sued by Disney!
- If those things were a bit each, the Flim Flam brothers were operating at a loss. Those bottles and materials almost certainly cost more combined than a single bit.
- They legged it, like true businessponies.
- Written morals time! Mouth-writing seems so simple.
- And then AJ accidentally buys something with her key, and the world is doomed when she needs it later.
Bonus purdy pictures!
- Looks like Suri caught up with Coco...:
- Invisible stallion, parasprite mare. They fight crime.:
- Adorable loop!:
- High-res clopping!:
- Bowling is bad for you.:
- Science!:
- Lyra gags!:

Re: Take these broken wings and learn to fly: S4 Pony Discussion (Screened episodes only)
New episode!
Trade ya
Obligatory commentary
Highlights
- Three plots for the price of one! Though arguably, the RD/FS one was the 'main' one, and the plots are rather predictable.
- New animal get! Apparently, it's an Orthrus. There's also a short sight of one of the 'spookiest cave in Equestria' monsters in a cage, as well as a bunch of others.
- The chicken-selling guy is apparently a reference to Charles Nelson Reilly.
- Not liking Pinkie's plot-warranted stupidity this episode.
- AJ/Rarity in a generosity-off! Also, really poor trading values. How is a dirty old pot equivalent to two ponies-worth of other goods?
- Apparently, slavery/indentured servitude is perfectly legal / supported by rules in Equestria.
- The 'judge hammer' Twilight uses has the mane six coloring on it.
- Princess-hood apparently is a big deal. Although, it seems that most ponies are unaware of the full story until informed by a certain pink pony.
- Filly Derpy look-alike!
- Bioshock: Infinite is apparently a thing as well.
Trade ya
Obligatory commentary
- Trade Ya:
- - Rainbows!
- Capitalism, ho!
- Mass fan-rape in 5... 4...
- "Guess who's background pony now, y'all."
- Pink bunny!
- A fedora does not suit you, Rarity.
- Disaster averted.
- Wings: Now useful for displaying emotions too!
- Why is Carrot Top trading shoes?
- "And since there's never a disagreement, the status quo is eternal, and this will be a boring episode."
- Damn Twilight, you just know how to tempt fate, don't you?
- "I have hundreds of naked pictures of you."
- Dash is expanding her geek hobbies to 'collections' now, it seems.
- Dash, you've met the author of these books. You've ADVENTURED with the author of these books. How can you not MAKE an autographed version?
- Bear-call whistles sound like something Fluttershy might need more than a bird-call one.
- Predictable plot & bad idea #1, go!
- Bioshock ponies!
- So, to summarize: They'll take two ponies worth of goods, to get one item, to satisfy only one of the two.
- "Who could say no to exchanging a single object for such a huge assortment of items? Oh, yes! That is absolutely brilliant!" - Rarity confirmed for having zero economic savvy.
- Those crystal ponies are quite shiny this season. Also, ominous cardboard-cutout fire-pony.
- Friendship trade powers, go!
- Books!
- Reasonable pony is reasonable.
- Dashie, contain your wingboners.
- Sentimental value and actual value are an enigma to Dashie.
- "Look at this sad, sad pony."
- Suddenly, murder-dogs!
- And of course the Hagrid-pony approves.
- PREDICTABLE PLOT #2, GOOOO!
- Adorable wing-goodbye.
- Friendship-mental-sync at 90% accuracy. Soon, they will be ready to merge into the hivemind.
- Saxton Hale merchandise is AJ's apple of choice, it seeems.
- Rarity's sarcasm and rage are not subtle. She's had enough of bullshit this season.
- And drastically de-valued, since it's no longer one-of-a-kind. Hard to tell who's got the better item here: AJ's is marginally more useful, but Rarity can probably gift hers to somepony else.
- Skeptical Jack is an Apple.
- The old switcharoo. Why is the merchant allowing this fondling of goods?
- Angry ponies!
- The murder-doggies need some iron in their diet.
- Fluttershy gives no fucks about your murders, dogs.
- MURDER-DOG DEFUSED!
- Well, I get that he's trying to get rid of these eldritch horrors, but there has to be a better way than trading them away to unwary customers.
- That pony is incredibly metal.
- Chain all the deals! Also, Dashie is making lots of faces.
- Handicapped ponies return!
- Dash faces, all the Dash faces.
- Reference of a guy I don't know!
- Well, that's convenient.
- Well, since she got scammed with poor-quality goods, surely she gets a refund.
- Welp, that's a terrible trade. Reasonable pony is unreasonable.
- Unreasonable pony to the rescue!
- "I own all the markets."
- Welp, she's a witness. Guess you'll have to kill her.
- And that is how you traumatize witnesses into silence.
- "I'm making you my bitch."
- Is that an Egophiliac picture on that stand?
- Flaunt that princess-hood!
- Back to chain deal plot, it seems refunds are a suggestion, not a rule.
- Seems legit.
- Very subtle scam detection.
- I have no words for that mosaic. None that would make it funnier than it already is.
- What, no Scootaloo variants?
- ASSERTIVE PONY POWERS GO!
- Or not. Dashie to the rescue.
- When in doubt, harass traders by scaring customers away.
- GENEROSITY-OFF! Rarity will not be denied!
- "She was dirt, scum, the worst kind of wretch!"
- Value flaunting! Pinkie knows her profiteering. Capitalism ho!
- Disregard lesson, achieve capitalism.
- A phrase that needs a picture caption.
- Gah those faces. Reminds me of this.
- He's lovin' them oatburgers.
- Once again, Celestia's sun shenanigans cause trouble.
- This sequence sponsored by McDonalds. Oatburger patties look weird.
- And then the oatburger salesman got out of business because these two 'helpful' ponies care not if anypony paid for their meals.
- Ewww.
- FRIENDSHIP TUG-O-GENEROSITY!
- "If only we could fly over this crowd!"
- Or you could cause a mass panic. That works too.
- Fluttershy receives feels points. All of them.
- Please wait, Dashie's brain needs a few moments to completely break.
- Ewww. Not you too, Dash.
- Slavery/indentured servitude, go!
- And then Dashie lost ALL the karma.
- Pinkie, when she offers you a huge gem, you say yes.
- A lesson in economy: Don't let Pinkie Pie do it. Also, was that pony about to trade her baby?
- Nice tophat, Bon Bon.
- Legal lessons!
- And then Fluttershy went off to Manehattan, where she would be the star of her own spin-off show, 'Diaries of a dog walker'.
- And then nopony got what they wanted.
- "My rainbow hammer is the law! Obey it or be smitten by it!"
- ILLEGAL TRADE IN PROGRESS!
- Apparently, robots are canon in the fictional comic-book lands of Equestria.
- Reasonable trading is reasonable!
- Rarity is seething with rage.
- And then everypony got what they wanted. Except Pinkie Pie, who has done so eons ago.

Totally agree... Sad that Pinkie's actions were the weak link in this episode. Equally feel Equestra seems to lack understanding of good trades.

Rare animal handler doesn't have a cutie-mark. Oversight? or Plot point?

Due to a genetic mutation, his cutie mark can be found on his face, and he does not, in fact, have a scar. In the far future, I won't be surprised if every pony had this, especially with the growing prevalence of clothing...Cardbo wrote:Rare animal handler doesn't have a cutie-mark.

Ok, so does anyone know whose OC they used for the Lamp guy?
Seriously, Im a pegasus with Black and purple hair, and I have the pony equivalent of a wheel chair, and a slight, difficult to place accent. It looks like it cam fresh off the Pony Creator.

Re: Take these broken wings and learn to fly: S4 Pony Discussion (Screened episodes only)
New episode! Now with 300% more crazy pony and fridge horrors!
INSPIRATION MANIFESTATION
Highlights!
- Spike has denial issues when it comes to Rarity.
- Spike shows us some depth/growth. Both of his stomach and character. His breath is improving, too!
- Spike also shows some high degrees of denial/obliviousness when it comes to anything Rarity-related. He's also uncannily trusting of Rarity.
- Rarity once again shows us the true villains of the series: Ponies and their hidden pits of insanity they conceal.
- Rarity murdered and/or irrevocably transfigured/banished several ponies (the Mariachi band and the clown). She also created best background pony.
- Equestria is littered with artifacts that are apparently cursed with immense power / insanity-causing, but with simple methods of deactivation. Meaning why isn't this thing used for public benefit by carefully monitoring and deactivating it before the insanity kicks in?!
- Rarity's parents make another showing!
- The plot of this episode could very well work with *any* of the Mane Six (maybe not Rainbow Dash). All could potentially have horrible results. There's gonna be so many dark-fics after this episode.
INSPIRATION MANIFESTATION
- Commentaries!:
- - Festivities!
- Stop ruining the otherwise lovely scene, Diamond Tiara.
- Vinyl also sells records, it seems.
- Parents! Also some purple-mane pony.
- Pinkie Pie cares not for concussions.
- Fabulous puppet shows!
- Friend zoned!
- Then again...
- Willy Wonka put on some weight. And changed professions. Guess the terror-tunnel did a bit on his sanity.
- I think this is the fattest pony we've seen to date. excluding an over-gorged Pinkie Pie.
- Reasonable complaints. How did they cart it outside if it can't travel, though?
- Ventriloquism/puppet shows aren't exactly notable in a world of magical unicorns.
- Drama/feels in three...
- Somepony's in denial.
- "My tears are as black and gray as my soul!"
- Eat away the pain.
- How does she keep a figure? Spa treatments don't do much about the calorie intake, and she isn't exactly the type to ever exercise... I suspect anorexia.
- MEANWHILE AT THE SPOOKY CASTLE!
- Why is the owl here? Also, that joke is overused.
- Twilight's ears must be twitching.
- Don't be like that, owl.
- And then Spike learned a new life lesson/moral from an owl.
- Just kidding, time for the plot!
- Spike's breath is improving.
- Well that's not ominous at all!
- Clearly it was made by dwarves.
- Spike is emulating every D&D player in existence. Even the excuse!
- "Nat20 to disbelieve, bitches."
- Fun fact: 90% of Rarity's budget goes into comfort foods.
- She'd rather cancel an entire festival than go through it without a creative offering. ELEMENT OF GENEROSITY!
- Equestria confirmed for Raffaello.
- Pay no attention to the evil spikes.
- Pay no attention to the words of what is an obvious [s]curse[/s] super helpful, harmless spell.
- NOTHING OMINOUS AT ALL.
- Wait, so she turned two slabs of rock into an entire filled book?
- Oh hey, you gave reality-warping powers to Rarity. Good job killing the universe, Spike.
- Somewhere, hundreds of pony artists and Bronies are willing to kill to have this spell.
- How does this boost creativity? Other than by just making things faster to make?
- "I am not evil and/or crazy. Nope."
- Them are some snarky puppets.
- BEHOLD, REASONABLE ENGINEERING DESIGN!
- Okay, that puppetry is a bit impressive, considering they're pulling a cart.
- That face.
- Filly scouts!
- "I can stop whenever I want to. Unless the plot demands it."
- "Don't you dare judge me, semi-sentient avian."
- Meanwhile, at the carousel discotheque...
- PREPARE YOUR FASHION, DARLING.
- RY: "Still more sane than Twilight Sparkle."
Spike: "Fair enough."
- PONY CONFIRMED FOR 15 SEASONS!
- Slipping down that slope.
- "Gurl, you cray-cray. But I do want to get third base, so..."
- I wonder what would result from this situation if it were any of the other ponies.
- Horrifying transfiguration in three...
- Or not.
- Trying to dodge the SCP foundation, Rarity?
- A new low for Spike: Getting dumped in favor of a book.
- This is why there are no geneticists in Equestria.
- You monster! Rainbow Dash is allergic to fashion!
- Lots of food for a bird.
- That bird is now a member of the 1% elite.
- About as much as you know about making nests, probably.
- Condescending owl is condescending.
- When in doubt, ruin birthday parties.
- We all know that look. The look of having to eat fancy food.
- And then Rarity murdered/genetically mutilatedIMPROVED a clown.
- They're really packing the 'ominous descent into madness' shots, aren't they?
- And then a Mariachi band died in favor of best background pony. Alternately, it went on to have a decent career in Sam & Max games.
- And then Spike was transformed into a 'perfect boyfriend'.
- Hah, no. Just more Dwarf Fortress armor.
- Why isn't the owl telling her anything?
- Ah yes, the dread gazebo.
- Wouldn't they have suffocated by now?
- See, if this was realistic, the ponies would be grabbing their pickaxes. Unfortunately, they're morons.
- Pay no attention to the unhinged giggling.
- Snake, you are not.
- "Your compliment pleases me. You may yet live."
- That sounds like a lightning hazard.
- Well, thats one way of dealing with ancient evil artifacts.
- Let us hold a minute of silence for Rarity's crushed sanity.
- YOU DUN GOOFED, SPIKE.
- Spike's grisly death in three...
- Translated from owl: "You motherbucker."
- I CAN FEEL THE WARP OVERTAKING ME, DARLING!
- And then Spike finally learned that he started the apocalypse, ascending himself to rank of Cutie Mark Crusader.
- All it's missing is latin chanting.
- And then, character growth! Namely, growing a pair. Made of adamantium.
- Pay no attention to the green evil magic that probably just went on to possess a little filly.
- Terrifying... or FABULOUS?
- Flashbacks! Not that anyone missed the explanation, since it was super obvious.
- Moral of the episode: Applejack fixes everything.
- "Also, sometimes you just gotta eat an ancient evil artifact."
- Frazzled mane!
- And by 'fix' she means 'looted'.
- Troll morals: The AJ way.
-

- Rarity once again shows us the true villains of the series: Ponies and their hidden pits of insanity they conceal.
- Rarity murdered and/or irrevocably transfigured/banished several ponies (the Mariachi band and the clown). She also created best background pony.
- Equestria is littered with artifacts that are apparently cursed with immense power / insanity-causing, but with simple methods of deactivation. Meaning why isn't this thing used for public benefit by carefully monitoring and deactivating it before the insanity kicks in?!
- Rarity's parents make another showing!
- The plot of this episode could very well work with *any* of the Mane Six (maybe not Rainbow Dash). All could potentially have horrible results. There's gonna be so many dark-fics after this episode.
