New FOE:pH chapter, get this, it has a warning at the top for a specific scene that's supposed to be really graphic.
I was scared.
The chapter has some really dark moments, but it's hardly anything worse than what we've seen.

I'm very, very interested in what the next chapter will be.

NO REGRETS

But seriously, I find it adorable. I don't know why, but I do. There was a guy I went out with on a date once, and through the process found out he was a My Little Pony fan. My day was made.

New FoE:pH chapter.
Rather light-hearted (comparatively-speaking) and full of win (aka, drunk Blackjack).

This is coming a bit late but I liked the new chapter. I'm sure some people will get upset by having her meet Little Pip but Somber did a great job of keeping her in character. She did a good job with Xenith and Calamity as well. Though I do kinda wish that Xenith would have met Rampage. Seeing the two deadliest hoof to hoof fighters in the FoE universe together could have been interesting.

In the new episode, I didn't really notice this little part until now:

Of all the ponies they could have done a reaction shot due to the lack of cider, it had to be Berry Punch; the one deemed the heavy drinker by the fandom. The funny thing is that the heavy drinker thing is what the animators were going for by having her drink from the punch bowl during Call of the Cutie. So doing this was also likely on purpose.

Just saw the new episode. I noticed this season has a lot more musical numbers than the last one -- actually, I can't remember any from season 1 except for Grand Galloping Gala.

Laughter Song?
Art of the Dress?
So many wonders?
Evil Enchantress?
Winter wrap up?
You gotta share, you gotta care?

The songs in season 2 are definitely leaning towards being longer on average though. Flim-Flam bros. was the longest song so far in the series.

I said musical numbers, like Grease, not Pinkie or Fluttershy's singing. I know they sang songs but they usually sang alone and only for a brief time. Now it seems all of Ponyville is in on the musical business. Which is okay, but I don't really care for musicals.

It is strangely well written.

SFdebris did an excellent review on it.

SPOILERS!










Why didn't she just . . . ask for the book?
"I knew the book was good, but I didn't know it could drive a pony to petty theft!" :D


Also, the hospital staff are hardcore, and that's a miracle hat DD is wearing.

P.S. Commercial after predicts Big MacintoshxCheerilee as a couple for the Valentine's day episode.

Another PH chapter is up.
Again, more downtime, but next chapter we should be back in the Hoof.

A lot of property damage in this episode. :tongue

I like the Pepe Le Pew reference with Big Mac's hopping. Very fitting. Also the openness of the ending, whether they've become more than friends or not.

This episode had so much win in it in terms of animations and comedy.

And yeah, the open ending will satisfy fanfiction writers everywhere. :p

With every chapter of PH, I'm liking Rampage more and more. Though I do think Blackjack might be getting a little too soft hearted at times.

SPOILERS FOLLOW










My impressions:

What did Zecora say?

Dat singing trot . . .

Dat rooftop hopping . . . apparently all Ponies are part bunny.

And once again Ponyville displays a propensity for spontaneously bursting into song.

Eeyore, is that you?

Multi-racial Ponyville/Equestria is best Ponyville/Equestria

Kleptomaniac Pinkie Pie? Snooper Pinkie Pie?

4 evers = forever | LOL

Pinkie Replaces statue of Celestia = foreshadowing?
tongue.png


Pinkie has the creepiest eye(s) ever.

For a moment I thought it was Mayor Mare outside. Probably the same voice actress.

Octo-Pinkie Pie

>Leaves a note for someone to say she's leaving
>Puts it on the inside of her door

Apparently smiling does take years off of your face.

Firework-Pinkie Pie

So many -Pinkie Pies today.

She has the Cranky Doodle what now?

(audio's a bit off I think)


The thing that gets to me about all of this is that it seems to have been such a waste of time on the studio's part.

Altering her voice and dropping her name don't alter the impression of Derpy, or w/e her name is now, as a character because she still comes off as being a clutz--she does the same things, she says the same things, nothing's really changed.
Actions matter more than words, and both what is said and how it's said are part of impressions. In this case, what she says reveals far more about her than any accent.
