My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Season 5 (04/04/2015)

[RogueIce]

There's a Season 5 coming?

Yes. Yes there is.

And it begins with a two-part season premiere April 4th on The Hub ( ) Discovery Family.

So who's ready for more PONY?

So who's ready for more PONY?

ME! ME! ME!

[Bedlam]

There is always Pony, if you know where to look for it.

I only just got around to watching 'Rainbow Rocks', I don't know if we ever had a discussion on that one.

Well, it was better than the first EG. I can't wait for Season 5! Personally, though, I still find Seasons 1 & 2 the best. But, hey, more pony is always a good thing.

[Purple]

Here is a question. Who is your favorite pony of them all? For me, it absolutely has to be the one and only Pinkie Pie.

[Bedlam]

I'm rather fond of Fluttershy but I've got to say given what's been done with her Rarity wins hands (hooves?) down for me. She's just so delightfully quirky, she's the greedy element of generosity and makes that work.

[RogueIce]

Applejack out of the Mane Six. Though they're all pretty awesome, there's just something about AJ that makes me like her best.

Overall? Well...duh

[biostem]

I like Rarity - only one who runs her own business and supports herself. As much of a diva as she can be, she's got herself in order...

Couldn't you say that Applejack runs her own business as well? She does seem to be the main spokespony for Sweet Apple Acres even if Mac or Granny Smith might actually own it, it seems less financially secure that Rarity's place but it's still a functioning business.

[RogueIce]

Rainbow Dash is the lead Weather Pony for Ponyville. So a supervisor position in a government job, hardly anything to sneeze at.

[Starglider]

The fact that Twilight is the lead character masks the fact that even if any other pony was the lead character, Twilight would still be the best character.

I am approximately 19.7% of the way to completion of a definitive proof of this fundamental truth via reflexive-hyperbolic logic.

[Crazedwraith]

Like for RI, you'll just have to guess mine.

For the Mane Six. I'd rank them. Twilight/Fluttershy, AJ, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Pinkie Pie. I don't dislike Pinkie Pie but I don't care for many Pinkie Pie episodes and she's really easy to over do.

Twilight is awesome. Especially in the first series when her episodes revolved more about her wanting to fit and being afraid of losing her new found friends as opposed to the superOCD plots of later seasons. (Though they're not bad either)

Not really spoilers:

[RogueIce]

Private video.

[Irbis]

Huh, Hasbro decided to delete these? I wonder why. Anyway, a mirror:

[Irbis]

Oh, and that was Hasbro MLP 1 IV video:

[Starglider]

For some reason I am imagining a thestral social justice warrior writing an essay about how the blatant wing type-morality equation in the first video is a persistent microaggression that must be eliminated for Equestria to be equal etc. Obviously I have read too much FIMFiction.

Spoiler

I wondered for a minute if Starlight Glimmer was going to get away with their cutie marks and the rest of the season would revolve around getting them back

[Starglider]

I thought it was ok but not as strong as the S2 or S4 openers. There was a definite lack of physical threat from the couple dozen villagers forcibly imprisoning the mane 6; we've seen the main characters hold their own against a horde of changeling warriors. Though it's true that they'd be reluctant to start violence with other ponies, and towards the end the mane6 do seem physically drained not just missing skills.

new nouns : hoofball, conceit, pilgrimage, piglet, countryism
new verbs : flaunt, unmark
(+several new variants of existing roots)

[Starglider]

S5E04 was preeeety much trolling the audience + luna fanservice, but fairly well constructed.

new nouns : pasture (strange this hasn't come up before), roll call (had to define the composite event to make it parse correctly)
new verbs : skeedadle

[RogueIce]

If you are even remotely a fan of this show, drop whatever you are doing and go watch "Crusaders of the Lost Mark" right now.

Because it was an amazing and all around beautiful episode.

[Crazedwraith]

I am so far behind on season 5. I saw Gilda's return and the 100th (which was so much fanon nod rubbish) but then I stopped again.

With a title like that though... did the CMCs get their marks or something?

[RogueIce]

Let's just say we discover Diamond Tiara has an amazing singing voice. And gives us probably one of the most heart breaking songs I have heard in a very long time.

Simply put yes!
