Eh. Not as good as DRESS.MOV was. This one dragged a lot in the middle.

[DaBatGuy]

I agree. The first two worked because the ponies remained (mostly) in character, aside from the potty mouthes and exaggerated personality flaws. This one relied too much on shock and gore instead of riffing on the characters and themes of the show.

[SRB2Unleashed]

Not getting the same energy I gotta outta the first two either.

Then again this is what happens when you don't stay outta the shed.

[Speederino]

It's what I expected, really. I never imagined anything BUT shock and gore inside Fluttershy's shed.

[Mr. Mayhem!]

Meh, after DRESS.MOV, I had a feeling this series begin would rely way too much on shock humor... Though I shouldn't be judging right away, it is the third entry in the series...

Anyways, this one just felt like another Cupcakes/Generic Grimdark-as-F*** slasher Pony parody, which I am getting pretty tired of, cause of how overused those references/gags are.

Well, I thought it was funny. Not because of the whole slasher/shock humor motif itself; I differentiate it from Cupcakes because it parodied Fluttershy's introversion with the whole "the quiet ones are the dangerous ones" trope. And it kind of works, since we've seen Fluttershy's bezerk button hit a few times in the actual series. APPLE.MOV's still the best though, and I'm REALLY hoping that Pinkie's episode isn't going to play off that last line.

It's that time again! Time for...

PUNIES! (ajklajkajkajkajkajakjk)

Reading rainbows this week! I wonder if we are going to have a trip down to imagination lane (I certainly hope so! References to books like Moby Dick would be awesome)...

The episode info we have received also suggest we might see a bit of Rainbow being a jerk, even if its for just the cold opening... Then she discovers the joys of reading but tries to cover things up to keep her "cool" image... You know there was a fanfic about that (I feel like I'm pointing the obvious at this point), except that dealt with "girly" stuff instead of "nerdy"... Her friends played a bgi role in that fic... I wonder how things will play out here...

I expect this pic to be my tl;dr in my longpost.

As for things that are not likely to happen? Fanfiction refferences! That's the only thing I can think right now... The moment you see some LoTR esque adventure and an elf kingdom made of deers some sides of the fandom are going to explode.

And we have another synopsis:

FLOOTERSHAI EPISODE! To which I can only say...

This is another thing that I saw in some fanfics, but unlike most of the episodes so far this is a topic that I find really, REALLY interesting and the fics there have been about it are... Less than stellar...

So I just can't freaking wait to see this story done "right"... Oh yeah! I'm confident in the studio...



SO HYPE right now!

See ya in a few hours... I hope...

[Azure Yakuzu]

I liked it, it wasn't as funny as APPLE.MOV, but it was better than DRESS.MOV, it just relied too much on gore and shock, so its nothing new.

[Snatcher2047]

Well, that was... disturbing. Thought the song was funny, though.

[Tornado]

I think it says a lot of positive things for the show when basically everyone had the episode so thoroughly pegged that we could have written the script ourselves based on our predictions and how we understand Rainbow's personality and have it come out nearly the same, but it was still thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. It even managed to work the episode moral in a way that is very clearly "Dash" without just making her shrug the whole thing off immediately like the other two episodes did. Dash gained a lot of stock for me in this episode.

Spoiler

Daring Do's actual voice was awesome the few times she spoke (rather than Dash's narration), and there were a lot of fun visual gags in this episode too. Like Dash's... flawed Ninja attire. And I was surprised by how little of a role Twilight played in the proceedings, though there is nothing wrong with how it was done.

The plot was painfully predictable but still very solid and a lot better than the last Dash episode.

Almost there. Especially since the Big Mac one is almost inevitable.

It was an, eh, kinda alright ep. though pretty predictable. Well, the only part I really like was RD pulling a ninja/MGS in the hospital, which was pretty funny near the end. The Daring Do part felt dull because it was basic Indiana Jones cliche parody. Also, it was pretty disappointing that Twilight didn't have more of a role here since being the bookworm of the team and all, and would have had more interesting interaction between chars.

EDIT: Also, I would have preferred it if RD looked at more books than just one to mix up genres a bit.

I mean... This one?

I think her most common fan nickname is Mjolna, and she already has an ask blog.

xD
Wow, they're fast.

Also, I saw shed.mov a few hours ago (as soon as I woke up, pretty much). Pretty funny, but nowhere near as good as apple.mov or dress.mov.

It was a little cruel, and funny at times. But most of the time, it was just a gigantic parody of Cupcakes, which was okay, I guess... I can't say I didn't laugh however. I liked this one, but apple.mov is still the best one.

Also, gonna watch the new ep right now. Thanks for embedding it, Celestia!

[Black Mamba]

dat new .mov episode


It's probably the only pony related thing that i enjoy.

[Snatcher2047]

Yay! New episode time.

Spoiler

* Love the Daring Do segments. Wouldn't mind seeing more of it in the future.
* Lots of AppleJack "cowgirl" talk in this one. I LOVE THAT.
* YOU SUNK MY CLOUDSHIP!
* LMAO at the crazy barking pony. That whole scene had me scratching my head, and then the payoff at the end was great.
* Who else wanted some sort of a Dr. Evil reference when the villain was petting that cat?
* Finally, a RD episode this season that makes her likable again.

Very enjoyable episode, even though it was an episode that didn't really try anything out of the box like most of the really good episodes do.

And what do we have here?:



Awesome.

1. I love this episode!

2. I actually enjoyed the Daring-Do story. I'm a sucker for adventure stories, myself. And of all genre, it would make sense for that kind of story to grab RD's attention!

3. BARK! BARK! ocO ARF! BARK! BARK! *runs*

[Fluttershy]

I really liked this episode a lot more than the last dash one. I'm left wondering just what the fuck happened to that pony in the full body cast...

Maybe he broke a Pinkie promise.

[Nix]

See look. An episode that made Rainbow Dash a likable character.

Now that wasn't so hard, now was it?
