Gone over the edge... but it's not my fault. The circumstances forced me to do it. My parents went to the airport, and my sister was at school, and the cat was outside, and the windows were drawn, and I had to wait for a package, and the show happened to be on at that time so I was forced to watch an episode of MLP. Something about "Cutie-Pox". I disagree with the lesson though. If apple bloom had desired unequaled magical prowess she could have wrested control of the "affliction" and gained strength, fencing prowess, psionics, etc.
Also, zecora is an apothecary for the ultramarines.
Spoiler
Also, some of the ponies are quite cruel to one another.
Bottom Line: The show does have a pull but I must resist because I felt like a criminal watching it.
