My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!

[SlyGuyMcFly]

I highly recommend it. It tastes a bit like beef, only a bit more spicy. Great stuff. Mum gets it (and occasionally ostrich as well) sometimes, since her first (not quite so traumatic!) trip down to Austraila.

Ostritch is right tasty too.

And this was the post where I decided to actually mark things for quoting. Also the post where I died laughing.

Ooohhhhhhh...I'm a posting ghost....ooooooooohhh...

So, to you Australians: what is stopping your people from taking over the world by weaponizing your wildlife?

They don't need to. The wildlife is already weaponized. Against Australia.

Also, three new things for tonight. The first is this, which is spoilery of the new episode.

New ep:

Ahaha, I'd forgotten about her. I'm looking forawrd to what else the fandom will do with Silverspeed and Pegasus Bon Bon (Bon Voyage?)

That is true.

Seriously, why isn't kangaroo meat way more popular? Not only is it delicious, I'm told it's quite a lot lower in fact and thus more healthy than beef.

Huh. I tried it once and found it completely tasteless. Like eating a wet sponge.

I was in France at the time, though. They can never get a steak done right.

Hurricane Fluttershy-

And finally, my Favorite line from the episode:
Twilight: "Do I *LOOK* like I speak squirrel?!"

New ep:

Spoiler

Oh wow, I'd forgotten about this but... Isn't that a Powerpuff Girls reference? Bubbles speaks to Squirrels but her sisters don't.

I wouldn't be surprised if Twilight's line was spoken word for word by Blossom in some PPG epsiode.

Computer is being uncooperative with the multiquote function right now, so that's why these quotes have no links.

[erikun]

Hm, looks like they used Rainbow Dash's concept art instead of the official artwork.

Aha, that would explain it. I'm wondering once again why they grabbed and colored a concept sketch rather than using the dozens of official art they should have access to, but given that they still haven't found Applejack's hat, perhaps I should just stop being surprised.

I would like to try Kangaroo. I have tried Ostrich which was delicious.

Now I really want to go to Australia. Especially to see the insanely huge spiders.

Finally got around to drawing DJ Pon3 and Twi together. Now if only I can also get around to finish writing that fic I had about them months ago.

Episode was so fantastic it made me stop thinking about that whole Wakko and Pinkie Pie conversation. Wait. Dang it.

Obligatory discussion for the episode:

Surprised I haven't seen an animated gif of Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy high winging each other.

And Fluttershy really can converse with otherwise unintelligible animals. Definitely a druid. Let's see when she learns Wildshape...

You know Stare Master? That's her abusing houserules and such to wildshape into a beholder.

Good lord, the range of Rainbow Dash facial expressions in that gif is incredible. I count about 5 completely distinct facial expressions in that tiny moment.

[DigoDragon]

Season Finale episode thought...

Spoiler

My thought about the mane 6 clones- Since weddings require a lot of detailed planning, you want to trust people who think the way you do so that everything is perfect. I could see Twilight using a spell to clone her friends to have the needed manpower horsepower to get the wedding set up on time.
Being that it's for Twi's brother, she'd probably want things perfect enough that she'd risk such a dangerous spell. Of course given Twi's track record for using risky spells...

Episode's Aesop: Twilight would make a good mad scientist.

If Season 2 has done one thing and one thing only its massively expand the range of pony expressiveness.

[Beacon of Chaos]

So Hot-Blooded Pinkie Pie is my new favourite thing ever. Pretty much because I found this.


Anyway, I have a dilemma right now. I saw a pic for an upcoming episode (I'm assuming the next one but I don't know). I'm trying to avoid spoilers, but I didn't realise this was from an episode until I checked the tags (it seriously looked fanmade). Now normally this would annoy me... but what I saw (one of my fav secondary characters) has kinda made me psyched for it. Should I just watch the clip, or leave it until the episode comes along? Tricky. Sometimes the clips make me excited, other times they leave me feeling annoyed because they start midway through the episode. Arg! Why must they taunt me!?

I just going to join the people who saw that and immediately thought "Powerpuff Girls reference." I think there's a bunch of overlap between the people who worked on the two shows not even counting Tara Strong and Lauren Faust

That is true.

Seriously, why isn't kangaroo meat way more popular? Not only is it delicious, I'm told it's quite a lot lower in fact and thus more healthy than beef.

I try to stick to a low-fact diet myself, but I tend to find that myth-based foods give me terrible indigestion.

These recent announcements about the season finale are really confusing. Maybe my mind is just a little slow tonight, but I could barely make sense of that post.

Can somepony explain to me in plain words what this is all about?

Possibly season finale spoilers, maybe

Are the episodes going to have live commentary or something? I'm getting confused AND slightly concerned here.

Heh, the things that ponies do when they think they're alone. I suppose it would be too much to hope for cameo of Lyra trying to walk upright as seen through a window. If I had to guess, I expect them to pull up something embarrassing on each associated character, so Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack will each get caught in a story by one of the crusaders.

Edit: @Deadly: No the episodes will be just the episodes. What I think they're doing is having a short blurb at some point during the commercial breaks with commentary on what's going on. Maybe in place of the regular "and now, back to My Little Pony" ads that they run, they'll put the live commentary. They're also running both episodes one right after the other, so they'll have 44 minutes of episode time and 16 minutes split between commentary and commercials.

No, not live commentary. There's going to be events leading up to it and some interstitial material laced through the commercial breaks. Gonna be so awesome.

Looks like Phoe is all into the big event, Hasbro should have her be co-host with Tori.

on the other hand I am severely curious about her reaction to Hurricane Fluttershy episode.

Ah. I'm still a little uncertain what this will entail precisely, but maybe that hasn't been announced yet. Either way, others seem way more enthusiastic about this than me. I'll wait and see before making up my mind whether it's cool or not.

Okay so she's not going to be in the episode itself then, just the host for the programming block? That makes much more sense now.

Thanks a bunch Phoe.

Hurricane Fluttershy is the best episode of season 2. I don't really have reactions so much as sounds, and those sounds are "eeeeeeee~".
