My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!

[Soras Teva Gee]

Have we all seen EQD's exclusive of Hasbro's new toy set releases?

Go on, go look, I'll wait..

Seem legit let me place my order along with Hoof Hands.

[RdMarquis]

Elements of Ponythread v2.4

That's gonna make one big rainbow. And require a ton of necklaces and crown thingies.

Also, I hate to put a damper on the festivities, but...

I can't help but feel bad for a pony whose special ability is owning and wearing a tiara, I must admit.

Twidash's offspring is the most D'awwwwdorable. I think I'll call her Shooting Star

I don't know, crowns are a symbol of authority. She actually seems to be a pretty effective leader, especially if she can tone down the aggression a bit.

Thoughts on the new episode:

That settles it. I wish they'd made that Crusaders spinoff. They didn't make a single bad Crusaders episode all season, and this rivals Sisterhooves Social for the distinction of the best one.

The only thing it could have used was a headline like "Mare Do Well: Threat or Menace."

Also, I did another episode of my podcast. Released on April 1st. Clearly this is exactly what's on the label (wink). http://fivepointpodcast.blogspot.com...on-review.html

[Beacon of Chaos]

I really want Power Armour Twilight and Jungle Attack Fluttershy.

You and me both :o

[darthbobcat]

You and me both :o

I want the Rainbow Dash with REALISTIC BATTLE DAMAGE and KUNG FU GRIP.

"But she doesn't have thumbs."

I CARE NOT.

Think about poor Pokey. Or Snips. Celestia knows what use is holding a spoon in your mouth. And the more well-know families practicly have predetermened routes in life.

Well, they clearly pick stuff up somehow. The problem is figuring out how to make a toy do that. Of course, then you'll have people with action figures clamped to their bodies without any way to get them off.

Reminds me of a Dave Barry joke, about a line of toys called, as I recall, Larry the Leech. The doll would attach itself to your child, and couldn't be removed without a special chemical made by combining the contents of small vials embedded in every doll in the series.

[Soras Teva Gee]

So assuming the site is still running on GMT isn't Ponyland about done?

I believe there is toy precedent for actually having little magnets but don't quote me on it.

[Grif]

Hey all the fact checking and such and a realization of just how much time I spend with at least one open in one tab has finally made me realize my Element

I am the Soras the Element of Wiki!

Can I be the Element of Vigilant Noninterference? Because that seems to be all I'm doing around these parts.

While we're all getting new Elements, I'd like to apply for the Element of MAD SCIENCE!!! (Three exclamation points, no fewer.)

Is the Element of Cults open? That would be nice.

Ooh, Elements? What could I be... *looks at avatar*

Can I be the Element of Griffons? Pleeease? I promise to not call ponies lame.

That's gonna make one big rainbow. And require a ton of necklaces and crown thingies.

So assuming the site is still running on GMT isn't Ponyland about done?

Possibly. It kicked in around 24 hours ago, so it may leave shortly. I hope we at least get an option to re-activate it.

[Eakin]

It's not all that bad. Names and cutie marks aren't that literal. Otherwise Pinkie Pie's career would be balloon salespony. Maybe silver spoon's destiny is to become some kind of expert gourmet soup chef, that would still fit.

Still, I don't expect any member of the Apple Family to be selling cucumbers, ehh?

Yeesh, we would have a Rainbow of Tripping, honastly.

You know what, Bobcat, mate, I'mma gonna save that one and remember it in a week or two's time, when my massive Strayvian ground forces comes, because I'll want something to listen to while I'm painting it.

[Eakin]

Well the only other full family of farmers (alliteration's fun!) we've seen so far managed to produce Pinkie Pie. I could see Applebloom working in carpentry somewhere besides Sweet Apple Acres once they're all adults. She's terrible at selling apples, shows no affinity for bucking, and once AJ and Big Mac have families of their own it's gonna start getting awfully crowded on that farm.

Provided Big Mac starts going after real girls. That mind control whammy might have him obsessed with that doll forever.

Ponyville appears to be 90% female, I suspect he'll do just fine. Heck he may or may not be dating Cheerilee on the down low depending on how you interpret the end of Hearts and Hooves

True, yet by going from the rest of the Apple Family highly unlikely. Also, I doubt a little filly could do the same job as a full grown mare in knocking down apples.

I'm really not sure how to get across the confusion you just caused me with that statement. I literally just spent about half a minute staring at that sentence in slack-jawed befuddlement and horror. And no, I'm not misusing literally there.

[Coidzor]

Yes, but her actual greatest talent is just wearing the tiara. Her leadership skills will always be secondary or worse to her ability to wear a glorified hat.

Ha, I remember that tag. I think I saw it when somepony posted some non-Midnight hypothetical Trixie/Twilight child. It definitely got some laughter out of me.


Out of those I like the TwiDash one the best.

[Soras Teva Gee]

We've seen more symbolic then that aplenty. Fluttershy isn't just good with Butterflies, Pinkie isn't just good with balloons, Rarity is only loosely gem oriented as really only a supplement to her talent for design.

We may have just reviewed something slightly different than it says on the tin. The opinions are honest, and we scaled back how silly we were based on the quality of the show.

If you already know what we actually reviewed, yeah. Let that sink in. I didn't exactly go into a deep search, but the official British press reviews liked it, and the handful of TV show blogs I found talking about it enjoyed it and called it smart and creative.
