What was the name of the bad guy pony who stole the ring? I couldn't quite catch it.

Spoiler: Episode Four

"Dr. Caballeron" or something like that. Yes, I had to look it up. No, I don't know what Indiana Jones villain he is referencing off the top of my head.

*I'm not going to even try thinking about how much red paint Pinkie had to have brought with her.

Spoiler: Rebuttle.

Pinkie Didn't bring the Red paint with her, She had previously stashed a few thousand cans along the way.

in case of Red Pain emergencies.


Also, I'm going to need to find an Equestria that's experienced Season four.

I know that Twilich and Cyber Dash are going to want copies of that Book

[Theoboldi]

You're my hero.

Wait a few days until this one is run into the ground, and you'll be begging for Twicane to come back.

I wonder if the book is gonna get more negative reviews due to annoying or awesome sidekicks.
So who should be the annoying son of Indiana Jones in Daring equivalent of Crystal Skull?

That is a great face. They seemed to have quite a few new and interesting faces in this one. I think I spotted several, and I wouldn't be surprised if I missed a few

Quoting because your typo is pretty funny, especially as I could see you typing that intentionally in an RP.

I *Still* am curious about the fact Do and all her villains are real beings. Have they read the books? Does Celestia know Ahuizotl is a threat that could potentially cause Equestria some problems?

I wonder if she'd find that fun or annoying. :)

Didn't everyone know?

Surprisingly, some folks don't know about the 'Goo-people' concept. I actually explained it someone last night in fact.

[Theoboldi]

Didn't everyone know?

Well, I didn't. But now I do! It's like whole new world opened up to me! One filled with goo and liquids! One where I can poke a pony and watch the ripples slowly spread over its semi-solid coat! It's so beautiful.

Nope, just a typo.

Poor Scooty's all covered in bruises.

That's... an interesting mental image.

Could be creepy depending on the scale though.

I am tempted to quote this, but I don't have any more signature space.

[Forum Explorer]

Yeah, its an episode and issue that comes up now and again. I'm going to strongly reject your central point though.

Cider Squeezy is broadly pro-technology. No, really.
The machine works. And what's more, it turns out cider comparable to apple family cider. And quicker, it took the whole apple family and mane 6 to out produce it.

So, what let the Flim Flam's down? What happened to prevent them using this fabulous machine to con the apples out of their land?

They didn't care about the quality of the cider. They had no love for it. The machine is blameless, technology comes across well, but smiley jerks who are only after money fail, not because the machine wasn't as good, but because they didn't understand what matters, they had no integrity and that, their inherant dishonesty let them down.

The machine itself is almost entirely shown as a good, positive thing except that the flim flams are using it to muscle out the apples.

I actually agree with you, however the anti-technology interpretation seems to be a relatively common criticism of the episode.

I can't find the episode anywhere...

You might want to check out Equestria Daily. They're generally pretty good about this sort of thing.

Other than that? Fun episode to watch. I don't really have too much to say about it, and especially not anything that hasn't been mentioned already.

Celestia probably considers him small fry. After all, he's only after one valley somewhere in the far north, where it doesn't even look like anypony lives in (except those tribal ones, but they'll get what they signed up for).

[Anarion]

Just watched today's ep. One of the best, imo. Felt wonderful at the end. Much awesome.

Spoiler

Show

I'm sure we'll get around to working out all the wonky details of Daring Do actually being real at some point, but, it's not like her power scale is really out of whack or anything. The books make her money to fund her adventuring and they only record past events (and leave out details like knowing how the rings work to hold up the fortress), so I doubt that either she or Ahuizotl care all that much. Plus, Daring gets to wear those nice red glasses for a change of pace.

This is going to come up again. Rainbow and Daring have the same mane and hair.

The episode was fun, I'll admit.
