Re: My Little Pony XCIX: Leakier Than A Changeling Bathtub!
Best practice at this point is to clip the receipt, address sticker, and any other information and store it in a file cabinet for six years (eleven if you want to be especially cautious). The only reason to clip and not just store the packaging is because no one who can't just buy a replacement has that much space even for folded-up packaging.
This is more burden than a consumer should rightfully have to take, but the vendor has the power.

Re: My Little Pony XCIX: Leakier Than A Changeling Bathtub!
*sigh*
Trip to Gardener's World was... Navigationally frought, due to Birmingham's constant need to have roadworks... And the trip back took two hours instead of one because they'd closed one major road (A38) and the other (M42) was slow moving because it had, like double the traffic. We'd been following the former route, but the diversion signs just vanished halfway through Burton and there was a lot of faff in navigating, even with the sat-nav...
Amazon has the advatage of everything being digital and having a good returns policy, which is why we use it for stuff like this. It just would have been a pain if we'd have to have sent it back with new packaging (there was no question on us getting a replacement).Last edited by Aotrs Commander; 2019-06-14 at 05:40 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XCIX: Leakier Than A Changeling Bathtub!
Spoiler: The Last CrusadeIt seems the Indiana Jones titles are indicative of quality. This was an absolutely fantastic episode. There's no good choice for Scootaloo, but in the end, its a sign of her (and the other crusaders) growing maturity in that her parents recognize her as somepony capable of making her own life choices and finding her own path. I also love how her dad is pony Steve Irwin. I was expecting RD to take her in at the end, which could've been a really adorable moment. 8/10, would watch again.

Re: My Little Pony XCIX: Leakier Than A Changeling Bathtub!
Spoiler: S9 E12So...we finally got Scootaparents.
Honestly, I found myself a little underwhelmed by this episode, and I think a large part of it was how the focus of the episode was on the hi-jinks to avoid Scootaloo leaving, rather than on the parents themselves. We already know that the CMCs have a close bond and will do just about anything to stay together, so having the episode focus on them robs it of a lot of what could have made it special. The best way to showcase this would be to look at another episode that introduced long awaited parents, The Perfect Pear. The focus on that episode was on the parents and how they had impacted the ponies around them, with the Apple siblings being more of a framing device than the actual focus. I think the episode would have been much stronger if it had mostly focused on Scootaloo's interactions with and connection to her parents, saving the reveal that they want her to move until closer to the end and leaving the CMC appreciation day as the only attempt to circumvent the move. You could have also used the event to greater highlight the parallels between Scootaloo and her work with the CMCs and the job her parents do.
That being said, I didn't think this was a bad episode, per se, just not as good as it could have been. It was nice to actually see Scootaloo's family, both her parents and aunts, and the ending made it a nice sendoff for the CMCs altogether. I'd give it a B overall as is, I just feel like with a few changes it could have been another A.
Spoiler: S9 E12The problem with there being no good choice for Scootaloo is that there's never any real tension as to what Scootaloo's choice will actually be. The "we're moving" bomb is dropped too early for Scootaloo and her parents to interact enough to establish a kind of bond that could seriously challenge Scootaloo's devotion to the CMCs and Scootaloo's immediate reaction to the news makes it clear that her choice, if she has any, is to stay in Ponyville with no real inner conflict.Last edited by Alabenson; 2019-06-15 at 11:22 AM.

Re: My Little Pony XCIX: Leakier Than A Changeling Bathtub!
Wasn't worth the wait.
Spoiler: S9 Ep 12 Last CrusadeNine seasons wondering if Scoots had parents and this is what we get for an episode about it? Just them showing up out of nowhere and declaring they're all moving? Yeah, no. My life would have been no worse off if this episode wasn't ever made. As Alabenson mentioned, there was no tension and the focus was on the CMC doing what we know they do. So little is said about the parents that they might as well have been background cameos for Mr. and Mrs. Crocodile Hunter.
Very underwhelming for me and the weakest of this season so far.

Re: My Little Pony XCIX: Leakier Than A Changeling Bathtub!
Spoiler: S9 E12While I certainly share your disappointment, I don't know that I'd call it the weakest episode so far (Uprooted still has that spot for me). While the reveal of Scootaloo's parents was a complete flop, the ending still served as a very nice summation of the good the CMCs have done since finding their purpose and served as an acceptable sendoff for them.
The episode's biggest problem was something that it shared with episode four, it just didn't nearly live up to its own potential.If brute force isn't working, that just means you're not using enough of it.

Re: My Little Pony XCIX: Leakier Than A Changeling Bathtub!
Spoiler: TimberHorse!
Spoiler: s9e12Oh, hay, we remembered the CMC exist! I mean, it's not like that they have been MAJOR CHARACTERS FOR THE LAST NINE SEASONS or anything...
Okay, so a for a moment, I actually thought they were going to do a She-Ra/Loud House on us. Then it was like "her parents are coming home" and I was *sigh*. (But I guess we should take the aunts being a couple as net positive regardless...)
To be fair, Pony Steve Irwin was a good choice I was prepared to forgive, until the kinda tiresome "we're moving, so either we aren't or we've writing Scoots out" plot.
But I'll still take CMC shanangians over NuSix any day of the weej, thanks.
Apparently, DT HAS now become completely mute, and that disappoints me greatly.
I mean, come on, like there is no potential plot with DT and Starlight not quite getting the hang of friendship together or something... (Huh, we could have had a "we're still sorta Evil" RD/Scoots dynamic or something, dammit.
Still, at least the CMC finally got an epsiode. Better not be the onyl one, else I shall be cross. They deserve better than that, and ought to ahve at LEAST the same amount as the new characters...
Also, I was deeply amused it was Scoots moving away, since Claire Corlett and Michelle Creber do those hilarious video together...
Anypony else notice the rather telling point Sweetie was like "Rarity won't mind," not "my parents won't mind..." Un huh, yeah, we know who is ACTUALLY doing the raising of Sweetie, don't we? (Considering they live in Ponyville, but they weren't AT the CMC appreication day, were they?)

Re: My Little Pony XCIX: Leakier Than A Changeling Bathtub!
thoughts as they come.
Spoiler: s9e12
i'm honestly disappointed Scoots isn't an orphan. does that make me a bad person?
Steve and Terri Irwin ponies? ... i'll take it! edit: just learned that Scoots mom is actually based on Jane Goodall. can't say i knew of her much myself, but yea. still cool!
oh hey, just noticed Steve is an Earth Pony. So Scoots is only HALF Pegasus. maybe that explains why she can't fly?
bit hasty with the "end of the CC" crying don't you think? i mean Babs is a CC too and she's in Manehatten isn't she? And Sweetie and Apple are both staying in Ponyville. couldn't they just keep the crusaders going there, and Scoots recruit new crusaders wherever she's going? i mean yeah, breaking up the original trio, but only into two groups, not three.
rainbow makes it worse
"never see her again". so be fair, they are children. buuut they DID say there was a train every month. so you'd still see her at least twelve times a year. :P
isn't the EvrerFree Forrest FULL of dangerous creatures? ... "super rare" animals i guess is the excuse.
i get the feeling they instantly know the "Evrefree beast" is fake and are just playing along to keep scoots happy :P
wen about as well as expected.
guess they weren't in on it. ohwell.
only three with the same cutiemark? i mean... 1. they're not even "the same", 2, i've seen at least four "hourglass" background ponies, 3, wasn't there that entire town... 4. that's oddly confusing. surely there are mutliple knot-tying ponies right? do they all just get different knots oorrr...?
dad gets it.
zecora potions. this won't go well.
inb4 chimera monster
okay, not chimera monster. just 10-legged footrace.
protest chains? really?
but... they already sold the house... aaand there goes the sign.
scoots got a point there.
ah yes, the old "run away from home" trick. 10% of the time, it works every time.
to be fair, i don't think you ever ASKED them to stay in ponyville...
not sure if their logic works like that.
Pinkie got busy i see.
i saw troubleshoes! going back, so's babs, the griffon, and some other ponies they've helped! cool!
even got the wonderbolts. swanky.
don't even give troubleshoes a speaking role. he was their biggest success in more ways then one! :P
so big he can't even keep his face in frame apparently.
yaaay happy ending!Last edited by Draconi Redfir; 2019-06-16 at 03:37 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XCIX: Leakier Than A Changeling Bathtub!
Given the fact that you never see SB's parents and Scoot's have been MIA for 8 seasons, you can call all three CMCs effective orphans.

Re: My Little Pony XCIX: Leakier Than A Changeling Bathtub!
yeah, but i'm talking like full on orphanage-orphan, or more preferably street-urchin orphan. Apple and Sweetie have their sisters taking care of them. i was always hoping Scoots either had nobody, or a somewhat uncaring orphanage matron. that might be a bit too dark for the show though.

Re: My Little Pony XCIX: Leakier Than A Changeling Bathtub!
But again,
Spoiler: s9e12it is very noticable that, when running off with Scoots, Sweetie is like "Rarity won't mind," which is so indicative of Sweetie's parent either being forever never around and/or that Rarity IS tacitly The Parent as far as Sweetie is (and maybe her actual parents, even, are) concerned...

Re: My Little Pony XCIX: Leakier Than A Changeling Bathtub!
Spoiler: S9 Ep12Sweetie Belle does think the world of her sister. It's equally possible she considers Rarity that important to be the top pony she'd name rather than her parents being neglectful. Her parents seems the laid back type, while Rarity is a worry-wart. So if Rarity is okay with something, it is likely SB's parents are too.

Re: My Little Pony XCIX: Leakier Than A Changeling Bathtub!
I ATEN'T DED
Though there have been time this past week when I almost wished I was.
After just about finishing up that last period of enforced rejuvenation, I had the misfortune to get on the wrong end of a plasma fire and have thus spent most of the past week even MORE incapacitated. (Though, at least I have managed to catch up on a huge amount of my unwatched film DVDs...) This is, in fact, the first time I have even been able to move to the idiot to even attempt anything.
As a matter of fact, we were supposed to be on holiday today, but we have already delayed a day, as Mum has been sick - Dad hass been having to do pretty much everything this week, and he's not well either; there's a chance we might have to delay again if he doesn't think he's up for the drive.
(Naturally, of course, this occurred after I had to commissions come in simultaneously...)
Only postive news is that Nanny has been on antibiotics and has perked up markedly, so there's that.
