Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
I asked Jayson after q&a about future pony holidays and his response was
"you ponies keep asking questions that I can't answer, have to watch the show."
So... That's a maybe."Winning with friendship means winning at life!"

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
Episode two opinion:
SpoilerMy opinion of this episode is similar to my opinion of the first episode of this season: The main plot isn't that great, but the characters and jokes make up for it. Some particular thoughts below:
*It still felt a little rushed, but nowhere near the level of the first part.
*Gamerlord to Luna, where are you?
*George Lucas called, he wants his ending back. And he wants his Force Choke back as well
*Who else wants to see an episode where Spike needs to recruit a temporary group of Elements after the girls get captured now?
*I wonder what sort of villains we will be seeing next, if we do see anymore...
*Now that I have seen both episodes, I feel Discord is more like Sheogorath then Q. Anyone else?Last edited by Gamerlord; 2011-09-24 at 12:25 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
Sweet! I love the fastened on cutie mark of the clock, and the feathers, and the accordion joint...
Awesome birthday present! Thank you!
I am going to need a name though...hmmm
My birthday request for a drawing; I've been wanting to see a clockwork pony for a while now.
General S2 stuff:
SpoilerI agree with the consensus: it did feel rushed. On the other hand, just like the first episode, once I got into it, I warmed up to it a lot.
THIS IS MY BOOK AND I'M GOING TO READ IT! - love it so much
Twilight's discording was actually pretty sad...
Poor sick Spike made me sad; I felt his pain.
I'm ok with the unicorn magic helping them recover, because it was at least implied that Twilight was helping them recall the good times, rather than just 'fixing' them.
Dat rock named Tom.
Balloon chase scene: Awesome! When Pinkie and Rarity got pulled out, I felt a genuine sense of danger, which was good.
Discord drinking milk was great; did anyone else notice that the glass filled from the top down?
Am I the only one that kind of liked the Star Wars reference? It was things like that that got me into the show in the first place...
S2:
SpoilerI agree that the color-recovery would have been better if they'd shown it for each of the ponies; and it would have been a nice way to recap S1.
That is indeed pretty awesome!This Machine Surrounds Hate And Forces It To Surrender

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
Season 2 episode 1 spoiler
SpoilerYes, and he didn't drink the milk. He drank the glass.
And I didn't mind the Star Wars-esque ending, and didn't really make a connection between the two when watching it. It was an appropriately fitting ending though, which is why I liked it.
Although looking back at the S1e2 ending next to the S2e2 ending, I can now see the Star Wars references there.
So, anyone else have a party member like this?

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
I have had such a situation happen, I still suffer from memories of Sir Stabhappy the Brave's.....antics. My brain went to red alert the moment I noticed his character's portrait was that of a crudely drawn stick figure caving in a goblin's skull. This was supposedly a Good Human Cleric of Pelor. The player personally wasn't that bad, he just went a little overboard with that particular character's
rampageantics.

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
Oh god. The barbarian in my campaign...the player is shooting for Chaotic Crazy and if it weren't for the fact that everyone else actually wants to do things, it would go you-know-where in a handbasket sooo quickly. Luckily, he seems to like protecting children, so guess who the cultists kidnap?

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
What is this, only three pages overnight on New Episode Day? That's almost ... reasonable.
Is it because everyone's off at BronyCon?
S2:E2:
SpoilerI"ll just echo what everyone else said: character gags were good, pacing was a bit rushed, Y U NO LUNA, Twilight solving a problem with magic should have been satisfying but instead felt cheap. Applejack's worked the best because we got to see how she reacted to realizing what she had done, followed by Rarity's for the "never again" joke (although I was expecting a callback to CMChronicles).
As for the ending, I for one loved it. Mostly because it played it to the hilt, copying the setting, musical tone, and all the little details like camera angles and character glances. I feel a little more justified in thinking S1E2's ending was a parody of Episode 1's ending.

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
Just caught S2E2 (surprisingly took a few searches to find a copy on Youtube).
SpoilerI enjoyed it. Aside from Twilight restoring her friends sans Rainbow Dash, the pacing was much better than in episode 1 (though in the end I think it would've been better as a three parter). I'd have liked there to be a more specific method of restoring the cast to normal than just "Twilight casts a spell" honestly, but this worked okay in that regard.
Plenty of great moments with the main cast, both discord-ed and regular. I expect we'll get a few new memes out of this episode.
Discord was friggin' awesome. I loved all the random crazy stuff he had going on, especially the incident at the end with his glass of chocolate milk. And Big Mac and Granny Smith. That's the kind of zany I love seeing out of these embodiment of chaos types. I'm gonna miss him.

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
On Season 2 Episode 2:
Spoiler
I really enjoyed it. The jokes kept on coming and I found myself physically laughing during many of the parts, which is a rarity (get it, see what I did there? ) for me.
My only problem was I disliked Discord's end. I was hoping the end would be something like an aesop on how too much order or too much chaos can be bad, but a balance of the two is necessary.

Spoiler
Yeah, that's what I was expecting. Wish it had gone down that way too, just so we could get a good OHSHI- look out of Discord before he got blasted.
S2
Spoiler
...Tom is now an adjective. It is the new way to say that something is worthless. That is all.
S2
Spoiler
I loved that part in the show. He just pops up and grabs Twilight and she doesn't even bother trying to get away, or even look concerned that the BBEG's waving her around.
S2
Spoiler
I'm going to agree with that. Him pouring a glass of chocolate milk while the heroes try to take him down wasn't much. Him drinking the glass instead of the milk was random and funny. The milk exploding was outright hilarious.
S2
Spoiler
Oh gods yes. It's hilarious because Spike actually makes a decent replacement Dash considering how loyal he is to Twilight despite getting knocked around all the time.
Alternatively, Spike throws a fit about feeling unappreciated and runs off to assemble his own Elements of Harmony just to show he can be as good as Twilight. Or something like that. Then he gets Trixie for the Element of Magic and some other ponies for the rest. Hmmm... Someone needs to write a fanfic for this now.
And random other things.
S2
Spoiler
Also: Ponythread! There is something I must do, but I need help! I need to figure out a good point anywhere in the show with Rainbow Dash and Spike together to get a screencap. Any ideas?

Ok, reread [some] of it, here are some thoughts:

For example, in the more recent quote, you say that she is “timidly sneaking up to a door”. Do we really need the “timidly” there to get that? We know she is sneaking, and we know that the rest of the family is watching her – giving her the morale support, and we also know from earlier in the story and this exact sentence that in terms of time of day, she is well out of her comfort zone.
Long story short, show, don’t tell. Adverbs are like salt and spices, you sprinkle it on and all is well, you empty the container and you end up with a mess.
Ok, heading out to hang with Ronin. I will say this, with some actual sleep under my belt I find myself getting interested in this. I see potential, but a bit of a lack of training. With everything, practice will straighten out those rough edges. Only really read up to the point I quoted, will finish the rest later.
