Wow. And EQLA would already have a stellar lineup of guests even without Lauren Faust. But now with her added to the guest list, holy crap. That's kind of insane.

Yes, "watching" would sound a little more natural. Or you could say "I plan to watch..." (if you haven't already started watching it); that would sound alright too. But other than that minor thing, your English is good. Good job!

Of course they're straight by default, this is a kid's cartoon. That's not homophobic in any way to say that. It's a sad fact about our culture. You can't just delude yourself to think that maybe Hasbro really does consider one or some of the ponies to be lesbian. As much as I would love two female ponies being in a relationship, with the way our culture and the cartoon industry is, you should pretty much assume a cartoon character to be straight if it's not otherwise stated. And that is if Hasbro has actually put any consideration to the ponies' sexuality at all other than Rarity and the few other ponies that have shown obvious attraction to males. If you're talking about head-canon, then yeah, you could think of them as having whatever sexuality you want. But in terms of actual canon and in terms of what Hasbro considers to be aspects of the characters, it is an extremely safe assumption that if they do have sexuality, they are straight.

I sure hope there's going to be a Pinkie Pie family Christmas episode. Would be amazing.

I like the episode for the most part but wish they had come up with a better excuse as to why there was a Tantabus thing trying to spread nightmares across Equestria instead of Luna just made it to punish herself. That was just kind of weird. Maybe they could have made it so Luna has nightmares every night because it's a byproduct of her removing or diminishing the nightmares of other ponies, and the negative energy of those nightmares has to go somewhere so it goes on to her. I think that would have been a better idea and would have made or even more of an admirable character, whereas giving yourself nightmares to punish yourself, that just makes me think of Luna as being masochistic or something. Then again, my idea wouldn't have been able to lead to the conclusion that they had so there wouldn't have been the part of Luna forgiving herself for turning into Nightmare Moon, which is actually a pretty good idea. But anyways, overall the episode was still decent. Not nearly as good as last week's episode or Slice of Life, but the surreal dream sequences were cool. Also giant Derpy was cute. Also MAGICAL GIRL PRINCESS BIG MAC TRANSFORMATION SEQUENCE BEST PART. But overall, I'd give the episode a 7/10.

"We need more Flutterbat. Hopefully tomorrow will be bat filled. Even though it has nothing to do with bats."
This is hilarious now in retrospect. Who knew Flutterbat actually would appear in the episode? lol

8 years ago @ Equestria Daily - Season Five Split Up, ... · 0 replies · +3 points

I know this is disappointing for a lot of people, but I think a lot of people also need to calm down about this. At least we're still getting more episodes! I know the end of the year is a long ways away, but personally, I feel like since I waited 11 months already, I'm kind of used to waiting. Then again, that might be because I joined the fandom a few months before that hiatus started, so most of my time in the fandom has been in waiting so that's probably why I'm used to it and this isn't so disappointing for me... But still, it's not like Season 5 is going to be short like Season 3! People are reacting to this like it's the end of the show or something. But hey, what would the brony fandom be if not the most overreacting, drama-filled fandom on the internet. Ah, well.

Wow. That's quite interesting. It's also crazy to think how close the show was to ending with Season 3. I am really grateful that the show did continue, obviously, but it does sound from the way Larson described his original script that it would have been a good ending. Especially with the book closing at the end (I hope they do this when the series does end!), and it being a two-parter, and Twilight doing something that even Celestia couldn't do. Would've been epic. Still, though, I love Magical Mystery Cure despite the odd pacing (which at least we now have an explanation for), and of course I'm super glad we get more pony episodes!

You certainly do have a point and, wow, that was a very insightful comment. Makes me wish even more that I had joined this fandom back in 2011/2012 instead of being completely oblivious to its existence until early 2014 when I did join. But yeah, I totally see what you're saying. Like, now a ton of animators and musicians and other content-creators are creating things with the intent of becoming popular or because so many other people are creating content and they want to join in on it, as opposed to people spontaneously creating stuff just for the hek of it. And now you see stuff like animations that are actually decently good but get criticized and dismissed for being not that good because the fandom's standards have been raised so high by the really high quality animations, which is kind of sad. And I wish very much that I could have been in the fandom when things were being created far more spontaneously and, as you said, "organically." But alas... time has passed, and things have changed. As they always do.... And I must come to accept it. As must we all....
