He was never meant to spearhead his own episodes because it just clashes with how we've seen him act before. He doesn't have the presence to carry an episode without a lot of help from the "terrible" jokes department and a lot of existential angst. Spike episodes are usually met with mixed reviews because there's no real clear goal for Spike to attain. And sadly in this show there just isn't enough room for a mere side character like Spike to properly develop into an adult. Now that they've joined the concept of Spike's growth = greed (from his Spikezilla episode) They've essentially killed his development stone dead ages ago. Personally, If I could make the decision I'd write him out of the show entirely. Just toss him into Dragon college in some far off continent, or turn him into a villain already. He'd make a great villain, every one of the mane six has treated him like trash from the get go. His own achievements are ignored by most ponies, even Twilight sometimes. What few achievements he has...I mean even his fantastic organisation skills and assistance to Twilight have been rewritten as Spike being clutzy/selfish. No offence meant to Spike fans...if those still even exist anymore. :/ Tue, 30 Jun 2015 21:29:08 +0000 http://www.equestriadaily.com/2015/06/discussion-how-would-you-write-spike.html#IDComment981851825 http://www.equestriadaily.com/2015/05/winter-is-coming-shirt-gets-dmca-notice.html#IDComment969073108 Brace yourselves Litigation is coming.

It inevitably isolates the people who also need help but don't have the "social" attachments to get anyone to notice them. I love EqD I really do, but sometimes I have to question the wisdom behind posting things like this. Goodness knows there's probably thousands of people also worthy of getting an extra thousand dollars or so but will they get personal fundraisers in support of them? Hell no. Why? Because it's not news if someone with a medical condition needs better facilities, it is news when it's something flashy like someone getting involved in a hit and run or a convention stranding the attendees. This inclusion of real life news has it's advantages but also runs significantly higher risks due to the subject matter not being animated colours moving across a screen but real people.

You can't just tell people to be nice after you go and claim things like "A lot of these guys nitpick stuff that makes me wonder if they have even been watching the same show as the rest of us for the past few years." I mean seriously? Would you post some songs and say "well jeez some musicians could learn a thing or two about mixing I mean do they think they're professional or something? but ignore the scrubs and enjoy the good stuff". The kind of reaction you'll get to your posts will be affected by what you say.

I can't help but wonder if this chick knows someone at EqD and needed to make a quick buck.

What was once a fun activity that their volunteers delighted in eventually became a chore. People have other interests and projects they want to do. It says as much in the announcement "I want to stress that this decision was in no way based on any drama, financial concern, or other conspiracy, but instead it reflects our collective need for the time and energy to focus on newer, bigger, and better projects." I'll be sad to see them go, I enjoyed their episode reviews quite a lot and it'll be hard to find other good reviewers :( Sat, 13 Dec 2014 04:39:00 +0000 http://www.equestriadaily.com/2014/12/everfree-network-shutting-down.html#IDComment928074228 http://www.equestriadaily.com/2014/10/blog-post_30.html#IDComment900671424 You mean Internet Exploder.

I don't even. "Scandal! BlackGryph0n divorces Shining Armor as their waifu, Babs Seed fans enraged." wat "Dusty Katt suspected of using pirated cease and desist, as reported by WTVY This Morning." Why would you even pirate a cease and desist? I don't...

The characters are wonderfully realised and the setting is suitably grim for a dark/comedic noir story. The writer is very friendly and in touch with the readers and i've yet to read a bad chapter.

My how things have changed since then, I admit I do have rose tinted glasses when I think back to season 2, I can't help but remember all the crazy weird things that were happening as MLP was flooding through the internet. Thinking back to the earlier fan works from then too like FoE, SoGreatandpowerful's music and the start of the big PMVs by Mandarinorange and Shiropoint not to mention the first anthology. Chatting on the pony chats about pony, playing minecraft with pony skins and all that jazz. Watching the newer episodes in Season 4 I feel like the writers are doing a fine job keeping true to the themes of the show while still expanding on other things a bit. Curious to see what's in the Maguffin from the start of the season. Although I'm not feeling as involved with the fandom in this season. Maybe that's my fault, maybe i'm just fickle or maybe it's something else entirely. I don't know what will happen in the future but I hope i'll be there to enjoy it with bronies and ponies.

While I do keep in touch with the basic themes of the recent episodes i'm not nearly as immersed as I used to be. Still have a song in the works, working on the visuals for it is taking me a considerable amount of time but I hope to have it done before the end of this month at least.

The rest of the episode okay but I couldn't help but notice yet again the "villain" in this didn't get their comeuppance. Well at least her assistant got a new job. :/ I didn't really like Manehatten, it didn't feel like equestria to me, although the "taxi's" were a nice touch. All the huge skyscrapers just looked weird and blocky in comparison to Canterlot with it's elegant architecture. Not bad but not great either.
