New episode announced - confirmed two weeks without ponies.

Spoiler: show
Title: Family Appreciation Day

Synopsis: “Apple Bloom doesn't want Granny Smith to embarrass her by speaking in her class."


Air date: January 7, 2012, 15:00 UTC (10 a.m. EST) (time not confirmed)


Well folks, the Great Pony Drought looks like it's going to continue. And on top of that, we get two weeks without ponies Looks like next weeks episode will be the last for 2011.

Spoiler: show
Upon seeing the title, I had hoped that this would be the episode in which we finally get to meet other pony families--- namely Fluttershy and Dashie--- but I suppose not.

It's okay, Granny Smith makes everything better.

edit: This is so precious

Alright everypony! Today's episode predictions!

Will there be a song?
Who do you think will have prominent role(s)?
Will there be any permanent changes to Spike?
Will Spike invite Twilight to his birthday party even though she didn't invite him to hers?
Will Zecora make an appearance?
Will Spike have a moment with Rarity?

-As amazing as a Spike song would be, I doubt it.
-Twilight and Fluttershy. I hope we get Fluttershy.
-I WISH Spike would grow and change, just because it would establish more chronology into the series, and it would be really awesome to have slightly older, more spunky and hardheaded spike.
-He shouldn't but he will.
-ZECORA. CALLING IT NOW.
-Yes.


Also, want to bring up a topic of discussion I was having with someone on r/mylittlepony...

Here's what they said:

Quote:
The creators are seriously showing that they can't really work without Faust.

Remember all the episodes with a slight focus on one character, but plenty of great moments for the rest of the mane 6? Now it's apparently necessary to tunnelvision highly on one or two characters.

Also, the episode choices are really weird. We're now halfway in and AJ, Fluttershy and Pinkie haven't gotten squat, while Applebloom has two episodes.

Something really weird is going on in Studio B.
This view may be a little extreme, in my opinion, but they make a good point. The show is becoming too character centric each episode with light appearances from supporting characters in the background. In Season 1, we had a majority of episodes that focused on one character slightly, and the rest as prominent background characters. It's a complete reverse this season in terms of focus, and I do hope that we will have a change.

They've now had 12 episodes (2 not yet seen). In that 12 we have: 3 everyone episodes, 1 Twilight episode, 2 Apple Bloom episodes, 2 Rarity episodes, 2 Rainbow Dash episodes, 1 Spike episode, and one that we aren't sure of, although I suppose it could be an everyone episode (I'm talking about next week's episode).

In the episodes that were character centric, there was VERY light influence from anyone else. It's okay, but I feel like the dynamics between ponies isn't working as well... I don't know.

Spoiler: show
I didn't want to admit it, and I even have trouble doing so now, but I'm sincerely worried this show was more influenced by Lauren Faust than I previously thought. I wish she would come back.

Classic.

EDIT: Good ep, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Good call on Zecora, deoxys.

Lauren Faust, you rock. <3

Also, amazingly great episode. I was worried that the Spike Grows Up thing was gonna suck but it was actually pretty awesome. First like legitimately intense episode in a loooong time.

And I'm so happy Pinkie and Zecora are getting used so much <3. I mean, I really want another Pinkie-centric episode, but I can live with what we've been getting with all these awesome one-liners.

"Getting Lauren Faust's autograph" just jumped to the top of my to-hopefully-do-when-older, ahead of "Get a successful law career" and "Get a pet dog."

Don't know if anyone else noticed, because I missed it

We've all noticed that when Spike recalls giving the Fire Ruby to Rarity, he flips it over and it represents his heart. But what I found more interesting in that scene was how Spike changed what he said.

The first time, Spike said, "Then you should have it. This beautiful gem was meant to be with you."

But in his recollection, Spike says, "Here Rarity, you take it. It would mean even more to see you happy then to eat it myself."

Isn't it?!!?


I was thinking about it guys, how would people feel about me doing a pony stream like once a week for an hour or something? We can take votes on what episodes to watch and watch them together, or we can just start from the beginning or something... if you guys wanted to, that is. I just thought maybe it would be cool to have a group watching and discussing or something!

Also, we could maybe start at the beginning and anyone who may lurk in here who's ever considered giving the show a try could start with a group watching session!

That would be a fun way for me to get off my ass and watch more episodes.

Also I'm totally imagining deoxys playing with that Pinkie Pie carriage and making "vroom vroom" sounds

Awesome, I have no problem setting up a time and day to do this maybe once or twice a week. I'd love to stream and watch with UPNers who may want to give the show a try and we can hang out and chat and such with older bronies as well. Just let me know what time zones you are all in and what times and days in those time zones you can do, and I'll figure something out.

I would so be down with this if my computer/connection can handle it / I'm not working/sleeping.

I'm in Britland (so GMT=0) and have absolutely no time or day preference (except for not in the middle of the night) since I never know what shift I'm working from one week to the next.

We can always do twice a week at different times to give everyone a chance if need be. I'm excited at the thought of this.

I'm done with work from 10:30 pm at the very latest (and that's rare), so a stream sometime between then and like 2 am is fine any day, just depends on if I have an early start the next day or not.

But same here, this should be a cool little system.
