    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

    Entirely possible - like I said, it's not that is inherently terrible, and they could potentially do interesting things with that development in season four. But the episode as it stands is awful, and merely being well followed up on wouldn't actually make this episode better in retrospect...

    My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

    ...so I guess I'm the only one who's thinking this is a strong contender for the show jumping the shark?

    My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

    Am I the only person who finds baby ponies really creepy-looking? That Applejack will give me nightmares. She wants to eat my soul. ;_; (They're adorable once they're the Cutie Mark Crusaders' age, though.)

    My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

    The songs felt really pointless in this episode - like they were just like "Okay, we have to have songs in the season opener". And yeah, King Sombra was fairly boring - didn't do much of anything, really. My favorite part was actually the design of the jousting helmets.

    My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

    I guess I just... don't really expect this show to have believable dialogue or multidimensional characterization or complex morality. I don't even mean that in the sneering low-expectations sense; I just don't think it's that kind of show. It's a silly cartoon about ponies where each episode...

    My Little Dashie didn't really do much for me.

    My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

    Awesome episode, possibly my second favorite after Dog and Pony Show.

    My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

    Also, it was one of the show's funnier episodes in my opinion, and since I'm mostly watching for the humour, that's a big plus for me. So yeah, it ranks pretty up there as far as I'm concerned.

    My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

    By the way, am I the only person who has noticed the way that season two kind of completely did away with Lauren Faust's "ponies should be ponies, we'll not pretend that hooves can be hands" thing? Season one pretty diligently made the ponies carry things in their mouths when they had to and...

    My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

    But the baby ponies were, like, the antithesis of cute. This episode was a great demonstration of why I want babies to stay far away from me. Too bad such episodes always end with "aww but they're SO CUTE so who cares about the nightmare they make of your life!"

    My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

    Don't be put off if you're kind of meh about the pilot two-parter, though - the rest of the show is pretty much completely different. It's good to start there anyway, but it's not very representative of what the show is generally like (in particular, the really blatant eigen plot-ness is...

    My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

    Were you really expecting a serious mystery around it, honestly? While this show is definitely funny and entertaining, it's not a pinnacle of any kind of serious storytelling - if the plots aren't wholly predictable, it's because they twist things humourously from what you expected, not because...
