The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

You know something I realized?

We've never really seen Applejack or Fluttershy interact with each other. I think there was a scene in Swarm of the Century where AJ called Fluttershy's name but that was it. We've seen the rest of the Mane Six interact with each other outside of their group(Twilight with Rarity, Rainbow Dash with AJ, Fluttershy with Pinkie, etc.) but never those two.

I hope we get an Applejack/Fluttershy episode in season four. Be interesting to see how their characters work together.

I must say, the My Little Pony craze is sweeping through the internet like a plague.  I can't go anywhere without someone screaming "ooh, My Little Pony!  My Little Pony!"  So despite my better judgement, I decided to download the series.  I must say, It's not what I expected it to be.  The stories are actually....not that bad.  The animation makes me sick to my stomach and I can barely watch it, but I'm beginning to kind of appreciate the characters in a strange, twisted sort of way.  

My Little Pony is compelling in the same way you can't help but look when an old naked guy starts running down the street.  You don't want to look but you just can't help yourself.  There are times when I can get past the animation, but only for an instant.  Then I'm snapped back into reality and get that kind of sick feeling.  My Little Pony is like being really REALLY hungry and eating a shitload of cake.  You're starving so you can't help but eat, but unfortunately the stomach pains after eating are almost as bad as starving.  

So will I ever like My Little Pony?  Doubtful.  But will I watch it?  Yes.  I just can't help myself - especially when the entire series is just sitting there on my hard drive taunting me and I just wasted 34GB of bandwidth downloading it (this includes seeding).  I'm not against little kid shows.  Hell, I even like Dragon Tales.  But My Little Pony is just......sickening and compelling at the same time.  It's very strange.
I don't normally quote myself, but I had a look back at my first posts about the show and boy have I changed.  It really did take a lot for me to like this show.  And now I absolutely ADORE it!  I think my resistance to it was so strong because I'm such a "manly" guy.  There is literally NOTHING about me that's feminine in any way shape or form.  Not to say I don't respect and like the fairer sex.  I'm just saying it's not me.  And it took a lot for me to like this show.  But I'm glad that I was "man" enough to like it.  Your masculinity isn't defined by what you watch, but how you live your life.

...Huh. Can't believe I didn't remember that.

What I meant though was like an episode centered around the two of them. We've had episodes with Rarity/Fluttershy, Twilight/Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy/Rainbow Dash, Rarity/Applejack, etc.

I may not post here very often, but since I'm the resident Bionicle fan, I just have to point out this thing I found just over an hour ago.
(ugh, nothing is working, and I don't know the original source of the image)
Yeah, the bronies on BZPower still talk about how Shining Armor has the same exact voice as Jaller. :lol:  If I ever get around to actually watching this show, I'll let you know if it's true.

I don't know any specific clip, but I'm sure if you go to YouTube and search "Bionicle Mask of Light" (the only Bionicle movie he has a significant speaking role), you'll likely find something to help you answer that question.

As for that image, I'll just link to that topic on BZPower where I found the link to that image. (One post near the bottom of the page has links to a lot of MLP crossover fanart, and the one I wanted to share is the third one in the Bionicle section.)

in an event advertised as The Hub's My Little Pony Princess Coronation; "Princess Coronation" isn't necessarily the title of the episode itself

REVIEW POST WITH SPOILERS!

I predicted from the start that this episode would be the biggest risk on Hasbro's side and the most controversial on the fan side.  So far, I've been right with the former, and I won't be surprised if I'm right with the latter.

The truth of the matter is that none of the audience is willing to give a God of Chaos a chance.  However, neither were Fluttershy's friends, and giving what they went through in Return of Harmony, I don't blame them.  I wasn't willing to give him a chance either. ;)

Oh, and we do get to see "The Stare" again.  However, it doesn't work on Discord.  He just pretended to be effected by it and then laughed at her feeble attempt.  Yeah, typical Discord for ya there! :lol: (Yeah, you are given no doubts that he's the real Discord at the beginning of the episode.)

Through the episode however, Fluttershy opens up to Discord and allows him a chance to be her friend, which apparently was something Discord needed all along.  Yeah, this is something we can come to expect from a show that puts so much emphasis on friendship. :rolleyes:

I must also point out that at the beginning of the episode, he did alter the minds of a bunch of beavers secretly.  It becomes important later in the episode.  Oh, and beavers tend to swear on a regular basis.  At least it's in a language only Fluttershy can understand so the writers can get away with it. :D

The writers in the end make Discord's reformation seem like an act to the audience, but that is far from the truth.  The fact is, he is actually touched by the idea of someone willing to be his friend.  However, when his earlier act causes problems he plays with it, thus making things worse, and it nearly costs him his friendship with Fluttershy.  Seeing the importance of it, (and that he's been "troll-bested") he fixes everything and swears to use his powers for good from now on.

However, don't think he gets off scoot-free.  Celestia doesn't fully trust him and has the mane six keep The Elements of Harmony, just in case. ;)

So in the end, this is a like it or hate it episode.  In truth, I liked it.  It was an enjoyable episode.  It really does keep to Discord's character and also opens up more about him.  On top of that, it's just a lot of fun to watch Discord play with everyone's minds up to the end.

This will be a controversial episode, no question asked.  I won't be surprised if there will be fans spewing out their hate for it for months to come.  At least they find something else to fuel their complaints.  Trust me, that's coming. ;)

Still, give this a chance, keep an open mind and know what to expect from the series, and you might actually find yourself enjoying this one.  Then again, that's just what I did.  Might not work for you, but you can try it. ;)

Anyways, that's all from me!  Next up, the episode post!

See ya later! :wave
