Oh right, these Directs normally have new char reveals don’t they? Hyyyyyyype c:
I don’t think Rool has much of a chance not being in DKCR TF, but Dixie, yeah. And what about…..Cranky? xDThere’s also rumor’s of Diddy and Dixie being a tag team similar to Ice Climbers this time around too xP
Diddy and Dixie as tag team? That would be cool. .3.
And Krool’s owned by Rare. Nintendo can’t use him.
Not true

((Click here for my thoughts on Simple Ways ^^))
I think I just got dai beet ez from this one. I’ve always loved the characterization of the Twi and Spike in this blog. it’s heartwarming, wiser than you’d expect, and actually deeper than most.
Mod of the blog here. Thank you for the nice compliment on how I characterize Twilight & Spike, it makes me smile knowing other people enjoy the interpretation I included in this blog ^^
We’re halfway through the Season! And I can safely say, we have a 12 out of 13 streak of enjoyable episodes.
Now this wasn’t the most amazing episode. But that’s not what I was expecting anyway. My expectations were set at something around Hearts and Hooves Day. An episode that also liked Simple Ways had Romance as part of it’s humor that I enjoyed quite a bit actually.
And… I think it delivered spectacularly. I surely hope that among people who may not like the episode is just because it has one of the main characters fawn over a new Male character (AKA one of the first reasons, but definitely not the only one people like I don’t like Flash Sentry’s place in Equestria Girls). It works this time because Rarity having dreams of settling down with a certain stallion is in-character for her. We saw Rarity really want Prince Blueblood back in Season 1 before he turned out to be a jerk. Rarity is the romantic type. Flash Sentry was there just to be there and the story would have barely changed if he had not been in the movie in the first place. While Trenderhoof in Simple Ways was plot relevant and actually had a notable personality and background.
(Oh and speaking of the whole Flash Sentry thing. Another scratch against EqG’s canonicity. Twilight’s the one that notices Rarity has a crush. And nopony calls her out on that and refers to Flash Sentry. Hehe.)
This episode just has really good dialogue and character related jokes. If some are turned off by the premise, I could understand why people may not like this episode as much. But I’m not the biggest romance fan in the world. Yet I enjoyed Hearts and Hooves Day and this one as well for similar reasons: they were hilarious. I could see Rarity saying “I LOVE BEING COVERED IN MUD” being the line of the episode that makes me laugh no matter how many times I see it much like “OH COME ON!” from Hearts and Hooves Day. Crazy Rarity was just amazing, and Applejack shrugging off Trenderhoof while managing to help Rarity at the end really was nice to see.
Romance at all being a part of an episode is going to be put under very subjective opinions. Some people will probably hate this episode for the premise alone. Love Triangles like this kinda ruined some things about the first season of Legend of Korra where the Love Triangle would begin and annoyingly be brought up again to make viewers cringe. But this is Friendship is Magic, where not a lot of things are changed immediately that affect future episodes (There are obvious exceptions of course however). So I don’t think we’ll be seeing Trenderhoof for a while now for example. People could choose to bypass this episode and it wouldn’t really come up again in later episodes. But regardless, I liked the episode for what it’s focus really was on: The humor of Rarity trying to act like Applejack, and many of the jokes as a result of character interaction (Ex: Spike’s face when Rarity mentions how she can’t handle “Liking someone when that someone likes someone else already). A lot of what happens in the episode makes sense, the humor was masterfully done. Great performance by Tabitha in her voicework in the episode. A nice and funny episode to get to the halfway mark of the Season. We’re halfway though the season, and another 13 to go. The next 13 will really have to screw up big time for this to not be the best Season now as we have our best 13 episode stretch of the series so far.
YES SAKURAI! WHO!? WHO ARE YOU MAKING THIS GAME FOR!? I SEE YOUR CANINE-IST AGENDA AND I WILL NOT STAND FOR IT, SIR!
Which would be ironic considering Sonic lately has been more Nintendo then Sony xD
PFFFT. That’s perfect. XD
And yeah, Sonic’s becoming more of Nintendo’s property than Sega’s at this point.
To be fair though, there is an untitled Sonic game coming out in 2015 that will be on the Wii U, PS4, and Xbox One that was announced recently.

I loved this episode
Really
Really
REALLY loved it.
Best episode since the opener for sure. And the best Pinkie episode of the series. This episode manages to fix what Friend in Deed did wrong. Friend in Deed had the Smile song, but that was literally the only highlight of the episode. Smile, Smile, Smile represented Pinkie for who she really is but the rest of the episode had her annoy the heck out of a character that didn’t want to be bothered. But this episode is so filled with positivity and fun moments as if they took what Smile, Smile, Smile represents to Pinkie Pie and managed to remember how it represented her well, and filled an entire episode with it.
This is the Pinkie we know and love. She’s not always the best character in every single episode. Heck she was pretty flat in the previous episode Three’s a Crowd where she can be carried away from her friends by a simple balloon or she gets overexcited for used furniture. But Pinkie Pride shows clearly why people love Pinkie Pie. This is Pinkie Pie’s equivalent to Hurricane Fluttershy for Fluttershy. In case you’re not familiar with how I thought about Hurricane Fluttershy. I praise it as one of the best of the series. In fact this is the first non-Twilight centered episode I’d say are among my favorites ever since Hurricane Fluttershy itself (My favorite episodes of the series are: Cutie Mark Chronicles, Lesson Zero, Hurricane Fluttershy, Canterlot Wedding, Magic Duel, Magical Mystery Cure, Princess Twilight Sparkle, and now Pinkie Pride is on that list). That should be quite a compliment for this episode already.
Weird Al Yankovic did an amazing job performing in this episode. He felt very natural, he didn’t take the entire spotlight, and his character is one of the best one-shot characters in the show. I must give kudos to him and the staff for managing to bring him in for a very memorable appearance. Additionally, I can see Cheese Sandwich X Pinkie Pie becoming one of the most popular Pinkie Pie ships out there. Both characters played off each other very well, and the fact Pinkie was the reason he became a Party Pony traveler in the first place should be all that people need to ship them more then most ships, even more so then some of the Main 6 only combination ships. Also I’m personally dubbing the name of the ship Pizza. Since that’s essentially what a “Cheese Pie” is. Maybe it’s a tad unorthodox and some people would rather go for something like “Cheesie” or “Pinkieese”. But Pinkie and Cheese Sandwich themselves are rather strange, I think a ship between them deserves more then the usual portmanteau shipping names.
We now even have half of the Rainbow keys now and still have another half a season to go. Oh my gosh, I think I’m falling in love with this season so, so much. It has surpassed Season 3 already methinks in terms of the overall sense (Though I’m hoping to have at least one or two more truly great episodes like the Opener and this one) and I think right now it might even be almost better then the first season was already. And at the rate it’s going. It will even surpass Season 2, my current favorite of the show. I just have no words for how things are going right now.
Also just like Magical Mystery Cure, this episode seems to make me always smile by the end of the episode. Is it just because they managed to make another musical that’s really full of positivity? My favorite song is probably Pinkie’s Lament. It’s funny though, my favorite songs from both Musical episodes seems to be the sad ones. As I liked I’ve Got to Find A Way the most from MMC as well, Celestia’s Ballad also kinda counts as a tear jerker and I loved that one too. But more of a Tears of Joy kind of thing.
Agggghhhhh, I just love this episode to pieces! I think I said all I really could. Pinkie Pride provides an example of why I love this show so much when it is at it’s best. My favorite part of Pinkie’s Lament that always managed to give me a chill illustrates exactly what this episode did. “They love seeing me, the Real Pinkie. Show them the time of their life, like they’ve never known!”. As this episode did show the real Pinkie Pie and gave us one heck of an episode. I must give all the kudos to everyone who worked to make this episode. Very much well done from the higher-ups like Meghan and Jayson, to the many animators and storyboard artists, and of course Daniel Ingram, Amy Keating Rodgers & Weird Al Yankovic for providing another great musical episode.
