    As a New Year's treat to myself, (and also because that date ended my self-imposed cartoon episode embargo) I have started watching Season 9 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic with The Beginning of the End and Uprooted. Like with Seasons 7 and 8, I had a very clear preference out of the first two episodes. I saw The Beginning of the End as a solid two-parter, especially brought up by Discord's role being executed excellently, and most other aspects being good except I didn't like that Twilight regressed into her earlier seasons freaking out motions in some scenes. However it wasn't quite as good as the best season openers (The Return of Harmony and The Cutie Map). I saw Uprooted as forgettable at best though due to it being extremely similar to the disagreement plot of rebuilding a destroyed monument Castle Sweet Castle had, except with the Student Six instead of the Mane Six. While not degrading exactly or the worst episode I've newly seen this decade, I'd recommend seeing or reseeing Castle Sweet Castle first to see the major retreads it has. Twilight freaks out in it too so this episode isn't even an edge in her characterization.

    I'm not sure when I'm going to start Season 9, Shadow Prince. Right now, I'm busy researching Cinnamoroll and SSC for my next Car Wash arc, so I have lots of media to go through at the moment. It's best not to rush me towards that deadline, but I hope I don't forget about it sooner or later…

    Oh yeah don't rush starting Season 9, it sucks the fun out when you feel you should watch something instead of that you want to watch it. The July 25th extension likely wouldn't be a good time anyhow now that I'm going to Ireland with my dad for a pretty long time in later July, so I'll probably PM you soon for what a good third extension would be especially since it seems both of us would benefit from it right now.
    Outage meant I stopped work early. Not a fan of less pay, but at least I only had to leave 1 1/2 hours before.

    Considering it's nearing the end of this year, I'd say the first three years of this decade have been pretty good for me so far (certainly better than 2017-2019). I've done some good work in my personal life including picking up trash, and my petsitting and bus boy jobs, and some good work on the community including pushing for more creator say in images for the front page poll, voicing my thoughts on FA nominations, and making minor edits on pages. Only gonna go up from here.

    I don't consider pushing for "more creator say in the poll images" as a positive.

    I mean giving poll creators many attempts to select an appropriate image, not automatically accepting any image creators want

    Noooo he IS in the case (concededly in its credits) ☠

    Anyhow I'm really looking forward to Trials and Tribulations as I'm really interested in four out of five of the game's cases (though to be fair, the one I'm not quite as interested in is the one I've already heard most people see as its worst case, though I'm sure seeing Maggey return will be cool)
    I rewatched my Top 5 of MLP Season 8 yesterday, to determine which episode in it was best. My favorite episode of Season 8 is… a shocking upset for The Hearth's Warming Club! I felt more positively towards a majority of the stories, especially the ones I already liked, upon rewatch, but I found more redeeming value even in the two weaker ones.

    A lot of why it's my favorite episode of the season though has to do with personal reasons, namely finding out
    why Gallus did it
    but I plan to give more detailed thoughts on the episode especially that section bringing it to #1 later on.

    Would you rather be hypnotized into buying a costly NFT, or not be able to watch any YouTube videos not related to Hotel Mario for 15 years

    The latter, since at least I can somewhat tolerate Hotel Mario. I would never buy an NFT.
    I finished Season 8 of Friendship is Magic a minute or two ago. Definitely my least favorite season of it so far.

    My least favorite is A Matter of Principals, but each of my Top 5 of Season 8 shine in different ways, so I'll probably rewatch all of them to get a definite order. I'm gonna take a decently long break before starting on Season 9 though.

    I just finished watching Season 8. The finale was just ok. I never watched Tirac's debut episodes, so I wasn't too familiar with him, but it was shocking to learn that he and Cozy had become pen pals with each-other behind the scenes. I was also happy that Neighsay finally accepted the school into the EEA after learning his lesson from the Young Six. But other than that, this finale and the season overall was quite lackluster for me. There were some good episodes, but only a few that were anything past that score. My least favorite episode is probably Non-Complete Clause, and my favorite is a tie between What Lies Beneath and Sounds of Silence.

    What Lies Beneath and Sounds of Silence are two of the episodes in my Top 5 (And I watched both of them during the same day, yay!) but I personally see A Matter of Principals as worse than Non-Compete Clause because episodes with out of character problems tend to really have my dislike for them amplified when it's my favorite character of the show hit with the OOC problems, especially since
    that you're supposed to see it as wrong that Starlight is so harsh towards Discord is idiotic because some of Discord's pranks cross the line from just being a normal level troll and hit mortally dangerous levels
    But while I wouldn't say I'm massive on Season 8, the good news is that each of the first seven seasons of the show I felt at least some levels of net positivity towards, it's just this one that's really mediocre. Out of the two cartoon seasons I've watched that I didn't like, I'd still say it's better than Book 2 of The Legend of Korra because I at least liked some of its episodes, whereas with Korra Book 2 I disliked every episode except Beginnings.
