Kimi Sparkle, the only Pegasister reviewer, gives a spot-on review of the episodes Read It and Weep!

Spoiler

So this is meant to be a parody of the FiM reviewers out there? That's cool, fun times! I usually hate these kinds of parodies, because they always make it seem like the reviewers are either wasting their time or "ruining" the show by making it less fun, which is kind of unfair, because this IS how we enjoy the show, and we're just sharing our enjoyment of the show through this unique way. Also, I totally did not get the jab at Gravity Falls at all, but I loved it anyway! It's also a nice "Take That" towards the idiots who try and "call out" "fake geek girls" and whatnot.

 

[Kyoko Sakura]

lol I thought it was serious at first

 

[SonicMario]

We don't have the synopsis yet. But if you saw the Season 4 promos we can figure what it's generally about.

Spoiler: S4E5

Seriously, going by what we know of the first two episodes...

Spoiler: Season 4 Spoilers

The first two episodes will establish how Princess Twilight's going to go
The 3rd episode possibly covering Twilight's living space
The 4th possibly showing that Twilight's Mother is the author of the Daring Do series
And this one covering on Scootaloo's inability to fly very well

This could very well be the most interesting start to the season the show has had. The potential's there for this to be the best season yet.

 

[Nabber]

Spoiler

calling it now, Twilight teaches Scootaloo how to fly

 

[Shyghoul]

Spoiler

isn't the reason Scootaloo can't fly is because her wings are messed up or something though?

Spoiler

that's just fanon, as far as I know. i believe the producers only said scoots couldn't fly.

 

[Magikrazy]

Maybe Scoots should take Fly-agra.

 

[DragonFreak]

Oh God, that's terrible. But once again, I laughed at it.

 

[Toad Eightyfive]

Maybe Scoots should take Fly-agra.

do not take fly-agra if you are taking nitrates for chest pain, as this may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure.

to avoid serious injury, seek medical help for a high-altitude flight lasting longer than four hours.

ask your doctor if fly-agra is right for you.

 

[Magikrazy]

I hope that becomes a meme.

 

[Occasionally Returns]

New season on saturday. I could make a drinking game out of the amount of times that the characters comically spin and/or make derpy-like faces.

 

[DragonFreak]

I know. I'm so psyched that my mental state can't contain itself.

 

[SonicMario]

Tonight, I see the final episodes of Korra. And will be dwelling a bit on how I felt about the 2nd season of that show for a little bit. But once that's over and after a good sleep. I'll wake up in full "PONIES PONIES PONIES" mode.

Seriously hyped for this season to begin. I think it has the potential to be the best Season yet.

 

[DragonFreak]

I'm so excited. Can't you hear my fangirlish scream? Now all I have to do is find a way to ditch my family long enough to watch it. This would be much easier if it was on a Sunday than a Saturday.

 

[SonicMario]

[DragonFreak]

I'm really looking foreward to episodes 4 and 6. They're both sequel episodes, both of which are one of my favorites.

Episode 6 is a sequel episode? How's that?

 

[DragonFreak]

............It's not. I made a mistake in saying that I just realized. I'm not sure what I was thinking.

 

[SonicMario]

............It's not. I made a mistake in saying that I just realized. I'm not sure what I was thinking.

Well anyway, you are right about Episode 4 though. It is definitely a sequel of sorts to Read It and Weep. I just hope that the character hinted at in the comics to be is the actual author for Daring Do.

In case this is true. Spoiler warning.

Spoiler: Possible Author of Daring Do

The comics hinted that Twilight's Mother is the author of Daring do

 

[DragonFreak]

That would be pretty cool though.

So Meghan McCarthy's taking over The Hub's Twitter or whatever. I don't use Twitter, but she's saying a lot of interesting things there. Including:

https://twitter.com/HubTVNetwork

Spoiler

"The CMCs get to sing and be completely adorkable in #MLPseason4"
Well, they were adorable in Hearts and Hooves Day, so I think it's a fair bet to see them be cute here.
"Spike definitely brings the funny this season courtesy of some amazing voice work by @CathyWeseluck"
Last time Spike was "funny", it painted him as a greedy prick with everyone crapping on him and him not getting his way in the end. Yeah, not sure how to feel about this, though Cathy Weseluck is awesome.
"Shout-out to @TheBiggestJim new co-director for #MLPseason4"
Apparently, this guy was a story boarder previous seasons. It's actually quite common, I've noticed, for certain storyboard artists to be put in the director's chair, or even have their own shows. Hell, Lauren Faust was the same way with this show, at first.
"Any Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo fans out there? Get ready for the feels in #MLPseason4 "
Here's hoping they don't mess this up!
"Episode 413 might feature my favorite Rarity performance ever. Really not sure how @StTabitha made it through that record."
I recall one of the staff or VA's saying they "broke" Tabitha St. Germain this season. Really makes me curious what she does...
"It's no wonder @dannyimusic is on vacation right now. We tried to break him with 16 brand new songs in #MLPseason4"
The songs are great, this is awesome news, deal with it.
"Writer @KeatingRogers is back for #MLPseason4 and if you thought her Pinkie Pie "Smile Song" was great you are in for a treat. "
Ugh... In all honestly, I didn't like what Amy Keating Rogers wrote in season 2, it was a big drop in quality compared to season 1. Hell, the Smile song owes a lot to Daniel Ingram in terms of how awesome it was, at least for me, and when I heard how A.K.R. ORIGINALLY intended the song to sound... yeah, wasn't that impressed. So, yeah, kind of nervous about this.
"We're introducing some new villains in #MLPseason4 Let's just say they have some serious issues."
"Serious Issues"... Well that could mean anything, especially coming from Meghan McCarthy! I seriously hope they bring back Sombra, because God-freaking-dammit, you can't just introduce a character like him then do NOTHING with him!
"Last season the Crystal Empire won the honor of hosting the Equestria Games. I'm just sayin' #MLPseason4 "
Yeah, make something to redeem that episode, please.
"Speaking of background ponies, a fan favorite gets an official name and lots of screen time in #MLPseason4"
...Oh snap. DJ P0N-3/Vinyl Scratch? Octavia? Lyra (even though she got a line in A Canterlot Wedding)? I doubt another Derpygate will happen, since there were a LOT of different factors to consider with that fiasco.
"#MLPseason4 fun fact: The scripts for episodes 401/402 were locked in August... 2012!"
...Was that before or after Lauren left the show? Regardless, this just shows how slow the process is for these kinds of things.
"What dreams may come? Luna knows ;-)"
More Luna dream-jumping, awesome!

Spoiler: New opening for the show

so discord is hiding in fluttershy's window

that's nice

otherwise, the first part was pretty boring, so i stopped watching for a little bit and it turns out i missed

Spoiler

discord

 

[Nabber]

Spoiler: The Adventures of Princess Twilight and Her Loyal Subjects

Wow, that might have been the weakest premiere yet. The only good part were the flashbacks and Discord. And it feels like they're going to be milking Discord until he's boring.

Maybe i'll post more thoughts later.
