Haha, fuckin' that ^

I loved the new episode, the way Scootaloo acts trying to impress Rainbow Dash is a lot like the way I try to impress new people.

I've read a couple sad fanfics with them as well (where is Scootaloo's parents??),and I think it'd be really cool if they had a sisterly relationship kind of like Rarity and Sweetie Belle or Applebloom and Applejack in later episodes as well.

[Sonarch]

[Nine Volt]

Are they gonna leak every new episode?

[Sonarch]

I hope not, that would be kinda lame.

How did it get leaked, anyway?

Wow, now Dash has some balls of steel. Not literally of course, and if you're taking that in a dirty way, you've got problems, lol.

'Twas a great episode. But there better be something about it in later episodes so we can find out whether Dash became a wonderbolt or not. Or was that just more of a training camp than a competitive camp to pick out the next wonderbolt? HUB is definitely going to need to answer this sooner or later :3

So I still haven't seen any of season three...
How does it compare to the earlier seasons?

Well, the season premiere was, imho, at par with the second season premiere, but the main villain was a major letdown. Then in most every episode following, we've been seeing good amounts of fanservicing as well as better animation. We've had everything from Trixie's return, to a sisterly relationship between Scoots and Dash. Overall, I'd personally say that it's just as good as season 2, since every episode I've watched, I'd get a good laugh or two out of it. The major difference being that there's more fanservicing going on with season 3. So the ideas for the episodes don't feel as original as episodes from season 2, but the storyline within the episode (Scoots and Dash developing a sisterly relationship after some saddening experiences for Scoots while camping, for example) is pretty original itself. My biggest concern right now is how mlp is going to survive in later seasons, because fanservicing can only get the show so far before the fans start to demand less fanservice and more original episode ideas. Overall, I would definitely recommend checking out the episodes if you haven't already.

But for now, I like to monitor how the fandom's activity is affected by each new episode, from a burst of songs coming with each new episode relating to it somehow, to the fanfictions, to the fanart, and for the other 5 days of the week, the fandom is pretty much dead.

Dude seriously? Not all of us have enough time to sit here and read a fucking essay
God damn, man
:3

But yeah, I think the fanservicing will stick around for this season, given that there are only 13 eps in this one. I don't really mind it, I like seeing their interpretations of what the fans want

Watched the leaked ep. It was soooooo awesome (hint hint).

[MRPPony]

Like the new episode and loved how they manage to keep Rainbow Dash's humility the same as in eps 1. She wants to be the best but not wreckless like Lightning Dust. Also, Congrats Cloud for making Lead Pony in the Wonderbolts Academy =D

[SpyPie]

The New episode reminds me of Ender's Game, if any of you ever read it.

Don't read too much into that. It's christmas season and people are busy.

On the whole, it's alright. This weeks episode was definitely one of the stronger ones so far.

Biggest differences are that the facial expressions are more prone to break the pony shape now it seems. Writers are possibly going a bit overboard with Pinkie imho. Before she was goofy, in season 3, kinda bordering on stupid.

But that's only my personal impression, you judge for yourself when you do watch it.

Also, Spitfire = Ltn. Callahan, is now canon.

Edit: ABout the actual episode itself. I kinda liked how it played on Dash's loyalty. She had a three way struggle during the most part. Between the loyalty to her new friend, her classmates and the academy. I would have liked a scene where Lightning Dust was confronted about her behaviour, but it woúldnt' have been necessary for the episode to work, so there's no loss to the message.

And IF I'm going to be nitpicky.. why did the Mane 6 ALL bounce off of the cloud? I guess you could chalk it up to Pegasus-magic-whatever, but still.

Specifying the fact that the Wonderbolt Academy has the same sort of activities that the Battle School had.
Spitfire also reminds me of Mazer Rackham

Whatever happened to Celestia's Mailbox.

Spike is completely useless this season

Maybe they decided to just stop doing the "send a letter to Celestia" at the end of each episode. Perhaps they thought it was getting in the way too much, or maybe taking up slots of time that they need to finish each episode better?
