The Last Round Up has returned on iTunes, Derpy intact. Crisis over.
Woops, nevermind. Turns out there were some modifications anyway.

Roughly speaking, this is how Scoots would stack up with a human.
Now use this scale chart to compare.

Confirmed:
Scootaloo-centric episode coming up in Season 2.
Season 3 doesn't have only 13 episodes (Not confirmed 26, but sounds at least that they are making more).
Some concerns have been lifted off our shoulders today.
Derp, we've been had.

Updated synopsis:
“When Fluttershy becomes tired of being pushed around for too long, she decides to seek some assertiveness training from self-help guru Iron Will. With the help of her new teacher, she quickly transforms her unsure ways."

Rarity isn't quite done apparently, but a lot of info about her has arisen, such as her theme music.

I record episodes directly from my desktop now, so don't expect me to comment during the episode.
-
I was wondering what the Daring Do villain was supposed to be a reference to. It appears to be most similar to the Ahuizotl.

This episode wasn't quite as great as the 2 previous ones (
), but the lesson was good and the sneak peek at Rainbow's bedroom (out of nowhere) was pleasant.

I can smell the shipping from here...
At least now we've got the long awaited Fluttershy episode.

I'm tempted to guess the answer because of a hunch, but I'll double check to make sure.

Take a look at your Rainbow Dash drawing. See the mane ("hair"), and how it passes behind the ear? You drew the crest (hair behind the neck) and the forelock (the "head's hair") as 2 different pieces, but they are actually supposed to be connected as one. When drawing the mane up to the ear, continue to the other section with a smooth, pale (but visible) line that connects the two together, and you'll draw and see the mane as a single connected piece that is merely partially obstructed by the ear as opposed to 2 different parts that are not connected at all.Sorry, but I don't exactly follow.
Could you elaborate a bit more on this point?
Now you should apply this to everything that gets obstructed.
The nose obstructs the eye? Draw through to make sure it is the right shape.
Those legs on the other side? Draw through to make sure they're actually connected to the body properly.
Heck, that second ear we usually can't see on the ponies? Draw it. It's important to know where every part of the character is, even the parts that are completely obstructed.
The more guesses you do, the weaker your drawing becomes.
Remember that these rules are only for making your drawings better. They should not obstruct you from actually finishing them.

Some tips my teachers basically hammered into my head.
1. Draw spheres, not circles. You want to have a sense of depth.
2. Draw through. The eyes, the mouth, the mane, the body - everything. It allows you to understand how everything goes together. This applies for basically all the things in a drawing.
3. Draw from the shoulder as often as possible, and draw smooth single (or as little as possible) lines - not just for the clean feel, but because it shows the strength of your pose easier. "Feathering" multiple lines on the same areas creates an "illusion" of what your intent was, which comes back to bite you if you try to make a clean version afterwards, since you won't be able to tell how it's supposed to go perfectly.
4. Check your reference to make sure you're getting proportions right - assuming you're going for the show's style. But even then, checking the reference of the original model build of the characters you're drawing is important.
5. Do NOT try to recreate poses from the show/professional fanart - you're undoubtedly going to make a weaker pose and drawing overall, and at best, you'll just have a drawing that's already been done. This isn't because of skill or experience, it's just something that happens.
6. Keep It Simple and know your limits. Drawing is all about practice, practice, practice. Despite all I've said, JUST GET IT DONE, it's all a learning experience, and it takes a lot of time to be able to apply all the rules.
At your current level, your drawings show some decent understanding, especially from someone who has never drawn before.
There's a lot more to know, but I'd have to start pulling out some of my animation books for that.

Slight synopsis update.
“When Pinkie Pie meets Cranky Doodle Donkey, she becomes flummoxed about what to do when the donkey refuses her usual offer of lifelong friendship, so she must decide what to do next about the first creature ever to do such a thing.”
-
Probably last synopsis update for Read it and Weep.
"After mocking it as an 'egghead' pursuit, Rainbow Dash discovers the joys of reading while laid up in Ponyville Hospital. Can she finish her book before her friends discover her secret?"
-
Read it and Weep's got a teaser clip up over here. No dialogue, but it kinda reveals pretty much why Dash would take a sudden interest to books. Maybe.
-
Hearts and Hooves got an update in the form of teaser pictures, but to get them, you have to play this game.
Or click the spoiler link below, that works too.

Turns out Dr.Whooves was an intentional reference.
It was suspected before, but this confirms it.

They apparently call him Dr.Whooves themselves, much like how they do with Derpy. I don't have the source for that statement, but I remember it from at least several months ago.At what point, though, did the Dr. Whooves reference reach the artists? It's been a joke in the fandom for a while, but for how long has it been a joke to the animators? That was my point.
-
You know, I'd like to mention that I really like how many call backs this episode makes:
-Applejack biting Rainbow's tail
-Rainbow's wub face
-Lyra hogging the camera
-Bonbon's voice acting
-Twilight's organisation skills from Dragonshy/Winter Wrap Up being put to use near the end
It's been a while since I've seen these moments: heck, some of them haven't come up since the first half of Season 1.
I just wanted to mention that it is these little things that push episodes to be a little better than they are to me.
EDIT: Ooh, can't forget Fluttershy squeaking.

I haven't failed before, and I ain't failing this week either.

Response of the person who actually wrote the episode. (Should be legit this time according to EqD)
