    I think the Hearth's Warming Eve play is Celestia propaganda. It shows the that when the tribes are divided they are weak and subjectable to danger but protected when together. The elected leader is the least sensible, a ploy to keep her citizens from demanding elections. Then at the end they hoist Celestia's flag not a flag represenative of the time.

    Seems incredibly dumb and pointless

    If the cosplay makes them hot then they are still a hot girl

    I don't see whats odd. I tell people I'm not gay all the time. Just like giving back massages in the locker room. I'm not gay

    THAT ART IS SO CUTE!

    I could see how they could be confused on the situation if they considered themselves to be blues but ended up being more rock. The difference between Zeppelin and Cream can come down to linear notes on albums.

    Cosplaying only really works if you are a hot girl

    I always felt that paticular critisism of Led Zeppelin is kind of picky. They have a heavy blues influence and in blues its not considered neccasary to credit sources or considered bad to take a part of a song and apply it to another. Alot of American tradditonal music kept up the practice into the 50s and 60s

    Wow. I never thought they would make an entire game just for a con exclusive.

    I agree the crusaders need their cutie marks already. They are more entertaining when they aren't crusading. I'm hoping for an episode about Fluttershy's parents and it turns out they are abusive. It would explain her behavior and could be set up to help kids who are in an absuive situation. She could go back and confront them or something.

    I never brought it up around my parents, but my fiancee's mom knew she liked the show and apparently knew I liked it because she made a reference to it during a dinner with her, my parents and I. I said I hadn't watched it while I was at home because I didn't want to subject my parents to my cartoons. My dad said "And I'm glad for that."

    Fiancee and I made a pony joke around my friend who hates the show. Turns out his roomate loves it.

    I think most pony haters stick to their own websites and hate when ponies are brought up their. I could see a troll coming here, but to really troll something well you need a good knowledge of it which doesn't lend itself to haters

    I don't see how the song implies anything other then them being brother and sister

    I know what they were suppose to be, but the episode failed to show it. If you stretch a definition far enough anybody can fit in it. The episode simply was poorly wriiten and not focused enough to show Flim and Flam to be the scam artists they are suppose to be. What they did was legitimate. Apple family had something to gain, they didn't want competiition coming in on their monopoly. The terms were fair for both sides and clearly laid out without loopholes. If the actions of Flim and Flam are villinous then the actions of the Apple family are as well. Here you have a family owned business that refuses to let in outside investors and when those investors decide to get outside apples to make their own cider the family gets mad on them for moving in to "Sweet Apple cider country" despite an overall disatisfaction with the job being done with cider production in Ponyville

    I guess I'm a con artist then. I insulted family pride of other people by saying there is no way they could possible beat me in Scrabble. And of course my favorite hustlers in fictional history are the bullies in Back to the Future who Flim and Flam base their tactics off of
  17. elsporko
    Flim and Flam did nothing to make it look like they would not win the competition. Hustling is deceptive. If I went to a pool hall, played every game my best and talked about how good I was, then made bets I would not be a hustler

    I've written a couple of reviews on porpoiseoflife.org. If you want to read them look them up. I don't want to direct link since they feature naughty jokes and suggestive content

    I want Pipsquak to come back...

    If they manipulated them into the contest and set it up so that they would win no matter what (like a game of three card monty) they would be con artist. Instead they made the Apples want to compete in a game they would likely lose but not because any rules were broken (like a legit game of blackjack at a casino)

    I have a friend who, if the subject of ponies comes up, says he hates me. Great guy.

    We are suppose to believe they are con artists based on the name and the archtype but they never showed themselves to be con artists. They are shady business men but they never con anybody or are stopped from conning anybody. It looks like they are going to be con artists but then it goes into the John Henry man vs machine story. I think there were two idea for which way the story was going to go, Apples getting conned or Apples show working hard can beat modern technology. Then somewhere in the writing process they combined them leading to inconcistant themes.
  23. elsporko
    I think quite a few kids are aware of 8-bit through pop culture, arcade machines, or parents
  24. elsporko
    If the apples were smart they would have made a deal to sell apples to Flim and Flam on the condition that Flim and Flam can only sell cider after the Apples sell out of what they have. They would be selling the same amount of cider but also additional apples. Although I've never cared for this episode. It has quite a few story points that don't really line up. I think there were multiple plot ideas that never got quite ironed out.

    "The R Word"

    elsporko replied to Thoth's topic in Pony Chatter

    I don't see a cult of Discord forming among the ponies since they seem pretty dedicated to Celestia, almost to the point of brainwashing. It would be interesting to see how other species would react since we know they don't view Celestia the same way as the ponies. Maybe they would sign with Discord or other creatures
