    It seemed to me they intended for the float to crash earlier around the crowd not in the embankment and embarrass her by making it look like she crashed it herself. She would have looked foolish in front of the town Things went wrong, which accomplished the lesson that retaliation can quickly spiral out of control with worst consequences then what was intended. It also served the story because it added the dramatic tension of wondering if they would make it to the float in time, as well as giving them time to realize their mistake.

    Starswirl, you are applying alot of logic to people who likely not thinking logically. Getting revenge in a way that doesn't actually stop the problem rather then a solution that could desculate it already doesn't make sense. Plus these are children who have shown in the past that they aren't all that great at thinking ahead of the consequences. When a kid who is bullied brings a gun to school you don't look at the situation and say, "Well didn't he realize bringing a gun to school is worst then what the bullies did? That don't make sense." As for Applejack and the other characters not noticing the bullying, as an authority figure if you aren't aware of a situation and that one side doesn't like it then it can be hard to tell bullying from normal rough housing. I'm also guessing Applebloom and Babs were suppose to share the bed and Babs kicked her out.

    I felt that it was done well. It showed how quickly fighting back can escalate into something out of control and worse then the original situation. It also set up a situation with the crusaders where they could have some tension chasing down the float.

    So at a certain point do you start getting more gems or am I just suppose to save up for several years if I want to buy those ponies without paying real money?

    Yeah, I got the impression they thought it would crash before it got to the hill

    Scootaloo seems to be able to hover better as the series goes on. I don't think she is a cripple. Is there actually any good proof Faust even said that? I only got confirmation from a person who knew somebody who said she said it the last time I asked about that statement

    Actually if you look at the Diamond Tiara episodes most of them could have been alleviated by talking to an adult. Ponyville Confidential could have been directly intervened with by alerting the authorities. As far as the others if Applebloom would have sought advice instead of trying to fix things she probably would have at least gotten some reassurance by her elders that things wouldn't have been as bad as they could have. Speaking as a formal authority figure over young people, letting me know bullying was going on was the best way to make sure it didn't continue. Typically there wasn't a quick solution but being aware meant being able to be vigilant. I also dealt with many people who tried to deal with being bullied on their own and were the ones caught and got in trouble

    I would argue Giant Robot that the bullies I saw when I worked with juvenile delinquints failry univerily had emotional reasons they bullied. It was a coping mechanism of some sort. They were picked on by peers or adults in their lives and in order to feel power or to portray themselves as being strong enough that they shouldn't be bullied. Those who are victims also often don't retlaite because of fear that it will be worse or in the belief they should be able to take care of it themselves

    I like the way the episode is for two reasons 1. Having the prank work and then having the lesson being that bullying is bad gives a mixed message. Its saying "We did this thing that is bad, but don't do it." 2. The CMC showed that they are legitimatly good people, which is what showed Babs the error of her ways. They were willing to put themselves at risk to save somebody who was mean to them. Humiliating Babs reinforces that she should be a bully to protect herself. Helping her when she didn't deserve it shows her that there is a reason she should reach out and not be afraid

    Pinkie Pie definitely had a journey in the episode. If anything it is the actions of the other characters towards the end that kind of ruin it since the solution had nothing to do with her learning to be more reserved and having a crisis over if she really exists
  11. elsporko
    Good episode and a good message. I liked how Babs wasn't a bully for no reason and the conclusion made sense. It also teaches those who may become bullies to not do it because the people you bullied may rig your car to drive off a cliff

    I think it looks cute but I watched an episode and didn't like it much, although I don't remember why I didn't like it because I was incredibly intoxicated. I should give it another chance probably.

    I didn't realize it was hot to look like you are constantly smelling a fart. I feel like there is a lost opportunity with Michonne. She definitely is bad ass when fighting but it bugged me how she was instantly suspicious of the town before she actually had proof. Also she doesn't seem to have much of a personality. I don't know if she is traumatized due to the outbreak or just poorly written

    Yeah, none of the popular products are going to be gone for long. The rights will be bought up during liquidation

    Didn't Disney say they had no interest in this deal?

    I've come to like the lamer CMC episodes in the first season. They aren't the best but I like the characters more which makes them more enjoyable

    Scootaloo lives in the hearts of children everywhere And also in the Cutie Mark Crusader tree house. Her parents kicked her out in shame that she can't fly

    Wild theory time: The library is magic and intelligent. It helps Twilight when it needs to. How many times has she just happened to find the book she needs when it is needed.She even found the elements that one time. Because the library helped her. That book was hidden because the magic pond could be abused so easily, it was kept safe until the library knew she needed it

    I'm no expert but I believe settlers interrupting the migrations of Native Americans and buffalo by building farms and towns was an actual problem the Natives faced during western expansion. Over a Barrel had it in a smaller scale but this is also a cartoon about ponies.

    And she could have been uninvited once her purpose to be there no longer existed Isn't having to spend time with Twist along the lines of a form of punishment Daimond Tiaria is a jerk but she is more really full of herself and immature then a bully A bully is going to egg your house Diamond Tiaria wouldn't consider somebody else important enough to egg
  21. elsporko
    Pretty good episode I would like to see more of somewhat restrained Pinkie Pie Is anybody else a little concerned how Twilight just sort of mass murdered a bunch of sentinent creatures one of which may have been her friend

    I can definitly tell the difference between vegetarian and non-vegetarian hot dogs
  23. elsporko
    ^ Good ideas but if you went with the personal growth angle at the fair we would have lost Pinkie Pie whining about wanting a flugelhorn

    Celestia doesn't seem to interact with the public a whole ton nor does she seem to bring up things that aren't necessary. The average pony doesn't seem to question alot or spend alot of time doing whatever they happen to be doing at the moment. It seems like the ponies who spend time researching and recording history are far and few How many ponies have we ever even seen visit the library other then to find out where rain water comes from?
  25. elsporko
    I assumed they didn't take the elements since if the elements turned him to shadow using them against the shadow wouldn't be effective. If Celestia and Luna didn't have the elements it does raise the question as to why they didn't bring them.
