My Opinions: Season 3 Episodes 1-5

Derpy??? 

I think season 3 is kicking off to a pretty fine start! It has lots of things in it for the fans, but barely any Derpy! The only reason I say "barely" and not "not at all" is that in Magic Duel you can see what looks like her mane sticking out from behind Bon Bon. She was also in the stands at the end of Magic Duel during Twilight's magic show.

The Crystal Empire- Part 1

I liked this episode a lot and I thought it was a good season opener. I also learned a very valuable lesson, "DON'T LOOK FOR SPOILERS; THEY RUIN THE SHOW!" I saw almost all of this episode through spoilers and was disappointed with myself.
Sombra did not make it on my list of favorite villains which right now only has Discord and Chrysalis. A question I had about this episode was: If it's the Crystal EMPIRE, why is Sombra a king and not an emperor? My favorite line was when they finished talking to the librarian, and Pinkie Pie says, "I like her!"

The Crystal Empire- Part 2

I  also enjoyed this episode, but I liked it better than part 1, because it was new and un-spoiled for me! My favorite part was when Twilight is sliding down the bottom of the stairs. My question for this episode was: Why did spike turn crystal like the crystal ponies? He's not a pony! I also would like to know what the book Luna has at the end was... Anyway, I loved this episode!

Too Many Pinkie Pies

This episode was pretty good. I had a lot of trouble understanding Pinkie Pie though. I love the part when Pinkie Pie makes a G3 face! It had a good lesson which I may have used in my real life... It wasn't my favorite episode because Pinkie Pie started to give me a headache. I thought the "test" was kind of cruel. I wasn't sure if it was the best idea, but they managed to get the real Pinkie, so it's all good. :)

One Bad Apple

This episode was super! I absolutely loved the song! Scootaloo flew a little, and Sweetie Belle made her horn sparkle a little. I also liked the A-Team music that was played when they were building the Apple Float. (Of course it wasn't a real Apple float because there were Windows!...) Sweetie Belle drinking the milkshake was too cute! :3 I didn't really agree with the ending. The CMC's were the wounded party, so Babs should have apologized first, right? I wasn't much for the character Babs. She didn't really grow on me. I still really liked this episode though!

I think this was the best episode in the season so far! There was so much fanservice:

• "Alicorn" was fan made.
• Trixie returns!
• Pinkie Pie's dad
• Rock farm!
• Derpy!!!
• Parasprites!
• More Zecora
• Empire Strikes Back reference.
• Lyra and Bon Bon
• Lyra acting like a human
• Fluttertree
• And Male Applejack!

I liked how it had a really big problem! Not something small like a mean Griffon, or a grumpy donkey. This was a big problem: Ponyville was taken over! Dun, dun, dun!!! Zecora's line, "Unlearn what you have learned," Hmm... I wonder where she got that line. *Cough. Yoda! Male Aplejack made me laugh, and I felt bad for Pinkie Pie. Right when she is about to say something- "My Little Pony!" The credits come. Yeah, so I thought this episode was super amazing!

So, there is a new episode this Saturday and I'm a very excited! Season 3 kicked off to a pretty good start and I can't wait to see it! Hmm.... Maybe I'll watch just one more spoiler...

Season 3 Premeires Tomorrow

Tomorrow is the day we've been waiting for for over 6 months: THE PREMIERE OF SEASON 3!!!
Activating Fluttershy mode: YAY!

I really hope the new season is really awesome and makes the huge wait worth it!

In my opinion, today is the slowest day ever! I know why too!

Reason 1) Today is the only day Time has left to stop us from watching a new season of ponies, so Father Time is going to make it last!

Reason 2) They say a pot won't boil if you watch it, and that's pretty much what I'm doing! I have a countdown to season 3 at the bottom of my computer screen counting down ever hour, every minute, every second, every millisecond to season 3!

There are a lot of countdowns to season 3, but I prefer *futzi01's on DeviantART. Here's a link to it: http://futzi01.deviantart.com/art/Season-3-countdown-333005079 You can download it and put it on your screen too. :)

Let's check on how other people are spending the day before season 3:

Tara Strong (voice of Twilight Sparkle) took over the Hub's Twitter page at 3:45pm ET, and answered questions about season 3... Only there weren't very many questions about season 3 asked. I asked the following questions:
1) Is DJ Pon-3 in season 3?
2) In season 3, does Spike go out with Rarity?
3) Is there more Applejack in season 3 than in previous seasons?
4) Does Twilight like to eat pickles?

The only question of mine she answered was number 4. Apparently, Twilight loves to eat dill pickles. Huh, you learn something new everyday I guess. Tara Strong gave the Hub's Twitter page back at around 30-45 minutes later.

Hot Topic  said they were celebrating the near return of My Little Pony by interviewing Fluttershy for us. Here's the 1 minute interview video:

Most of the My Little Ponies I liked on Facebook are posting pictures, and sharing pictures that all have a similar message:

My Little Pony's picture

I am spending the last day before season 3 going absolutely crazy! I got the countdown at the bottom of my screen, asked Tara Strong questions via Twitter, visited Facebook a couple thousand times trying to find something interesting to make the time go by faster, listened to numerous MLP songs, visited every My Little Pony website I could think of, and listened to Everfree Radio. Later, I'm going to play with a new movie making program on my computer and try make a video about Princess Luna. I don't think I can stand one more minute without new episodes of ponies! Right now, I look like Twilight from Lesson Zero.


Well, my Season 3 countdown is still counting down and the number is getting smaller and smaller as I type. (It feels like Christmas Eve to me...) Season 3 is just around the corner and I can't wait! Set your alarm clock, set you DVR, set out all of your ponies in front of the TV so they can watch the new episode with you, set you VCR recording thing if anypony still uses them... And get ready for ponies!!! November 10th, 2012, 10am ET, 7am PT, on The Hub!

Season 3 Release Date/ Clip

So, we've known for sometime know that My Little Pony Season 3 will start in November, but we didn't know  the exact date. Now we do! The Hub released a photo on Facebook saying that Season 3 will start on.... (Pause for dramatic effect) SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10TH, 2012! We've been waiting for about 6 months and there's not even 1 months to go!

SPOILER ALERT

On other news, There is another clip release from season 3. If you have been avoiding spoilers all summer, I would like to congratulate you. I know the spoilers and clips are very tempting. Good work! ;-)

For those of you who are like me and have tried to find every little peace of info I can about the third season, dig in!

Season 3 Premiers in November

  The actual season 3 release has not been released yet, but the next best thing has. Season 3 of My Little Pony will be released sometime in November! The TV guide on my TV only goes ahead 15 days, so if anypony out there knows a web sight or anything that let's us see what the Hub will be airing in November, please look at it. We might be able to get the actual date of when season 3 starts! Thanks for reading, have a pony-tastic day!

I'm so super excited, I can hardly wait!!!

Derpy's Brother

Does Derpy have a brother? Possibly.... Well, who would this brother be? Non other than Equestria's own: that one pony who's obsessed with tubs of jelly! For short, we'll just call him, "T.o.p.w.o.w.t.o.j" or Top Wow Toj.
Why would we ask is Top Wow Toj Derpy's brother? Good question! Look at the color scheme on him: Gray coat, yellow mane, nutty just like Derpy!
Just because the color is the same, that still doesn't mean they're related. Thanks for reading! Please comment if you think they're related. Have a nice day!

The Votes Are in 3

Another set of polls ended so it's time to count up the votes and announce the winners! Just like in the last post announcing the winners, in the pictures showing the polls, the first number is the number of votes received, and the second is the percent of votes that is. The option with the longest blue line next to it won.
So, here are the winners:

Who is the best brother in MLP?

BIG MACINTOSH! I'm not sure if he he won because he showed the best example of how a BBBFF should be, or if we just like him better than Shining Armor. Nevertheless, Big Macintosh is the best brother in MLP! When asked if he thought he would win all along, his answer was simply, "Eeyup!"

Picture from here.

Which pair of sisters is the cutest?

Applebloom and Applejack! Congratulations girls! Applebloom/Applejack are lucky! They get the best brother in MLP and the cutest sister! Who could forget how cute they were working together to do their farm work in the episode Sisterhooves Social? That might be what brought them this victory. Let's all give a hand/hoof for the cutest sisters: Applebloom and Applejack!!!

Picture from here.

Will you watch season 3?

Yes we will! All of the voters except one are absolutely sure they're going to watch the third season. This is the first time ever on this blog that an option on a poll didn't have even one vote and that losing option was: "No!" Well, people who voted yes, I'll be watching it too!

Picture from here.

Which Luna do you like best?

All hail Season 2 Luna! The bold princess who talks in her Royal Canterlot Voice has been crowned better than the shy pony who says "I" instead of "we." Now that we know which Luna is better, THE FUN HAS BEEN DOUBLED! All hail the Princess of the Night! All hope she plays a bigger role in season 3!

Which name: DJ Pon-3 or Vinyl Scratch?

"Vinyl Scratch" is Vinyl Scratch's name! Perhaps "DJ Pon-3" is her nickname. I'm sure Vinyl is happy she finally found the right name for her. Now, she's going to celebrate by spinning some records and having some fun!

Picture from here.

Which name: Derpy Hooves or Ditzy Doo?

Careful, Derpy! Why they took out when Rainbow Dash says,"Derpy" when they put it on Netflix is a mystery to me. Anyway, we now know this cross-eyed, muffin loving, mail mare, Pegasus's name!

Picture from here.

Thanks to all the voters who voted in the polls! Make sure to vote in the new polls. Thanks for reading, everypony!!!

How Did Discord Escape?

In The Return of Harmony Parts 1 and 2, they never really explained how Discord escaped. All we know is the Cutie Mark Crusaders were fighting, then Discord's statue started to crack. Lots of people say that since the CMCs (Cutie Mark Crusaders) were fighting, the discord they caused helped Discord escape. Other people say the CMCs were fighting because Discord was escaping, but that doesn't tell us how he escaped.
How do you think he escaped? Tell us your theory in the comments!

On an unrelated note, why did they turn Discord back into a statue? He escaped so they know the statue is defective. Why turn him back?

Who's Discord statue do you like better, Celestia's or the Mane 6's?

New Plushes

Some new MLP plush toys are being released on July 29, 2012 by a company known as Funrise Toy Corp. But some excited, brony, Target owners are already stocking they're shelves with these cuddly, little ponies.

Plush Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Twilight Sparkle

New Funrise Dashie

Now, the question is which plush ponies are better? The new ones or the old ones? Tell us in the comment section which plush ponies you prefer. What do you like? What don't you like? To help you compare, I made a picture with a side-by-side of the two types of pony plushes!

Season 3 Previews and News

*** Spoiler Alert!!!***

More news on season 3! We have two video clips from the upcoming season. The first video is a song by Twilight and Spike. The second is a song by the Mane 6.

I'm happily surprised Cadence is coming back. I thought she would be one of those characters who is in one or two episodes and then you never see them again. (Owlowiscious, Gilda, etc.)

Equestria Daily  confirmed:

• A potential duet sung by Rarity and Octavia!!!  
• Trixie Returns.
• Fluttershy turns into a dragon. (O.o)

Wow!!! I'm a big Octavia and Rarity fan. They're my favorite characters. I am so excited for their duet! Trixie returns? Sounds interesting. Fluttershy as a dragon... Weird, but kind of cool. Season 3 is going to be amazing! I can tell already.

That's all for now. Thanks for reading! Please leave a comment!!!

 Remember that old Hub commercial where Pinkie Pie is playing an 8-bit game called Adventure Ponies? Now, you can be Pinkie Pie! The Hub released the game for us to play. To play, you need a code that the gave you if you went to Comic-Con. If you didn't go, don't worry! Luckily, some nice bronies and pegasisters who went to Comic-Con gave us the codes!!! HUBMLP8BIT is the code. Click here to play the game.

Design a My Little Pony Contest Winner

Tinker designed by Chanel James

The Design a My Little Pony contest has been going on for a while, but the waiting is finally over! The winner of the Design a My Little Pony contest is Chanel James whose winning pony was Tinker!!! Tinker was revealed tonight at Comic-Con International. Congratulations to Chanel James and Tinker! 

Dinky Doo's Mom

This is Dinky Doo. Her name is fan made because they never said it in the show due to her being a background pony. Sometimes, Dinky has a cutie mark, but most of the time she doesn't.
According to fans, Dinky Doo is Derpy's daughter. (Try say that ten times fast!) The show never showed any evidence of her being Derpy's daughter, but that's just what some bronies and pegisisters say. The show does show some things that would mean she isn't Derpy's daughter.

Exhibit A

Exhibit A: These pictures were from the Last Round Up. The first picture is of a stallion and mare looking at Dinky as if she was their daughter. The second picture is of the same stallion and mare from the first picture talking to each other. The last picture is Dinky on a train with the mare. Looking at these pictures, it would appear that the stallion and mare are married and Dinky is their daughter. The mare as we know is Carrot Top/ Golden Harvest. (Depending on what you choose to call her.) This would mean that Dinky is Carrot Top's daughter.

Exhibit B

Exhibit B: This picture is from Sister Hooves Social. Here, we see Dinky and Amethyst Star winning an eating contest. Since this is the Sister Hooves Social, these two must be sisters. They are both Unicorns. Since Derpy is a Pegasus, shouldn't at least one of her daughters be a Pegasus? Or is this like the Cakes' babies are a Unicorn and a Pegasus even 
though the Cakes' are both Earth Ponies?


Exhibit C: Doesn't Derpy look about the same age as Amethyst Star. Did she have her first baby when she was a year old? That's impossible. Then again, Carrot Top looks about the same age as Amethyst Star, too.


As you can see from the evidence shown above, it would make sense that Dink is not Derpy's daughter. Maybe we'll find out more about Dinky in a future episode. Thanks for reading!
