Hurray for Canon! Time Turner sounds great! Hell I might go and redo my Doctor Whooves intro now that I have a canon name to use for the credits.
I look forward to seeing some art/fics with Mayor and the Doctor (I already agree with the fans who say that Time Turner could be the pony naming equivalent to John Smith) and that maybe the Mayor could be an older companion that he keeps in contact with like Sarah Jane.
Also the push for Vinyl Scratch and Octavia makes me hopeful we'll get an episode with these two and have official voices.
According to the trading card sneak peeks on EqD, they actually hired three fan consultants for these trading cards, so we can expect a lot more fanon shoutouts and references.
The new Friendship is Witchcraft had me rolling. A parody of Derpygate? Priceless. Poor Raincloud. I'd have loved to see the panel reaction to it for the first time, but video from the event doesn't really seem to be available. Also dat Gypsy Bard song!
Those trading cards look nice, will anypony buy any of them? I know I've seen some fan-created pony TCGs in development here and there.
Thanks for all of the warm welcomes! This thread is definitely my home here at GAF.
I think this has more to do with Cad mentioning his strategy for voting: wherein he tries to evenly distribute 1's 2's 3' 4's and 4's amongst all the episodes in the season. Perhaps this had undue influence on the voting this week?
Sorry, but that was an incredibly lazy ass effort. I thought Party.Mov was lazy, pasting Pinkie into a Lohan/bad celeb docu-drama...this, was a whole other level of pathetic.
I shall explain myself (all my opinion obviously):
1. Not much, if anything is changed at all. In other FiW, there seems to be effort, and episode crossovers/references. This is focused squarely on the "Last Round-Up" episode.
2. Didn't like the so called mission AJ was supposed to be on. Really, Fucking Nanos...? I get the Tentacle monster is probably from Fluttershy's nonsense, but ugh, soo dumb.
3. Not ONE OF THE FUCKING PONIES DID ANYTHING DIFFERENT! Seriously, it is like they took the episode, changed the motivate to fit the shitty FiW story-arch (which is already iffy without all the main six being together and in 'their characters' for the show), and oh yes, IGNORE AJ, as a plot device for the 'ending sacrifice' or whatever.
[/end rant]
That said. I actually was gad that they addressed 'Derpy-gate' in the way the did, but of course, it didn't do anything to change my opinion of this, otherwise boring episode. I want to note, I am ok with this parody, although it borders on funny to 'ehh' half the time normally, but the songs and some of the changes make it stand out on its own. Take that away, you get ...this...
Anyway, I have spoken quite enough. I just realized I haven't been in this topic in a while, and I start off ranting..=/ Sorry to the new guys..I hope in the future I can be calmer about this. =p
Now, flame away, FiW=defense force ;p
Edit, of COURSE! this would be at the top of a new page...
I'm not one for shameless self promotions on a normal basis, but there's developments over at our resident studio Manestream Games you guys might want to check out.
