For those of you who read the last OP, you know how this goes. For those who didn't, it's basically this: they made a new My Little Pony series that turned out to have surprising quality and entertainment value even for grown-up people who never expected to actually like this kind of thing (not all of them, of course, but more than you would have thought). It airs Fridays on The Hub, which not everybody has, so you can also buy episodes off of iTunes.

Episode List:

pan1.jpg
In Part 1 of the two-part series opener, Twilight Sparkle and Spike try to warn Princess Celestia about Nightmare Moon's return.


pan2.jpg
Twilight and the ponies hunt for magic stones that will help relight Equestria and find its missing princess.


pan3.jpg
Twilight Sparkle must choose a friend to accompany her to the Grand Galloping Gala after she gets two tickets from Princess Celestia.


pan4.jpg
Applejack works hard to harvest the apples in Ponyville by herself.


pan5.jpg
Pinkie Pie feels left out when Rainbow Dash's old friend arrives and attracts Rainbow Dash's attention.


pan6.jpg
The ponies look to Twilight for help when Trixie, a magic pony, boasts so much that she becomes annoying.


pan7.jpg
Equestria is threatened by a sleeping dragon's smoky emissions, so Fluttershy tries to persuade the beast to move away.


pan8.jpg
Rarity and Applejack have a disagreement at Twilight's slumber party.


pan9.jpg
A zebra is blamed for an illness afflicting the ponies.


PanA.jpg
Ponyville is overrun by Parasprites, multiplying creatures with big appetites, forcing the ponies to search for a solution before everything is eaten.


PanB.jpg
Twilight Sparkle prepares for the Winter Wrap-Up without using her magic.


PanC.jpg
Apple Bloom's concern about her missing cutie mark sparks her to find a purpose in life.


PanD.jpg
The ponies' competitive spirit takes over when they compete in the annual Running of the Leaves.


PanE.jpg
Rarity becomes overwhelmed by details as she makes party dresses for her friends.


PanF.jpg
Twilight Sparkle tries to understand Pinkie Pie's ability to predict the future.


PanG.jpg
Rarity disrupts a race while enjoying her new wings (courtesy of Twilight's magic) and watching Rainbow Dash compete.


6T4zX.jpg
Fluttershy is overwhelmed when she babysits the Cutie Mark Crusaders.


JKcMd.jpg
The Cutie Mark Crusaders enter a talent show.


1pshV.jpg
Diamond Dogs force Rarity to find jewels for them.


aZGNY.jpg8pEsY.jpg
Rarity hopes to get noticed as a designer with Fluttershy's help as a model for her dresses, but Fluttershy is the one who becomes the star.


Upcoming Episodes:
#21 Over a Barrel - March 25th, 2011
The ponies mediate a land dispute between the Apple-loosans and a herd of buffalo.

#22 A Bird in the Hoof - April 8, 2011
Fluttershy tries to help the Princess's sick bird, without her permission, and the ponies try to help smooth over the situation.

#23 The Cutie Mark Chronicles - April 15, 2011
Frustrated Cutie Mark Crusaders ask the ponies to share how they got their marks.

#24 Owl's Well That Ends Well - April 22, 2011
Spike grows jealous of Twilight's new friendship with an owl.
And that's why all these forum posters around here like these ponies lately.

    My wife now hates* me for getting her hooked on this.

    Our show watching schedule is pretty messed up though, and I'll say it's a very jarring transition going from MLP to Dexter.


    *not real hate. I hope.

    I'm off to pirate more music, steal software, and knock down little old ladies, then later I'm going to cover my self in Yak's blood, and lay in a pentagram, while reading some Marxist literature and praying to a heathen god.

    I'd love to see the sales comparison of Hasbro figurines before and after the show's airing.

    Or even a comparison of McDonald's toys sales. For instance, the girl's toy versus boy's toy ratio this time around.

    When I was little my sisters and I had a bunch of My Little Ponies that were hand-me-downs from our cousins. We mostly shared them, but this one was my favourite:

    MorningGlory_Jan2011.jpg


    It seems like there's quite a few pony collector sites that make it pretty easy to find pictures like this from a few vague details ('Um she had green hair and a thing where wings should go but they were broken when we got her') so what I guess I am suggesting here is post yo ponies.

    I swear, one of these days, I am going to buy a group of Infinity Chilli, Naga Vipers, and Bhut Jolokia and turn it all into a glorious rainbow coloured liquid concoction.

    Better yet, I'm going to turn it into the most epic Ramen bowl ever. Who needs forgiving Nong*Shim ramen when you can have RAINBOW ULTRA?

    And then sit down and eat it with some baked bads.

    Sorry to not give a resounding multi-quote at this predicament, but I personally prefer Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack the most.

    That being said, most of these characters have gotten plenty of focus lately, it's Fluttershy's turn. They're all awesome and I like them all anyway.

    Except for Applejack, she needs a new episode soon.

    A Dog and Pony Show - March 11th, 2011
    Diamond Dogs force Rarity to find jewels for them.
    Rarity gets in over her head as she traces the origins of her shop's diamonds to an illegal mining operation in the Everfree Forest. But when she goes to investigate, a pack of dogs abduct her and force her into slave labor in the mines. Her captors sell these blood diamonds to finance their insurgent doggy warlord's guerrilla war against Princess Celestia's despotic rule over Equestria. Rarity barely holds onto hope of a rescue with the power of friendship, but will it be enough?

    I can't wait.

    ew y r u guys watching a GIRLS show thats like TOTALLY icky

    Lame joke aside, all those avatars from Something Awful got me into this show, and after the thread was locked there, and not wanting to be anywhere near 4chan and their ilk, I signed up to these forums just to watch this thread, and I'm glad to see so many fans of the show (and relatively fewer trolls).

    I'll still choosing my favorite pony, they're all so likeable <3

    I'm actually going pretty much everywhere there is to talk about it, aside from SomethingAwful because you have to pay, and because SABrony is apparently no more. Who would pay for a site that you can't talk about ponies?

    I visit the frequent /co/ threads, I'm part of the Deviantart groups, I comment on the pictures on Ponibooru, I watch comment on the Youtube videos, I visit FiMChan, and I at least visit Equestria Daily and other sites. I signed up for here because I had heard a lot about there by MLP discussion here. The first place I had heard about this show was actually TvTropes. Zelda was my main hobby until getting into My Little Pony.

    My favourite Pony? Definitely Rainbow Dash.
