    Cherilee gets a visit from her sister who happens to be one of the most famous wrestlers in Equestria! A long-simmering grudge between the siblings threatens to explode unless Rarity and friends can figure out a way for the two to mend hurt feelings.

    What is this I don't even.

    Sounds fun.

    Aw, I guess Slice of Life is officially dead. Can't believe he didn't leave it up, either. Such a good comic, too.

    Nooooooo :bigfrown: That was such a great comic! How am I just now noticing that it's gone?

    Was this announced anywhere? I can't find the news on Egophiliac's blog, and trying to visit the Slice of Pony Life blog just redirects me to Google for some reason.

    Still, that makes me really sad. It was hands-down my favorite pony fan comic. Egophiliac just really knew how to write the characters really well.

    Her last post about Slice was this, about 3 months ago. Not sure exactly what pissed her off about doing it, since she never seemed interested in going into details. Demands for updates? Holes the show kept punching in her continuity? Something else? A pity, but there's no point doing it if she wasn't enjoying it.

    Ouch, yeah. I can completely understand that. Nothing stings quite like having a creation like that turn on you, and whatever the reasoning might be, there really isn't a point in forcing the content if it was a negative experience.

    Still gonna miss it something fierce, though.

    Heavenly Nostrils is getting syndicated in newspapers in the new year - And being renamed 'Phoebe and her Unicorn' as part of that.

    Sixth Teaser video is now up, completing the mane six. There is another brief glimpse of spoiler footage in this one, so be forewarned. Though it is minimal, it is there. Also, the darned video thumbnail is technically a spoiler, so I'm putting it under a cut this time just to be super safe.

    Now to see if Riokenn's theory pans out...

    Well, they might do one for Spike....cause he's Spike.
    But other than that I am hoping they give us a date in January. It's been too long and the theories about that episode resurfaced. (THANKS @tetranitroCubane)

    Gonna think about it for the whole day now.

    I like the Fluffle Puff storyline of Chryssi becoming accepted. As much as people like to slight it for the childlike shipping that Fluffly has towards Chryssi this is becoming headcannon for me. Changeling Sanctuaries for the win!

    Hmn. Except for the antlers it looks like a more respectable member of Tirek's race. Possibly Scorpan?

    Scorpan looks like winged monkey in both G1 and the flashback in Twilight's Kingdom, though.

    I think I nearly laughed up a lung when I read that comic over the holidays.

    Hey is this show still good? My wife and watched up through the first part of I think the third season (started out with the crystal empire thing) and just kind of petered off a couple episodes after that as it didn't seem to grab either of us as much as it used to. Were we just imagining things or did it go through a down patch or something?

    General consensus seems to be that season three was sort of a "holding pattern" in terms of quality. Quite a few people rank the episodes below some of the earlier ones, but it's all opinion (Honestly, some of the season three episodes I liked a whole lot).

    I found season four to be a cut above, and pretty consistently great. But at the end of the day, that's sort of a "your mileage may vary" situation. I know plenty of people who just stopped watching during season four because the show didn't grab them anymore. Personally, I got even more interested in the show for season four than I did for season three. I was over the moon by the time the finale hit.

    Hmm, maybe I'll pick it up again. I'm almost done marathonning The Office while I grind things out in FFXIV. Can fire this up in it's place.

    You get a straight up DBZ fight with Ponies for the Season 4 finale. Think Vegeta vs Cell level of craziness.

    I'd say that, from a technical and writing perspective, season 4 was probably the best so far. So if you're looking for the characters you know in amusing situations, and just thought S3 wasn't up to the usual standards, it will probably provide. On the other hand, nothing really changes (well, ok, something really changes, but it doesn't really change the course or tone of the show), so if you were just getting bored of the show I'm not sure the new episodes will change that.

    New Friends Forever issue out today (#13, with Babs Seed and Rarity) was fun. Also, it implies that
    Princess Cadance secretly plays for a Manehatten Roller Derby team under the name 'Shining Harmer'.
