S08E15: The Hearth's Warming Club

Post by Wayoshi (?) » Thu Aug 02, 2018 6:20 pm

A prank-gone wrong ruins Hearth's Warming Eve preparations, and while Twilight tries to figure out which of her students is behind it, the students bond over shared memories of home.
This thread is for discussion of the episode. This episode airs at 8:30am AEST on Saturday, August 4 / 6:30pm US EDT on Friday, August 3 on Boomerang in Australia!

Official preview clips and images are okay to post, as is speculation about the episode.

Is this going to be Breakfast Club with the students?


Because I would love if this was Breakfast Club with the students.

Yona continues to be the best student.


I enjoyed this episode, but I found the ending a little meh. Gallus' sob story didn't really do it for me, and real grandpa or not, Grandpa Gruff clearly seemed to be his caretaker in the opening.

I liked it. Good to see the students playing a starring role. The different holiday stories were certainly interesting. It was nice how they all stuck together with Gallus at the end.

That was pretty good. Weird to be watching Christmas in August, but it was a funny episode.

Some of the dialogue was kinda hard to hear, though.

Oh good, it wasn’t just me who had a hard time hearing some lines. :-I Nice episode, though.

I feel like the Hearth's Warming episodes never actually air in December. :v:

One of the better episodes this season, I thought.

It’s Hearth’s Warming all over again! (RIP Tom Petty) :fluttersmith:

• Check your pony privilege, kid! Hearth’s Warming isn’t universal! Yaks celebrate Yannukah, dragons have St. Smaug’s Eventide, griffons have Gristlemas (the Festival of Low-Grade Meat), and hippogriffs do some weird hippy-dippy solstice thing. As for changelings, they rip off everyone else’s holidays.
• Somepony’s ruining Hearth’s Warming Eve! :flutterdear: And it’s probably not Starlight this time!
• Perhaps it’s Jelly Pony celebrating in his own ... special way.
• Our heroes alone in a big empty building during winter ... time for pony The Shining, I guess.
• Or pony The Thing, I’d be cool with either.
• Hey, maybe some ponies celebrate Hearth’s Warming by dumping goo on everything and lying about it. Their families did it in the old country, don’t culture shame.
• This feels like a real plot on a real TV show. I can’t say that about pony as often as I’d like. Sometimes it’s just 20 minutes of shenanigans + a friendship lesson.
• Yak holiday too commercialized. Mostly just prop up smash economy.
• I don’t think anything will top Yona’s segment, but I’m willing to stay and find out. :popcorn:
• Ha, “and then the strong dominated the weak, The End.” :allears:
• Oh man baby pony sister is too adorable.
• This family’s Hearth’s Warming includes voodoo dolls?! I mean I’m not culture shaming, but the practice seems ripe for abuse.
• I sort of want this to be a reality show thing, with factions and shocking betrayals.
• Holy smokes actual characterization for the students! And it’s well-done characterization too!
• So Gallus was Kira all along! :solved:

SUMMARY: A Good Episode (tm). :good:

I downloaded all the episodes I haven't seen, finally watched this one, and it was so cute it almost killed me.
