It’s time for Let’s Watch A Ponies (TM)! Tonight is the first of what appears to be multiple episodes in S9 named “The Last [X]”. Jeez, show, you don’t have to rub salt in it.
• Parents are canon, so Scootaloo’s not an orphan, which would be too depressing. She’s just horribly neglected!
• Cheerilee’s
face is pretty much my own. This is not even close to how I pictured the Scootaloo clan.
•
• Oh super, Apple Bloom’s messing with potions again.
•
“Rarity won’t be mad!” Sweetie Belle, have you
watched this show?
• Hey, it’s Troubleshoes!
I didn’t have many notes on this one! It was mostly straight plot with few twists (
), subtleties or unique character moments. That’s not necessarily bad but it doesn’t make a lot of space for comments, at least not from me. I mostly just watched the episode and waited to see what would happen next. It was fine.
It’s good to see the CMC get a sendoff. They never got to save Equestria, but they’re hometown heroes and they’ve earned respect, as opposed to being those weird kids who run around annoying everyone. I dunno if I buy that
nobody else can do what they do, but Cutie Mark Crusaders Forever is certainly a credo I can get behind, so, good enough for me!
