If you wish to avoid the problem that hearing about the song early created, I'd suggest avoiding spoilers in the future.<br />I'm not sure why people are so shocked about the A-Team reference. The show had one all the way back in season one with Dragonshy.<br />As for the CMC, I'm a fan of them. I like their episodes and can forgive them for their stupidity because they are kids and I remember being a kid meant doing stupid things that didn't seem stupid at the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1106648781852702786.post-66482243476169030642012-12-02T05:06:48.357+00:002012-12-02T05:06:48.357+00:00You don't bully from someone; you just bully t...You don't bully from someone; you just bully them.

The line "I don’t like the idea of not being in control of my own life" is the most badass line ever in movies. <br />I agree with you that in cartoons is rare to see that kind of sympathetic bully and I always wanted to watch that and even I write a story long ago with that kind of bully.<br />It almost destroyed me watching Sweetie Belle crying, but the most weird thing is that even with that, I couldn't hate Babs Seed and that reinforces my point of not watching this type of character frequently. schris3https://www.blogger.com/profile/12876130265207244869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1106648781852702786.post-15292360002881143312012-11-27T11:43:19.761+00:002012-11-27T11:43:19.761+00:00Thanks for the review.

Since you mentionned in a previous review (I'm pretty sure it was Hurricane Fluttershy) that you were bullied a lot in the past, I was looking forward to know what you think of that episode.

I ...Repost from another blog because I'm lazy:<br /><br />I wasn't sure what to expect out of this one. I was apprehensive myself about it. But, I came away feeling pretty good, even if the ending kind of laid it out rather thick with the whole, "bad seed" shtick.<br /><br />I liked the song, repeating animation be darned!<br /><br />Also, I don't believe in having every antagonist having to get their comeuppance all the time. Life doesn't work that way and I felt the resolution was handled well. Also also, I second the statement that bullies can become friends. Myself, I had some incidents with bullies (nothing too terrible) and it's surprisingly easy to work things out if you keep a level head and just talk it out.<br /><br />Yeah, big shocker.<br /><br />Now, that was during my time in high school, dating back to the 90's, so things might not be the same as it is now for children and young adults. But, I'd like to think that the solution is the same as it was then and pride and "rep" are the only things keeping people from working things out.<br /><br />Anyway, nice analysis!<br /><br />Next week: The episode the entire fandom is holding their breath over.R.T.

I guess I'm an absolute sucker for cheesy 80s-style pop songs, so this one was aimed right at my heart!<br /><br />One other small point, though: "Rarity's dad"... he's Sweetie Belle's dad too!

I had a different view, though: this wasn't a stand-out episode for me, and I wasn't a huge fan of Babs either pre- or post-redemption (though her tail flicking was cute). I just feel that bullying was covered much more satisfyingly in "Hurricane Fluttershy" (interestingly, also by Cindy Morrow) and certainly the S2 episode touched nerves for me personally in a way that "One Bad Apple" didn't quite manage. But then, "Family Appreciation Day" is my <i>least</i> favourite CMC episode, so what do I know?<br /><br />As for the song, again I part company with you to a certain extent: I think it was <i>Lsensationally</i> catchy, full-on "Winter Wrap Up"-level catchy, and it's been in my head permanently since I first heard it. The animation wasn't up to that of "WWU", but as the sequence was apparently a deliberate homage to Hanna-Barbera cartoons, even the less than stellar visuals (eg the reused sequences in the chorus) felt appropriate to me.Loganhttp://www.youtube.com/user/Loganberrybunnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1106648781852702786.post-52129251015018754642012-11-25T16:17:38.688+00:002012-11-25T16:17:38.688+00:00Don't you mean to say "an issue as sensit...Don't you mean to say "an issue as sensitive as this" at the end rather than sensible? I don't mean to bring up this odd grammar choice but I'm just checking that's what you meant.<br /><br />I like your reviews of this show that's wrapped me up in a warm bundle of cute awesomeness for the past year or so. I certainly like this approach to your reviews over your past ones which were way too "Hyperbole spewing Caustic Critic" for me. I HATE that critic cliche of saying you'd rather go through the most horrible torture imaginable rather than doing a watching something you find bad. It's obnoxious, it's not funny and it's trying way too hard! I'm glad you've gone away from that path. Don't go back there! <br /><br />Minor critic gripe aside, good job.Rammyfannoreply@blogger.com
