Super Recaps: My Little Pony season 5 (Party Pooped)

We’re back with another chapter in Twilight’s Saga to become the Princess of Friendship!  After last week’s summit that had mixed results, she’s trying once again to prove her political prowess by inviting Royalty from a reclusive kingdom to the city of Ponyville!  So is this going to be a theme this season?  Is the show going to be the adventures of The Princess of Friendship trying to navigate the complicated world of Pony politics?  Equestrian House of Cards if you will?  I’m totally up for it if that’s the case!  Now the last episode was pretty heavily flawed, what with Spike continuing to be short shrifted by the writers, but this episode will at least have the benefit of Twilight not being unconscious for the majority of the running time.  Can she do a better job than Spike did?  Will her presence make this episode all the more enjoyable?  Let’s find out!!

The episode begins with the Mane 6 getting things ready for the diplomatic visit and Twilight stressing out over it.  Okay, so right off the bat I guess she doesn’t know what the heck she’s doing!  That or she’s still having trouble managing the pressures of being a Princess.

“The Princess of Friendship does NOT get nervous before a diplomatic meeting, right?  RIGHT!?”     “Uh… sure Twilight.  Whatever you say.”

Super Recaps: My Little Pony season 5 (Princess Spike)

We’re back with another episode of Syndication is Magic!  After reaching the 100th episode milestone last week (seriously; if this show is huge on a no name channel, imagine how big it’ll be if Cartoon Network picked it up!?) we seem to be heading back into business as usual for the season.  While we have gotten some highlights like the season premiere and the 100th episode, things haven’t been as good as they should be for the series what with a bunch of filler episodes and unrealized potential.  Not only does that have this episode going against it, but it’s another Spike episode which tend to be a mixed bag for me.  Still, the last time he was the focus of the story was the very good Equestria Games, so maybe the writers have figured out how to write this character well and we’ll get another solid episode this time around.  Let’s find out!!

The episode begins in Canterlot where the four princesses are holding a summit for the entirety of Equestria.  I guess that means everyone’s going to put on a good show of peace, get a bunch of photo-ops, eat lots of fancy food, and accomplish absolutely nothing.

“And we shall call it… PonyCon!!”
