Super Recaps: My Little Pony season 5 (Brotherhooves Social)

~ Matt Vetrano ~ 2 Comments

What the heck!?  It’s an episode WITHOUT RARITY!?!?  Can someone stick a thermometer in the ground to see if Hell just froze over?  Well in any case, it’s time we find out just what happened at the Sisterhooves Social that Applejack and Rarity had to miss last episode.  Will Twilight get a chance to do something for once by filling in?  Maybe, but since this is called Brotherhooves Social, I’m guessing we’re going to focus on someone else and unless it’s Shining Armor, she MAY not be in this episode.  Oh well, there’s always next time.  Will this episode be able to keep up the pace that we’ve been going at since the show returned, or will we see why Rarity should be the focus of every single episode!?  Let’s find out!!

The episode begins on the Apple farm (which coincidentally grows apples) where Granny Smith is making preparations for The Sisterhooves Social while Applejack and Apple Bloom are practicing outside.  Big Mac is helping Granny because he has nothing better to do but spends most of his efforts watching wistfully as Apple Bloom continues to rain affection on Applejack who has over the years completely overshadowed him and all his accomplishments.

Super Recaps: My Little Pony season 5 (Make New Friends but Keep Discord)

We’re back with another episode of everyone’s favorite reboot of a popular 80’s franchise!  Season five has been trucking along for a while now and it’s been mostly good but still doesn’t feel like it’s reached its stride just yet.  Will another appearance by the one and only John de Lancie be what this season needs to get going, or will yet another episode about Discord prove that even a character as dynamic and interesting as him can eventually be overused to the point of diminishing returns?  Let’s find out!!

The episode begins with Discord and Fluttershy having tea and sharing dirty jokes.

“And he asked them ‘what do you call yourselves?’  And then he says… THE ARISTOCRATS!!”     “HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!”

Super Recaps: My Little Pony season 5 (Appleloosa’s Most Wanted)

~ Matt Vetrano ~ 5 Comments

We’re back with another episode of the candy coated horse adventures!  Now so far, season 5 has been pretty up and down, what with episodes like Castle Sweet Castle and Tanks for the Memories not really hitting for me as much as the others we saw.  Will this one be another standout episode for the season, or will it be another mediocre slog in between the better ones that we get this season?  Let’s find out!!

The episode begins with the Cutie Mark Crusaders who are trying to come up with more schemes to get their Cutie Marks while visiting Appleloosa with Applejack.  There’s a big rodeo that’s supposed to take place soon, but the local sheriff is a bit apprehensive because some “low down varmint” is in town and he believes they are there to ruin the rodeo.

“Remember the number one rule of the wild west!  There’s no justice like vigilante justice!  NOW GRAB YOUR PITCHFORKS!!”

Super Recaps: My Little Pony season 5 (Bloom & Gloom)

We’re back with another episode of everyone’s favorite show about talking horses!  That is, except for Mr. Ed of course (of course).  Wow.  Did I really do a Mr. Ed joke?  ANYWAY!!  After the disappointment that was Castle Sweet Castle, this one has a lot to make up for.  Will this one prove that the previous episode was a fluke, or will this one continue the downward spiral that last week’s episode predicted?  Let’s find out!!

The episode begins with the CMC finding out that Babs Seed had gotten her Cutie Mark in hair styling!  Does this mean we get to see her go to barber college!?  This happy news however prompts the others to ask some questions that I’m shocked the show is actually addressing!  Questions such as what if they don’t like their Cutie Mark and what happens to their friendship once one of them DOES get one?

“What if I get a barber Cutie Mark too!?”     “What’s wrong with that?”     “I don’t want to be a barber!”     “THEN WHY WOULD YOU GET A BARBER CUTIE MARK!?”
