MLP:FiM Season 2 Review #15 - The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000

So last episode was a total bust as an Applejack episode, instead being a Derpy/Pinkie episode, depending on who you ask. But this week looks to be different, as the serious business that is apple cider goes down!

My gosh what I would do for a glass of apple cider right now. That stuff's delicious.

My Little Pony Episode Review Schedule Change

Okay, no doubt you've noticed that I've been having trouble meeting the Saturday date consistently with the MLP Episode Reviews. So to make things easier on myself, and to make things more predictable for you, I'm going to officially say that, from now on, they should be up on the Sundays after the episode is out instead of on that Saturday. Hopefully this will allow me a bit more time to mull over the review as well as allow for times when my alarm clock doesn't wake me up to see the episode!

In conclusion, this will probably be better for everyone involved. See you tomorrow with the newest review!

MLP:FiM Season 2 Review #14 - The Last Roundup

Applejack has always been criminally underrepresented in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, having relatively few episodes in comparison to the rest of the Mane 6 and simply not being nearly as interesting. Season two has been working to change this somewhat, with Applejack getting a lot more screen time and some interesting character to her name, and The Last Roundup continues that trend by giving her another episode to her own.

...or... does it?

MLP:FiM Season 2 Review #13 - Baby Cakes

Previously on MLP Episode Reviews...

"Still, it stands out a bit among pony episodes for its oddities."

Haha, Jameson, haha. You thought Granny Smith's shenanigans were crazy?

You ain't seen nothing yet.

MLP:FiM Season 2 Review #12 - Family Appreciation Day

So the winter break is over, and we're all no-doubt back to school or work. Or both, even. But in spite of the daily-life shenanigans that are back in full-force, it's all good because MLP is back too!

And because this season really likes Apple Bloom, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity, here's another episode focusing on Apple Bloom, and costarring Granny Smith! Because everyone loves old people.

The review will contain spoilers, as always!

MLP:FiM Season 2 Review #11 - Hearth's Warming Eve

So after this season having our first episodes blatantly based off of real-life holidays, here we have our obligatory Christmas episode! Technically it's set up as decidedly ambiguous like the Halloween episode was earlier, so you could call it a "winter holiday" episode, but let's be honest: the episode's filled with decorated trees and wreaths and the like. It's a Christmas episode.

Although admittedly I would've liked to see a pony menorah. Menorahs are kiiiind of awesome.

MLP:FiM Season 2 Review #10 - Secret of My Excess

If you're sick of episodes focusing on various ponies, you're in luck, because this week everyone's favorite dragon gets his own episode! The closest Spike's ever gotten to having an episode to himself was Owl's Well that Ends Well, and I don't think anyone really liked that episode much, so this promises to be something interesting at the very least!

And it also promises to have a more grown-up Spike for part of it, and thus promises to give the fanartists a ton of draconian inspiration. And that doesn't seem like a bad thing to me!
