Well, I just watched the second episode of MLPFiM, nice Star Wars reference at the end.

^^^Just watched it, too.


Wow, where to start?

The different ponies' flipped personalities were funny, but did start to grate after a bit. I laughed so hard when Twilight jumped Applejack and Pinkie Pie. I never knew Twilight scrapped like that. For some reason, I also laughed when Rarity said, "I thought we were never going to speak of that."

Sooo, Rarity's a marshmallow, Scootaloo's a chicken or a dodo (depending upon who you talk to), Fluttershy's a tree, and now Spike's the new Rainbow Dash? Oh, I don't even want to know where those 'ships are sailing.

It was sad when Discord finally broke Twilight's spirit. To see her go all gray and her tears make the broken heart...

=)) at the rest of the girls' effort to catch Dashie.

To be honest, I thought the final battle would be a touch more epic. Also, I was sure the Cutie Mark Crusaders would be involved somehow.

OMG, the Star Wars ending! Princess Celestia=Princess Leia, Twilight=Luke Skywalker, Applejack=Han Solo, and Spike=R2D2. Like one of the comments said on the feed I watched, all that needed was for Pinkie Pie to let out a Chewbacca-like roar at the end. Heck, even the ED music sounded like John Williams' Star Wars score.
Overall, a pretty good second part.

So, of course, guess what I also decided to watch...Star Wars.

I also learned that Star Wars: The Old Republic now has a release date of 20 December. :)

Just watched Albert Bartlett's lecture and i'd recommend each of you to sit down and watch it too. Even if it seems boring at first glance it's quite interesting when you think about the facts he is talking about. :) :-B

The 7th video is my favourite.

Rad: That's where I was. The video was up but the captioning wasn't ready yet. I have the Channel bookmarked.

Edit: Actually, it's STILL not ready.

Oh? I had watched it, but hadn't noticed that the captioning was not done... sorry.

Edit for change..

Looked at the link I had up, clicked on CC button. It's captioned. Are you viewing at 360 720 or 1080?

Edit: Nevermind. Works now. Apparently you need to click CC and then click on the 'transcribe sound'. It'll ask if you wish to use it and then you just click 'ok' button.

I really enjoyed the last MLP:FiM episode. Discord got what was coming to him and we finally saw what was required to corrupt Twilight Sparkle (losing all hope. :( ) The first episode was better though, contrasting the first season, where I thought part 2 of the show was more emotionally impacting and an all around stronger episode. It still was super awesome anyway though.

Waiting on a friend to finish up stuff so we can watch the ep together.

She held back from watching it when she found out the captioning wasn't working.

Edit: Okay. That was epic.

Poor Spike, though D: All those scrolls.

Yeah. That would be pretty gross. Reminds me of food poisoning. Poor kid.
