Slice of Life: The Derpy and Gummy bits
Those were my favorite parts of Slice of Life as well. I also generally dislike the episode because most of it was a boring use of the overall 22 minutes.
The Lyra and Bon Bon/Sweetie Drops bit was especially lousy because all it basically boiled down to Lyra being a whiny little bitch because Bon Bon had a past life but started a new life in Ponyville and changed her name and left her old life behind… before even meeting Lyra.
The dialogue in the scene was bland and vague… “none of that was real?” Even for a little kids show they should have made it more clear as to whether or not Lyra was wondering if Sweetie Drops planned to seek out Lyra and get to know her over the long-term for some secret-agent ulterior motive instead of “real friendship”.. or whatever Lyra was whimpering like a little bitch for. I understand that there’s a time limit of 22 minutes, but the dialogue was way too short and basic.
Also, all that Doc did was go bowling, how boring.
