Season 9 Discussion Thread [Warning: SPOILERS!!!!!]

I liked Common Ground. I mean it wasn’t ‘holy shit wow’, but it was… nice.

@Philweasel
 
I feel like “nice” was precisely the feel Common Ground was gunning for. Wholesome. That’s a good word.

@Philweasel  
Yeah it was nice but it seemed to lack energy IMO

@gingerninja666  
Yeah, it was really nice. Even if there’s not much oomf to it, there’s really nothing wrong with it. Honestly wish there were more episodes like it. Just nice and wholesome

@Philweasel
 
It certainly wasn’t original and quite light on the whole entertainment value. The homage aspect towards Patton’s ex-wife via bringing in the new family to voice the characters is what keeps it from dipping below average for me given how it also needed to justify taking up a slot in the last season.

Might not see tomorrow’s ep. Bummer.

@Dustcan  
Why not?

How likely is it that the Student Six defeat Grogar in the finale?

@Background Pony #7BDA  
Very.

@Background Pony #7BDA  

 
Very Very

Packed schedule.
 
I got my niece’s birthday party, MLP, and tomorrow’s my plasma donation day. The birthday party starts like 2 or 3 hours after the episode but would probably end after the donation place closes. So either I figure out if I can squeeze my donation in that time between or I have to skip one of them.
 
Family, saving lives, or ponies. I’m not sure which is more important. lol

Episodes 10 to 13 are in English now.
 
And || e13 ends on a cliffhanger||

@Shimmering Spectacle  
No it doesn’t, you cheeky sod.

Anyone have a link to the english version of the last crusade?

@Background Pony #7BDA  
They’ll help, but they will need Cozy Glow, Chrysalis and Tirek’s help.

Well, recent events have eliminated every possible bingo line from >>1929818. Several have been deconfirmed in a way that eliminates all but three, and one of those is a contradiction line while the other two intersect on a panel about zebras, which is about as likely to happen as somepony dropping the F-bomb.

13 episodes left and it’s pretty easy to see that a lot of unresolved elements will remain like that for good.

There’s nothing left that needs to be resolved to me, now that we’ve seen Scootaloo’s parents and lesbian aunts.

@UserAccount  

 
Yes, to you.

@Anonycat  
Yes, to me.

@Anonycat  
I actually have two things on my Bogus Bingo for that, one for less than 10 threads being resolved/less than 10 episodes resolving threads, and one for introducing more than it answers.

@UserAccount  
Yes, for you indeed.
 
Personally, I would have liked to see less students or less retarded Celestia and more stuff like a Cakes marriage flashback, or about the day Pinkie Pie cme to work for them, or a Pets origins episode, a zebras episode, a Spike origins one, an Apple Parents episode explaining their ultimate fate, or a day at Mayor Mare’s office, etc.

@Anonycat  
Somehow I doubt the CMC will be appearing in anything but background cameos for the rest of the season…

@Anonycat  
The zebras and Apple family thing could be good, but they’re not essential to me.

@Wiimeiser  
Somehow I fear the mane 6 will get nothing but cameos while the show adds even MORE new characters and dedicates all remaining time to the students and such.  
I already gave up on Spike getting a decent episode, answers about his origins and even a decent closure: He began the series as a household helper, and will end the series still washing dishes and sweeping floors while everyone else got to be something.  
Feels bad, man.
