Season 6 is upon us! I thought it got off to a pretty good start all things considered. I was a bit leery going into it since they're trying to incorporate a lot into it (both the introduction of the baby and Starlight's subplot), but I thought they balanced the two really well and the episode was paced much better than most two-parters. As in, they actually had a denouement rather than ending right after the climax 2 minutes before the end of the show. My only real critique is that Starlight's subplot could've done with a bit more development, but that would've thrown off the pacing, so I can't complain too much about it. As for Starlight herself, I'm not sure I'd consider myself a fan yet, but I do think that they handled her about as well as they could given the circumstances of her introduction. The real pleasant surprise in these episodes was Spike; he was actually competent and helpful the whole way through and had a pretty good rapport with Starlight. He even gives Twilight some valuable advice near the end. It's really nice that they showed that he can make valuable contributions to the team. He's still kind of childish, but he has enough maturity that he's really believable as an assistant to Twilight rather than just her lackey. I hope they keep that up for the rest of the season, since it's cool to not see him being the butt monkey whenever he's in the spotlight. Also, this happened: So there's that.

Yeah that was a really great one for AJ. Mainly because it was actually about her and didn't have her family take up most of the spotlight.

She did at the beginning of the show, but she's mostly grown out of it by now.

Being on the outside of an inside joke is the worst.

Yeah some of them have pretty... odd designs.

Sounds like fun. Make sure you post your reactions to each episode.

So how many ponies do you need to watch to get caught up?

Indeed. It is very important. Aaaaand I just realized I might not be able to watch the episodes live. Crap.

Better than nothing, I guess.

This is why I prefer to save up the money myself and just by the thing outright so I'm not stuck paying over time like that. Of course, it also means I can't buy more expensive stuff. Either way, it kind of sucks.

Do you have all the pieces of that yet, or are they still coming in?

I know it's St. Patrick's day but we really didn't do much here other than wear green.

@applelight: That's probably how it's going to go this summer. Today was actually pretty nice, though it's supposed to get cold again for the next few days before spring finally sticks. At which point I can start having cookouts.
I really need to start playing Oblivion again.

Good, that's very much how I wanted that bit to come across. I'm honestly kind of surprised nobody questioned what happened to the Nightmares or why they didn't bust Spike and Luna after they got booted out of the dreams. I'm just glad it worked out, because a lot of the plot is determined by Luna's reaction to them.
