Episode [2.20] – “It’s About Time”

This week, on My Little Pony

“Is there some sort of epic pony war in the distant future or something?”

“Actually, I’m from next Tuesday morning…”

Twilight's chalkboard involves too much Lorentz transformation and not enough of the usual vector calculus we see on Cheerilee's chalkboard.
Twilight Sparkle is visited by her future self who tries to convey a message of great importance but vanishes before being able to do so. Present Twilight, convinced the message was related to impending cataclysm, rallies all of Ponyville to disaster-proof the town in hopes of staving off any such disaster. Unfortunately, despite her best efforts, she begins to look more and more like Solid Snake her future self, a sure sign that the apocalypse is still nigh. Can Twilight solve the puzzle before next Tuesday dawns and spells certain doom for all of Equestria, or at least before Spike plows through every last tub of ice cream in the house?

Episode [2.17] – “Hearts and Hooves Day”

This week, on My Little Pony

“Only an hour? Pfff, we can pull that off in a second!”

Nothing happened here.  Nnnnope.
In a desperate attempt to make sure Miss Cheerilee has a Very Special Somepony for Hearts and Hooves Day, the Cutie Mark Crusaders do everything they can to hook her up with Big Macintosh. When their efforts turn to arcane alchemical magicks, though, they quickly find themselves facing the downfall of Ponyville brought on by love-induced dereliction of duty or… (retch)… honey-bunny snuggle-babies.

Episode [2.16] – “Read it and Weep”

This week, on My Little Pony

“What’s this? ‘Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Stone’.”
“This is the first story in the series. I own all of them.”
“No thanks. I so don’t read. I’m a world-class athlete. Reading’s for eggheads like you, Twilight. Heh, no offense, but I am not reading. It’s undeniably, unquestionably, uncool.”

Rainbow Dash is laid up in the hospital for several days after a flying accident leaves her with a broken wing. Twilight recommends a book to her to help pass the time, but Rainbow Dash absolutely refuses to take part in such an “eggheaded” activity. But when the lack of anything else to do finally causes her to cave, she discovers to her horror that she actually enjoys it. Could Rainbow Dash actually be an egghead herself?

“What Pinkie–!”

I feel the NEED... the need for STEED. No I'm not even sorry.
Applejack heads off to Canterlot to compete in the Equestria Rodeo Competition and bring home some prize money to repair some damage to the town caused by a certain grey pegasus.

“Yes, I know. I will. I am!”

Mr. and Mrs. Cake have had twin foals! Pinkie is eager to play with them, and when the need for a babysitter comes up, she signs up immediately, thinking this is her chance to have fun with the babies as well as proving she’s more responsible than anyone else is willing to believe she is.
