I'm excited to see where this one goes.
Plus, I always like seeing more of Canterlot, it's such a pretty design.

I agree. This is a pretty surprising turn of events. Usually these sort of things are just forgotten, like Twist. I wonder what the lesson will be and whether or not Spike will have any input that isn't fucking useless.

Well she at least had acquaintances. Moon Dancer and that bunch. I'm thinking about the first minute or so after the intro in S1E1. She refers to the ponies she meet as "girls" in the same way she does the other mane 6.. So maybe even close acquaintances.

She got invited to a party in the first episode. DYEWTS?
She just didn't go through with it because she was a shut-in.

i think they were acquaintances becuase they lived in the same block or are students of the same school?
You cant make a party without inviting all your class, right?
>>149825
we all know that the show went to shit after that.
Its kind of funny that she discovered the magic of friendship becuase she was a loner and then they shoved that she has a BBBF and babysitter. So much for being a social outcast that didnt want to talk to people.
Now they are shoving those "old" friends now.
But i will wait to see what happens.
Maybe just maybe it turns out she was ignoring potential friends in canterlot and those ponies got really sad becuase twilight was a shutin idiot.

Okay. How the fuck was this place just left the way it was if it was not only a library but also a place of residence?
Twilight, at the time, was living/working as a student of Celestia. Which means, more likely than not, this living arrangement was at least in part Celestia's doing. And Twilight can't be faulted because the whole "go to Ponyville, make friends" was at the time seemingly little more than a field trip. Plenty of things she had to worry about in Ponyville which means this little place had to wait.
Well, wait it did! What was Celestia doing in the meantime about it? This is a library, which is actually a very important thing to her. Those books contain knowledge and history of Equestria, knowledge and history that she herself bore witness to and was a part of. That dusty old tome on the prophecy of the Elements, anyone? And since Celestia has a very close and meaningful relationship with Twilight, knowing the connection it has to her would no doubt require she at least check up on the place. Organize it a little. Up the security. Remind Twilight about it. Bitch visits Canterlot quite a bit, you'd think the fact that Twilight more-or-less permanently moved into the Golden Oak Library until Tirek blew it up lol she'd go back for something.
I mean, the fact Twilight handed Moondancer a key at least dictates no one could just barge in and do whatever they want. But since this was also a place of residence that means it'd be secured as such; I doubt a library would operate similarly to a vacation home.

The entire episode I kept thinking about Background Pony, and that one chapter where Lyra has to witness Twilight and Moondancer stop being friends because she couldn't bring them back together like old times. Right in the feels, man.

It's probably royal property but Celestia's got her own royal library for important books; chances are it was dusty and disused before Twilight was assigned to it and remains that way after.

36a936 No.150626
9/10? Maybe 8/10 if I find more wrong with it but I was pleasantly surprised. One of the best episodes this season. Moondancer being a recolor was silly but it works for implying she's the same as Twi.
I guess Moondancer never found out Twilight was too busy saving Equestria? I mean, I can understand her giving up on friends after her "best friend" didn't show up. I can also believe she never put 2 and 2 together that Twi saving Equestria the next day was related to her book reading that night instead of partying. She wouldn't know if she were studying Equestrian history or magic when that happened.
So everything seems to make sense, except Moondancer seemed 100% against Twi when she showed up instead of maybe some confusion emotions I would have expected. Considering she seemed super into her, near straight-crush levels.
>>150289
Wow I didn't notice. Wonder if it confirms what we've been suspecting since the premier.
>>150256
I'm glad I'm not the only one who got that feeling. But not specifically because of the mane. Honestly I tried to ignore it cause I knew I was reading too much into things, but the ending and that photo really makes it hard.
>>150304
I agree about Spike. And I'd really love an alternate series with Moondancer as long as it stands on its own enough. As much as I'd love more of the original bookhorse, having a replacement bookhorse retreading old ground might not be good enough.

Great episode. I've just watched S01E01 by chance, didn't know what's the new episode about and there, I got a bonus recap briefing before watching it.

Finally remembered something that bothered me.
Colgate at the start seemed like an insincere friend. Just wanting the pic for the fame or whatever. I mean their history to begin with barely seemed to be acquaintance. I was expecting a plot about Twilight's status being used but then everything is dropped and Colgate is later seen being the best of the group. Trying to keep the convo on track and interesting when they invited Moondancer for donuts.
So what I'm getting at is that her personality seemed a little inconsistent.

>9/10? Maybe 8/10 if I find more wrong with it but I was pleasantly surprised. One of the best episodes this season. Moondancer being a recolor was silly but it works for implying she's the same as Twi.
>I guess Moondancer never found out Twilight was too busy saving Equestria? I mean, I can understand her giving up on friends after her "best friend" didn't show up. I can also believe she never put 2 and 2 together that Twi saving Equestria the next day was related to her book reading that night instead of partying. She wouldn't know if she were studying Equestrian history or magic when that happened.
>So everything seems to make sense, except Moondancer seemed 100% against Twi when she showed up instead of maybe some confusion emotions I would have expected. Considering she seemed super into her, near straight-crush levels.
All of this is ignoring her immediate dive into depression after Twilight skipped her party, and then left Canterlot without saying goodbye. By the time we see her again, she looks like the kind of pony who never bothered with any kind of social interaction, including reading the news. Just library, home. Library, home, like the episode demonstrated.
Anyways, great episode. 8/10, relate a lot to Moondancer. Would watch again. Doesn't make up for MMC

Speaking of insincere, the moment they got to Minuette's house, I couldn't help but think Twilight was being really self-important with that line about her old friends having been suffering because of her.

So her being a Twilight recolor is actually paying homage to her G1 equivalent. Brilliant.
I rewatched this episode again, twice. It's really fantastic and I now think it's the best of the season. Built in a way that ties up loose ends about the first episode that we didn't know were untied. How many series revisit material from the pilot? That stuff's supposed to stay dead, man, but McCarthy and co. tackled it head on, and Larson hits a a home run. Twilight's interactions with her old friends are 100% relatable and believable. And this, of course, builds to some feels with Moondancer at the party – and for me, triggered some introspection. That's rare.
And fucking Minuette. I smile every time that boisterous mare-qt talks. I no longer doubt it, this episode is…

Slightly unrelated, but one of my favorite moments was watching Moondancer lift Twilight out of the way with her magic.

I don't know about that. At this point Twilight recalled enough about her that she knew that if she didn't force her hand hoof with some hard bargaining she would just retreat further into her books. It made sense to me.
>>151093
You know, maybe that's why this episode is so well-liked. It's finally that much needed bridge between the pre-MMC Twilight, learning about friendship without fully understanding it; with post-MMC Twilight, the Princess of Friendship. In reconciling her old friendships it's clear that she's learned from her past experiences, making steady progress with amends, but she doesn't manage this without her struggling through her old flaws. Both Twi's make an appearance here.
So the real question here is…are McCarthy et. al. mending fences…or our hearts?

Sure.
Minuette was super bubbly and outgoing, not far from Pinkie Pie, but far enough to get along well with her.
Lemon Hearts seemed a little more reserved. She seemed cool, doesn't want to hurt anypony's feelings.
Twinkleshine seemed more comfortable with letting others know what's bugging her. See how she reacted to Minuette asking if they were having a good time at the dinner.

It got some good gags, used the same clip with the same music from S1 that triggered some nostalgia factor innit. Spike was cool in this episode and him talking to Donut Joe just makes me happy for some reason.
I think the reason why Moondancer was taken aback by the absence of Twilight is because, hey, someone like you. Comrades in arm! Stick together! the sort. Even if her reaction is a bit exaggerated but it's understandable.
I used to feel the same way
Something that bothers me is how huge is Twi's living space and why there are cobweb in Minuette's house. She's confirmed for slob?

I don't care about the humor or predictable story. My main concerns are that the episode is fun to watch and that the story makes sense both logically and doesn't force anyone out of character. It was a cute season 1ish slice of life, didn't need slapstick gags everywhere.
Also kinda strange you're getting caught up on the new personalities here. They weren't the main focus so I didn't pay attention to that. Minuette really stood out. But they were all realistic mild personalities. Sorta like AJ. They don't all need exaggerated personalities.

Now you're just twisting it. "More outgoing that that one" indeed doesn't say much, but that wasn't the original statement.
>Lemon Hearts seemed a little more reserved. She seemed cool, doesn't want to hurt anypony's feelings.
… says that she's bit more shy (or less not-shy, if you will) and kind/sensitive. How are those not personality traits?
They weren't exactly the main focus of the episode and they're not mane characters, so they weren't as flashed out as mane 6 in ep. 1 (well, mostly just Lemon Hearts and Twinkleshine), but they had at least a bit of personality.

First 10/10 episode since Season 2. Holy shit!
That was amazing. I didn't quite shed any tears as I did in the last 10/10 episode, "A Friend in Deed," but I came close.
This episode was realistic, not very predictable, and man, it hit hard.
At first I thought that it would just be like, Oh, Twilight learns that her friends were okay without her and that it wasn't a big deal.
Instead, they wisely went in the exact opposite direction, and the call backs to the very first episode gave the first episode much deeper meaning and made Twilight a much more interesting character, because, hot damn, she actually changed a lot in a demonstrable way, and it was actually acknowledged that actions have consequences and that she used to be a fucking bitch.
Serious depth, very mature tone, actually cared about continuity, heavy feels, relatability for anyone who's ever made bad choices that negatively affected themselves or others or anyone negatively affected by such things.

That said, I'm with you here. I just keep coming back to this episode: it has insanely high rewatch value. In addition to little things that prove to be very pleasing (Minuette's adorable chuckle, the Italian themed music in the closing scene – referencing something?), there's something I think is fantastic that hasn't been mentioned yet in this thread, and that's the table conversations the Larsonator wrote. These ponies are clearly adults making active contributions to society – Lemon Hearts oversees state functions at the God damn palace, for crying out loud. Not only do I think that supports the main narrative (it's never too late to rekindle old friendships), but in a world where /pol/ complains about how anime is exalting the juvenile, I find it great that we're fresh off an episode that does the exact opposite.
This is what we want, Hasbro. Not more Equestria Girls.

I can agree with that, definitely like to see that the ponies have jobs and livelihoods while still having girly friendly fun. It paints a nice picture instead of a drab and cynical one about adulthood.
There's something I thought about the other today. I don't think it's necessarily bad, maybe a little unfortunate, or maybe not. Now that we have this episode that goes back all the way to S1E1, and making a big deal of what was otherwise a quick character-establishing scene, now I probably won't see that episode the same way again.
Again, it's a short scene and probably wouldn't affect my enjoyment of rewatching S1, but it's at least one thing about this episode in particular that bugged me a little, or just something I picked up on. Still not really sure how I feel about it. Watching the new episode on my TV, without having an imageboard or a chatroom in front of me, and just sipping coffee after a morning of work, was a feeling I'd deprived myself of for a long, long time. Relaxing. It's what I used to do when I was little; it was summer time, and Digimon was on in the early morning. God, I miss those days, and just watching the show like that brought a little bit of it back to me.
There's nothing quite like sitting back and just enjoying good TV, commercials and all. It's a good, familiar feeling. Had I just watched the show like that instead of tying it so closely to the internet and the fandom, I might have enjoyed it a lot more. Though I still would've been rustled by the S3 finale.

Fucking why? That was just a gayass pegasusfag episode.
>The fuck? The one where Pinkie Pie irritates Cranky Doodle? It was a good enough episode, but it was in no way a tear-jerker
Pinkie Pie fucking took a miserable jackass (literally) who was about ready to fucking end himself, and fixed his entire fucking life. It was beautiful.

Jesus, he just wanted to relax in a log cabin, not harassed to be some kid's friend until she just so happens to reunite him with his old flame. For all we know he could've run into Matilda while doing a run for groceries in Ponyville.

Oof, there we go with the feels. But I got that from this episode too. It's strange, because it is completely the opposite kind of episode from the kinds featured in shows I would watch as a kid (Batman, Pokemon Digimon was the rip off for plebs, yo, Darkwing Duck, etc.), but it evokes that same feeling. Chalk it up to the genuineness of how the characters act in feel, chalk it up to the setting, I don't know.
Or maybe the connection is as simple as this: I found Amending Fences enjoyable as an adult, as I found my 90's cartoons enjoyable as a child. Nothing more.

Could also just be that you remember how little you worried about your time or your responsibilities when you were little, because you had less or none of them. That made the good times that much more gratifying and memorable, rather than contentious and stressful. Back then, it was just you and the TV. In that programming block at whatever time, nothing else mattered.
Now, when you're an adult, you have more to worry about, so it's easier to forget how to relax when you've got the time. It's easier to get frustrated at yourself over things you did or should have done by now, and sometimes you'll bite off more than you can choose because you want to prove something, because you don't know better, or because you feel like time's against you. You're thinking more about accomplishing something or tending to your responsibilities than taking the time relax; and when you're tired, you just want some instant gratification to make you feel better before you move on with your day or decide to end it by going to sleep.
Basically, it isn't so much the show, but you and your life that affects how you enjoy something. That doesn't mean that shit isn't shit, but when you remember how to recapture your childhood while moving on with your adulthood, you stop seeking cheap one-hit thrills and focusing on the shit every second of the day.
Anyways, I think FiM is an excitingly unique show in kid's entertainment and highly enjoyable, because it captured my attention like those old shows used to, and using better production values and a simply appealing art and animation style. It's repelled and lost some of it's enjoyment value for me with what's happened to it since S3, but it's still a good show that's worth enjoying.
I enjoyed Digimon more. Especially S3. Pokemon had better production values but didn't hang onto my attention like Digimon did

Funny how I only seem to check the catalog when this thread is on Page 12.
But I couldn't pass up a chance to say that your reply distills the tenuous introspective thoughts this thread has induced into a short essay that summarizes my situation almost perfectly. Especially the second paragraph; sitting around feels like a waste of time, a feeling which I can only shed by watching pone.
I don't know if your response was off the cuff or paraphrased from elsewhere – we're certainly not the first to ponder why the show appeals to adults – but nonetheless, very eloquently stated and worth preserving.
Now time to watch an episode and remember simpler times. Maybe something from S1.

It's still going on, but just in one thread. It shouldn't have been archived yet, I don't think.
I just watched Bird in the Hoof recently. Soft-balled or not, it's one of my favorite episodes of the show. There's just something perfect and cozy about it. I get the same feeling watching Fall Weather Friends.

Look Before You Sleep is by far one of my favorites. It's just a really fun and silly episode.
The scene with the marshmallows reminded me of The Sandlot, another fun and cozy movie about being a kid with a bunch of other kids. Nice how a little girls' show and a family film about boys can be linked together like that by virtue of a simple joke involving s'mores.

"Look Before You Sleep" was responsible for one of my favorite IRL pony moments. The night before we first watched that episode, my wife and I had an argument that mirrored the sequence with Rarity and Applejack fighting over the bedsheets so well that it was uncanny. When Rarity said, "Get up! I have to make the bed again." it was word for word what my wife had said to me. We were dying by the end. We have considered Applejack and Rarity to be married since then. I would not be surprised in the least if Charlotte Fullerton based that bit on her own real life.

The cool thing about "Look Before You Sleep" is that it is like an Alfred Hitchcock short. About Ninety-five percent of it takes place in one room, and the whole story is just a handful of characters with an air of tension between them arguing and playing their own games. It did a ridiculous lot with next to nothing. There were no stagey musical numbers, no lazar battles, no princesses, no relatives. It was just dialogue.

But that's part of this episode's brilliance.
1. It's an homage >>151078
2. It gives depth to Moondancer's character without any dialog. In the photos and flashbacks she's styled exactly like a recolored Twilight, including her mane. This makes it clear that not only were they (socially inept) best friends, but she totally fucking idolized Twilight. That's why when Twi blew off her party it shook her to the core and fucked up her already shaky social life in spite of the fact her other friends showed up. Twilight was oblivious to this fact until she tried rekindling her old friendships. People that hate the episode are still oblivious to this fact.

Because a villian being excatly like twily only not nice, is totally new.
Except for Trixie, who was like Twily but arrogant.
And Sunset shitmer, who was like twily, but a bitch.
And starlight clitmer who was like twily but abused her power.
You starting to see the pattern here?

Seriously nigger? Complain all you want about those other episodes but the situation in Amending Fences is totally different and unique for the show so far.

No, I think >>162104 has a point. Moondancer may not be a villain, but she is an antagonist. So was Trixie at first, before Magic Duel. Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer, however, had evil intent, as well as were hostile.
