"With winter quickly approaching, Rainbow Dash has a difficult time accepting the fact that Tank is going to have to hibernate for the entire season, so she decides the best solution would be to prevent winter from ever arriving."

Hey, after this episode you and izzy can change your profile pictures back!... unless you want to stay that way...

 

Looks alright, but I'm not really expecting much from a Rainbow Dash episode, so maybe I'll like it more because of low expectations. It'll be cool if they go into more details about how weather in Equestria works.

Oh yeah we need a new bet! Umm maybe... I bet Rainbow Dash will say the word "awesome" at least once.

Please Squint, no, they're hideous!!

 

I'm hoping there's more bonding between RD and Tank, they don't show the pets enough, in my opinion.

And speaking of which, what the hell happened to Owlicious?

Anyways, I actually really liked the episode, song and all. It reminded me more of S1, when things were just simpler. The crying scene at the end was way overdone, though.

Had a hard time caring about this episode. I couldnt really feel anything for Rainbow cause Tank was just gonna sleep for awhile. and Tank didnt have anything to say.

 

It was alright I guess. Kinda getting sick of Ponyville though, want them to actually go some where now.

 

Also have they broken the academy record for songs?

There's been at least a small song in every episode except the second part of the opener, and I'm hoping this trend doesn't continue. Songs are nice but they take away from plot development.

And then tank turned into Ash's Pidgeot. "I'll come for you one day." And then they completely disappear forever. On a more serious note, I like this episode. I thought the premise was a little out of character, considering she's a weather pony and probably knows how much stopping winter would totally fuck up nature. I did like the actual content in the episode, though. It had me actually laughing out loud, which I can't say an episode of MLP has done in a while. I particularly like the part where they were arguing about names.

That's was the worst episode, out of every episode in the season, ever. The only thing I liked was the 4 weather ponies. The rest of it? Rainbow being a cry baby and destroying a entire weather factory over a turtle. No consequence either. She just fucked up a ENTIRE factory, probably screwed up Cloudsdale, without a single consequence. I didn't feel the slightest bit bad. Even Twilight wasn't that much of a baby when her entire home was nuked by Tirek

15:04 Wilhelm scream...AGAIN.

 

They're still getting better and better each time. This was an episode that I found myself laughing out loud to--not something I usually do with ponies.

Despite Dash being a weather pony, what she did didn't really feel out of character. She's always been rather thick and hot-headed, and she does bear the element of loyalty, and I know firsthand how strong a bond with your pet can be, and hey, no cringe-worthy moments in this episode! That's always a bonus!

 

I was really observant of the stuff that was going on around the ponies. Seeing how they set up winter and how the weather factory works was really cool. You can tell the animators had fun coming up with the scenes. I was particularly amused by how they store lightning bolts.

 

One of the scenes that I appreciated the most was near the end of the episode when Dash was lying in her bed, finally accepting the fact that Tank was going to hibernate. What she was doing were the symptoms of full-on depression and it is not a fun feeling. Seeing her get into that state of mind and come out okay because of help from her friends was something I can relate to, and despite it being a kid's show, and thus making the "happily ever after" ending mandatory, I still appreciate Dash a little more for making it through that.

 

I really hope this trend keeps up in the season. The episodes have all been excellent so far and I'm really looking forward to what's coming next. I don't think I've been this excited for ponies since season 2.

This episode. It was powerful. It focused on a VERY important  point of life that everyone,will have to go through. Some specific points in the episode actually were pulling at my feelings a bit. Grief is a shitty feeling, It's hard to go through, and it's harder to get rid of it. Take it from someone who has semi frequent depression and anxiety attacks. I would LOVE to see more episodes like this in the future, it conveyed a DEEP and empowering message. Respect to the writers on this episode. I'm having a beam of hope ever since the shockwave from Flight to the Finish. 10/10.

One other thing I really appreciated in  the episode was the continuity. It was really refreshing to see the Running of the Leaves again.

 

Also, another funny scene was the one right near the end with Applejack crying on the inside. Character moments are great!

The references were real. I died.

 

Now that I've had some time to think it over, I'm actually on the line about this episode. The song didn't click much for me, probably since I was expecting a less cheerful song about completely screwing Winter over, but overall the episode's fine. The grief-acceptance cycle was a bit rushed, too, but hey, it's a mature topic that most of us would rather not go into that they tried to convey, and it's a decent job.

 

Cloudsdale is best mobile season deployer, and winter nukes.

 

It's something,

 

EDIT: Right after Twi says winter is coming (14:50) , Wilhelm scream. They just put the entire season's fanservice into this episode, didn't they?

Yeah, the song for this episode was very forgettable. I can't remember any of the lyrics and it didn't bring anything to the table that made me want to listen to it again, sadly. Actually, it reminded me a lot of "My Past is Not Today" which had a MUCH stronger message and musically also had a bigger impact.

 

Not that great for Rainbow's first solo song, but it was ok I guess.

You know, there was a time when cartoon characters causing havoc and chaos was celebrated and enjoyed by everyone. We've really gotten way too soft if we're getting this worked up over some harmless comic mischief. 

 

And I'm glad she didn't get caught. Girl is straight up ninja. 


There was no consequence because she never got caught. That's the lesson here: don't get caught.
