So Saturday means new My Little Pony episode right?
Actually 10am Eastern time (IIRC). At least it's 10am for me here in Eastern USA. They moved it back.

Also, they have had sort of an erratic schedule when it comes to updates, sometimes taking two weeks between episodes. However, I believe for the next several weeks they'll be on schedule, one a week(end).
Cutie Pox -> The Mysterious Mare-Do-Well -> May the Best Pet Win -> Sweet and Elite.

(all according to EquestriaDaily)

So, let me get this straight.

Twilight, the most powerful pony in all of Equestria (besides the Princesses), couldn't make Apple Bloom's cutie mark stay for more than 3 seconds. Yet some stupid native concoction from Zecora can kick start a pox? Giving her multiple cutie marks? Applejack sounds different too.

I am not pleased.

Meh. As usual, I'm rather forgiving when it comes to new episodes, so I liked it. However, I think this random poster sums up my general feelings:

ZeusAssassin said:
I hate to say this, but I think this was the weakest episode so far this season. And this is coming from someone who likes the CMC as main characters in an episode. Everything just felt pretty average when compared to other episodes of this same season.

The humor was alright with some funny moments (French Applebloom FTW) and the plot was interesting enough to carry an episode (Just barely). However, it's nowhere near the level of Lesson Zero (For humor) and Sisterhooves Social (For drama and character interaction). This whole episode felt like a filler to me. I'll elaborate more on this later.

Plus, this is probably THE first time in the show's history where I felt that the pacing was too slow. It took us two thirds of an episode to reach the big problem of the day instead of the usual one third. That second third simply dragged on with Applebloom showing off to her classmates. I was hoping to see other reactions of the mane six and maybe some drama b/w the CMC about their friendship now that Applebloom has gotten her cutie mark. But nope, the writers felt that showboating Applebloom was the way to go.

And of course the last third. Although it was humorous and well paced, I felt that nothing really got accomplished. After Applebloom delivered her friendship lesson, she went back to being her usual self. Why? Where's the character growth? And with that, the episode ends and I feel like nothing important happened. This is why I felt like this episode was filler. It never tried to be a humorous episode. It never tried to be serious and develop character. It didn't introduce anybody new. It really wasn't anything remarkable.

I give this episode a C overall.

However, I have to point out:
- AppleLisp was gosh-darn cute. I'm too impathient to be pathient.
- AppleFrench was equally awexome ("Sacre bleu! Fleur de marque de cutie!")
- Didn't catch it because I never watched this movie, but at 00:54... you can see Lebowski-pony!. Schweet.
- "Is it your 'Zebra-sense' a-tinglin'?" Yay for racism/spider-mare reference. :p

Holy-cow-those-are-awesome, -Derp-. I just can't keep abreast of all these awexome Video-game/Pony PMVs they keep making. Gratzi.

A pony my friend gave me and she said it symbolized our friendship, because friendship is magic. And then we painted the ponies to customize them.

Yeah, the episode was a little lackluster. I'll probably grow into it as time goes on. Btw, great PMV's everyone. Especially the one posted by Billy. Moar?

It was an OK episode, like with Rarity&SweatyBelle. When I'm not watching my favorite, Fluttershy or Luna, I cannot call 'my most favorite' ;>

It was actually entertaining and the notes I would make are kind of what was said on the previous page. It was nice that the episode included other ponies as well, the previous one with Rarity was just AJ. This time Fluttershy was missing or did I not see her?

Always like to see:

That's disappointing to hear. Very disappointing. Also, yeah. Fluttershy was missing that episode. A lot of ponies are missing. While I like the new approach they're doing with the letters, I miss seeing most of the ponies together every episode.

^ Yes, the next place to watch them, thanks :>

I also like when the other ponies have their letters, it's more fun like that than it was in season 1. And this Cutie Pox episode specifically had each of the 6 ponies but Fluttershy, so it was better from that point that the previous episode.
