MLP:FIM S4E24 - "Equestria Games" - Grading & Discussion

[Count Zero]

Maybe the Equestria Games are like the Stanley Cup - only really good when somepony dies?

But I agree that the security measures weren't very good. What if a stray arrow hits a pony?

I LIKE CURLING AND FEEL SORRY FOR THOSE WHO DON'T.

Good episode overall. I appreciate the producers making the games a character episode rather than actually about the games; that works for me because otherwise we'd be re-treading the stuff we've already don in the episode running up to the games themselves. Spike's stage mojo was a little unfocused, but at least it wasn't a direct repeat of Fluttershy's stagefright earlier this season. Plus there is plenty of world building payoff here, between the Griffon nation (GOTTA go there someday!), the return of the "horses" from Saddle Arabia, some other delegates we've never seen before, etc.

And I also liked the ice archery. Seems awful dangerous to have ONE errant arrow potentially cause disaster in the stands... Shouldn't some pegasi have been minding the clouds above?

I betcha that weather manager got fired.

Banished to the moon, more like.

But seriously, do ponies ever get fired for screwing up? And what happens to them, then? Is there a place for washed up ponies?

I've always hoped they'd come live with me, but alas, no luck.
