Ehhhh I like John deLancie, especially from his time on Star Trek.  :)  I am sure the show is doing its best to come up with a well-rounded episode.  I am sure the Star Wars fans had lots of negative things to say about their episode.  "They mentioned the Holiday Special! AUGH" 

Agreed! Q is arguably one of the best characters in the Star Trek universe thanks to John de Lancie.  :biggrin:

They have to touch on all generations! I'm only a G1 collector, used to watch the G1 series as a kid, and am an occasional FiM watcher, but every corner of the fandom should get its due, even Bronies.

Let's see if us European G2 buyers get as much exposure as Bronies then. We kept Hasbro's toyline alive when the US wasn't buying any.
Bronies already have a ton of documentaries about them. Made by themselves, so it's more like watching a propaganda vid :biggrin:
G2 and the shadow years of MLP are the least talked about aspects of the brand.

The Toys That Made Us is pretty good about letting people have their joy, but focusing more on the making-of industry stories.


I agree.  It would be bizarre if they mentioned all the generations except the current one, LOL.

But I really came on there to mention that stylized MLP flutter ponies are in the animated intro of the show in the first season.  :)

I also like Q in Star Trek.  Poor Captain Picard . . . :P

I guess it really would be weird if they did the MLP episode with no mention of the current generation or the weird brony phenomenon-

My only hope is that they don't let that focus dominate the episode.  I'd rather seen awesome collections and prototypes and hear from the original designers and marketing folks for G1 and G2-  since those are the toys that "made" us...

Seems they may also mention the recent sales of the new G1 ponies at Target?  I bet they've been pretty popular- it would be great to hear from someone at the company who actually can say what's going on at least in terms of how popular the retro ponies have been (and maybe some hints about the next wave of retros?)

It would be cool to show a male G1-G3 fan and show that boys always liked MLP. They were just told not to.

Instead of the always samey Brony story of "I saw this cartoon and it was smart and funny so I figured it was for me instead of little girls".

Yes! They have to mention all the cool nirvanas out there and all the gens! Wouldn't be a complete history without G2s.   :heart:

Ahhh, when I was watching the Netflix's episodes, I was wanting a "My Little Pony" episode so bad! Can't wait for it to be released.

Did they really say "you're" instead of "your"?

Hump day?  :huh:

Wednesdays, called that because it's the middle of the week, for some reason.

Hump day?  :huh:

Wednesday is "Hump Day" because it falls in the middle of most folks work weeks, once youve gotten through Wendesday- you're "over the hump" (aka more than 50% through the week/onto the presumably more casual work days)
Back after at least 4 years away!

Hasbro...

It was the Toys That Made Us post not Hasbro’s.  Hasbro gets blamed for a lot but I don’t think this one’s their fault.

Hump day?  :huh:

Wednesdays, called that because it's the middle of the week, for some reason.

If you consider the week a hill then Wednesday is the point when you go over the summit and the rest of the week is downhill towards the weekend.

I'll say it again, I'm not even that big on G3s but if the episode does not give G3 proper credit then it's worthless.

I have a bad feeling it will only focus on G1 and G4 (yuck)
IMO there is no point in interviewing VAs like Tara Strong, etc. as they have nothing to do with either the toys or even the conception of the brand's media.
