This episode had one of my MLP pet peeves: the guy is brown and grey, the girl is pink and pastels, and together they look like some horse and a My Little Pony :PGrogar: Now, Tirek, fall back and Cozy Glow will catch you.
I really loved the little kid character, tho. And nice name, too. It wasn't my favorite episode so far but it had a wholesome theme.
Wondering what those villains are up to... (sorry, I had to).
Grogar: Now, Tirek, fall back and Cozy Glow will catch you.
Cozy Glow: I don't think you've thought this through.
What in the world is with this season?? It’s the final season and all the episodes have been terrible!
SpoilerWow, just wow. I couldn't stand this episode. Quibble Pants made a horrible father and an equally terrible athlete and Rainbow Dash made the whole situation worse. Her mom and daughter were the only sensible ones (though the daughter was pretty much a clone of Twilight).
TBH, I've been watching Rocket Power and found that they do the whole friendship thing much better. The characters are also much more relatable. They even have their own Rainbow Dash but they either eat their own words or get told off for what they said.SpoilerWow, just wow. I couldn't stand this episode.

And when an episode focuses on two terrible characters, you're pretty much screwed. I found myself becoming more engrossed with other things while the episode played out because I really couldn't care. I love hockey, but there's no way I'd want to get on the ice against an NHL or even college team.
Also, I'm staying faraway from anything brony for a good month after this episode. I just know what they're doing with Clear Skies' previous husband, and I'm going to save myself the aggravation.
Like, ok we saw Sombra, but what about Tirek and Chysalis and of course Grogar? What are they doing now?I'm not even sure I even want this "League of Villains" to be honest. I suppose it could work, but the only ones who come close to interesting me are King Sombra and Grogar - I never liked the G4 version of Tirek ever, Cozy Glow is one of the show's least defendable decisions ever, in my opinion, and part of me wishes they'd just dropped Queen Chrysalis after her second appearance (third if comics are included, and fourth if flashbacks are) because even I am having to admit she is being overused, and it's weird having to feel that about my favorite villain.
Yeah, the boys should be part of the usual color scheme too. Quibble gets a kind of pass, if it's still his Daring Do colors (which ultimately, don't make that much sense anyway...), but it is nicer to balance the boys' color schemes out. I'll have to check how balanced it actually is.
I always whine about this but I guess I was just so happy about G2 using the same mold for everyone, this weird sexual dimorphism in FiM is extra jarring to me at times. Although I have to admit, I also never got over the teeny tiny snouts of the female ponies in contrast with the male ponies block heads.It's like they got their noses stuck in a box or something beforehand :P

It would be actually fun to me if Qujbble had a dye job to match his idol. Kind of like the mayor of Ponyville. I think in one episode they "caught" her coloring her hair from pink to grey :lol:

Respect to those who feel different, though.
IIRC, FiM's seasons have always been set up like this, aside from the first two and the last two episodes, they are "filler" (there may be some exceptions, but I don't remember. I have a horrible memory. lol).Some of the seasons have been kind of a mixture, like season four had the key storyline, and season one had the Gala storyline to some extent, plus I tended to get the impression that previous episodes existed and were having a lasting affect, especially in seasons one and two. The more stand alone episodes could be seen as more filler compared to the ones that are part of an on going storyline, though (even if they do have a lasting effect to the overall show) - I think it's safe to say that the best description for filler is that they don't really move the main storyline forward, if at all (so yeah, it is mostly filler.)
Funny thing is, the story of how they became friends is the most blatant example of bad writing.IIRC, FiM's seasons have always been set up like this, aside from the first two and the last two episodes, they are "filler" (there may be some exceptions, but I don't remember.

P.S. That being said, if the main storyline is supposed to be the friendship of the characters, then any of the episodes that built on that might technically not be filler by definition - it's pretty back and forth to be honest.
