It's been a while.
Nine months' worth of a hiatus would scatter a lesser community, but I think we've proved a long time ago that we're made of sterner stuff. As our reward, we've been gifted by the amazing team at Studio B both an excellent opener for season four, and the conclusion of Twilight Sparkle's ascent into princesshood. Story arcs aren't something we've seen a lot of in this show, and I'm eager to see how the team handles it. For now, though, it's time to start the followup.
For those new to an Episode Followup, I'll be clear: these are not reviews. They are not meant to be in-depth teardowns and dutiful analysis of the episode, though I'll slip into that if I think the situation warrants it. They spawned from the original threads on 4chan when the community was nothing but a blip on the internet radar, and are by and large meant to be light-hearted clip shows of things that the writer (in this case, me) thinks are worth pointing out, with occasional heaps of more serious words if we think it's important. So, once more- looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, but is actually a tiny horse.
Welcome one, welcome all: show staff (they do read these), community members (the reason we do these at all), and everyone else (how did you get here?). It's followup time, and it feels so good to be able to say that again.
