I have to admit, episode reviews have always confused me a bit. There are some that do it well with custom animation and tangents everywhere making it more than just a "this is what I like, this is what I don't like", but the "box in the corner" style seems a little basic for something everyone is going to watch anyway.
A lot of these guys nitpick stuff that makes me wonder if they have even been watching the same show as the rest of us for the past few years. Spike not being there to completely cancel the episode? Better complain! Party Favor pulling balloons out of nowhere? ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.
Have they not seen Pinkie Pie and... well any kids cartoon ever? FiM especially tends to pull plot points out of nowhere, so much so that they seem to make a big deal out of it for fun.
I suppose that is the idea though. It's fun to complain, even if the issues you complain about don't exist.
Below the break, 13 people have reviewed the episode across a bunch of videos. Some fall into that section above, while others just have fun with it. Those are the good ones. I'd highly recommend drawing your own conclusions from the episodes though.
Anyway, Go get them all!
(Update: I should probably point out as many in the comments have, a good majority of these stay positive. As with anything, don't let a few bad apples tarnish the entire community.)

Remember that one time when Rainbow Dash was in the running on Tartaurus's kitchen, but ended up quitting after the pressure from Chef Ram See caused her to pull out at the last minute? Her pizza was to die for. It's a huge shame. Typical Rainbow Dash dropping the ball when it came to healthy food though.

Brony Hit by Two Cars Fights For Life
by Calpain
Our community has always been a tight knit one and even though we've all had our differences it still hurts to hear about one of our own being hurt. Down in Alabama, fellow brony Sean Rey was hit by two cars on his way to work on his bike, one of which sped away.
Sean is currently fighting for his life with skull, orbital, spinal fractures, a shattering of his pelvis and more sadly. As of now he is out of surgery and has been pieced back together the best they can, but it's a long, long road to recovery.
If you're interested in helping out in anyway or want more information on the incident, check on after the break. You'll find auctions to participate in, a GoFundMe page to donate at, and videos related to the incident from the local news.
Our thoughts are with you, Sean.

A few days ago, Shades of Everfree released a new animation called "Vinyl Fair", but unfortunately there were some audio issues and he was off at BABSCon with us unable to fix it (and playing tons of Smash Bros with us)! A new version has been uploaded with everything working as it should.
Head on down below to check it out.

You know, I think I like the EqG clothes a bit better on pony AJ than human AJ. She just looks so adorable!
Evening everyone, chat time commence!

BABSCon may be over, but other conventions are starting to pick up as a result! MLP-MSP is happy to announce the attendance of Ingrid Nilson and Cathy Weseluck. I've had the pleasure of meeting both of them and they are fantastic people so it's awesome to see them at more conventions.
Check on after the break for the full presser and information on a sale for the convention!

(Sadly, we can't bat. Good for October batification though! Even the kids at the panel agreed to that!)
Artist: Matthew
Our BABScon panel went surprisingly well for how last minute everything was compiled together, and I think the Mascots were a big reason for this! We gathered a whole bunch of excellent ideas over there, but this decision is going to be a hard one, and I want the majority of you to be happy about it! EQD is so heavily built around the community, it would make most sense to reflect it.
Right now the mascot folder has around 350 submissions (some just suggestions as opposed to actual images) and our "possibilities" folder has 70 ponies. We are still deciding if we want to straight up grab one of these or combine ideas from a bunch and commission the duo.
At the end of the day, the final choice will be two sisters. From there, we need to decide the specifics. You can get our previous reports over here!
Now go community! Head on down below the break and bask in glorious mascots! Help us decide what you like most here!

Feel like continuing the story of Equal Town in SFM? Want to Staff of Sameness in your next major video? The community has responded! We already have 3D Models for both of these available for the Source engine. This community works so ridiculously fast!
Now go! I need a Trixie episode where she discovers the ULTIMATE UNICORN RELIC that turns out to just be a piece of wood when she goes to use it on Twilight Sparkle.

Thanks to Mrjimmy for the heads up!

So why isn't the potentially awesome dynamic between Kaminadash and Simonloo not more of a thing? Is it because the show is so old?
Ridiculous.
Anyway, go get a bunch of awesome art below!

The Nielsen Rating digging website "TV Media Insights" has scooped up information on the season opener. The first episode snagged a whopping 510,000 of you, with the second breating even that, with 574,000 tuning in. I feel bad for all of you that missed the first episode! Wake up earlier next time!
If you want to compare this to the last season, you can get a list of all the episodes over here. We were about where we should be final few major episodes of it, but didn't quite break the finale. Nielsen ratings are weird though, so there could be a million factors for that. Considering we clobbered most of the other shows on Discovery Family though, I'm pretty sure all is well.
Onward to more GLORIOUS episodes! Expect the usual flood of posts as the week progresses. We are BACK!
Thanks to Ian for the heads up.
