Just be patient. The fourth episode is slated to be a Halloween episode, featuring Luna.

A Halloween episode starring Luna. It is platonic Win.

I think you misspelled her last name.

...I was thinking. Since ponies don't usually wear clothes, would equestrian strippers, like , perform by putting clothes on?

Call Twilight Sparkle. Shit's about to get magical.

The show already has a simple enough art style to reproduce, but I genuinely thought those were the actual voice actresses until they both said 'bitches'.

Watching the episode "Cutey Mark Chronicles". First, holding up traffic for duckies like Belldandy. Then, waving the checkered flag for a race like she's the trophy to be won. Then, singing with butterflies.

Fluttershy is so damned cute she gives me an adoraboner.

This week's Mister Kitty Found Sound offerings go well with that:

I have now seen a few eps of MLP:FiM.

I haven't reached a verdict yet, as such.

Pro: excellent voice acting, decent dialog, EXCELLENT jokes and timing; all in all, a much better than average children's show.

Con: it IS a children's show and is plotted that way, i. e. repeatedly hitting you over the head with the moral every three minutes for twenty-two minutes straight. The eps I'm watching feel like you could pack two into a half-hour show and lose very little. Also, the plots do tend to get predictable. VERY predictable.

Which episodes? They do vary in quality. The latter ones resemble the classic Looney Toons more than a modern children's show.

My episode by episode rating (scale of 1 to 5, 5 being the best).

Mare in the Moon (two-parter) 4
The Ticket Master 5
Applebuck Season 3
Griffon Brush-off 3
Boast Busters 3
Look Before You Sleep 4
Swarm of the Century 3
Call of the Cutie 3
Fall Weather Friends 4
Suited for Success 4
Feeling Pinkie Keen 2
Sonic Rainboom 5
Stare Master 3
The Show Shoppers 2
A Dog and Pony Show 4
Green Isn't your Color 4
Over a Barrel 3
A Bird in the Hoof 4
Owls Well That Ends Well 2
Party of One 4
The Best Night Ever 5
Winter Wrap-up 4

Return of Harmony (two parter) 3
Lesson Zero 4

Also, keep in mind that as an E&E show, they are actually OBLIGATED to incorporate moral lessons into MLP: FiM. Not just by the network, but the FCC!

Holy fucking shit. Season 2 Episode 3: Lesson Zero is one of the funniest things I've seen in quite a while. I was genuinely laughing out loud the whole time. Kris, watch that episode next. It is straight up Looney Tunes on crack.

Twilight's obsessive organizing, her old doll from fillyhood named Smarty Pants, Rainbow Dash using the sonic rainboom to detonate Applejack's old barn in a mushroom cloud, Fluttershy kung fu fighting a grizzly bear, ...no I'm not making this up..., and Twilight delving into a level of insanity that Pinkie Pie in Party of One couldn't even touch, EVERYTHING, is top notch entertainment. Topping it all off? Everypony in Ponyville, including the mayor, get into an epic RIOT.

NOBODY can watch this episode and still think that this is a kids only show. In fact, I'm genuinely worried that the writers may have used up all their best material in this one episode leaving nothing left for the rest of the season.

Considering your high standards, 2 out of 5 being judged as "excellent" and the other 3 given a "pass" is a damn good recommendation. Though I disagree with your opinion of Pinkie Keen - the dismissal of rational skepticism kind of turned me off that episode.

As far as ponies going off the deep end, that's a VERY common occurrence in the series - Swarm of the Century, Suited for Success, The Best Night Ever, and let's not forget Party of One. You get the impression every pony is teetering on the brink of madness. The appearance of a single Deep One or Mi-Go would turn all of Equestria into Bedlam.

And yes, you DO have high standards. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, mind.

Um, that was the point. It made rational skepticism look bad by having Twilight mishandle it. Apart from one brief (albeit well-equipped) attempt to study it objectively, all of Twilight's efforts were aimed towards disproving Pinkie Pie out of spite and stubbornness even as the evidence mounted. That's bad science.

A better lesson would have been: There are things in life you don't understand and need to accept for the time being, but you should never stop asking questions because someday you may be able to figure them out.

Actually, it looked like an juryrigged electroencephalogram to me - one the earliest instruments used for studying brain activity. It was employed in the 1910s and 1920s and is still used today. A good choice for studying something like Pinkie Pie's Pinkie sense, actually, assuming her wave patterns don't look like cupcakes. Or the great Cthulhu.

Also...Twilight Sparkle is evolving:

Swarm of the Century and Applebuck Season are much higher on my scale. But then, I think I've done Applejack's level of sleep dep before, so... I can relate. And Swarm has Pinkie Pie in a one-man-band getup.

And on "Lesson Zero". You left out.. DERPY!

It's a good idea to watch Bridle Gossip before Swarm of the Century. In Bridle Gossip the character Zecora is introduced and in Swarm of the Century she makes a brief reappearance. Dragonshy explains Fluttershy's "Hop, skip and a jump" line in Feeling Pinkie Keen, and The Ticket Master hints briefly at why Big Macintosh has a bandaged midsection in Applebuck Season. The Ticket Master and Suited For Success also set us up for the Grand Galloping Gala featured in the Season 1 finale The Best Night Ever. Beyond that there's really not that much continuity between episodes.

Oh, and is it a little sad that I've memorized the Winter Wrap Up song?

Likewise, "Art of the Dress" is one of the best songs of the series, if you work in CosPlay. It's the official song of Commissions.
