Keep dropping these when I've work to deal with and can't get right to the expositing! So anyway let's go.. Party of One.... probably the most infamous ep of season 1, in large part because of some coincidental timing that ensured a certain idea became lodged in the fandom culture forever. So, background... Shortly before this ep aired, talk and knowledge of a certain fanfic started to spread through the fandom, mostly out of a "Whyyyyyyyyyyy!?" sort of reaction, not really people liking it. It was one of the first dark for the sake of edgy darkness lulz fics to gain any notice and was basically just a gorn fic.... but written JUST well enough to get noticed. About Pinkie Pie selecting Rainbow Dash to... "help her make cupcakes" by providing certain... vital ingredients lets say. Yeah...... And then just as the fandom is having a collective "WTF!?" over that, we this ep of Pinkie Pie having pretty much a psychotic break.... complete with RD being the one to find her like that..... and the idea that Pinkie Pie has a dark, slasher movie level psycho side to her became an indelible part of the fandom. The fandom has dubbed this version of Pinkie "Pinkameana" and show the difference between the two by depicting Pinkameana as always having the straight mane and usually colored a slightly darker shade of pink. beyond that bit of dark lore.... this is a great ep where we see that as much as Pinkie is genuine in just wanting to help make others smile, she is also dealing with some heavy codependency issues where she NEEDS to feel like she s loved and needed by those around her. Again, one of the best things about the show is the characters have these aspects to them that are just, part of who they are. As to the cake being smeared and not actually looking like what they said it said..... two reasons for that, and for pretty much all the lack of writing in the show where we see only squiggles, or some bizarre pictographs. Time constraints, and localization cost saving. The time is that common rule for animation, especially for younger audiences, is to hold on any written words for at least twice as long as it would take the average person to read it and sometimes they want to save as much time as possible for the scene. Second, everything they clearly write in English, is something the localizers for other languages need to change or add extra captions for. And Hasbro likes making money, not spending it if they don't have to. But yeah, a great ep that shows fundamental aspect of who Pinkie Pie is, and helped insure what would otherwise be a quickly forgotten case of "WTF?" went down in the annals of fandom history.

THen we have our first season finale, and though far, far more low key then the rest, it's still good, and serves as a nice wrap up of the season. Both the Gala that got brought up a few times, and just on a thematic level of seeing just how close the Mane 6 have come over this season. This is also possibly one of the best paced episodes of the show, weaving six different plot lines together perfectly. Which is even more notable because overall, if there is one consistent flaw the show has, it's with the pacing. Especially in the finales and premiers going forward as things tend to get rushed through at times because they have a lot they want to do, but not enough time to do it. We also get two important character introductions here, first, Prince Blueblood..... the fandoms collective punching bag. If you need a haughty, entitled asshole to take out some frustration on, he's your target. There's also the whole "Prince" and him being 'Celestia's Nephew" that never gets brought up again...because it was executive meddling. He was meant to just be a Duke,and not related to Celestia, but the execs thought kids would be too stupid to understand any concept of noble title other then 'Prince". If the fandom acknowledges the whole 'nephew' thing, it's that it's an honorary thing and not biological. Then there is Octavia Melody, the grey earth pony mare playing the cello. Her classy look made her instantly popular, and she pretty much has been permanently paired up with the other big musical background pony, Vinyl Scratch. Lovers, friends, siblings, the exact pairing varies, but they are nearly always together in some fashion. We also see that Fluttershy..... has some repressed anger issues.... and further proof that Celestia is inded a total troll. No best Princess, because again, executive meddling, word of the writers is she just avoided the thing after hearing Celestia talk about how much it sucked. Season 1 is done, it was a hit no one saw coming that won over legions of adult fans.... now on to season 2, that took that start and made it EPIC!
