Just an add-on thread, as MLP:FiM thread is about the show itself. Anyways, Just basically give me 3 of your favorite ponies in order. and give a quick example of why you like them. I'll start.
1. Twilight Sparkle - She's the main Character, Shes neat, and very helpful 2. Fluttershy - Adorable, Kind, Funny. Need I say more? 3. Rainbow Dash - Sonic Rainbooms are just amazing.
What about you guys?

No, this is not necessary. Stuff like this should stay within that topic. Please don't do this again. If you want to discuss MLP in detail, go to a MLP forum.

The thing is, I have been thinking a lot about people functioning as a well-connected group, much like individual neurons in the brain. Communication is key and if done right, the result is better than the sum of the individual parts. It's been on my mind a lot and it's even the basis of a story I'm working on... Which wouldn't be kid-friendly to say the least. Let's just say I'm trying to think of interesting ways to croak in outer space. Like getting the ejection and thrusters on your spacecraft to malfunction. Without air to slow it down or a way to escape, you're veering into the void in what may as well be your koffin, like being buried alive. It's a pretty sad way to go.
In short: I see MUCH potential in the premise of combining skills and putting different experiences together. It's a theme I have lot of interest in. MLP doesn't seem to be pushing it far enough.
In times of crisis, weakness cannot survive. But be very careful how you define strength.

Look, Remnants, I can understand you're problem, but this is still just a children's show. The developers don't want to make complicated stories which small children can't understand. If you watch it for character development, you're going to be dissapointed. Personally I watch it for the awesome moments and random hilarity. I suggest looking at some pony related memes to up the viewing experience. Plus if you have a bunch of friends who watch it too, it can be a lot of fun. And one more thing http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/08/blog-post_22.html#moreScroll down to have your mind blown

24 days till i can become happy again... I went through this show in 5 stages: Denial, Fear, Reasoning, Okay feeling, Acceptance. What exactly changed my mind about the show? probably me watching every single episode and realizing it brought back the good memories of old cartoons on a Saturday morning: Likeable characters and good animation, oh and voice work! Also, you might get a kick out of this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12163556/derpy.swf

This is a fun thread where we discuss general things about it, and post things we find about it, it isn't supposed to be something huge.

IE was referring to another MLP thread being started, which he merged into this one along with his comment.

Oh, ok, maybe I should check on this more frequently, I am being stupiod (how many NCS references can I make?), thanks, I thought he was talking to me. Oh well, anyways I calculated the entire first season to be 9 1/2 hours long (9.5333333... hours long to be if every episode was exactly 22 minutes long).

K, also my guess with the seconds added up it would be around 9:40-9:45.
