Stranger than Fan Fiction

Stranger Than Fan Fiction Review: 

Hello everypony. Sorry it has been a while since I've last posted. 

The Hiatus is finally over for this season. There are many promises that Hasbro and Discovery Kids are making for this season, and I for one look forward to it. 

With that said, lets get on to my review of "Stranger than Fan Fiction": 

SPOILERS AHEAD: 

This episode starts off with Daring Do looking for the amulet to unlock an ancient treasure (typical). It turns out, this was just a short reading from Twilight reading to Rainbow getting ready for the Daring Do convention in Manehatten. Turns out, only Rainbow Dash is able to go as Princess Celestia needs Twilight for the Friendship Summit in Griffonstone. 

Getting to the convention scene rather quickly, Rainbow Dash is more then just "excited" as Daring Do (aka AK Yearling herself) will be there. 
While walking around the convention, Rainbow meets a new character "Quibble Pants" who appears to be a fan of Daring Do; only later to find that he only came there to complain to AK Yearling about the "stupidity" of her adventures in the new series. 

The story unfolds by having the two ponies going through an ACTUAL "Daring Do 'adventu-cation;" (so to speak). 

As Quibble is first skeptical that he is in actual danger, it becomes apparent that he really is being held captive by Dr. Cabiliaran and his henceponies. 

In the end, Quibble gives the new series a different opinion on the "impossibility" of Daring's new adventures. 

My Thoughts

Well, the beginning was smooth, as it explained why we haven't seen Twilight in the convention scene at the preview of the episode. 

But the way the story opens up with Daring finding the Amulet has me scratching my head. If Daring only recently found the Amulet, how is it already in the book Twilight was reading to Rainbow? 

The preview of the episode itself also had me scratching my head as the synopsis of the episode states that Quibble "hates Daring do as much as Rainbow loves her"; the reality is that Quibble didn't hate Daring, just doesn't like her new trilogy. I was relieved to see that Quibble doesn't actually hate Daring, (I like her).

I like Quibble, he is smart and very mindful of what is "logical". Quibble is an excellent example of an avid reader who loves fiction and writing (I can see myself relating this character in that way). However, as we learned in "Feeling Pinkie Keen" that are things beyond explanation, but that doesn't mean they are impossible; as much as it may seem that way. It is hard to justify what is impossible and impossible and even in this world, there are many debates on the subject. 

I love the ending,....

it shows that everyone has their own thoughts and opinions about something, whatever they have seen it with their own eyes or not. It is a rather basic lesson, but there are some older people outside the demographic that needs to learn this lesson and sometimes be reminded of that lesson. 

It is ok to have different opinions, and to give constructive criticism. As long as your being SUBJECTIVE and not OBJECTIVE. 

I see myself in Quibble is a small way, but do believe what might seem "impossible" to some, it just might be possible. 

Here's to a great rest of Season 6 and I hope that the writers at Hasbro will continue to surpass our expectations and continue to surprise us with new and overwhelming entertainment in Season 6! 

This is Ed, signing out (how generic).

The Crystalling

Sorry it has been a while everypony. A lot of things have been happening, along with the new Season 6 premiering, there is a lot to say about the season opener, and the few episodes following it, so lets get started.

The Crystalling: 

I'll be honest, I actually did watch the Season 6 teaser trailer, and I immediately fell in love with the new Royal baby. I'm not one to poke fingers (or hooves) on whatever the baby is an alicorn or not, I'm actually pretty open to the idea. However, when it was shown that the baby is compatible with such enormous power, it took me by surprise (kudos Hasbro). But looking back, it all makes sense, let me explain:

Baby Overlord: 

I absolutely love Princess Flurry Heart, not just because she is adorable. As I look at this baby, I can see a great deal of a radiance of love; maybe because she's the daughter to the Princess of  Love, but that's besides the point. When it was found that Princess Flurry Heart has enormous power, I honestly was very shocked. I was SPEECHLESS! I looked at my stuffed Candance from Build-a-Bear, and asked her,...."How does the 'Princess of Love' give birth to,.....THAT?!" However, the more I thought about it, the more sense it made. 

Alicorns embody the powers of Pegasi and Unicorns alike, and are able to do enormous things. As explained in the "Journal of the Two Sisters" Alicorns are able to do enormous magical things that a regular unicorn couldn't do alone; as such is rise and lower the Sun and Moon. So it would make sense for this new Alicorn Princess to be able to do massive things beyond our expectations. 

Second:

As stated in "Baby Cakes" Rarity explains that "Baby unicorns get magical surges that come and go"; moreover, Rainbow Dash also explains that baby pegasi will start flying all over the place. As we have seen from both Pound and Pumpkin Cake. So I do expect that a baby Alicorn would be able to weld such power. 

HOWEVER:

I still call this baby an "Adorable Baby Overlord", which seems fitting considering everything. 

Even so, I look forward to what this season has to bring, and here's to looking for more surprises from Season 6 and Princess Flurry Heart. 

Until next time,
