Thanks so much for the Pinkie Pies. It does make me feel better.

Heh, I actually haven't seen the owl episode yet. Should I brace myself?
And yeah, I did see Lauren's apology. Made me feel better.

Yeah, I didn't want to stir up old drama, but it was the "leap of faith" stuff, or more specifically, "You should just believe in things, without even trying to understand them" moral at the end. It made me pretty angry. I liked the rest of the episode, especially the Derpy cameo. I even liked the idea of Pinkie having a special power...as I said, she's definitely my favorite pony.
But, I think that maybe the confusing message wasn't intentional, and that Lauren apologized for it, so it's not a big deal. It happens. I still really like the show. No show is perfect.
I do think they (maybe unintentionally) wound up with an anti-intellectual Aesop that left a bad taste in my mouth. If the message had been, "Well, I should have kept an open mind, just because science hasn't been able to explain it yet doesn't mean science never will, just have to keep trying," but I don't think that's how it came across. But as I said, everyone makes mistakes.
That's all. Thanks so much for listening, bronies. I really needed to get that off my chest, and I appreciate it. |
