!HOPPIPqX/Q!!NzY2fHtYicO 10/22/11(Sat)09:21 No. 30783137 >>30783113 from a different posterLuna Rising (tons of spoilers now) has a few great lines here and there ("Pinkie Pie, you're a genius!" "No, I'm a chicken") and some really fun visuals (bat-pegasuses, Pinkie wearing a chicken suit, Pinkie laying an egg in the middle of running away scared), but the moral of our story felt forced, and the narrative that brought us there wasn't much fun. Basically what happens is there's a holiday called Nightmare Moon, much like Halloween, and Luna tries to participate in the festivities but totally lacks the social skills, and most of the mane six help her out. It almost felt like a PSA about Aspergers Syndrome at times. Shadoworc01 quite appropriately called it something like "Baby's First Forever War," as there was some Rip Van Winkle kinda stuff going on too. Rarity is conspicuously missing from Luna Eclipsed. I can only hope that meant that throughout the episode, she was at home happily crafting last-minute costumes for everyone who hadn't planned ahead. And also hoping that this means our next episode will be Rarity-centric. Luna Eclipsed is T.Spark-centric, which may be part of why it falls flat. I love T.Spark because she's so very much like me, but man she bores me sometimes.
