Mitch, I suppous you got my PM on Youtube?

Yeah, probably the reason is the fact that I haven't watched SPC in a while and my life is dra busy as usual so I don't have time.

Moving on!

Anyone gonna do something special/ceremonial for when Season 2 comes?

Me, (and this is assuming they're immediatly available on YouTube) I'll wait for the peace and quiet of the night to watch it. Don't know if I'll wait for the full 2 parts. If they air a full week apart, I don't think I can wait that long. All I know is, I got a teeny-tiny bottle of Baileys waiting in my fridge that I'm reserving for that night.

In short; Imma get drunk in the middle of the night and watch ponies!!!

It's gonna be SO AWESOME  /)^3^(\

[Teyandee]

I hope they will run an episode per week like in a season 1.
S02E01 will be aired at Saturday, September 17 at 9am E(S)T that will be 13:00 GMT which makes 17:00 local time.
Per something special - we can have a SS Skype meeting to watch it online.

[Someone who does Something]

Can I have the name of the Skype channel? I thought you would like to have some spicial guests

[MitchZer0]

Would chat, but that would mean moving all my desktop stuff downstairs to the TV that has the Hub. I would use my laptop, but that has Ubuntu and of course Ubuntu doesn't recognize the wireless card.... and the fact I don't have a Ethernet cable that could reach the modem from my mom's room the room with digital cable.

Well, there's also my HP touchpad but I'm using it for school reasons.

[MitchZer0]

Sorry for double post but I thought this was worth bumping for.

I just Watched episode 1 of season2 (with my mom) and it was great, it had a pretty good plot, but the problem is that I have to wait one week for the next part of the saga. I know it was the same thing for the previous season but I don't want to wait another week for the other half of what I was waiting over a quarter of a year for.

But at least Season 2 arrived on time, and it lives up to the hype.

The chocolate rain was and epic homage for the online communtiy.

What also helped was reading this amazing interview with Lauren Faust before jumping into the new season.

It was truely inspirational, and made me want to continue carrying her dream forward.

[blind2d]

I just want to say that this first episode of season two surpassed my expectations entirely, and I'm more stoked on ponies than ever before!
"Chocolate milk." *funny face*

[Someone who does Something]

"Chocolate milk."

That reminded me of this:

I thought the start to Season 2 wasn't too bad.
Having the actor who played Q in Star Trek the Next Generation do the voice of the villain was an excellent choice and I'm glad they managed to pull it off.

He managed to bring that old Q sadistic, playful charm to his performance.

As far as the premise of the first episode, it was a good way to reset the board pre-Luna and a way to show us a deeper look into the main cast's psyche.
The second episode felt quick in it's conclusion. I didn't feel the same rush that I felt when the ladies were going up against Luna. I mostly suppose though that's because episode 2's climax hit early for me.

The best part in episode 1 that I liked was Fluttershy's turning. It was hilarious to see Q just throw his arms up and say "That's it! I don't have time for this!"
The best part in episode 2 that I liked was Rainbowdash's roundup. The zany goofs in that sequence were priceless.

All in all, Season 2 has started fairly well. It'll be interesting to see where the show goes, and where we'll end up one year from now.

[Mechadon]

The highlights for this Season beginning have been all of Fluttershy's antics, all the gags centered on "Tom the Boulder", and Chocolate Rain.

It's gonna be a long torturous wait over the next 2 weeks for the season to get back on full scheduel. What has been said/rumoured about the next 2 episodes has gotten me excited. Especially the one airing on the 22nd; Luna's triumphant and long awaited return, having her making ammends with Ponyville, all the while happening on a Halloween themed episode. So much win in one episode.

Also...

There has been a Toronto meet up advertized on EQD. I responded saying I would be interested. At the moment, it turned out it was only me and one other who responded. The opportunity arrised for me to be part of the planning proccess for this meet up; offering an agreable location. We got a total of 7 now.

[KyoZaber]

Well, we're now up to 6 episodes available on iTunes for Season 2.
- The Return of Harmony Part 1
- The Return of Harmony Part 2
- Lesson Zero
- Luna Eclipsed
- Sisterhooves Social
- The Cutie Pox

So far for me, the series has been keeping up the pace that it started back in Season 1.
A great story-point for the series this go around in my opinion is Luna Eclipsed.
This is where we finally get to see Princess Luna whom was previously a villain at the beginning of the series, getting used to normal life.
The creators did this episode with great flare, fitting Halloween into the show's universe. It was awesome seeing various ponies in various outfits.
(I personally liked the look of Zecora's hair in this episode.)

Another important point story-wise is the fact that all of the main cast are now encouraged to write letters to Princess Celestia depending on whom the episode has been focused on. This adds a nice bit of variety to the series, and allows the series to flesh out each character more without the need to keep Twilight Sparkle in every episode. Although one could contend that this puts a definite burden on Spike as he's usually the one writing and sending the letters.

Overall, I've been greatly looking forward to Sunday when new episodes are released on iTunes. I'm still disappointed that no official DVD box set has been released, or appears to be in the planning stages of release. Despite that, I'm more than glad to support the show via iTunes. Now I've just gotta see if I can massage those videos into DVDs for my own private use.

I was skeptical at first.  I saw pony pictures being posted on most of the forums I frequent, and I thought the internet was just jumping onto another dopey pop culture thing (memes and all that good stuff).  I read into the show some more, specifically the parts where Lauren Faust herself said if she was doing her job, people might be surprised.  Well, she was right.  This is a cartoon that reminds me of the stuff I grew up with, with a dash (pun intended) of classic Disney movies (the higher quality musical numbers like "At the Gala").  I like how they pace things (i.e., not having a song in every single episode just for the sake of having a song, like other kids' shows might do).  Yes, Lauren Faust seems to have graduated from the Walt Disney school of entertainment.  If you don't get that reference, go and look up some of his best quotes.

I read your first two posts and thought "awesome, another old guy like me who enjoys stuff from the 80's and 90's."

Then I read this post.

Then I threw up.
