The Spectacular Professor

[font="Comic Sans MS"][attachment=15153:Trainer Card.png] Gotta levelgrind, then we'll be ready.[/font]

[font="Comic Sans MS"][url="http://www.collisiondetection.net/mt/archives/2011/05/lets_get_this_p.php"]Stuff like this[/url] makes my frustrating inability to get to bed at a decent hour worth it.[/font]

[font="Comic Sans MS"][b]Thor[/b] is a pretty great movie. Doesn't compare to [b]Iron Man[/b], but it's definitely worth a watch.[/font]

[quote name='Sangome' timestamp='1305727146' post='707454'] [color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]I saw Canz's av/sig and immediately thought of the images flagged as "Questionable" on Ponibooru. I need help...[/font][/color] [/quote] [font="Comic Sans MS"]I flagged him. Been meaning to for months. [spoiler]Your sig is missing, by the way[/spoiler][/font]

[quote name='Sangome' timestamp='1305683301' post='707430'] [color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]I just think somebody needs to stop letting him make TV shows, whether the original material was good or not. I don't really want another obtuse cartoon with unfunny jokes and a pedestal telling me that I'm an idiot for not believing what he believes. Granted there's already plenty of those, but I don't need [i]four[/i] of them from [i]the same guy[/i] on [i]the same frakkin' channel.[/i][/font][/color] [/quote] [font="Comic Sans MS"]Getting picky for a sec, I don't think MacFarlane has actually written an episode of Family Guy in at least two years. Granted, he's still involved, since he voices most of the characters (Including Brian, the furry little filibuster-spewing douchebag himself), but for the most part he's voicing the opinions of a bunch of monkeys on typewriters who someone on staff mistook for sentient humans with valid opinions. And like I said, American Dad is actually pretty amusing most of the time (It's ironically LESS political than Family Guy has become, despite its inherently political premise), but I'm pretty sure he's about as involved with that as he is with Family Guy at this point. But yeah, they seriously need to stop giving him shows. I get that he brings in ratings, but is it really necessary to have his face branded over an entire two hours' worth of programming? Eh, screw the whole thing. Back to ponies.[/font]

[font="Comic Sans MS"]Well, I think we all know what this is going to be like, seeing as it'll air on FOX and all. So far we have Family Guy, The Cleveland Show, which is Family Guy BUT IN VIRGINIA AND WITH BLACK PEOPLE and American Dad, which is Family Guy BUT ACTUALLY KIND OF FUNNY. So logically, this will be Family Guy IN THE STONE AGE. And since the Flintstones was never actually that funny, I don't think I'll worry too much about this one.[/font]

[quote name='Sangome' timestamp='1305147922' post='707283'] [color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]I think one of my favorites were the Bionicle toys, mainly because I was obsessed with the main line of those at the time.[/font][/color] [/quote] [font="Comic Sans MS"]They don't even give out real LEGOs when they do LEGO promotions now. What's the freakin' point?[/font]

[quote name='Sangome' timestamp='1304971730' post='707235'] [color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]I was more distracted at your sudden lack of comic sans than the edgy name.[/font][/color] [/quote] [font="Comic Sans MS"]Slander.[/font]

[font="Comic Sans MS"]Final roster for Team Shadow (ooh I'm so edgy): Tyranitar Houndoom Scrafty Honchkrow Krookodile Weavile Now I just need to train and nickname three of these.[/font]

[font="Comic Sans MS"][url="http://fyre-flye.deviantart.com/journal/40428056/#comments"]Lauren Faust just announced that she'll be slowly stepping down from involvement in the show.[/url] I posted my thoughts in the comments already, but that'll probably be a bit hard to dig up, so I'll just summarize them here: I don't think it will be quite the same without her. I don't think it will be terrible or any lesser in quality, but I think we'll all notice a difference. The writers, directors, animators and actors are all highly capable, and they've proven that over the course of the last season, so I'm confident they'll deliver more fantastic episodes in the next season. All the same, Lauren was kind of the reason this show was able to become so special in the first place. It was her love of the toys as a child and her determination to create a decent show for a demographic that's traditionally shafted that allowed [b]My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic[/b] to become so much more than the toyetic glurge the franchise used to be infamous for. She put her heart into this project and the results shone through. It's a shame she has to go, but in doing so, she leaves behind a standard of quality that serves as a shining example for both the show's staff and any girls' show following suit to live up to. Let's hope the second season maintains that quality, as I believe it can.[/font]

[quote name='James' timestamp='1304777057' post='707180']I have these horrible visions of [b]Osamaland[/b] popping up...[/font] [/quote] [center][img]http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/9332/gozaburokaiba.jpg[/img][/center] [font="Comic Sans MS"]He doesn't get a theme park! Think man, who would go to a place called [i]Osamaland[/i]?![/font]

[quote name='Sangome' timestamp='1304711260' post='707163'] [color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]I dunno. This episode felt kind of blah to me, especially as a season finale. I liked all the call backs to previous episodes, with all the pony cameos, the dresses they were wearing, and whatnot, but I...I just wasn't feeling it like I was feeling the past handful of episodes. I mean, don't get me wrong, it was still good...but [b]I guess I was expecting a bit more?[/b] I'm not sure.[/font][/color] [/quote] [font="Comic Sans MS"][spoiler]That was the moral lol[/spoiler] Yeah, but I agree to an extent. It definitely wasn't the best episode in the series (like I said, Cutie Mark Chronicles wins that award), but I thought it was still fun and it did provide some satisfying closure to the thing closest to resembling a story arc that this show has, so it seems fitting to end the season on that note. It occurs to me that Celestia is, all fanon aside, a very social and fun-loving ruler. I really can't blame her for her mischievous streak if she feels obligated to act proper all the time despite just wanting to have a good time with some good friends. Maybe part of the reason she sent Twilight off to learn about friendship is because she wishes she could spend more time with friends herself?[/font]

[font="Comic Sans MS"]Fun way to end a season, definitely. It's hard to top Cutie Mark Chronicles, but they did their best and the result was pretty darn great. Thoughts: - Applejack, you silly pony. You should have known that refreshments would be provided! - I'm honestly surprised that the Wonderbolts didn't show more interest in Dash. After all, even if she hadn't saved the lives of two of their members earlier this season, she's still performed a Sonic Rainboom twice now, and once was at a high-profile flying competition. - Pinkie's entire segment needs to be set to the song "Boombox" by Lonely Island. Seriously. - Fluttershy is the best pony. Love her or she'll freaking cut you. - Prince Douchington is Equestria's most worthless pony. Why wasn't he banished to the moon? Where is the justice, Celestia? - So apparently Celestia invited them all because the Grand Galloping Gala is far and away the most boring royal duty she has and she wanted a bunch of rowdy teenagers to liven things up by breaking stuff and frightening her exotic pets. If Trollestia wasn't a confirmed canon personality after A Bird in the Hoof, it sure as hell is now. I'm gonna go let the withdrawal set in for the next five months or so.[/font]

[quote name='chibi-master' timestamp='1304568164' post='707122'] It was that and 'Something That I Want'. *is now thinking of Rapunzel climbing onto Flynn's back* "Is it Ruffians?! Thugs?! [i]Have they come for me?![/i]" Ah, good times... [/quote] [center][img]http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/4703/angelmug2.jpg[/img][/center] [font="Comic Sans MS"]Don't move. It can probably smell fear.[/font]

[quote name='Felix the Cat' timestamp='1304347862' post='707026'] What I dislike is that there's already conspiracies about his death being faked so President Obama would increase his amount of voters. Seriously, do you have nothing better to worry about? [/quote] [font="Comic Sans MS"]I think Obama deserves more credit than that. Seems to me that if that were his motivation, he'd have done it, I dunno, closer to election time? Oh well, you've got idiots in every walk of life, that doesn't mean they represent the attitude of their entire group. It's just a pity that they have to be the most vocal ones.[/font]
