MLP: FiM Season 7 Thoughts!
Chapter 20: Episode 17: To Change a Changeling
Previous Chapter Next ChapterHey everypony!
Another episode aired, so that means it's time for my afterthoughts!
Lets dive into it!
Okay, now I really did like "To Change a Changeling", I thought it really provided a very good look on a location that's not Ponyville and it surprised me as well!
Before the episode, I thought Starlight was called by the map table to the Changeling Kingdom and that she just took Trixie along with her. Turns out the two just went on their own free will, which is really nice of them! Although their welcome wasn't all too good…
And that brings me to Pharynx… Boy did I really like his character, it was interesting to see how he still wants to hang on to the old ways, even thought everyone else has transformed and reformed their society. But I especially loved the relationship he shares with Thorax, his brother, loving him, but at the same time not listening to Thorax.
I guess that's the reason why Pharynx decides to stay with the Changelings rather than go with Chrysalis, after all what was stopping him from joining Chrysalis when she escaped? And it was especially interesting to see how Pharynx had to admit openly that he loved the hive in order to transform, unlike how the rest of the Changelings transformed.
I really do hope that Pharynx makes more appearances in the future when there are episodes that feature the Changelings. Maybe he'll even be a major character when the premiere or finale of Chrysalis' revenge against Starlight comes! I really hope so!
However I will say that I wish there were some things that were added to the episode… I like the flashback, I thought Thorax was especially very cute at such a young age! I was actually hoping for one, but I do wish that Chrysalis was also part of the flashback, to show how both Thorax and Pharynx reacts to their queen.
I also wonder how different the episode would have been if the map table did in fact call Starlight to the Changeling Kingdom or if Twilight instead of Trixie came, maybe the episode would have been better… Or worse… I don't know… What do you ponies think? But Twilight must be pretty jealous that Starlight took Trixie instead of her to the Changeling Kingdom, just like in the Season 6 finale, LOL!
And last, but not least, a quick word on the promo for the next episode, "Daring Done". Well as the summary already stated, that A.K. Yearling, aka, Daring Do, is announcing her retirement with her last book. And the promo does show that Rainbow Dash and Pinkie go on an adventure with Daring Do. Maybe it's the simple fact that Daring Do has no more enemies and treasures to protect for her after this adventure is done, so there's no more reason to write anymore books. Or maybe not… with Pinkie's logic, she can find out about anything!
So what do you ponies think of that? Will this in fact be the last ever Daring Do episode? Or will Daring Do still go on more adventures and with it more books!?
And I'll see you when I do the afterthoughts on that episode!
