MLP: FiM Season 7 Thoughts!
Chapter 28: Episode 21: Marks and Recreation
Previous Chapter Next ChapterHey everypony!
Time to say my afterthoughts on "Marks and Recreation" and also the promo for "Once Upon a Zeppelin"!
Okay, so "Marks and Recreation"… I'm actually not so sure about this episode and whether I like it or not… I'm very conflicted by it.
Quite simply, this episode is basically the Season 6 premiere and finale put together in that Rumble is the colt version of Starlight and Thunderlane is basically Twilight and the CMCs are the rest of the Mane 6…
In fact, I was really hoping that maybe Starlight might appear and maybe play a part in explaining to Rumble about cutie marks. But at the same time, I'm also thankful that it was only a CMC focused episode and didn't focus on the Mane 6 and Starlight.
And I would like to say that I rather enjoyed that the crusaders set up their camp at Camp Friendship, the place where AJ and Rara became friends, but I had no idea that the camp was right next to Ponyville… I thought it wasn't… Oh well… Oh speaking of Rara… WHERE IS SHE!?
Oh and what's with the circle filly? She loves drawing circles and yet… She gets a cutie mark in haiku… What…
One last thing I would very much love to mention about the episode… Sweetie Belle… Nice job staying calm… You really nailed it… LOL! :)
Okay, promo time!
The promo for "Once Upon a Zeppelin" is very good and explains so much more about the next episode.
It's not only the original Sparkle family, meaning Twilight and Shining Armor and their parents, but also Cadance and Flurry Heart! Yay! I get to see the adorable little alicorn again! Someone pinch me if I'm dreaming!
And also the part where Twilight and her parents are actually speaking to each other when Twilight's mom, Twilight Velvet, explains that her and Twilight's dad got the free vacation out of the blue. And then Twilight says back that she's confused as to her parents not knowing who offered them the trip. So yeah… Our first actual exchange of conversation between Twilight and her parents! Boy am I excited to see what more conversation they have!
Well that's it!
Next time we come back we're going to of course talk about the afterthoughts for "Once Upon a Zeppelin", which I'm really excited for and the promo for "Secrets and Pies"!
