Time to step back into season 1 with our next topic. Episode. Bridle GossipThis episode is unique in a few ways. 1)It brought Zebras back into MLP, and this time not evil (despite initial reactions) unlike the G1 Zebra. 2)Had a bit of off-the-wall stuff happening, and not because of Pinkie Pie. 3)Flutterguy's voice cracks me up. 4)It's a rare Apple Bloom episode that DOESN'T feature her quest for a Cutie Mark. The only other one she wasn't the major player for, and that's Sisterhooves Social. Though I'm probably in the minority in saying that I wish that they didn't introduce the rhyming gimmick for Zecora, as I think it hinders her (hence why we don't see her that much) and if overused can get annoying (see also: Demetria from Power Rangers Turbo speaking only in questions at the start).

The Poisonjoke made for some great gags (who could forget Flutterguy?) and the moral is certainly one of the deeper ones of the series.

Catching up:
- Derpy cameo of season 2, probably the Luna Eclipse one, though when she interrupted Lyra & Bon Bon and when she literally waved to the audience rank up there.
- Tank, well he's f***ing awesome. Just wish it wasn't so blatantly obvious that he was going to become Dash's pet. :-\
- Bridle Gossip, I give a B+/8.5 out of 10 to. Lots of funny bits, it introduced Apple Bloom, and thankfully she wasn't in CMC mode, because the CMC didn't exist then.

Best bits of 2011? So it'll be talking about how del Rio, Mahal, and DiBiase made their money?
As for Bridle Gossip, I think it's a pretty good one. Not a series best or anything, but it's solid and definitely has some very memorable moments.

Obligatory: Anyway, I sympathized with Twilight and Apple Bloom here, since I knew that it was just a misunderstanding as soon as the other ponies started making up crazy rumors. I guess this was Twi's redemption for "Look before you Sleep" in terms of smartness. Also, this episode introduced the Flower Trio, to which MD and I are grateful for. ;D

Morning, guys... Now to catch up...
Luna - I love her canon personality, much better than what I was expecting. Becoming Popular - It was all right. Liked the accompanying montage/video clip. Ghastly Gorge - Not fussed about it, really. I'd love to see Apple Bloom try and jump it, only for Big Macintosh to do it instead, in a homage to the definitive Simpsons clip. Discord - Awesome villain. I mark out now whenever I see de Lancie in other things, like that episode of MacGyver I told you about. Derpy cameos - The Nightmare Night one is my favourite, mostly because it partially canonized the Derpy/Carrot Top friendship, right down to Carrot Top being the "straight man". Tank - I like the opposites attract aspect of Dash and Tank, and how they're so loyal to each other. Bridle Gossip - Still holds up as a great episode, with Flutterguy, Evil Enchantress and LOTUS SPEAKS!

I guess I should do a quick retrospective of what I haven't talked about, even though I have to go to work in a half hour anyway.
Becoming Popular: Good montage, and an efficient way of showing Rarity's popularity grow without using a ton of screen time. Love the touch at the end with Opal pissed that she hasn't worked on the dress.
Ghastly Gorge: For some reason, I actually thought this was called Gasleak Gorge. I think that name sounds cooler too, but it doesn't have anything to do with ponies. Cool place, but not that much to talk about.
Discord: Best villain of the series by far. de Lancie knocked this role out of the park.
Derpy cameos: I liked her appearance in Rarity's montage, if only for the fact that she was in her Nightmare Night costume.
Tank: Tank's kind of just there for me right now. Maybe another pet episode is needed for me to actually form a real opinion.
