I still think they should've done an episode about one of the CMCs getting their cutiemarks and actually try to hide it because she still wants to be part of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. I dunno. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo were pretty quick to accept Apple Bloom's "cutie mark" in Cutie Pox. |

Okay, since I do have other things to talk about...
Just For Sidekicks is another episode that falls into the Proper Use of Power theme for the season, but in a way that actually comes off as different from the other episodes. Instead of it being about the abuse of power, it's about shirking your responsibilities and trying to pass off your work to others. Spike put himself into a position of power by saying he'd watch over the pets, but he clearly had no intention of actually doing what he was being paid for, and it ended up costing him most of his gems by the end.
That said, I still didn't like it.

*Later on, the Castle is attacked by Queen Chrysalis, the resurrected King Sombra, and their Changeling Army. They have captured the other Elements of Harmony, and have Twilight and Shining Armor cornered, as the other Princesses are in the changeling cocoons.* QC: "Well, well, well. If it isn't the little brat who foiled my marriage scheme to take over the kingdom. And look! She's become a Princess. Oh, with her cute little crown and wings. I do hope those are real." *Shining Armor stands between her and Twilight, as Twilight cowers in the corner.* QC: "Aww, isn't this adorable, love? The Captain of the Royal Guard is protecting his widdle sister." KS: "Indeed. 'Tis a shame there's no one to protect him. Or to save them from their imminent destruction." Doctor: "Oh, I wouldn't say that." *Chrysalis and Sombra look to the door, seeing a chestnut colored stallion, mane slicked back, wearing a tweed jacket and bowtie, with a hourglass cutie mark on his flanks.* SA, TS: "DOCTOR!!!" Doctor: "Sorry I was late. Had to stop at a car wash. Or what would you call a car wash in Equestria, since there's really no cars in Equestria? You wouldn't believe the bug infestation in this town, so many bugs that splattered against the ol' TARDIS. Kinda nasty, kinda splatterly. Almost made me want to puke." QC: "You simpleton. You stupid, stupid foal. Do you have any idea who you're dealing with?" Doctor: "Um, let me take a quick guess here. We have here the queen of the flying Swiss cheese, and her husband, the mute king, or maybe the king of very few words. I bet the wedding was atrocious, and the reception a bore. Hell, I bet the cake was a lie." QC: "You stupid little pony. I am Queen Chrysalis. Queen of the Changeling Empire!! I have taken over lands far beyond the eye can see." KS: "And I am King Sombra, the true ruler of the Crystal Empire, one of the most powerful Empires in all of Equestria." QC: "And I have a black history to boot. Fear me, Doctor, for I have killed hundreds of alicorns." *But the Doctor stops, and looks at them. Soon, we hear this melody playing in the background. The Doctor looks down, and we hear a soft chuckle, one that leaves a chill down Twilight's spine.* QC: "Something amuse you, foal?" Doctor: "Fear me, she says, for she's killed hundreds of alicorns. A trifle, I may say. No offense to the lovely princesses here, but it PALES in comparison to the deeds that I have done throughout the universe." *Chrysalis and Sombra look on, intrigued, but a little fear starting to appear in their eyes.* Doctor: "I am the Destroyer of Worlds. My name is written across the Medusa Cascade. I have sent my enemies into the Void of Reality!! I've saved the whole of Reality time after time!! I have changed fixed points in time to my liking!!" *Slowly, fear starts to envelope not only the villains, but Twilight and Shining Armor.* Doctor: "I have ended lives in the blink of an eye. I destroyed two races all in the name of ending a Time War. I am the last of my kind, all by my own doing. So you say, fear me for I've killed hundreds of alicorns. FEAR ME, CHRYSALIS. FOR I KILLED THE TIME LORDS!!" *Soon, there's a grim fear in the eyes of the two, as they look at this Madpony.* Doctor: "And there's nothing I won't do to stop you from hurting the ones I love. For I am The Doctor. And the monsters run from me." |

Shame about Derpy, that was part of the fun of the show - to see where she'd show up.
so where is Hasbro corporate? Derpy should send some "weather"
a "City"? May I add said requested storms?
