That's good. In general, I have nothing against dubs as long as they are good. BTW, I am watching "Fake It Till You Make It" but it might take until tomorrow to do the review. I prefer to think of them as Sailor Senshi. Speaking of Sentai, another thought came to me, as I feel the Pillars of Old Equestria remind me alot of Kyroryu Sentai Zyuranger.

Punkity was happy that I liked her look. But she was kinda confused when I let it slip that she was the real CM Punk, so I explained to her who that is. Intrigued by it, I agreed to let her watch some of his best moments while I rubbed her belly. She liked what she saw (well, she did wrestle once in a tag team with Cheerilee) but also said that during his SES phase, he looked absolutely horrendous and needed a head-to-toe makeover. Still, she thanked me for the distraction while I worked my magic.

After one more night to think about it (review will come later today), this is still my favorite face of Fluttershy from that episode...

So, her Mick Foley face then.
The business one is Cactus Jack: serious minded. Hipster is Dude Love, obviously. Goth is Mankind, going by original Mankind.

Indeed, and to be really honest...this episode heads for a 6/10 rating.

Did Discord seriously just blow his nose then wipe his eyes with the same Tissue?
Dirty f***er.
Also another great Starlight Glimmer Face.
And Ocellus is a nerd.
Back to watching.

Even as a corpse Discord is causing trouble.

That was a pretty fun episode.
I do find Discord to be a bit of a hit and miss character but I quite enjoyed him in this.
So yeah, I liked it.

"Fake It Till You Make It"...gets a 6/10 from me.
Pros:
-Loved how the raccoon family from "The Saddle Row Review" played a big role here. They were definitely a highlight in how proactive they were in supporting Fluttershy, but also in how they were the ones who got help as soon as they saw how out of control Fluttershy was getting. They definitely shined in this ep.
-Also liked the callbacks to previous episodes like the sales assistants ponies, that goth pony from "Canterlot Boutique" (did she move to Manehattan to get away from her bright-natured sister?) as well as Sassy Saddles. Would have been even better if COCO Pommel was there (seriously, wasn't she supposed to be a shop assistant, too, in "The Saddle Row Review"? Why wasn't she here?). Also loved seeing Sweet Feather Sanctuary again.
-The secondary characters like Valley Glamour, the other goth pony and the guy obsessed over thread numbers were also very fun and made the Fluttercharacter scenes a bit better. Wouldn't mind seeing them in future Manehattan episodes again.
-Loved the gag with Rarity running through all the possible substitutes before coming to Fluttershy. That was fun
Cons:
-I just could not get into any of Fluttershy's personas. Found them all a bit one-dimensional and mean-spirited to be honest. Could have been more fun by giving her even more characters depending on the customer until we hit a "Mimic Madness" situation. Instead, it just got to the point where it was just unpleasent to see. Yeah, the Mick Foley face of Fluttershy at the end was the best easily. All the other personas can go right back where they came from.
-That has to be the most aniclimatic ending to an MLP episode I have seen in a long time. Just Rarity dismissing all of Fluttershy's personas and...that's it? How about the Mane Six creating customer characters of their own to get Fluttershy out of it or something? That would have been more entertaining than whatever it is that we got for an ending.
-The mane six were for the most part completely superfluous in this episode. Besides getting the news to Rarity, you could have written them out of the episode entirely without any loss. Just have Softpad, Smokey and Smokey Jr. go by themselves to the show to tell Rarara what's what. Or perhaps use Coco Pommel in this episode to have her be the one to inform Rarity about what is going on.
Yeah, a 6/10 this one gets.

MLP Episode ratings after adding MD's:
MLP: The Movie: 8.44 School Daze: 7.70 The Maud Couple: 7.33 Fake it Till you Make it: 7.38
And unless MD hates it, "Horse Play" is looking to be the runaway best episode this first half of the season.
