It’s time!
Stream Of Conscience review time. This episode looks like it will introduce us to the oft named but never seen Las Pegasus. I also saw by a thumbnail for the episode’s video, that we will see the return of the double dealing doubles, Flim and Flam. Unlike last week, there are plenty of videos so there will be no big delay this time (despite the fact that I am starting this later-attended the birthday of my two year old niece). I see no reason to delay it any further, so here we go!
*We start out with an outside shot of the Castle Of Friendship.
*Don’t know AJ, but it looks like it will be with Fluttershy.
*My two favorite Mane 6 seem none too happy about the prospect of visiting Sin City.
*None too happy at all.
*You wanna bet? Well Las Pegasus is the just the place for that kind of thing.
*Love that instant scene change (just like Rainbow’s prank of AJ)!
*No, it appears to be so much worse.
*Pretty much what I said.
*Indoor amusement park? How amusing.
*Penn and Teller ponies!
*Well, not amusing to them.
*Which is why they aren’t there, too obvious a choice.
*Wonder if this dude is related to Flim and Flam. He sure dresses like them and seems to have their flair for the dramatic and ability to draw a crowd.
*Glad Mane, more like Rad Mane. Also, why does he look like Elvis?
*That is a strange greeting.
*You’re shaking too hard.
*You’re a first. Not even their fellow Ponyville residents recognize them most the time.
*A tourist trap?
*Yeah, friends as long as they have money to pay for said friendship.
*That was a creepy reaction.
*Well, getting paid good money can make anypony seem friendly.
*Something tells me Fluttershy just saw a critter.
*I’m pretty sure that’s a dye job Fluttershy.
*Obviously those are modeled after the famous lion tamers, Siegfried and Roy.
*As with all things Fluttershy, that is so damn cute! Also, why does one of those guys have a white tiger cutie mark when he’s training small rodents?
*That voice!
*A voice that sets Applejack into anger mode.
*Yup, Flim and Flam
*Dun dun duuuuuunnnnn!
*The Flim Flam brothers at each other’s throat, where have I seen that before. Oh yes, the comics! In that one, they were at odds because both were in love with the same Mare. Wonder if that will be the reason here?
*That is a possibility.
*Now now Applejack, Forgive And Forget.
*That’s an understatement.
*AJ ain’t having none of that!
*Milk shakes?
*Typical Applejack, stubborn as a mule… or a pony.
*Did you get all that Fluttershy? Because I sure didn’t; too much work to capture all those screen shots.
*Twin anger in stereo!
*Face it Fluttershy, if you’re going to solve this problem you’ll need AJs help.
*So no gambling huh? Las Pegasus is just one giant adult Showbiz Pizza (Chucky Cheese to most of you-Showbiz Pizza was their competition where I lived when I was a child, before Chucky Cheese bought them out-Showbiz was so much better), like Dave and Buster.
*Peel back the facade, and you have a totally different story.
*That “ta da”! Too damn funny!!!!!
*Don’t worry about that poor bunny; I’m sure the fall won’t kill him. Though I’m sure the sudden stop will.
*If Fluttershy were there, that magician acrobat would get her comeuppance.
*I’m sorry AJ, but it’s probably connected to the one with Flim and Flam.
*So now the gay lov… I mean the two flamboyant friends are having a problem.
*So, if I’m getting this right, the underlying problem is Glad Mane. I knew there was something suspicious of that guy. Nopony recognizes Fluttershy and Applejack as important ponies!
*Barking up the wrong tree Fluttershy. An apple tree!
*AJ is starting to connect the dots.
*Quite the bi polar reaction from her.
* Fluttershy seems to be getting the truth from a furry friend.
*Glad Mane is starting to appear like the Reverend Sun Myung Moon (a cult leader).
*Once again, Fluttershy is getting the truth from the furry little creatures.
*Again AJ, Moneytalks.
*Playing the two sides against each other. A classic, yet always clever move for a swindler.
*I know what you’re thinking Fluttershy, but it won’t be easy. AJ is dead set against it.
*Eyup!
*That expression! Fluttersy is getting some good ones this season.
*You wore her down Flutters good job! Also another great expression!
*She just had to throw in that extra maybe.
*Revelation!
*That vaudeville shtick.
*The best friends money can buy!
Buy
*They are quite the Vaudvillains! No, not those guys:
*I don’t think they like the sound of that.
*OMC: Oh my Celestia!
*Fluttershy is playing the part very well!
*Scout or scalp?
*That didn’t set too well with him.
*He’s so mad he’s steaming!
*Fluttershy’s mane coming down was pretty amusing.
*Well after that display, did you expect any other answer?
*No, that doesn’t looks suspicious in the least.
*That appears too obvious. Though I’m sure like most dishonest characters on this show, he’ll be totally oblivious to the microphone just above his head or the fact his voice is reverberating.
*Nice swerve!
*Such a cleaver Dick!
*Well, that’s a change! A bad guy with an IQ higher than that of a PE teacher.
*No words have ever been more true. I prefer never bullshit a bullshitter, but this is a kid’s show so…
*Well see who gets the Last Laugh.
*The Shame!
*A sound argument Fluttershy, I’m sure he’ll change his mind now.
*This guy is evil I tell you, EVILLLLLLLLLL!!!!!
*Why do I get the feeling he’s falling for a trap?
*Because he did! Oh, and that cute Fluttershy smile!
*Boo ya bitch!
*Or was it? We’ll never know.
*Yeah, friendship. Nopony believes that.
*So it wasn’t just me who thought he looked like Elvis.
*Cute mares in the left corner!
*The butts are a glowing, success!
*A fact that I’m sure you’ll both regret.
*Meaning I’m right with my last bulletpoint.
*Oh, I’m sure Applejack knows.
*They’re Back In The Saddle Again!
*Only idiots would fall for that!
*Idiots
Another good episode! Since coming back from the hiatus, they’ve been able to keep me entertained. I love all the expressions my favorite Mane 6 Fluttershy has been getting and to see my two favorite Mane 6 together again (Hooffields and McColts was the last time) was nice. Also good to see Flim and Flam on the side of good for a short time, though I’m glad they kept them as conmen (with the names Flim Flam they can’t really be anything less). Though I am a tad disappointed I must say. I kept hoping to find pony versions of Johhny Depp and Benicio Del Toro from Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas. Before anyone says that they wouldn’t reference a movie with the content of that but they have before:
Also, remember the Big Labowski reference in a previous episode. That was quite a missed opportunity, but just a minor complaint. As for my SoC, I’m quite happy with this one. I think it is one of my funniest, at least to me. I’ll leave it to you the reader to be the judge. Not a whole lot of bonus shots this time around, but it’s about quality, not quantity (though I may have neither).
"Welcome to the giant pony's palace!"
"Darn it Fluttershy! That was the last of my weed!"
"Should they be doing that in public?"
"Ain't I great?!"
"Oh my, I do declare I've gots the vapors!"
"Come here sugarcube, lets give the shippers what they want."
"Um, I don't think these guys are just friends."
"Mother always did like you best!"
"Writing fanfiction is so hard, I don't know how Rainbow Dash does it."
"You + me = ship!"
"So what do ya say girls? How about being the filling in a Flim Flam sandwich?"
And let's not forget the parting shot:
