We're almost at the end of the season! What am I going to do on Saturday mornings when I have no weekly geek out to geek out about?! Well, I suppose I'll find something....new story updates or something else pony related...ANYWAYS: my geek out this week:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-
SPOILERS!!!!
-=-=-=-=--=-=-
Oh, my god, Feather Weight is an adorable pegasus pony...I want one! Why aren't these ponies real!
"Move your caboose!" So, Granny Smith just talks like that on a regular basis?
-_- Of all the ideas to get your cutie mark, you use newspaper to make a boat? Actually, that was kinda awesome, but STILL!!! Avoid the obvious idea...
Apple Bloom laughing at her friends was so cute!
Chubby background colt is getting a lot of screen time. Does he have a name?
"But Namby Pamby was a GREAT editor!" Okay...I loled...That was clever.
The drawbacks of being sister to a fashion designer - you are trying to do something important, and end up being a living mannequin.
Awwww!! Scootaloo still can't fly! And birds laughing at her? It would have been better if it were Looney Tunes - ish laughing, and they were tweeting in a laughing way...tweeting, as in the noise birds make, not micro-blogging...anyways...
Baby Apple Bloom pictures!! I love how she's embarrassed by it, even though it's just her and Granny Smith looking at it.
Love the way Sweeite Belle looked when she went to investigate. She is the best CMC ^_^
The little colt reading the newspaper sounds like he hit puberty early on...Seriously, the colt voices sound way too mature, at least to me.
Diamond Tiara complementing the girls? Calling their idea a stroke of genius? That was just...odd...I don't even think she talks to Silver Spoon so kindly...
Snips and Snails are attention whores...
Lol, Rarity's laugh was too cute. And when Sweetie hit her horn? Well, if it's THAT easy to disarm a unicorn....take notes, people. If you ever get magicked by an out of control Twilight Sparkle, just smack her on the horn.
Pound And Pumpkin Cake!!!! Seriously, how is that news, though? That's what babies do....they cry at the most inopportune times.
How.....how are they...how are they typing on those typewriters....?? WHAT SORCERY IS THIS?!
Hooficure? Heh, Applejack getting the massage. Okay, that was too cute.
Trixie? So, she's fresh in everypony's minds to the point that she has a newspaper article written about her....does she live nearby? Do they hear rumors? Hmmm..
And EW, the cucumbers on the eyes? She ATE it? He took it back out of her mouth?! Just...just, EW!!
How did that little pony get a picture of Celestia?! And the mayor? It looks like they both saw the camera!
Oh my god, the giant toe separator for Twilight's hooves. I don't even....
LOL, the look on RD's face when she lays down. And yeah, I wouldn't like anypony touching my hoove, either. Gotten one manicure in my life cause my friend made me do it for prom. It was torture. TORTURE.
That's a lot of gossip to have in just one newspaper. okay...
AJ - Awww! But she's such a hard worker!
BM - Smarty Pants!!!
TS - Everypony thought that, anyway, Twilight. Heh, or in my head canon, they do...
FS - Tail extensions? I KNEW IT!! It's all lies with you, Fluttershy! ALL LIES!!
PP - she just admitted she had a problem, and everyone ignores her -_- This is how problems get out of hand...or hoof.
RD - poor Rainbow!
Rarity - I wish I knew what her diary said....
I love how Rarity suspected her sister the second Twilight mentioned that her sister was on the newspaper. Yet, I'm a little disappointed that Rarity wasn't as dramatic as she could have been...But she was pretty big sister-y, which was nice. We rarely get to see that side of Rarity.
Feather Weight! how could you! And Diamond Tiara......you BITCH!!!
RD - Love that she made it rain on them
FS - Cry a river, Flutters!?
TS - a FORCE FIELD?! Holy Crap! The fanon's head exploded, I think...
AJ and BM - That role reversal.. And Oh my god, BM talking in full sentences? Yelling? OH MY GOD! I had my hand over my mouth the entire time. Shocked.
Hehe, the presses haven't started yet. They have a really close cut off time from printing to release....
Awww, Dinky!!! Diamond Tiara, what the hell?!
RD bouncing on the cloud again. So much win...
Seriously, Cheerilee? Did you pay attention at all to the newspaper? You were supposed to supervise! Instead you left a bunch of kids to their own devices and were probably the only pony in town who didn't read the newspaper, or how the gossip column had spun out of control. We've established you don't have a special somepony, and you seem to live for your job...I mean, how much grading is involved that it eats up all your time? It's like that line from Avenue Q. "Are you doing anything tonight?" "Grading Term Papers...but it's kindergarten, so they're VERY short." So what were you doing that you couldn't supervise?!
Diamond Tiara getting knocked into the printing press and covered in ink...still too good for her...
-=-=-=-=-=-
Overall, I liked the episode. I'd probably give it a 5 out of 5. It started off slow, but really picked up, and there was just a lot of fun moments in it ^_^ The CMC episodes are really getting better and better now that they're not constantly on a journey to get their cutie marks, but actually acting like friends. Even if this episode started with them wanting their cutie marks...it evolved. So, yeah.
Thoughts? Love? Hate? Joy? Favorite moment?

Listening to: my birds chirping
I also thought the role-reversal with AJ and Big Mac was pretty awesome. I generally loved all the reactions of the mane six to the CMC.
The ending was sweet, how the CMC went around to everypony and stuff.
The Trixie-shoutout was also pretty awesome. I think a big part of the fandom cried out at that very moment. I'm not that big of a Trixie fan, but I like those little continuity nods.
Sweetie was incredibly cute the whole time. And we even got an Scootaloo VRRRRRRRR-wing-flap-moment. My heart skipped a beat.
I also liked the episode, it wasn't really super special to me or anything, but it was definitely fun and sweet. And I always like the CMC episodes.
I'm kinda hyped for the next one tough. The trailer during the ads was AWESOME. I WANT IT NAU. [insert Applebloom clip here]
That's true huh? Scootaloo did have a VRRRRR moment. It's like a hummingbird born too big for her own wings!
Wait, what trailer?!?! WHAT TRAILER!??! I missed a--excuse me...I gotta go to Youtube for...something...*rushes off*
