The first two episodes are one big episode split into two, episode 2 is a continuation of episode 1. Also, episode 3 is a good episode.

I'm pretty sure you got warned for saying we were trolling, not for not liking my little pony, you are more than welcome to hate the show, and we are willing to listen to respectful arguments about why you dislike it, but that doesn't justify coming in here and accusing us of trolling, IMO ^_^
Still don't watch two, watch #7 and maybe #3 instead, as those are much better episodes to give you a picture of what the series is like.

If I watch the 7th episode, wouldn't I miss episode 4, 5, and 6? What if they have some inside jokes and I wouldn't be able to get? Like small references?

Because the series is episodic in nature there are really not very many inside jokes from episode to episode, I mean you won't know the ponies *as* well, but you won't be missing anything major, plus episode 2 is really comparatively weak.

Ehh... 7 actually introduces everyone, their homes, their families kind of, and their personalities really well.
4 5 6 don't seem to have anything necessary for epi 7 now that I watched, I'd watch epi 7 first and then go back to them.
If I watch the 7th episode, wouldn't I miss episode 4, 5, and 6? What if they have some inside jokes and I wouldn't be able to get? Like small references?
You would end up missing 3 good episodes.
I think the first one I watched was 15 before I watched it in order.
I'm glad my first post on TL was in a pony thread...

I remember episode 7 making one reference to 2, but it could easily slip by without you noticing. All episodes (except 1, 2 and 26) are rather stand-alone, and picking up the scarce references to previous episodes isn't going to make or break your experience.

You definitely forgot episode 14 from that list!

The first time I saw this show was on 4chan. Never spent much time there, but since it was on there, I was convinced it was a very large troll for the entire internet.
Looking through this thread, still felt that way. Watched an episode, still feel this way.
I don't see anything that makes it any different from any kids show. I watched episode 7. I feel like.. it's this big troll to admit you love MLP to get as many people as possible to watch it, while secretly laughing at them.
If it isn't this way, then I am astonished. I don't understand in the slightest. Mind you, I don't understand listening to music in a foreign language either. Perhaps I am just getting old.
I don't mean to offend anyone if this is something you really do enjoy, but from the outside looking in, it is extremely hard to believe. Please don't warn me, I am just a very, very confused man.

It's a part of a continuing story, but once you figure out that the ponies are going to a dance sometime in the future, the story is self contained. It's my opinion that you don't really need to see the struggle to get the tickets to appreciate that episode. Unless there is a major part I forgot about...

Truthfully the pilot does a poor bad job at it, the main premise is nothing like the first two episodes would have you think. I'm all for you to watch a bit more of it, but with that harsh of an opinion of the first episode I'm not entirely sure if the show is for you, which is okay. The suggested episodes, like 3 and 7 are fine, in any case. They're standalone enough for you not to miss anything vital.

I think if you're not sure yet, you should check the amounts of fanmade content that is constantly being produced for the show. For example, there's an Ace Attorney style game being made, a fighting game, tons of videos on youtube, fan-art and -fics all over the net and finally, Equestria Daily, a site with constant posts highlighting fanmade content like previously mentioned videos, fanfics and the like. That is far too much effort for a troll, wouldn't you think?

I'm surprised we've gotten this far without anyone mentioning MLP vs. Starcraft considering this is a Starcraft-focused website. Sure, it's a bullet hell and not an RTS, but I found it a lot of fun for a fan project, and the best part is that it's actually playable at this point.
