No, this is not a joke/trolling thread. We don't need more filler posts asking if it is. Remember to spoiler season 6 content, and clearly label your spoilers. | ||

Has Poison Joke been discussed for as an opening episode? Well people mentioned that they really liked the ep and they think it can be a good starting episode, but beyond that, it hasn't actually been 'discussed'. I think + Show Spoiler + Flutterguy singing Pinkie's song But I'd like to hear as well what people would have against ep 9 as an introductory episode. + Show Spoiler + The curses changing them should not really be a problem since you do see them prior to that in their normal ways in the first half of the ep. | ||

What makes it even worse is that they don't overcome this challenge on their own, they are forced to by essentially external forces. They don't decide to overcome their prejudice and find out zechora is good through their own efforts, rather they go on a whichhunt and are have the evidence that they are wrong reamed down their throats. The only pony who comes out looking good by the end of the episode is applebloom. Frankly I don't like this episode at all, and anyone seeing it would get the impression that the ponies are a bunch of racists. That's why I don't suggest it as a starter it fails to showcase the ponies overcoming adversity through their own efforts, but rather them lucking out at the end that applebloom was somewhat levelheaded. | ||

Episode 9 is great, Pinkie's song and dance is win x 1000000 + Show Spoiler + Plus the ponies are motivated by fear in the first half of the episode not out of hatred of zebras. And lets face it Flutterguy was pretty funny, especially when Pinkie Pie gets her to sing the song. win x 10^999999 Also it is Appleblossom not Applebloom :D | ||

It wasn't until she was feeling the effects of the poison joke that she even began to be worried, and it took some convincing for her to think otherwise (an unexplainable curse). She didn't understand the warning and thought she got cursed (with some incorrectly interpreted evidence) and thus jumped to a conclusion, but she wasn't doing it for racist reasons or anything like that. | ||

Beyond that, the episode has a little bit of that wackiness that exist in most of our favorite episodes, but it's not the kind of wackiness that requires you to see previous episodes. Unlike Dragonshy, none of the characters come off as a drag -- they're active, even if its in the wrong way at first. And it's a funny episode. I think it could be a good contender, but I don't *know* until we see if other people see them as being biggoted or just ignorant-and-then-cured. Of course, maybe I'm underselling the amount that seeing the ponies flaws so much as a first episode will effect their perception of the series. Even if it does, though, is it a perception that is easier to overcome if the rest of the episode does a good job at getting them involved? That's the question. | ||

Actually... introducing the ponies as sharply flawed might be an excellent way to sell the series. Skeptical new viewers are expecting saccharine blandness, and are suddenly hit up with the main cast being cowardly and bigoted in humorous ways, and getting called on it repeatedly. I'm switching to episode 9 as my converting episode. | ||

I should get my ears checked 0-o Regardless episode 9 is awesome for this moment, one of the best Pinkie moments in season 1 (possible spoiler in the vid): | ||
