MLP Liveblog Chat Thingy: Rarity Takes Manehattan

How to participate in the liveblog chat:

Option 1: Whenever you watch the episode, comment on this post as you watch with whatever responses you feel like posting!

Option 2: Go to http://webchat.freenode.net/. Enter a nickname, then for the Channels field enter ##rabbitcube, and finally fill in the Captcha and hit Connect! We'll be watching the episode and commenting there starting at just before 2:00 p.m. EST. After the chat, I will update this post with a log of the conversation.

(Except this week I probably won't be in the chat because of MAGFest, so if someone could keep the log and post it in the comments or e-mail it to me or something, I'd be much obliged...)

Massively, absurdly late, here's the log of me watching it by myself days later:

[21:16] <Froborr> Okay.

[21:17] <Froborr> So, started a chat with myself because it's been almost a week since the episode and I still haven't watched it.

[21:17] <Froborr> Queueing it up now...

[21:19] <Froborr> Manehattan Fashion Week?

[21:20] <Froborr> Did she win Project Runway: Equestria?

[21:20] <Froborr> Bridleway.

[21:20] <Froborr> BRIDLEWAY

[21:21] <Froborr> I'm still trying to get over Bridleway

[21:21] <Froborr> That is some Detrot-calibre pun shenanigans

[21:21] <Froborr> ...The Friendship Express crossing the Brooklyn Bridge?

[21:21] <Froborr> That just looks... wrong.

[21:22] <Froborr> LOL about musicals

[21:22] <Froborr> Further confirmation that the musical numbers are no longer diegetic, and haven't been for a long time.

[21:23] <Froborr> The notion of Manhattan, the City That Hates You, being the center of kindness and generosity is... weird.

[21:23] <Froborr> Although it's possible that it's just me that Manhattan hates, and everyone else has had wonderful experiences visiting...

[21:24] <Froborr> That must be one heck of a daisy to be worth an amethyst.

[21:24] <Froborr> Huh, Rarity knows Mending.

[21:24] <Froborr> The Generosity song was... decent, but not great.

[21:26] <Froborr> Um... you have friends with wings and teleportation spells, Rarity.

[21:26] <Froborr> You don't need a taxi.

[21:26] <Froborr> And now there's 7 minutes to get Rarity her dresses.

[21:27] <Froborr> ...Or... not.

[21:27] <Froborr> Prim Hemline, that's pretty good.

[21:28] <Froborr> Man, Prim Hemline should hang out with the Equestria Games inspector.

[21:28] <Froborr> "Oh, I don't need luck, I cheat horribly."

[21:29] <Froborr> Yep. Idea thief.

[21:30] <Froborr> And even then the assistant does all the work.

[21:30] <Froborr> Wait, is Coco Ponel actually her name? That's even better.

[21:32] <Froborr> Rarity running a sweatshop is now canon.

[21:33] <Froborr> "I go out of my way to get you tickets for a show, and this is how you repay me? By going to the show?"

[21:34] <Froborr> The soap on a rope makes that first dress.

[21:36] <Froborr> Reprise or new song?

[21:36] <Froborr> Rarity sing sad song. =(

[21:38] <Froborr> ...How did she already arrange it if she thought they went home?

[21:38] <Froborr> And then the abused assistant reveals the truth.

[21:40] <Froborr> I'm going to have FUN writing on this one, it's an even better anti-capitalist episode than SSCS6K.

[21:40] <Froborr> Ah, and then the assistant gets to make the costumes.

[21:40] <Froborr> Another double lesson as well, I'm liking those.

[21:41] <Froborr> Okay, what is up with that rainbow sheen thing?

[21:41] <Froborr> That was odd.

[21:41] <Froborr> Pretty good episode overall. About damn time, too.
