[15:00] <AlicornPriest> The breezies are "coming through? I thought she was leaving to see them?

[15:00] <@Sylocat> Pinkie has a prehensile tail

[15:00] <totient> prehensile tails ftw?

[15:00] <@Sylocat> Okay, I can't wait to see what these things look like

[15:01] <@Sylocat> Pinkie, didn't you learn from the band thing?

[15:01] <totient> "Softer!"  "Yay!"

[15:01] <Froborr> I love this, it's the inversion of that cold open with RD and Fluttershy.

[15:01] <@Sylocat> Fluttershy knows how to give a cheer quietly

[15:01] <Froborr> Exactly, totient!

[15:01] <AlicornPriest> Just what I was thinking

[15:01] <@Sylocat> HAHAH

[15:01] <@Sylocat> Yay

[15:01] <Froborr> LOL

[15:01] <Froborr> Okay, I laughed hard enough at that to turn into hacking coughs.

[15:01] <Froborr> I have a good feeling about this ep.

[15:02] <@Sylocat> Sombrero pony!

[15:02] <AlicornPriest> A mariachi band? Okay.

[15:02] <Froborr> Pony mariachi!

[15:02] <@Sylocat> Ooh, Natasha Levinger is back

[15:02] <Froborr> Yep.

[15:02] <mere_oblivion> @ Froborr: Though i'm a bit terrified as to how un-"adorable" they might turn out to be.

[15:02] <AlicornPriest> So much science!

[15:02] <@Sylocat> They're bees!

[15:03] <@Sylocat> Wait, a portal to their home?

[15:03] <Froborr> Are they like Perfectly Normal Beasts?

[15:03] <@Sylocat> They're from the mirror?

[15:03] <@Sylocat> Uh, Rarity...

[15:03] <AlicornPriest> How does that thing shine like that?

[15:04] <Froborr> lol

[15:04] <Froborr> Okay, so far this is the funniest episode this season.

[15:04] <@Sylocat> Yikes, you don't want to know that that reminds me of WHAT THE HECK ARE THOSE?

[15:04] <Froborr> They're like little butterfly fairy things?

[15:05] <totient> Spike noooo

[15:05] <@Sylocat> Pinkie attempting to stop talking?

[15:05] <Froborr> Spike is going to fuck everything up, isn't he?

[15:05] <totient> Eeyup

[15:05] <@Sylocat> Well... I don't think even Spike could have predicted that a stray leaf would do that

[15:06] <@Sylocat> What language is that?

[15:06] <Froborr> Are... are they talking in Swedish Chef talk?

[15:06] <mere_oblivion> Breezyspeak! Sounds like Russian with a Scottish accent.

[15:06] <@Sylocat> Ooh, are those Breezy curse words?

[15:06] <Froborr> It's like a cross between the Swedish Chef and a duck...

[15:06] <@Sylocat> It's like when the Firefly cast speaks Chinese

[15:06] <Froborr> I think they're speaking Simlish.

[15:06] <@Sylocat> Except vampire fruit bats

[15:06] <@Sylocat> Ouch

[15:06] <@Sylocat> Burn

[15:07] <Froborr> Wow, it's like Canadian Scottish Swedish.

[15:07] <Froborr> The accent, I mean.

[15:07] <totient> poor little guy

[15:07] <@Sylocat> It certainly could. How could they have kept every stray leaf on the trees?

[15:08] <@Sylocat> Wait, what kinds of bird are those?

[15:08] <@Sylocat> D'awwwwww

[15:08] <Froborr> They looked like cardinals maybe?

[15:08] <@Sylocat> Who designed these things?

[15:08] <Froborr> They're hideously adorable!

[15:08] <@Sylocat> That could have been bad

[15:08] <Froborr> ...I want to see them get in a fight with parasprites.

[15:08] <AlicornPriest> Is this what they looked like in G3?

[15:09] <@Sylocat> G3? These things are from previous-gens?

[15:09] <@Sylocat> Ah, they ARE curse words

[15:09] <AlicornPriest> Sort of.

[15:09] <Froborr> Wow, that really IS cursing.

[15:09] <@Sylocat> Huh... what's this a metaphor for?

[15:10] <AlicornPriest> Being careful about what you say around other cultures?

[15:11] <@Sylocat> So, Fluttershy gets her key to the box when she teaches that Breezy to stop being such a colossal jerk?

[15:11] <Froborr> I'm guessing so, yeah.

[15:11] <@Sylocat> Wait, they're playing hooky?

[15:11] <mere_oblivion> Or learns not to fall for kids pretending to have colds?

[15:11] <@Sylocat> What are they up to?

[15:12] <@Sylocat> Oh don't tell me they're doing this just to mess with that asshat?

[15:12] <Froborr> I think they're scared to go home for some reason.

[15:12] <@Sylocat> Hmm, who does Flitter's voice? Sounds familiar

[15:12] <Froborr> Or they just really hate Asshat Breeze.

[15:12] <@Sylocat> HAHAHAH... musical Breezies

[15:12] <AlicornPriest> It sounds a little like Spike.

[15:12] <Froborr> OMG TINY SAXOPHONE

[15:12] <Froborr> NO YOU DESTROYED THE TINY SAXOPHONE I HATE YOU FOREVER

[15:13] <Froborr> YOU ARE AS BAD AS DIAMOND TIARA ASSHAT BREEZE

[15:13] <@Sylocat> "Seabreeze?" That's the evil one's name?

[15:13] <Froborr> Yeah.

[15:13] <mere_oblivion> No sax on the day of a flight.

[15:13] <Froborr> *groan*

[15:13] <AlicornPriest> Also, this can't be the key episode because it's not about Fluttershy choosing true kindness over her job over a job advancement for raising animals.

[15:13] <@Sylocat> Oh, you're horrible

[15:13] <@Sylocat> (that's from Police Squad)

[15:13] <@Sylocat> Whoa... Seabreeze is in trouble

[15:14] <AlicornPriest> Ooh, antenna lights.

[15:14] <@Sylocat> Uh oh

[15:14] <Froborr> I am LOVING the perilous world of Breezie scale.

[15:14] <@Sylocat> Bees are bad

[15:14] <@Sylocat> AAARRRGGGHHH

[15:14] <Froborr> NO NOT THE BEES

[15:14] <@Sylocat> I hate bees!

[15:14] <Froborr> Alternatively, "Bees. My God."

[15:14] <@Sylocat> HAHAHAH

[15:14] <totient> flutterbee best bee

[15:14] <Froborr> Heheh, "bee kind."

[15:15] <Froborr> Holy shit, Fluttershy.

[15:15] <@Sylocat> The pacing on this episode is weird

[15:15] <@Sylocat> Ooh, she's mean because she's insecure

[15:16] <@Sylocat> Yep, it's the key episode

[15:16] <AlicornPriest> Aww... that's the message? I was hoping for them to focus on the "immediate versus long-term rewards."

[15:16] <Froborr> Ah, there it is.

[15:16] <AlicornPriest> Shows what I know. >_<

[15:16] <@Sylocat> Diversity of tones, that's a good lesson

[15:17] <Froborr> Huh, Fluttershy learning tough love.

[15:17] <Froborr> Aww, poor Flutters.

[15:17] <@Sylocat> Continuity!

[15:18] <totient> show needed more toy promotion

[15:18] <AlicornPriest> D:

[15:18] <@Sylocat> Wait, is she ging to give them all Rarity wings?

[15:18] <totient> clearly

[15:18] <@Sylocat> Or... not

[15:18] <@Sylocat> The heck is that?

[15:18] <Froborr> It's toyetic, is what it is.

[15:18] <@Sylocat> HAHAHAHAH

[15:18] <@Sylocat> Wow

[15:18] <@Sylocat> That's... equal parts adorable and terrifying

[15:19] <totient> +1 to the Sylocat theory of bringing out the trait in others

[15:19] <Froborr> Yep, it's really looking that way.

[15:19] <@Sylocat> Whoa, what was that beep in the stream?

[15:19] <@Sylocat> A portal to... WOW

[15:19] <@Sylocat> What IS this place?

[15:20] <AlicornPriest> I think you mean, "Whaaaaaaaaaat is this place?!"

[15:20] <@Sylocat> Wait, are those two a couple?

[15:20] <Froborr> Holy mini-sized new playset available at toystores everywhere!

[15:20] <AlicornPriest> Derpy breezy!

[15:20] <@Sylocat> That's the key

[15:20] <Froborr> D'awww.

[15:20] <@Sylocat> That flower

[15:20] <Froborr> And yeah, the flower's the key.

[15:21] <@Sylocat> HAHAHAH

[15:21] <totient> inb4 fanfics

[15:21] <@Sylocat> Oh yikes

[15:21] <@Sylocat> Oh the fanfics from this

[15:21] <@Sylocat> That was a good one!

[15:21] <Froborr> That was another good episode!

[15:21] <mere_oblivion> Indeed.

[15:22] <AlicornPriest> Good message, too.

[15:22] <@Sylocat> This season has been on fire

[15:22] <Froborr> It really has!

[15:22] <Froborr> If it keeps up like this, it's going to surpass S2 easily.

[15:23] <@Sylocat> So, out of the four new writers this season, three of them are great
