[Blind Commentary] MLP S6E16: The Times They Are a Changeling

[@TheMasterOfByGames]

Spike had a solo song in the album "It's a Pony Kind of Christmas" called "Jolly Ol' St. Nick"!

[@aliciaadame4934]

I love how Spike teaches the ponies a lesson in friendship

[@PonyWatchReactions]

So... changelings are back. I wonder if this means we'll eventually get to see more of Queen Chrysalis.

[@AlishaH-ps3yw]

Speaking of changelings, did you notice that Thorax had a turquoise colour when he changed into something, instead of green like all the other changelings (and Chrysalis).

[@SpacialRend7]

The evidence is overwhelming, isn't it? I would expect another epic changeling war along with the alliances that Twilight and company have made up until now(Discord, the griffons, yaks, and the dragons too)!😉

[@AlishaH-ps3yw]

Yeah lets hope that this will happen in the finale because it would be totally amazing and it would end the season with something really epic.

[@AlishaH-ps3yw]

+Christian Galvan He probably said that because when you type in Google the episode, it shows you that "The Times They Are A Changeling" is episode 17 and not 16. idk

[@AndrewMeyer]

+Christian No idea. The file had that as its name...

[@Narrator007]

Hello again to my favorite triple threat of pony commentary!

[@ardawen]

The Spike song had to grow on me, but after watching a few commentaries i do like it now, it's different, but it fits with Spike And you thought Changelings could not talk pony?! YOU RACIST! DID YOU LEARN NOTHING FROM THE EPISODE?!

[@AndrewMeyer]

Yeah, after listening to it a few more times that song is definitely starting to grow on me.

[@ardawen]

It's also what i personally imagine what a song written by Spike would be .

[@chupacabraazul6669]

It turns out its not Kevin. Thorax has a different coloration and eye shape.

2:59 Spike's Rarity doll

[@bonbonpony]

09:30 Those tunes from "This Day Aria" in background music: BRILLIANT, Mr. Anderson ;> 11:10 Thorax is a Latin medical term for the torso / chest bones. 11:20 You mean _this_ Luna? ;> kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2GUn6Vmecilgas#t=48s 14:20 "They told me that Changelings cannot befriend with Ponies. But I didn't listen! (° )...( °) " :) 16:30 Come on! Don't blame him that much. He's been really put between a rock and a hard place in this situation. "Persona non grata" new friend vs. old friends which trust you. What would _you_ choose? 16:40 He _was_ loyal: to his old friends. 21:55 Because no pony wants to be worse now ;> 22:25 Now that's some serious wisdom right here :> Pour him a shot of whiskey ;) 22:45 That one too. Actually it's probably the most important moral in the history of this show :> 23:25 Now it's time for Chandler the Changeling :)

[@camponotusinflatus9920]

Actually thorax is a Greek word (θώραξ), it's even on Wikipedia.

[@bonbonpony]

@@camponotusinflatus9920 Well, I just checked a couple of etymology dictionaries and it seems that it's both: it's a word in Latin which came from Greek. Unfortunately, none of the dictionaries said where did it come from into Greek ;) So I guess a couple of years in the future someone will correct us both ;) (if KZbin will still exist, that is).

[@martinadiaz1145]

The baby always knew, she always knew he was good 😢 ❤

[@ThunderClanFan22]

Remember thorax is the timid changeling from season six

[@JynSherlock]

Spike sing in The Failure Song and The Success Song in The Crystal Empire

[@AndrewMeyer]

Yeah, those weren't solo songs though.

[@TheMasterOfByGames]

Spike had also a solo song in the album "It's a Pony Kind of Christmas" called "Jolly Ol' St. Nick"!

[@AndrewMeyer]

hiperdoza Ah, good point, I forgot about that one. Though this still makes this the first Spike solo in the show itself.

[@TheMasterOfByGames]

In the show yes!

[@sukaquensell8082]

+hiperdoza yo

[@ai_named_oliver7179]

okay I am wayyy late to the party but while I was watching this episode with a friend they literally said "ayo Thorax what that tongue do? 👀" and I have been scarred ever since-

[@drewjohnson662]

I'm serious you guys keep up the great work you guys are awesome!!😄😄😄

[@maxtoan216]

What if Boulder is a Changeling?

[@AndrewMeyer]

Yeah, I saw that theory on Doctor Wolf's review of the episode. Pretty hilarious concept...

[@alex-iz5jv]

DUN DUN DUN

[@ThunderClanFan22]

Thorax is really shy more than fluttershy I watched this before he is very very shy

[@katieeefpe]

No bc fluttershy barely talks to anyone she meets like remember when she met twilight she speaked so quiet and barely talked unlike thorax

[@martinadiaz1145]

Children should not pay for the sins of their parents 😞

[@joshblackwell8632]

The times really are a changeling until Weather, Tirek, Chrysalis, Sombra or some new villian ruins everything like usual. :P

[@yoshifan3077]

well looks like the rumor was true huh the changeling

[@fanfight]

SpikexThorax

[@ldsutton1967]

I ship Thorax X Flurry Heart.

[@wolflover-ns2lx]

you said season 6 episode 17 when it is season 6 episode 16

[@thespeedyyoshi]

It's not a spoiler, it's a hook to make you want to watch the episode.

[@AndrewMeyer]

In this case though it's giving away rather important details about the plot. I'd be like if _Magic Duel_ was titled "Trixie Returns" or _Magical Mystery Cure_ was called "Twilight becomes an Alicorn". Sure it would make me want to watch the episode, but it'd also be blatantly giving away important aspects of the episode's plot.

[@thespeedyyoshi]

I suppose... The thing is that pretty much everyone knew a changling was coming based on the premier so it was more "when are they going to show up" and "what will they do with them" instead of "are they going to show up?"

[@pemanilnoob]

@@AndrewMeyernot in the slightest lmao

[@Beans420]

Hello Kristina! Andrew! David!

[@AndrewMeyer]

Hi... again. ;-P

[@Beans420]

Hi Andrew :)

[@yoshifan3077]

I'm getting a zootopia vibe on this ep just a bit

[@thespeedyyoshi]

Really the only similarity is that both are about prejudice.

[@yoshifan3077]

thespeedyyoshi yeah exactly

[@GamerTv-jp6gy]

it the best.
