[Blind Commentary] MLP S7E4: Rock Solid Friendship

Blind Commentary of My Little Pony Season 7 Episode 4: Rock Solid Friendship
Version without overlay: • [Blind Commentary] [No...

[@PonyWatchReactions]

Alright, _finally_ releasing this one. We didn't get to record this until last Sunday night, and Andrew didn't have time to edit it until this weekend so it took us a little longer than usual, but we're back on track now. Our reaction to _Fluttershy Leans In_ should be along soon. Regarding the early episode releases in Canada, our current plan is to watch the episodes early so we don't get spoiled on anything, and release our reactions to the episodes after they air in the US. That plan could change in the future, but for now that's what we're doing. Anyway, enjoy our reaction! ;-)

[@AlishaH-ps3yw]

Cool, thanks! :D

[@lareginatonnosaphantomhive1666]

I waited so much for this one honestly i swear. From when the episode comed out and i watched it onestly

[@joshblackwell8632]

PonyWatch Alrighty.

[@funcoolfunfun]

Honestly, I kind of wish you'd guys at least release the Parental Glideance one as soon as it's recorded. But that's more because of my personal eagerness to see reactions to the events of the episode than anything else.

[@clairebrown7878]

PonyWatch yes. I think that plan works best for blind reactors. They can go into the episode and not be spoiled, and they don't have to shut themselves off social media until the US releases. And uploading the reactions when they air in the US, will make them less inclined to be copyright blocked.

Starlight: "You're messing with me..." Maud: "Am I?" Me: "I don't know, it's hard to tell."

[@AspyreN7]

SpacialRend7 Celestia rules all Equestria and she wears a singular stone in her royal yolk

[@booklover4330]

And I love Maud for it. XD.

[@Doomsday-yo7lh]

That was stand-up comedy

[@Damini368]

Fun fact: If you look back at Every Little Thing She does, you can see kites in the background in Starlight's room.

[@joshblackwell8632]

The Rock: CAN YOU SMELL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKING!?!?!? Maud: Yes.

[@SciRei7H3dEG3NeR4T3]

23:38 I loved the fact that when it turned off, you three turned your heads to the second camera. XD

[@AndrewMeyer]

Yep. We've had lots of camera malfunctions over the years, so by this point everyone's pretty well aware that all our viewers will be seeing things through camera 2 until the problem with the main camera is sorted out.

[@pumpkinpartysystem]

(5:36) Rarity has such a cute laugh.

[@IronPiedmont]

Best pony for the win! :D

[@pumpkinpartysystem]

I prefer Fluttershy overall because she's freaking adorbable, but I like all of them.

[@dbv8600]

Great reaction! When Maud Pie was introduced in season 4 ep. 18 Pinkie said she was going to get her Rockterate degree, there are apparently a lot of magic rocks like in Starlight's village and Chrysalis's throne and building materials so she can probably do a lot with that degree.

[@marvelboi3416]

Maud Pie actually made her first non speaking appearance in season 1 when they had the backstory of Pinkie Pie gaining her cutie marks as Rainbow Dash did the Sonic boom thing.

[@booklover4330]

Rarity: What are you doing now? Maud: Talking to you. Why have I never thought of using that before? It's brilliant! I am so happy that Maud moved to Ponyville, I was actually expecting them to make some sort of excuse for her to go to that other place, but nope she's staying in Ponyville! Love it; especially since Maud is one of my favorite characters in the entire series. You know this episode has made me really appreciate Pinkie Pie more, she's really calmed down a lot; which I know is a weird thing to say concerning this episode, but she rarely acts this crazy and random. The only reason she acted this crazy and random was because she wanted her sister Maud to move to Ponyville, so yeah this episode has made me really appreciate how calm she's gotten compared to how she was in season 1 and 2. Great reaction and can't wait for more! XD. Also:"That's a tortoise." Fluttershy would like the accuracy

[@AndrewMeyer]

"Rarity: What are you doing now?" "Maud: Talking to you." That actually sounds like something Cleverbot would say.

[@Narrator007]

1. 3:35 This has been a test of the Emergency Pinkie System. 2. 6:58 Andrew: "Is it just me or does it look really small from the outside?" Just about every building other than the Ponyville hospital looks smaller than it should. 3. 7:28 Andrew: "I think Pinkie's starting to go insane." It's been a long, slow ride downhill ever since Party of One. 4. 12:29 David: "What are you doing, Pinkie?" Showing off her costume for next Nightmare Night. She's going as a pizza Pie. XD 5. 12:55 Starlight: "I feel like... I don't want to talk about feelings." Maybe Twilight was right. Starlight and Ember _would_ get along. 6. 14:07 Kristina: "Gosh, Starlight is good at making friends with... *all* the different peoples." Perhaps old Sunbutt was a little too quick to choose a Princess of Friendship... 7. 16:38 David: "Since when does Pinkie wear PJs?" Since Equestria Girls.

[@sdab4856]

Ba-dum, tshhhh! (For #7)

[@Narrator007]

@@sdab4856 _Thank you_ for specifying which part you were replying to! I wish more people would do that.

[@elana1463]

starlight doesn't so much befriend secondary characters as outsiders

[@Cocoaben]

i remember i kept thinking Trixie would appear and get really jealous. though they did that problem will Discord, Fluttershy and Tree Hugger already

[@carrot708]

You'd think that, seeing as how Trixie used to work on the Pie rock farm, they might know each other. But they never so much as interact on screen unless Starlight's also in the room. Their first interaction in the series is Trixie pulling Maud into a group hug in Uncommon Bond

[@MCNinjaDJ]

I love this episode so much xD It's SO GOOD!!

[@hethrham123]

comedy is the release, the release of emotion and stress. laughing at fear and death. comedy is the defiance of what must be. small jokes about hitting your friends with a rock is not where your joke went wrong, it was not allowing yourself to let go. don't whisper LAUGH AND JOKE

[@shadowx8145]

Issue #51-53 in the comics ties in with season 7 so I believe that's where the plot will be coming​ from

[@AndrewMeyer]

Haven't read those yet. I still have to catch up with the other IDW comics.

[@emanymton713]

I was waiting for this reaction.

[@flutterbat6401]

i really like it is so funny but that 2 people he dont smile or same thing i dont know but another one he is cool i like it i think that 2 people is like maud pie am her sister yaaay but lawer the sound i dont hear in the video maud pie talking or pinkie pie

[@dreambuyer5723]

My money's on The Movie being totally self-contained and having absolutely no effect on the rest of the show. Except maybe we'll be getting some returning staff (hope, hope). This way I'll be surprised when it turns out that it's actually a shot-for-shot remake of the 1986 Transformers movie and Season 8 starts out with the Pony equivalent of Five Faces of Darkness and contains not one but two episodes where Celestia Prime comes back from the dead.

[@binkyboy448]

Hope no longer. Meghan McCarthy and Jayson Thiessen are the confirmed writer and director of the movie. In fact, they (or at least Jayson) left the show _because_ they had to focus on the movie.

[@booklover4330]

I also heard that we won't be getting a lot of songs this season because Daniel wanted to focus on the songs for the pony movie, which makes me excited that there will be songs in the pony movie.

[@dreambuyer5723]

Actually, I meant that I was hoping that the staff the show "lost" to The Movie will return to do some work on season 8. I should have been clearer. :-)

[@laurence4352]

The pizza is aggressive

[@Musicradio77Network]

16:51 is where Pinkie Pie demands butt.

[@DiegoAlanTorres96]

Clopping jokes are dangerous

[@amiyamarshall7148]

Cmon guys we can do better than 38 likes

[@marvelboi3416]

Gastly Gorge was also introduced in season 1 when Rarity was kidnapped by those dog people hunting for gems with Spike. Pinkie Pie has always been an annoying character to me. That's kind of my downfall for the show but other than that it's a pretty awesome show.

[@dbv8600]

When Maud and Starlight said they had met I realized we have never seen Maud's Cutie Mark it is always covered by that dress. I thought maybe Maud is that way because Starlight still had her cutie mark; please comment about your ideas in the next video.

[@ubethegreat9449]

Its looks like maud pie in a sitting position but pinkie pie copy it the same thing
