Season 4 episode discussion (Stream & episode links in first post)

@SeraphimDawn  
This means war!

Truly this is the Duckface Season.
 
Is it just me, or are the voices of the CMC changing? Scootaloo especially. I’ve got to admit, the comparison of being able to control magic being a mark similar to puberty is kind of strange?

@Itsthinking  
Oh shush

@Itsthinking
 
They’re getting older…

I predict all those pictures the fillies tried to take of Twilight through the windows will be a white-washed mess when they realize the light reflecting off the glass turns it all into a big white mess, with maybe vaguely pony-shaped figures on the edges.

@Itsthinking  
Sweetie Belle. What happened to her? And Scoots is still barely able to fly. The only one who is still relatively unchanged was Apple Bloom.

@SeraphimDawn  
I knew Sciencebloom was a thing, I just did. Hopefully this will be part of a conflict with AJ eventually.

@SeraphimDawn  
What is with Sweetie?

@Itsthinking  

 

 
Did…did Spike get taller? Anyone got a comparison?

@Itsthinking  
No, just slightly more annoyed.

“Nachogate” is getting pretty bad.

@Itsthinking  
Que pasa?

@PonyPon  

@PonyPon  
Just a bunch of Spikefans including ne talking about that gag. I don’t get why he threw them away. I don’t know what to think about it.
 
I wish Dave Polsky were on Twitter more, or had an email address like AKR. I don’t believe anyone that isn’t on the show staff.

Well the writing was pretty solid but i didn’t really connect to this episode. I guess that it’s a 3/5 for me.  
One thing that I would like to point though is that || This episode had DT and SS do something other than just bully the CMC||
 
Also anyone else wanted to try and create horseshoe shaped “onion rings” after the diner scene?

Loved this one. :) Twilight pigging out over burgers was adorable.
 
Also, I crave nachos tonight.

@Itsthinking  
Spike threw the nacho away? I don’t remember that happening…

@Grieffon  
You can see it in the last scene, as the CMC walk away in disguise. To be fair, it was literally three times as tall as him.
 
Unrelated, but pretty sure he actually is taller in this episode, skinnier too.

@Itsthinking  
Probably didn’t get to eat because he was too busy making other people nachos, only for them to ditch at the last second.  
Maybe he didn’t eat the nachos because he doesn’t like nachos?

Like most CMC episodes this one was average. 3 out of 5.

@Background Pony  
I would’ve gladly taken them.

@Sono  
Yeah that was amusing. I like to think she got hooked on burgers in the Equestria Girls-verse.
 
Oh, Ponyville and its hilariously inconsistent commercial district. I couldn’t tell if that burger place was meant to homage a Crusty Krab (I recall Polsky being an ex-Spingeboob writer) or maybe a sixties-era (a.k.a. pre-drive-thru) McD’s.

Did it have a name? Wasn’t it called “The HayBurger?”

What was the restaurant called?
