Season 5 Episode 15 Discussion (Scare Master)
In the interest of Being Excellent and considerate of those who have yet to watch this episode, all references to the content of this episode are stashed under the cut and will remain so hidden for at least a month. Someponies like to watch MLP:FIM in herds and it can be a while before they get all their ponies together. 8^) As spoilers are also likely to be in any comments: don't read if you haven't yet seen the episode unless you like being spoiled. When you're ready, drop in a comment and say what you thought of this episode!
After a month, I hope Episode Discuss posts will be so far off the top page that it'll probably take the tag to find them, so about a month after posting the cut will be removed. 8^) Sometimes I go back and drop in little extras into the posts, like comics and links to the music.
The broadcast is at 11:30 am EDT, which works out as 4:30 pm UTC, 8:30 am PDT and Yikes! 2:30 AM Down Under. Confused? Look at the PonyCountdown widget on the community page!
This is the episode that got rescheduled and as a result, automation at iTunes resulted in it being leaked weeks before this morning's broadcast. So you can watch it now (link already given below), then watch a stream, then watch it again later!
This really is episode 15 and it was written by Natasha Levinger, which brings her total to four MLP:FIM episodes so far. The other three are Make New Friends But Keep Discord, It Ain't Easy Being Breezies and Pinkie Apple Pie. Twitter here.
For you rare bird "live-tweet" twitterers, Meghan McCarthy is a good possibility, and other twits in the early morning chorus may include the likes of Jayson Thiessen (Supervising Director of MLP:FIM) and Big Jim (storyboard work, voice of Troubleshoes and Director of MLP:FIM). The hashtag to watch is #MLPseason5.
Scare Master, Stare Master. Ergo, Fluttershy. I go sleep now.
Quick notes:
Catch the show and throw in your two bits in the comments! Copy/paste your reviews into the comments, spread the wealth!
Watch Scare Master on DailyMotion here in HD, and as soon as I find a link, on Youtube too (I don't know why it's taking so long).
Download Scare Master in 1080p as a mp4 video here. Yay Ponies has a 1080p mvk for you here. It's colour-corrected and doesn't have the usual watermark, great for screen caps.
Read all the transcripts, including that of Scare Master over here on the MLP wiki of transcripts.
The links to official channels and purchasing DVD's and episodes are now in the community sticky. Germany now has season three, but not as a bluray and it lacks the English track.
