Based off the synopsis, this seems like a slightly more mature topic?    "Special some pony" doesn't mean he is married yet... right?  It also of course SQUASHES all attempts of Quibble and Dash being a couple.  I think they did that on purpose.  The Mane 6 never get romanced. :(

Hoping it's a good episode.  Sometimes Dash episodes can be kinda... poor.  Fingers crossed. :D

I was wondering why Rainbow Dash was there.

Lol!  Only a real fan, he seems so unsure.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"
Post by: Soda on 2019-05-04 12:38:24
WOW, he has a fiance?

That was a very rude thing to say, Dash.

Quibble you aren't that sporty, lol.

It's cute he wants to try to and do well for his love.

Rainbow Dash is one of the best kid, better listen.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"
Post by: Soda on 2019-05-04 12:41:45
LOL!  Bad timing to say he is sporty.

But she loves him for who he is. 
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"
Post by: Soda on 2019-05-04 12:43:13
Dash, I don't think this is going to work.  It's not even the right approach.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"
Post by: Soda on 2019-05-04 12:43:32
Be yourself and never find love is pretty much Rainbow Dash is trying.

Good job Ponyville team!
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"

This actually is a smart move by Dash possibly.

Not the time, PP....

She is so into him, but the kid doesn't like him at all.

Okay, too far Dash.  He will look horrible.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"
Post by: Soda on 2019-05-04 12:48:43
Dash he is not going to play well!
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"
Post by: Soda on 2019-05-04 12:49:12
This could end very poorly.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"

Come on, do good, Quibble.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"

Nice try, he that isn't right...
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"

dash, your ideas aren't good.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"

Sky still likes you I think.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"
Post by: Soda on 2019-05-04 12:52:38
Just be truthful... even though earlier Rainbow said the opposite.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"
Post by: Soda on 2019-05-04 12:52:51
But oddly enough, Dash just said the smartest thing. 
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"
Post by: Soda on 2019-05-04 12:53:00
Maybe she wasn't the right person to help him.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"
Post by: Soda on 2019-05-04 12:53:23
Sky is so into him.  It's cute. 
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"
Post by: Soda on 2019-05-04 12:53:42
Good idea Quibble. 
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"
Post by: Soda on 2019-05-04 12:54:08
He's totally kinda smart. 
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"

Sky is so awesome. 
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"

Quibble, lol!  Rainbow's response is hilarious.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"
Post by: Soda on 2019-05-04 12:58:01
I love the exchange with Quibble and Sky. 
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"

Lol!  So cute.

Wind is becoming nerdy like Quibble. :D

Sky is lovely, and Quibble is dorky, it's cute!

Post by: Soda on 2019-05-04 12:59:13
I actually liked this episode probably way more than I should have.  It was cute and adorable and I liked the character interactions.  I am giving this a 9/10.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"

Finally saw it. This episode was a cute one. The Oswalt family was fun to listen to.

Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2019-05-05 17:04:08
This was a really great episode!  I loved the whole thing. 9/10!

Who are the Oswalt family?  Is that Quibble's family's name?  I wasn't aware of that.

I loved that scene too when Dash did that!  I can't believe someone uploaded it!


Also this.

That is correct. Patton Oswalt, a known comedian and actor, voiced Quibble Pants. His daughter voiced Wind Sprint and his wife was Clear Sky.

Good episode. I’m pleasantly surprised by it.

Growing up, I saw this subject in movies but never in a cartoon. Telling it from the adults’ perspective was pretty interesting, too.
And I really like Quibble now. He’s not a character I realized I wanted to see again. ‘Love Patton Oswalt’s voice.  :-*

I have to agree.

Great episode. Loved how it covered a type of relationship not too talked about in such shows today, as far as I know.

I loved Wind Sprint's voice. ^^

Post by: Kiwi on 2019-05-10 19:09:28
It was probably one of the more interesting episodes in the show.  Seriously.  It tackled a really interesting subject that some can relate to. Even if not in that situation, people can at least understand.  I give them major kudos to talking about this subject matter because it's more common than you think.  It also showed both sides, though focused more on Quibble's of course.  Overall it was a really enjoyable episode and I really think it deserves some good praise.  9/10.

I did catch up with this episode and I got to saw it was good!  It had great moments that were surrounded by average montages and cliche's.  If they could have hit on all the highs for more time, I would rate this higher.  But because it didn't, it seemed to drag the score down.  I give them credit for handling a rather mature topic too between adult ponies.  Remember, they aren't kids!

8/10
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"
Post by: Rainberry on 2019-05-21 17:14:35
I liked the episode a lot personally.  I want to give it a 9/10. 
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"
Post by: FoxTail on 2019-05-21 17:17:02
I still can't rate it that highly, especially if other episodes like Frenemies also gets a 9 out of 10 from me. 
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"
Post by: Rainberry on 2019-05-21 17:17:35
I agree that our ratings can vary widely from person to person.  It is hard to do.  8 seems to be a good number agreed on many, so about a B score.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"
Post by: FoxTail on 2019-05-21 17:17:49
Though a 7 I also view as good, but then that's just a C... so average.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"
Post by: Rainberry on 2019-05-21 17:18:18
5 is an F... But in theory in our rankings it should be MEH.  Not great, not horrible.  Just there and didn't add anything to the recipe.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"
Post by: FoxTail on 2019-05-21 17:18:45
I feel there would be a lot more rated that if we went by this logic.  But if we did that, people would think every episode failed when they surely don't.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"
Post by: Rainberry on 2019-05-21 17:19:01
It's hard to do for sure.  Everyone's got a bit diff system.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"
Post by: FoxTail on 2019-05-21 17:19:09
Then you got people who don't rank at all.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"
Post by: Rainberry on 2019-05-21 17:19:20
Then we can never get a good number on our score averages. :D
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Common Ground"
Post by: FoxTail on 2019-05-21 17:19:30
We will eventually find out the best season via our averages.

MasterX is doing that I THINK.

I think he was too.  I'm not sure anymore if he is.

I'll ask him.

Yes I am keeping track.  After season 9 I will do the totals for this season.  I have previous seasons done and on a document.  :)  I plan to release it all.
