Blind reaction first half:
Bridlewoodstock
-Okay, I’m pretty sure those are parasprites, maybe their diet changed?
-Correct me if I’m wrong but are olden parasprites led by music? Because that confirms they are.
-I wonder what happened to the Troggles, maybe they were freed from Grogar’s tyranny thanks to Gusty
-Yup they looked exactly like how G1’s Troggles are
-They eat foods with their bare hooves? Hope she washer them
-Oh, it’s a Smart Mirror, neat
-And the ears are missing again. At this point it’s deliberate. Either because of the fandom joke or that it really would look weird when looked up close.
-Ruby Jubilee is definitely a solo singer unlike Dreamlands and Electric Blue. And man the latter would’ve worked as a solo pony name. Oh well.
-Okay nice g1-fication. Should I recognise the individuals?
-I do! Minty!!!!
-Oh, the lead is a guy, mmkay
-it’s in her name
-Dreamlands are g1 ponies???
-Double meaning!!
-Primrose? Is that you?
-Oh goddamn it, now to change bongo beats to Dapple. Why can’t they make the voicing and credits clearer?
-Okay yeah they’re still superstitious gonna need a decade to unlearn that.
-yeah I called their name, of course Blue Belle is…. Bluer.
-Goddamnit Sunny, you have to say that line?
-They aren’t dated, but I know after many years they haven’t dated ;)
-Yeah, you would think Sparky would’ve eat those gems by now. What would the other Dragons think? What would Sparky think of them?
-I thought Izzy was immune or resistant to the jinxies. It never affected her no matter what kind.
-They’re rockin that look!
-Now she’s definitely like Pinkie with that reaction
-G4-esque reaction from Pipp
-LOTR reference?
-Oh wait I recognise this plot, I don’t remember the name but it had Spike separating Ember and Thorax assuming they are already enemies which they aren’t.
-I take it back, they look nothing like their g1 selves plus if they’re ghosts, then well, yeah. Although they do seem content.
-So rubies kill Troggle ghosts or at least dispel them? Neat.
-Man now I love Dreamlands, best song!
-Oh hey, the credits changed. Now with Ruby Jubilee

-Sooo… Canterlogic was abandoned. Whatever happened to Phyllis after that?
-Sprout and his “family”? There’s just him and his mom
-I’m very tempted to sing the Ghostbusters theme
-I don’t think everypony will forget the history though.
-I mean the Troggles did, or their ghosts.
-And they used Twilight’s 3d model huh
-I knew it! The Element of Unity!
-Moonlight rocks those helmets, but regardless she’s in a nicer place since the movie
-Sprout?
-Yep, blonde hair and green eyes check out.
-Huh, they still remembered, I guess everyone else is simply tolerating his antics.
-Aw, Misty’s alone :(
-Can Izzy serve as a conduit to spirits? If assuming Elder Flower’s dead?
-Sunny, don’t be like that. Phyllis is…. Not so bad after all?
-Oh um, bye Sprout. Nice knowing your home.
-is that Glowin Up?
-Aayyyy, the not-new-Mane 6. Sorry Sprout, but you were out.
-Nice name, no more fear, no more jeer, just cheers!
-I mean he’s not wrong. But where’s Phyllis?
-Is she referring to TYT where she gave Opaline the smoothie?
The Jinxie Games
-Gotta gain that protein
-She’s right, Spike is not a critter
-Oooh, Tony Fleecs wrote this episode
-Picky eater Cloudpuff
-Did they seriously not lock their doors?
-Oh hey, AlphaHaven is back! Tony you sly dog.
-Gonna be a while before they accept their new stepdad.
-Oooh, well it isn’t gossip when it’s been broadcasted.
-What did happen to their biological dad?
-Spider-Sparky, Spider-Sparky, does whatever a Sparky does.
-I’m pretty sure that a) Sparky has wings. B) he’s already hit himself on the head. Whoops.
-Oh that’s Elder Flower.
-So HitchPipp or Zitch?
Background Pony #5D06
If we’re going with time around each other, I’d say the writers are pushing HitchPipp a bit more.
Background Pony #6FC9
What if Spike appears in G5, and he serves as the Yoda for the Mane Five/Six, teaching Sunny how to fully control her alicorn powers?
Background Pony #78BB
I have just finished watching Chapter 4.
I loved it and filly Celestia and Luna are so cute.
Background Pony #78BB
I am also so glad that it was shown that Twilight just linked magic and the Crystals. She didn’t took it away from other ponies. Now people will stop saying she took away ponies’ magic and made magic disappear or something.

I finally watched all of MLP MYM Chapter 4 and I love it so so much, the special was most enjoyable especially the new pony Ruby Jubilee and the ending song as well.

Friendship, Art, and Magic (2018) - Celebrated Derpibooru's six year anniversary with friends.

Just saw Bridlewoodstock.
I thought it was pretty meh. I’d put it about on the same level as Chapter 1.
Top Remodel:
Somehow, this 22-minute episode had more going on than Bridlewoodstock. It gave everyone something to do, and was absolutely dripping with continuity. We finally get an episode that puts Hitch and Pipp together, and Sunny even gets a bit of growth.
The Jinxie Games:
So is it just going to be a trend that the third episode of every even-numbered chapter is a great Zipp and Pipp episode? Because this one was really good. It’s really funny, and the conversation between Queen Haven and her daughters felt like an adult talking to her grown-up children.
Sunny Side Up:
It’s been a long time since something MLP-related has genuinely made me go “oh shit!” out loud. This one was great too. Opaline is actually, full-on gaslighting Misty. She destroyed those boulders with a really satisfying impact. I also love Hitch and Sunny’s friendship.
The Manesquarade Ball:
This one was really fun. It’s so nice to see Zipp and Misty start to form a friendship.
A Little Horse:
Quite liked this one. I was worried that it would be boring, but I wasn’t bored at all.
Missed the Mark:
That was so good. G5 has been relatively low-fantasy for the most part. By keeping adventure episodes scarce, they carry a lot more impact. The fight between Sunny and Opaline felt really intense. Just like IDW 10, no Deus Ex Machina auto-win lasers. They had to actually come up with a clever plan. Misty finally switching sides felt SO satisfying. If this was G4, they would have made us wait five years for it.
Overall:
Bridlewoodstock was not very good at all. But from Episode 2 onwards, I’m declaring that Chapter 4 is the point where G5 officially “grew the beard”.
Background Pony #4D38
So what is Skyros (If I wrote it right)? The place where the alicorns live? You know, the place where Opaline is from.
Background Pony #4D38
So glad that the whole ‘get Sparky thing’ is finally over. So the dragons are starting to wake up? Is it like Game of Thrones? Without magic they are not around.
Background Pony #E7BC
I can get behind AlphaHaven. They’re cute together, and Alphabittle seems really understanding about Haven.

Blind reaction second half
Sunny Side Up
-Yup, she’s gonna steal them. Took a page from the playbook.
-What the hell is Skyros?
-Hey omg, it’s Tia and Woona!
-So she is an alicorn. Born as one. I’m guessing she was concealing her wings when she was sowing discord (not that guy) among the pony brethren?
-That’s… What I expected from Opaline
-Oh my, she literally can’t move.
-Did she just. Use magic???
-She’s going out… Just like that?
-I liked Hitch’s blabbering
-Cooking show turned comedy. Also childhood friends.
-What’s Dragonstone, doing in the pony lands?
-Cracked screen, gonna need that warranty now.
-too specific
-Only Misty’s listened to the heartfelt message. But not the other ponies.
-That’s a powerful slicing beam. If that’s only a small percentage too.
-Yup, Opaline spread those rumours. We knew.
-She’s got acrobatics
-The ponies are us, we love the ridiculousness in MLP
The Manesquerade Ball
-Make the right choice, Misty, you got to.
-Indeed, it’s been months.
-Wow…. And my goodness, it’s her signature mask!
-Pipp recolor
-Yeah, they know it, we know it
-Cat’s out of the bag
-not quite but still, now they know
-DJ Rocky in the house!!!!
-Slaying it indeed! My second favourite song of chapter 4
-Alpha spots an outsider
-Happiest day
A Little Horse
-You okay Pipp?
-rude
-She sounds different
-Calm down Petals
-our little pony
-Zipp is a nerd, I love her more now.
-Baby Petals!
-soup’s on everypony!
-like the Nicholasname
-No phonies, you said it yourself Pipp
-So casual
-Did that happen? The play
-Ooh Kenneth got sass
-Izzy and her names.
-I’m pretty sure she already sounds like Izzy anyway
-Oh hey, Misty’s here
-Oop
-The latter, she knows Celly and Luna
-Even Sunny feels this way lol XD
-That’s nice Misty :)
-Loved honey chamomile
-Eccentric
-Oh yeah! Where it go!!!!
-But why Misty?
-Hey don’t steal Trixie’s line!
-Pitch
-Aww, it’s over? Wanted to hear Electric Blue’s song
Missing the Mark
-It’s her signature hood!
-Hitch keeps animals in closets and drawers? Irresponsible.
-But wait, how did Misty steal Sparky? And yeah, I didn’t believe it till Hitch confirmed he’s missing.
-whatcha dooooin?
-Continuity!
-And now she’s happy
-Oh shit, he’s graying out!
-I think now you need operation glitterbomb
-Well that was fast. The plot thins.
-well that was really fast. It was that near
-Too fast! Plot’s going too fast.
-Their reactions are what I expected. Shame on you. Misty.
-will she really?
-Opaline set a magic filter on this entire castle?
-don’t Opaline
-Ooooh the sting is real
-A real Crusader!
-the magic branch can break Opaline’s magic huh?
-Make it Shadowy Alicorn
-This would look more epic in 2d. But neat heat beams
-I take it back. It’s on now!
-Wait, that’s it? She’s still out there and now finding other dragons? The plot thickens. To be continued….

@Background Pony #E7BC
Another isolated nation that thank god they aren’t revealing themselves like the Knights did. But huh, even Twilight didn’t know, and probably for the best. Although the alicorns sans Opaline could be nice? Also, regarding this reveal, it’s safe to say that Opaline wasn’t a unicorn. Gotta change that TVTropes page now.
Background Pony #E7BC
I still think MYM has a bit of a pacing problem, especially when it comes to delivering the Aesop of the episode. Still, Part 4 is really good imo.
Background Pony #4D38
@Background Pony #4D38
You answered your own question.
What I meant was what kind of city is it? Does it still exist? Is it up in the sky? Are there other alicorns still living there?
Background Pony #6FC9
I’m watching Bridlewoodstock.
Zipp is so socially awkward, it’s adorable.
