• We ♥ Ponies - My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic Fan Favorites Mare-athon


    On the 11th of February, The Hub will be airing a five hour Mare-athon leading up to their new "Hearts and Hooves" Valentines day episode.  It's really awesome to see our favorite ponies getting dedicated holiday stuff!

    They need our support for the final Hubworld poll taking place on January 24, and asked EQD to gather the collective community to decide on it.  Right now,  FiM has a massive number of episodes, and The Hub has asked us to help get that down to 20!

    The deadline for our personal poll is Monday at midnight ET (9:00 PM Blog Time), so we have the weekend to decide which episodes we want to see included.

    After the break, I will include a list of all of them as a refresher (plus some alternate pre-air names, because those are awesome).

    Hit the poll up on the side bar! 

    (Note: This post is stickied! New stuff will pop up below it!)

      Someone's trying to troll us by spam voting the "most hated" episode. Mare do well didn't get a sudden surge in popularity. Pretty much the opposite.

      ReplyDelete
    2. Yes, please reboot the poll (I know that will be extra-hard since Seth is at Bronycon). MMDW is by far the worst episode of MLP:FiM by acclaim. And we need multiple voting so people don't have to try to pick their most middling episode to hope to get the ones they want.

      ReplyDelete
    3. @Orange Peel

      Why re-booting the poll? MMDW is just one of the 20 episodes the Hub will be picking from here.

      Besides, it's hilarious. Seeing the trolls trying their best is just laugh out loud funny.

      ReplyDelete
    4. Guys! 4chan trolls are trying to ruin this poll. They're telling everybody to vote for the worst episode, which according to most bronies is "The Mysterious Mare Do-Well". Everybody use proxies and vote multiple times for your favorite episode, and tell the bronies at ponychan to vote, too! Here's the picture the trolls are spreading: http://tinypic.com/r/2r2vu4k/5

      ReplyDelete
    5. Would have voted for the Return of Harmony, but I would have had to vote for only one of the two parts. :P So I went with my OTHER all-time favorite, The Cutie Mark Chronicles.

    6. @Anon

      Trying is the correct verb dude.

      No need to call upon PonyChan, this "battle" of these "trolls" is lost before it started.

      ReplyDelete
    7. Yes, 4chan is intentionally putting up MMDW. But who cares? Seriously, it's not THAT bad of an episode. It was sub-par for sure, but then again, its the first writer to join the show post-season 1, so she didn't have as much experience and knowledge of what to do, let alone Fausts' advice.

      Nobodies actually going to watch all the episodes, lets face it. Who cares? Why would we let something this minor piss us off? Just let it be and vote for the one we like the best :P

      ReplyDelete
    8. MMDW gets so many votes because /b/ is on a "raid" again.

      By all the episodes, of course, I mean in this 5 hour marathon*
      And even if you did, one episode missed isn't much.

      ReplyDelete
    10. I just wanted to thank 4chan for all the votes for Mare-do-well, a great episode and one of my favourite super hero parodies.

      ReplyDelete
    11. Oh 4chan. Just because it's the least amazing episode of season 2 doesn't mean it's not a great episode regardless. Such a laughable group of sillies.

      ReplyDelete
    12. Just looking out for my fellow bronies. I don't watch the Hub either and I probably won't watch the marathon, but I also don't want the Hub to get the wrong idea of what kind of shows we want.

      ReplyDelete
    13. I really wish I could have a webcam connected to the guy's computer, the one who caused the raid. I want to imagine him like The Grinch, looking upon EqD, as his master plan falls to pieces.

      NOBODY EXPECTS THE LOVE AND TOLERANCE!

      ReplyDelete
    14. The Mysterious Mare Do Well is winning by a landslide? I don't want to live on this planet anymore. Oh well, at least CR agrees with me that it is by far THE WORST episode ever.

      ReplyDelete
    15. All this love and tolerance, it warms my shriveled 4chan heart. I guess there was no reason to panic after all. :)

      ReplyDelete
    16. It bothers me more that dragonshy loses badly against these fancy new season 2 episodes.

      MMDW will be taken out of the poll anyway. These script kids from /b/ couldn't pull a clandestine raid when their life depended on it.

      ReplyDelete
    17. So 4chan is raiding for MMDW. Not a big deal, though.

      Also, I didn't particulary disliked that episode. Although perhaps I'm being a bit parcial since Darkwing Duck was one of my favourite childhood cartoons :D

      ReplyDelete
    18. @Stabi Nope, just trolls,

    19. Here's the thread, get in here before it 404's

      ReplyDelete
    20. Looks like there is only one guy left to keep this thread alive. Let it die. Don't post, don't bring it back to page 0.

      ReplyDelete
    21. Pah, the trolls are funny. MLP hasn't had a worst episode yet. Mare Do Well is a 6/10. Though the characterisation isn't great, the artwork and background music is some of the best the show has had. Not to mention the Batman overtones. And if they think "This is what we want", they aren't going to say "more exageratted characterisations", they going to say "More Super-Hero parodies". And that is also, Super Mare? Bring it on!

      So MMDW my not be the most liked episode of the community, but its far from stuff like Family Guy's All Dogs go to Heaven.

      I think a reboot of Multi-Choice should happen though, because if they are going to pick the top 20, only getting to chose one sucks. You'll get a better range if you can pick as many episodes as you like. Plus, Family Appreciation Day is going to air soon, and that might turn into everyones new favourite, so you might as well reboot it anywhere for those that are going to want to change there vote. I'm sure everyone else on here won't mind voting again, and being able to vote for multiple episodes (even all of them if you so desire) won't be a bad thing.

      ReplyDelete
    22. @Anon

      No need to at all sir :)

      This fandom is still different. We are not better than anyone, obviously. But we handle this kind of raids much better than other fandoms do.

      ReplyDelete
    23. I think it's great having mdw in lead whether it's trolls or not. Maybe people may now rewatch it without crazy expectations and realize it's not that bad episode after all.

      ReplyDelete
    24. I'm sorry, but how is Mare Do Well in first place on the poll? I thought nearly everypony agreed it was the least liked episode of Season 2.

      ReplyDelete
    25. Of course I had to choose my own episode, sorry...

      @HMorris73 I for one have personal pictures of their characters.

    26. @Mr. Unsmiley

      4chan has jumped the bucket and decided the best way to troll us is to make us... Watch ponies.

      ReplyDelete
    27. @Mr. Unsmiley

      A wannabe troll (or a closet brony, it's unconfirmed) posted on 4chan and asked all the guys on /b/ to vote it, basing his argument that having the worst episode of the show on the top would annoy us and increase our butthurt levels.

      Wishful thinking.

      ReplyDelete
    28. I actually see it as a win/win situation, those like me that really loved Mare do Well (I though it was very well done, and it brought down a character I believed needed to be brought down) are happy, and those that don't like it?

      Well, they'll have to watch it again, then. Maybe they'll realize it's not that bad, instead of blurting out how bad it is.

      ReplyDelete
    29. Wait, someone's trying to rig Mare Do Well as the best episode? That sounds pretty likely as only one person has said in the comments that they like that episode the best.

      The question is, what is EqD going to do?

      ReplyDelete
    30. @Zoot101

      EqD will probably do nothing about it, because it's like pouring a glass of water in the ocean. It's rather cute to see how 4chan thinks this is hurting us, even in the /b/ thread now they are going on their fantasy land where we are all butthurt and hating each other.

      We are making an example if anything else.

      ReplyDelete
    31. @Zoot101

      There is no need to do anything.

      ReplyDelete
    32. Eh so what if Mare-Do-Well is getting the most votes, it'll be only one episode in a five hour marathon

      ReplyDelete
    33. I can't choose! I can't choose! Wait a minute...

    35. i can see the oncoming shitsorm of some because their favorite lesbo shipping won't be canon.

      I hope i'm wrong, though. I hope it's just like Luna Eclipsed.

      ReplyDelete
    36. Party of One = My favorite episode so far. And btw, I don't think there ever was a bad episode, I love them all. Even my least favorite episode "Over a Barrel" is great in my opinion. Anyway, sadly I can't watch the mare-athon, cause I don't live in the US. :(

      ReplyDelete
    37. Y U NO LET ME PICK MOAR THAN 1! XD
      Seriously I love just about ever episode, narrowing it down to 5 was painful. In the end I just picked a random one out of that 5.

      ReplyDelete
    38. @leictreon

      Are you reffering to the "Read it and Weep" episode?

      ReplyDelete
    39. I chose Winter Wrap Up since it's a nice episode to just watch. Great song, and just fun.

      Also, about the Mare Do Well trolling, it's not a TERRIBLE episode, but it's not one my of my favorites. I'd watch it again anyways if it's on... My least favorite episode is still the sleep over episode.

      ReplyDelete
    40. Winter Wrap Up and Sisterhooves Social are my favorite. Because of Sweetie Scoot.

      ReplyDelete
    41. A bunch of idiots are trying to troll us by voting for Mare Do Well.
      Just ignore them. They think we care.

      ReplyDelete
    42. I like every episode
      i just want to do a 5 hour sitting

      ReplyDelete
    43. Did 4chan forget how to actually troll or something? No one cares that 1/20 episodes will only be half-decent. Good luck next time though.

      ReplyDelete
    44. I don't really care if they vote for MMDW. It's not the worst episode of season 2 in my books, and it is far from the worst episode of the entire show. I don't really have a "worst" episode overall, but for me, "The Cutie Pox" is the 'least-best' episode of season 2 so far.

      I voted for "Sonic Rainboom", even though I don't have Hub. Well, why not?
      It deserves to be put up for the final vote.

      I find it hilarious that the trolls have also increased EqD's pageview count. Thanks for your help, guys!

      ReplyDelete
    45. Dragonshy is still the best BY FAR....

      The funniest are ties between Lesson Zero/ Applebucking Season / Party of One

      Those had the best jokes by far.

      ReplyDelete
    46. A valentine's special episode, i cant wait for the synopsis of the episode XD. And i vote for my favorite Pinkie Pie episode, Party of One. Where she was stealthy and depressed :D

    47. @James Corck

      People take 4chan seriously?

      That's like taking 'Something Awful' seriously LMFAO

      I visit both...but hell if you are even a member of either you should know nothing is serious...its funny that some people who visit those sites think 'THEY ARE SRS BISNIZ', tho ;p

      ReplyDelete
    48. Mare Do Well is winning? Eh, pony is pony! Can't wait for this marathon + new episode *Squee*

      ReplyDelete
    49. Mare Do Well was pretty bad, but I still don't understand how this counts as trolling.

      ReplyDelete
    50. Oh, no. Return of Harmony part 2 was my favorite

      ReplyDelete
    51. It's only in the lead due to trolls.

    52. @El_Darax

      Apparently.

      I'm having a big laugh at these guys however. They are so cute I feel I can soak them in a glass of milk and eat them like cookies.

      ReplyDelete
    53. Lol. Now 4chan haven't we learned that bronies don't really hate any episode nor do we really overreact all that much to your trolling. The episode may not be our favorite but hey i don't think any real brony would say they hate any episode. besides i don't find MMDW to be a bad episode at all. as a comic book fan i had plenty of fun trying to figure out what was referenced .so far the only references that come to mind are spiderman and batman .So calm down you guys as mentioned its one episode out of 10 that will be in the marathon no big deal. really you will still have 4 and a 1/2 hours of episodes you really want to watch and besides you cant always get what you want. So learn to live with the chaos of day to day life or go mad fighting it. Well that's my 2 bits worth. hope you all have a good day. ^ ^

      ReplyDelete
    54. That's an incredibly pathetic trolling campaign. As if having one episode that wasn't so great is going to ruin a mareathon. Pony is pony~

      ReplyDelete
    55. i liked secret of my excess... it needs more votes!

      ReplyDelete
    56. @James Corck It's funny because a significant part for the MLP fan community also frequent 4chan.

      Anywho, you're exactly the kind of person who makes people hate MLP fans instead of just not liking the show. Extreme arrogance mixed with a slight bit of ignorance.

      ReplyDelete
    57. I'm also surprised to see Mare Do Well, given that it seems like it is one of the least favorite episodes. I don't hate on it nearly as much as on many here, but I do agree that it is a weaker episode when stacked up against the bulk of the show.

      ReplyDelete
    58. @Kittilot Yeah, I loved that one too. Discord is best character.

      @James Corck See, that's exactly what I mean.

      ReplyDelete
    59. Oh man.
      /b/ trolls are voting an episode we don't much care for.
      If this is their idea of good trolling, I am very disappoint.

    61. Ooh, Valentines Day episode? There will be love.

      And it won't be lesbian love. Whether you like it or not, there's only one sexual orientation out there that's actually procreative.

    75. Even though there are some that are more popular than others. I love how varied our opinions are on each episode. In my opinion, I love them all! This was a tough decision!

    77. Is there a way that we could be enabled to vote for more than one in the poll? Given that the mare-athon is going to be 20 episodes it would be nice if we could vote fo at least our top 5, if not all 20.

      ReplyDelete
    78. @Fissionprime

      I checked my blog to see the poll options, and I don't see any choice to enable them for multiple choices.

    83. I'd just like to say I am extremely proud of this fandom. Other groups would get incredibly pissed if trolls tried even the tiniest little thing.

    84. Lesson Zero was BEST episode... well one of the greatest, most amazing episodes, to be exact. Other than that, DISCORD MUST APPEAR! ._.

      ReplyDelete
    85. Wow.

      That poll has "Lesson Zero" at less than 100 votes away from beating "Mysterious Mare Do Well" as number 1.

      Seth is going to be happy, that's his favorite episode.

      ReplyDelete
    86. Bridle Gossip encompasses basically all the things that had me falling in love with the show. So, that'll be my vote!

      ReplyDelete
    87. Aw, c'mon, why do you not like Cutie Pox! It was hilarious, had all the Mane cast at some of their best, and that one scene where Spike turns into the Fonz!

    89. Stay calm and keep trotting bronies.

      The poll is giving us 20 awesome episodes regardless. As far as I'm concerned, nothing happened here.

    90. @James Corck

      Hmm I think I remember a poll about a month ago that you could pick multiple option, I think it was something like "what kind of brony are you." I just feel like it would kind of be a shame if the last few episodes decided were only a few votes apart.

      ReplyDelete
    91. @Fissionprime

      Ooooh, I was actually thinking on that same poll! It was only a 1 option poll. I wanted to pick many choices, but it didn't allow me to.

      We should be using one of those other poll sites for this. Pick 5 episodes and vote for those. Google is still a bit limited polls wise, but that's not a problem. If you check those numbers, we are giving 20 awesome episodes right there.

    92. A Valentine's Day episode...

      I'm waiting for the scene in which Lyra is shown with a handsome colt for her date. Of course her platonic best friend Bon-Bon would also have somepony.

    95. I'm surprised about the amount of votes The Mysterious Mare Do Well has recieved so far. considering the mixed reaction it recieved since airing.

      ReplyDelete
    96. Luna Eclipsed for me.

      The MMDW is invalid considering the raid and what not and for one thing I don't understand the logic. They're picking an episode they, "Think" everyone hates.

      Problem is, there hasn't been an episode like that yet. No on in the fandom has pointed to an episode and said the infamous words, "The show jumped the shark at episode..."

      None of the episodes can be used as troll ammo, fail trolls are fail.

      TL:DR: "Are they still going to have a MLP:FIM marathon even though the poll got raided?"

      Yes

      "Yay!"

      ReplyDelete
    97. might wanna consider resetting this poll due to the trolls spamming the MMDW votes not that i dont like the episode its just not that great

      ReplyDelete
    98. hahaha i just saw that picture that someone made saying come here and vote for "the mysterious mare do well"

      lmao how pathetic. i can't believe someone would take time out of their day to make something like that JUST to tell people to vote for an episode most of us disliked.

      ReplyDelete
    99. I voted for Sonic Rainbow, but I would have loved to have gotten a chance to vote for a few more. That episode is epic, but there are a few others that are also epic, which makes it hard to choose just one. :(

      @Sothalic

      "Maybe they'll realize it's not that bad, instead of blurting out how bad it is."

      Or quit assuming that somehow "nearly everypony agrees" that it's THE WORST POSSIBL- I mean, worst MLP episode (where was I when this "consensus" was made? :P ). I personally liked it, but then again, I like a lot of the episodes in general.

      Only one I'm hesitant to watch again is "Feeling Pinkie Keen", but that's due to having read all the hubbub before seeing the episode about it having religious undertones even though Faust herself said that wasn't the message of the episode. When I did get around to seeing it, I couldn't help but see the supposed undertones which sorta ruined it for me (though for different reasons than what most people were complaining about). And this is coming from a Christian/Mormon.

      Though admittedly, I think it was also the way the episode was written and not just the fan interpretation that was the main problem and I wish the real aesop had been made more clear by the writer as to not be misinterpreted.

    100. 1 out of the 20 choices will tainted

      5% of the poll will be an inaccurate portrayal of the brony fandom's opinion

    105. Fluttershy is best pony. So how is Dragonshy at a measly 2%?

    106. As long as Dragonshy gets under the first 20 it´s not important how much % it got.

      I voted for Lesson Zero, either that or Luna eclipsed though the Discord two episodes were awesome too.
      Actually i would love to vote for five episodes, but well...

      ReplyDelete
    107. Oh trolls. You never cease to amuse me with your idiocy.

      Actually it doesn't bother me because I really liked Mare-Do-Well... a lot more in some ways than some of the fan favorites like Luna Eclipse. Weirdly enough, Feeling Pinkie Keen was one of my favorite episodes of Season 1, so I guess I'm just crazy.

      ReplyDelete
    108. Still want it to be multi-choice. I also want to vote for Family Appreciation Day now.

      Also, to all the 4Chan raiders. Thanks for the hits, we shall be at 10 million soon with your help.

    109. Pick 10? No problem.
      Pick 5? Tough, but doable.
      But I can't pick just one.

      I'll vote tactically and pick "Dragonshy" for the old-school D&D quest feel. But I love Rarity's whining in "A Dog and Pony Show". "Bridle Gossip"'s Flutterguy. AUGH CAN'T PICK.

    113. Current things in those rankings that bother me are Applebuck Season and Boast Busters left off the list and Suited for Success barely on the list.

      MDW might well be my least favorite episode, but it's not really a good vehicle for trolling because it's not some offensively bad jump the shark moment, just kind of a generic kids' show episode from a new writer getting a feel for the characters (I hope).

      ReplyDelete
    114. I chose the Sonic Rainboom episode. We need that in the lineup guys, whats more daw inducing than our favorite ponies as fillies. Plus it shows interconnected they are, even before they knew it. I have soo many others I would choose over this episode, but really. This one is my favorite for its message and fillies. The adorable little fillies n.n There are all kinds of different messages portrayed by the events of the episode, all leading to one thing, their friendship. We need Rainboom in that list!

    120. I vote that EQD tells Hubworld to definitly not put Mysterious Mare Do Well on, since everyone hates it, and the only reason that it has the most votes is that the scum at 4chan has a mass campaign to troll us by voting the most hated episode.

    128. I wonder if 4chan's trolls are simply trying to make us watch an episode of FiM they think that we dislike, or if their intention is to make us argue over whether we like MMDW or not?
      If MMDW is left in the HUB's polls, then the people who disliked that episode might be annoyed, but if it's removed then the people who liked that episode might be annoyed.

    130. If the worst they can do is try to make us watch Mare-do-Well then that is just sad. Heck, I even like that episode, it's not the best, but I thought it was fun. This may be the lamest attempt at trolling I've ever seen.

      ReplyDelete
    131. Guys, I can compare trolls voting for "Mare Do Well" to the story of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." They may get their way with vote spamming the worst episode, but in the end, we're still watching pony. The only victim is the writer of the episode, honestly. It kinda sucks to have such a false sense of success.

      ReplyDelete
    132. Why's Owls Well That Ends Well in last? Even though the episode wasn't that great, when Spike destroyed that fake mouse with his magician hat and the ketchup was the hardest I've laughed so far this series.

      ReplyDelete
    133. Honestly who cares if trolls are spamming The Mysterious Mare Do Well votes.
      And so it's not the best episode. It's still ponies. And only ONE episode out of 20.

      And this fighting over it is what they want.

      ReplyDelete
    134. Wow.... that is quite possibly the most hilariously bad attempt at trolling I've ever seen. "Ha ha! We'll make them watch an episode of ponies they kind of dislike! It's the perfect plan!"

      Yep, you got us! I guess the whole brony thing is done now because of your genius plot of making us watch ponies. Bravo! /Sarcasm.

    135. @amkirby10

      That's why we need to be able to select multiple episodes. I enjoyed that episode. How does "Look Before You Sleep" get more votes? That's my least favorite episode of the series for me. :P

    136. @Blue fox

      To be honest, I don't see much fighting over it.

      A lot of bronies and pegasister came out and said they enjoyed the episode (I really like it too). Don't worry anyways. It's one episode out of 20 in a marathon not all the voters will be watching (I'm in Spain, we don't have the HUB here).

      Stay calm and Keep trotting. Things will be fine, the EqD crew said so in an email.

      Notable changes: Luna Eclipsed has passed Mare Do Well, and is now #2.
      Also, Family Appreciation Day made it into the top-20, pushing Bridle Gossip out.
      (Last time, the separator line was accidentally at 19, not 20. Sorry 'bout that)
      Return of Harmony 1 has moved up three steps, and can be considered safe now.
      Beside that, a few close ones switched places, most is unchanged.


      Regarding trolls: Yeah, you beat us. Ok, we still get to pick the other 19, and actually Mare-do-well wasn't that bad at all, so I can live with the episode being top-20, but really, you beat us.

      ReplyDelete
    139. I think voting Mare Do Well up is fairly creative trolling, to be honest. I absolutely despise the episode, but seeing how I don't live in the US the outcome of this contest has little to no effect on me.

      ReplyDelete
    140. Applebuck Season desvered more votes.

      ReplyDelete
    141. I voted Sweet and Elite. Hands down. It gave me the biggest grin by the end of the episode and felt thoroughly entertaining and adorable.

      ReplyDelete
    142. Kinda wish the poll could be a ranked preference vote(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preferential_voting), since that leads to results that the most people can agree on.

      Anyway, this was easy for me: The Best Night Ever. Of all the episodes, this is the one that I can keep as an mp3 on my ipod and just listen to over and over. The writing was great, all the main characters got to play equal roles, we had a great song, and both the comedy and the pathos were firing on all cylinders. I'm kind of shocked by how little love it's getting.

      ReplyDelete
    143. Looks like everything over 3% is pretty safe. Even some 2% are among the Top 20.
      This gonna be a great day to watch them all, even MDW, it wasn´t great, but it wasn´t horrible either in my book.^^

      Also that writer did much better with her other episode, so it´s okay. :3

      ReplyDelete
    144. I voted for Lesson Zero because it's my favorite episode.

      Honestly it's really dumb how the trolls think they're "ruining" this poll by voting for The Mysterious Mare Do Well.It was a pretty decent episode,I thought it was pretty funny.Not my favorite but it was good.Either way we're still getting our pony marathon,and we get to watch lots of FIM episode in one day,so way even try to rig it?It makes no sense because we win either way.

      ReplyDelete
    145. The Mysterious Mare Do Well was a weak episode, but bad? Well, except that pony baby *shivers*. There's clearly a reason you don't see more pony babies: moms keep them locked up inside because they're creepy.

      That's a pretty good Top 20.

      We have a Two parter complete.
      Episodes regarded by many fans as the best of the series (Sonic Rainboom, Cutie Mark Chronicles, Lesson Zero).
      Yes, we have Mare Do Well there, but many bronies and pegasisters seem to enjoy it.

      I call it a good Top 20.

      "Butthurt person" is far too complementary. "Laughably Lame Troll" matches better. Really, it's the most hilariously bad attempt at trolling I've ever seen. Especially since MMDW is probably in my top ten episodes anyway.

      ReplyDelete
    151. You know, some of the episodes that get low votes like Winter Wrap Up, are probably some of the highest quoted, remixed, and drawn. Funny how that works~

    153. Some of my favorites look like they won't need my vote, like Lesson Zero and Party of One, so I'm putting my vote in the one that I liked that might have trouble making the list.

      Return of Harmony, part 2

      I'd have chosen both parts, but it was one or the other. Discord needs some love...I mean chaos.

      ReplyDelete
    154. If it's a Valentine's Mare-athon... We need all the Spike/Rarity episodes. Especially Secret of My Excess. If I was voting for my favorite overall, it would have to be Lesson Zero. But given the occasion, I have changed my vote.

      ReplyDelete
    155. @Nyxilis
      I wouldn't say Winter Wrap Up has a low amount of votes, it's in sixth place after all (fifth if you don't count Mare Do Well).

      ReplyDelete
    156. Regarding the MMDW trolling, I suspect EqD isn't bound to honor the vote. It could be dropped in favor of Bridle Gossip.

      But my feeling is that as long as we aren't misdirecting the HUB by calling it the top episode, it's not a problem. Like it or hate it, there's no doubt the HUB is going to show it from time to time.

      And it's a hard list to argue with in general. There are enough differences in taste that I'm surprised by some of the top 20 choices. But 9 of my top 10 choices made it. I expect most of us are in a similar position.

      @Nyxilis
      Don't forget a lot of us are voting tactically here. Once an epsiode gets 4%, it's completely safe. Winter Wrap-Up may be my favorite, but I thought it more useful to protect another of my top 5 choices, The Best Night Ever. (I'm a sucker for big pony musical numbers; sue me.)

    157. Poor Owloysius has only 0.002% of the vote. Bring him up!

      Why does no one like Over a Barrel? Braeburn has got to be the best male character in the show (next to Big Macintosh of course).

    158. Is the upper picture from the coming Valentine's episode?

    159. There's been an image floating around encouraging parasprites to vote for MMDW. Does this disqualify it from the running?

      Ponibooru's down, but here's the link for when it's up again.

    160. It isn't the most popular (anymore at least), but I'm surprised it has gotten this many votes.

      While it wasn't a bad episode, I felt it was sort of like Feeling Pinkie Keen. Funny, but not really in the spirit of the rest of the show.
      It basically threw believability out the window for the sake of comedy. Good for laughs, but without any emotional impact whatsoever.

      I decided to vote for "Secret of My Excess", because it is severely underrated IMO. As for my actual episode, I'm torn between "Party of One", "Lesson Zero" and "Secret of My Excess". They are just all utterly brilliant.

    161. Double Standard much...?

      When we raid a poll its all in good fun, but when 4chan raids one of our polls, we need a redo?

    162. Question which doesn't matter:

      If you wanted to destroy the democratic process and ban three episodes from being picked and reserve three of your favourites instead which ones would it be guys?

      I would destroy the votes for: Pinkie Keen, May the Best Pet Win and The Mysterious Mare Do Well in my case.

      I'd prefer to have Sonic Rainboom, Owl's Well that End's Well (lol, unpopular choice) and Sweet and Elite if I got the choice to reserve three places.

      Weird question just want to know top threes/bottom threes. -shrugs-

    163. My choices are already taken care of, but if I could MAKE space I'd save room for "Sisterhooves Social," "May the Best Pet Win," "Secret of My Excess," "Party of One," and...I'll say "Sonic Rainboom" (can't cover the essentials with only 3 slots, or even 5!).

      The ones I'd keep off are easy: "Boast Busters," "Owl's Well That Ends Well," and "The Mysterious Mare Do Well." Shame about that last one, but at least the rest of the list is solid. Can't believe some of the episodes that are at the bottom, but I guess it's a matter of picking what's MORE good...

      Yeah... I don't think anypony's getting too upset over this, and I have a sneaking suspicion that the ones that are making a fuss are trolls trying to feed themselves. Which is really sad once you think of it, like they're so starved they've resorted to eating their own legs. I personally don't think it should be removed from the poll. As somepony said before if Hasbro thinks we like it they'll think we like superhero spoofs, not the exaggerated characters.

      TLDR:
      Nopony is really all that butthurt.

    165. This was a hell of a contest with a lot of votes put into the system. Hell, currently half of the episodes that have 1% of the vote will make the cut. Of course, as long as they make the cut, they'll be starting on a "clean slate" for the next vote that narrows them down to ten, although I doubt that'll be held here. It will more likely be held on The Hub's official page.

      A few episodes swapping places, nothing seriously happening. Luna Eclipsed is now 20% more cool than Mare-Do-Well (SCNR), which clearly shows that the trolls couldn't keep it up.

      There's some movement in the 16-20 range: Suited for Success, Return of Harmony 1 and Family Appreciation Day do a notable jump up, pushing Best Night Ever two places down. However, in % of total, the others didn't fall. Instead, the gap between 20 and 21 raised from 8% to 19% in size. I smell tactical voting!


      Hopefully, The Hub protects their vote system as good as Blogger.com does. They're tracking browsers even without cookies, just by other characteristic properties, making multiple votes quite difficult. I feel seriously tracked down!

    168. I'm so glad to see some of my favourites in the top rankings! I voted for "May The Best Pet Win" because ever since that episode came out, I haven't been able to get that song out of my head (Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash obviously had no influence ;) )
      But I'm also surprized that "A Bird in the Hoof" ranks so low! I thought that episode was great. But to each their own :)
      Also, with "Family Appriciation Day", I find it surprizing with how many votes it has! I wasn't really keen on that episode, but it seems I might be the only one.

      I wasn't feeling most of it, but Granny Smith's story definitely bumped it up a notch or two for me. Still wasn't a fav though.

      As for me, the Return of Harmony episodes were my favorites. I voted for part 1 since it was ranked lower.

    170. I can't believe only 59 other Bronies picked Owls well that ends well?!?!? It had so much depth and growth. Owl well, I never have been one to follow the herd.

    171. I for one loved Myrserious Mare Do Well. The only reason it gets hate is because 1) fanboys got butthurt about MDW's secret identity not being their favorite side character, 2) they got butthurt because they hated Feeling Pinkie Keen (which is also a very underrated episode that gets a stupid amount of hate), and the episode reminded them that Pinkie Sense is still canon, and 3) They didn't like Rainbow Dash's bad behavior because they don't like seeing her flaws.

      I was disappointed with Rainbow Dash, but not the writers, which tells me that the episode was well written. Even though she protects herself with her boisterous exterior, Dash is a much more vulnerable girl than a lot of her fans realize. Just look at Sonic Rainboom-- she had a nervous breakdown because she was afraid she wasn't going to be the best, and the same thing almost happened when she realized that Mare Do Well was more appreciated than her.

      The only episode that I considered bad was Cutie Pox. Even for a "bad" episode it was still very entertaining and had lots of great moments, however the whole thing felt pointless and there was no character development.

    172. Since this is a Valentines Day Marathon, I really feel "Secret of My Excess" needs to be one of the episodes.
