I just binge-watched My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic ask me anything

Me and my 4 year old daughter watched all the episodes on Netflix over the past several weeks. We've watched the final 4 seasons since school let out in June. There are 5 seasons and 104 total episodes. I'm ready for school to be back in session.

It was pretty funny and had several allusions that kids would never get. There were homages to The Bog Lebowski, Flashdance, a Weird Al episode, and more that I'm sure I missed. It taught several good lessons and was pretty entertaining. My daughter has collected quite a few of the toys and other branded gear this summer.

I don't think I'm to the level of a Brony, but it was ok.



Oh yeah, that Pinkie Pie is straight up cray cray

There is a huge fan base. I personally don't get it, although it's all about peace and love and acceptance, so it's fine with me. I'd rather that than WOW, I guess.

I now think everyone in my house is Hufflepuff and I'm Ravenclaw.

About a year after it started.

But here's none other than John DeLancie, (yes, "Q&quot in a wonderful little cartoon.

(BTW, DeLancie voices "Discord" in the show.)
