Sunny Side Up:
Opaline really needs to work on that evil laugh. Or have someone look at that cough. One of the two.
So…now Opaline wants to steal everyone’s cutie marks. Well, I have to give her this, she’s willing to try new schemes. She doesn’t care, as long as she gets SOME kind of magic.
I guess being a Fire Alicorn also means being the Smokers Cough Alicorn.
“So not only do I not have the dragon fire, but I wasted all my magic showing off my COOL PLAN?!” Magic well spent!
LOREDUMP! Skyros? Lil’ Celestia and Luna are pretty cute. I guess this is Opaline’s origin story. She’s just…always been around, now. Okay. I guess this…MIGHT make sense, if we consider the old “Journal of the Two Sisters” Guidebook to be canon? In that, Celestia and Luna were mentioned to come from a land of Alicorns and were asked by Starswirl to become the princesses of the newly-formed Equestria.
Grounded…with her hooves magically glued to the floor. That’s actually a pretty effective punishment.
*Everybody runs in the opposite direction* Everyone’s running back home to watch how this all blows up in the Mane 5’s faces. Instant couch potatoes!
You know, it seems like Pipp really enjoys the PLANNING part of performing almost more than the performance itself. She’s willing to take a back seat for other people, as long as she gets to be in charge behind the scenes.
“Eezy Peezy Lemon Squeezy” Literally!
*A lemon lands on Pipp’s tiara* Oh no, Izzy’s falling item magnetism is contagious!
Well, at least Misty can get creative to maybe get out of this. The straw MIGHT have worked.
Wait, shouldn’t she be able to use magic without a cutie mark? Sweetie Belle could, anyway. Oh, she can, nevermind.
I really do wonder how Misty’s been walking all the way to and from the castle all this time. I suppose Opaline having those heavy-looking horseshoes on probably isn’t helping, either.
“Opaline thinks she’s SO powerful and magical, but she’s no match for MY HOOVES” Nice animation in this little scene.
Pear-nana’s. Oh no, more of the freak fruit.
*Everyone GASPS* …What? Hitch just fell and splattered Sunny a little. Why are they treating this like he did something unforgiveable? She’s not even wearing any clothes she could have messed up.
Yeah, a food fight probably WOULD get ponies tuning in.
Wait, Opaline was talking about taking this Dragon Stone? I thought she was talking about how taking the Unity Crystal could potentially destroy all magic. So there’s TWO magic rocks that control all magic in Equestria? Oh, is this what Twilight’s message was hinting at? The other thing Twilight sealed the magic into? Are there other magic rocks for the other G4 races?
“Oh, found some floor food? YUM!” Izzy is gross count: 1.
Pipp’s gone crazy for the views. Anything for that sweet, sweet VIEWER ENGAGEMENT!
…Sunny, you’ve been doing this cooking show for about 10 minutes. You really don’t need a heartfelt speech about having lost your way.
“Why does every magical thing have to be precariously perched with…STUFF in the way? Here’s a idea…BURY YOUR MAGICAL THINGS WITHIN HOOVES REACH!” Opaline makes a fair point. Ancient defenders of magical secrets have WAY too much free time. I’m sure Link, Lara Croft, and Indiana Jones would all agree with her.
“I knew something was off when I discovered Earth Ponies don’t have laser eyes” That would have been a good first clue, yes.
It’s happening! Misty’s finding her way!
“And that’s a cut to commercial” Wow, way meta, show.
“All I wanted was to be a great chef and an inspiration” Yeah…uh…real humble goals, there Sunny.
I mean, I don’t know why you WOULDN’T take it. It’s just floating there…OMINOUSLY! Seriously, it’s weird a bird or something hasn’t taken it, after all this time.
What? Magnetic hooves failed to hold the crystal? Actually, the hole seems like a safer place for that crystal than on top of a really obvious crystal mountain. It’s like Twilight WANTED someone evil to find it and use it for their own nefarious plans.
PInatas are full of lies…and candy! Misty’s taking too long, this isn’t happening, is it?
“You two getting along is not compelling television!” Pipp’s right. Start throwing rubber chickens at them or something.
Izzy spraying whipped cream when she talks: Izzy is gross count: 2.
Starting public access television was a really weird move for this show.
Wow, what is going on with Izzy’s phone case? It has SO MUCH personality. And a cute little face on it.
Seriously, Opaline, get a cough drop or something.
“You don’t have to spit on me when you grovel” Oh, Misty…*sigh* I guess it’s really easy to fall back into bad habits.
“Mind telling me what THAT is?” I mean…I’m pretty sure she’s seen Misty use a fake cutie mark before, right? This shouldn’t be a big deal.
