I still like the interpretation found online... that Sombra was depression personified.

Its not like that explanation and the Tartarus one have to be mutually exclusive. :P

Gonna be out of town tomorrow so I won't be able to catch the episode live for the second week in a row =( Oh well. I hear tomorrow is a CMC episode so I'm a bit wary about it, not a good track record for the CMC episodes so far.

Well that's just like, your opinion man.

The CMC episodes are among my favorites.

Each their own, I guess The Show Stoppers will always be cringe-inducing episode though =P

Since I won't be in this thread tomorrow I shall just leave this here, and see y'all on Sunday.

Well, when it's a freaking BRONX Apple family member... and I live in NY... and I'VE BEEN to the City... yeah, I'm gonna enjoy this, especially if AB or Sweetie are the ones to smack a bitch.

... also, apparently Scoots got singing lessons for this season.  From what I hear, she sounds pretty damn good. But we'll see today, won't we?
There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.

I don't really like the CMC or CMC episodes much. This wasn't much of an exception.

It was ok, but there have been better CMC episodes. Also I enjoyed the "I think Babs just went to the darkside" comment, oh MLP, I see what you did there.

great gotta skip this one.  I dunno if CMC is popular with their main demo since bronies don't like them that much.
Edit caught the stage scene WTF?  Why was the doctor with someone other then Derpy?  Oooh she won't like that.

So...

Babs gets bullied at home and takes it out on the CMC = "She has her reasons, we should pity her and let her suffer no repercussions for her behavior."

CMC get bullied by Babs and take it out on her = "OMG what are you doing, that is never justified, bad CMC, shame on you!"

So I guess the moral of the story is: if you get bullied, you should attack someone completely unrelated rather than the bully themselves.  Got it.

So I guess the moral of the story is: if you get bullied, you should attack someone completely unrelated rather than the bully themselves.  Got it.

I didn't get this impression at all.

For one thing, nobody was harsh on the CMC for stooping to the level of bullies.  Aside from the CMC themselves, but that's because they knew they were doing something wrong.

For another, The CMC and Babs learned their lesson together.  It was treated as both were in the wrong.

(In other words, it's not okay to bully a bully.  That's a message I agree with)

If anything, the moral was "Don't be afraid to go to an adult about this issue"  Which was delivered so anviliciously that it made me kinda sick.

Am I the only older person who does like the CMC?? They're cute. I don't get the CMC hate.

I like the CMC, too, but I will admit, episodes focused around them tend to be my less liked episodes.

I think it's the standard reasons people don't like kids in fiction.

This episode was alright.   I'm not sure it was my favorite CMC episode, but it was serviceable.  Also, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon will likely never be anything but jerks.  I mean, I suppose it fits their characters, but we'll never see growth from them for a much simpler reason than just "deeply ingrained personality" issues.  We'll never see them be anything but jerks because they're convenient CMC episode antagonists.

Edit:  My Little Brony's stupid unmarked spoiler bullshit finally prompted me to make a rage comic to address it.
