Hitting the Century: 100th episode details released


Information about certain elements of Season 5 were released over at PonyCon AU's panels. What's going on? Along with the return of everyone's favorite deadpan delight Maud Pie and more talk about the actual pony movie coming to theaters soon, there were also new details involving the upcoming 100th episode of pony. It's juice and jam time, people.



Are you ready for this? The 100th episode is something a lot of people have been bitching about asking for for a long time. According to our secret source, the episode will feature none of the main cast at all. Instead of the mane 5 and princess perfect, it will feature all the other inhabitants of Ponyville.

That's right, an episode dedicated entirely to background characters to celebrate hitting the century mark. While it's confirmed that Doctor Whooves will be making an appearance in true 10th doctor form, the rumors about David Tennant voicing the character are still not confirmed (sorry fangirls). Along with him, other fan favorites like Lyra, BonBon, Derpy Ditzy Doo Confused Horse, Bulk Biceps, and others are all on the table, either keeping fan favorite personalities or developing entirely new ones.

The episode will attempt to cram as many characters in as possible while trying to keep a fun, coherent story line à la The Simpsons episode 22 Short Films About Springfield. Unfortunately, your favorite fanfiction about Derpy Ditzy Doo Confused Horse accepting artificial insemination for Bulk Biceps and Doctor Whoove's love child will not be incorporated, instead trying to keep to actual canon while keeping in mind the popularity and identities of certain characters. With all this, I think we can say that we're interested to see how this works out, but who cares! 100 episodes, bitches!


also, fuck Florida State
In other news not concerning us hitting a television milestone, there's going to be more Maud Pie! Everyone's favorite monotone bimbo returns for a very special Hearth's Warming Eve special. While there were no more details other than "hey, rock pony is coming back for Christmas," we can only hope it takes the style of a story book Christmas movie.

Can you imagine? Maud Pie in her finest red robe, stocking a warm fire with her and her siblings' stockings all hung with care. Then sitting down in a lounge chair with reading glasses and a pipe to share a wonderful Hearth's Warming Eve tale with all the kids? Oh, we can dream. We can certainly dream...



Oh and stuff was mentioned about the pony movie but we already know it's an official movie involving My Little Pony. So nothing new there, but hey, we're still getting a pony movie that's actually good. That's nice.



I'm actually pretty damn hyped about the background pony episode. And Maud Pie in a Christmas episode? Hell yeah. Hopefully Horse News can get a cameo in the movie, too.

  1. Why is this article not complaining about the show finally going to total shit? It's so optimistic, it hurts.

  2. I would prefer a good episode with good characters and well thought out story. If all it becomes is an episode that acknowledges the fandom and nothing else, what are we getting excited about? That we got recognized? Good for you, you just wasted an episode of pony on your need for validation. If they can make a good story, thats all I care about. But the fandom going apeshit over background characters is sometimes vexing and ruins the fun.

    1. We already have a plotless background pony episode that's nothing but 23 minutes of nodding to the fandom. It's called Double Rainboom and I think a profession team of seasoned writers will be able to put together something better than that. Have faith.

    2. Oh, I don't doubt the creators. I doubt the fandom. Watch it be a really good episode where a new background pony who has yet to be named has a great story, but it'll be known for "THE EPISODE IN WHICH VINYL SCRATCH SPEAKS" because they had DJ-PON3 say 'what's up' in the beginning of the episode. Something like this has already happened. The Last Roundup. Great Episode, arguably Amy Keaton's best. But no one cares. All they care about is Derpy's voice and the shitstorm that followed. The episode could be great, but it could also bring forth the reason why we can't have nice things.

    3. The round up wasn't that great of an episode anon. Please take off the nostalgia glasses.

    We are now mortal enemies, Horse News. I require a dozen virgin sacrifices before I forgive you of this transgression.

  7. Despite all wanting a decent story that gives some character to prominent secondary and one or two background characters we all know it will be a "LOL WUB WUBWUB PONESTEP XDDDDDD" maymay fest.

    2. On the contrary, I've been here long enough to see this a billion fucking times, hence why I'm so bored of it.

    MLP critic, you dissapoint me. I thought of maybe doing an article about this by actually going to the source of the information about the 100th episode, my Aussie friend Slorgy, which would not have been hard for you to simply look him up and tried to get a small interview or his thoughts about it and how he came past the information, but no. You simply copy and paste info you found on that site itself. You had the potential to have even more insider info then Equestria Daily even put, yet you decline on this because your way is just easier.

    Think out of the box, bitch.
