When Mr. and Mrs. Cake need a babysitter on short notice, who's the only pony they can rely upon? Not Pinkie, that's for fucking sure, but unfortunately fate has denied them any alternative. Will Pinkie Pie be able to wrangle up tiny Pound and Pumpkin? Or will she crumble under the weight of her responsibilities? The latter would be fully valid, given that diaper changes have to be done orally in this universe. This week: "Baby Cakes."

Happy holidays, compadres! Over here, we're celebrating lame holidays like Christmas and Festivus, but you know what they celebrate over in Equestria? That's right, the founding of their nation!

To be young and carefree amid the blue waters and idyllic landscape of sun-drenched Italy in the late 1950s; that's la dolce vita Tom Ripley (Matt Damon) craves- and Dickie Greenleaf (Jude Law) leads. When Dickie's father asks Tom to bring his errant playboy son back home to America, Dickie and his beautiful expatriate girlfriend, Marge Sherwood (Gwyneth Paltrow), never suspect the dangerous extremes to which Ripley will go to make their lifestyle his own.

Oh boy, time for another hot dose of the Cutie Mark Crusaders! I sure hope one of them doesn't end up with an inscrutable illness that turns her French, almost as much as I hope we don't ever see the racist caricature again! What's that? We have both?

Holy fucking shit, we're alive! And not just alive, but still watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic! I'm not sure if that's better or worse than the alternative. In any case: opening the season strong, we're here talking about "The Return of Harmony," aka the debut of the fandom's most memetic antagonist.

It's been a ride, but we're not done yet! Before Theo and Cain can call it a season wrap, it's time to answer some questions once and for all: what were the best episodes of season one? The worst? What surprised us about this return to a shared pony obsession? And, most important of all—what are Cain's real feelings about the objectively best pony?

Back to the regular release schedule, which means this week we've got our normal two episodes: starting with "The Cutie Mark Chronicles," which suggests that Spike was brought into Twilight's life as a child slave, and "Owl's Well That Ends Well," which fully confirms it! This isn't a bit! Spike's entire paradigm of existence is in servitude to the Equestrian royal hierarchy and if I have to realize that, so do fucking you!

What's this? An off-week episode? Yes, "Over a Barrel" fried our pretty little brains so hard that the usual duo episode had to be split up, but have no fear: we still have plenty to say about "A Bird in the Hoof."
