Tank? [MLP FiM Spoilers]

by
Not the awesome Yoko Kanno song.  

Finally, a new song!  It's pretty good but nothing awesome like Winter Wrap-Up or Art of the Dress.  Watch for Derpy at the very end of the song.  *hee*hee*

The cold open is pretty weird.  At least Aloysius makes another appearance along with Wynona.  Angel has gotten most of the pet attention so far.  That's because he's awesome but he's already taken.  

The contenders?  That kitten is evil.  Pinnipeds?  Seriously…  The flying squirrel is so cute!  (But there's already a Rocky in the series!)  That owl is just awesome.  I want him for a pet!  He can fly, he's kind of freaky, he's shaped like an egg with horns, and he looks good in a sweater vest.  Yes!  Why wasn't the 'buzzard' even in the list?  It's just lurking there in the background.  For those on the other side of the Atlantic we Yanks tend to call vultures buzzards and it's an American turkey vulture.  I don't call them that because I know better but I'm just saying.  

Tank?  Whut?  I guess that explains the mysterious Rainbow Dash toy.  At first I thought they were making fun of it.  Still, they call it a turtle in the toy description and Tank is definitely a tortoise.  Maybe they are making fun of a really stupid toy after all.  

So, errors.  There's the duck in the wrong layer.  At least it wasn't another ponyclops.  The bald eagle sounds like a redtail hawk as usual.  I'm used to hearing eagles that sound like eagles for real and like that redtail call on the TV box so whatever.  I heard the most awesome redtail call yesterday.  She (probably, the hawk was freaking huge) had the deepest scratchiest 'on the wing' call I've ever heard.  It must have been a long-time smoker Jersey diner waitress redtail.  Nice.  Totally not a bald eagle call though.  I demand species accuracy in cartoons!  

One thing I want to know is, where are the magic flying cars?  If a tortoise can fly with a helicopter thing what other technology is being suppressed in Equestria?  It's a conspiracy I tell you!  

Also, there's trouble in Ponyville.  I figured there'd be a rainbomb hitting fanficverses earlier than this.  Aah well, it had to happen.  Rewrites ahead on my birthday I guess.  Nonetheless I'm totally looking forward to it.

I DVRed it.

I have it on my TiVo as well.  Also, I'm going to check the newsgroups.  This season's new episodes have been appearing reliably.  

I'm really not interesting in arguments re: TVTropes and the rest.  I do understand it's really annoying when nopony responds to journals though.  :-/

If Yoko Kanno ever manages to actually write and compose a song, I'll be amazed.  In the mean time, she's still the whiny DA Art Thief of the music world.

Surprised you didn't use this version of the Yoko Kanno song, as it would have been completely relevant 120%.

I liked Tank the Tortoise, though; I really did.

That's pretty well done.  I like it.  Edited.
