Yes! such a SOL episode with the blend of the books adventure. then the parallels of the two was so good. and you're right! that little meta aspect to the fandom and outsiders thinking MLP is weird or abnormal. love how deep they can go into a concept with being so calm.
gotta get back to reading!.
Ah thats interesting! i heard of the game but i am not a gamer but that sounds crazy!
all good! you've checked on my help plenty of times. No worries! <3

Oh yes... Daring Do, the undeniably, unquestionably, unstoppable "Indiana Jones" like Pony who is fighting against all odds against traps, riddles and a legendary foe Ahuizotl. And then there is Rainbow Dash, "the most daring devil? I mean, devilish darer?" - ah "Dazzling!" Pegasus Pony of all of Ponyville. It was just a matter of time until RD is getting hurt with her "most devilish dareing" moves, even though she is one of the toughest around. - Well not tough enough to admit that she likes to read or to be an egghead, as she would say. It is uncanny how similar it is to people reacting MLP. :D
It was a nice mix between slice of life and adventure elements with new characters, a little world building (yes it was) and an overall amazing enough episode. Well the lesson is somewhat simple, but still a good lesson and funny enough, Spike this the one who has to write that letter to Celestia this time (in contrast to "The mysterious Mare-Do-Well" episode where he wanted but was shot down by RD)
Some further thoughts:
"History of racing" ... that would be sooo...classic Twilight XD
Daring Do is an Indiana Jones reference, you should watch some of the older movies, theyre great.
If RD became a booknerd THAT would be funny... but we don't need two twilights...
Forget about what i said the last episode... RD´s biggest enemy is being an egghead!
Am i the only one who thinks that "you rained on my culumus" sounds just wrong? Or am i just that dirty-minded 👀
Twilight sure was suspicious :D
That "Dog"-Pony was funny as hell, she is called "Screwy" btw.
Thank you again for a wonderful reaction :)
I love books - and i love to let all the things that are written in there come to life with my imagination and to be immersed with my own little movie in my head - its great. Sadly... i dont read them as much as i should anymore...
Speaking of Books, i wonder if you ever heard of the game "Fallout"? There is a great Fan-Fiction out there, which mixes Fallout and MLP into one of the most well known Story, that the fandom ever created. It´s called "Fallout: Equestria" by KKAT. If you are ever able to you should listen to the Audiobooks that were created by some fans. And dont worry, it shouldn't spoil, cause it was created with only Season 1 in mind - well maybe also part of Season 2 but its mostly a complete new story in a post-apocalyptic Equestria.
I know im late at the party, and you said already that you are well enough again, which is great but i still wish you good health.

Noted! You see what I mean when you hear me talk later today in the next episode. I can still talk but it can hurt and sting which doesn’t make me want to talk at all 😂. Think I might take the weekend off so I can heal but I at least delivered 5/7 days!
Yes! Great and simple episode but packs a punch with the trying out something you never tried.
And yes you’re right! Can easily be seen as way to represent the fandom and people who enjoy the show!’ Love the little meta references!
Is this one of the better episodes this season? I saw on Serializd it had a decently high score so that made me wonder.

It’s okay if you take some days off for healing we understand! your health is very important, and I enjoyed this episode it’s super fun, I like to see character development in rainbow dash, also yes it’s an Indiana Jones reference! there might be a few other nods at movies similar but daring do is pretty much pony Indiana Jones, I like how rainbow dash is so into it and she never thought she’d even like books I like that lesson and a lot people associate it with the fandom because some people who didn’t wanna give my little pony a chance but finally did and could not stop watching!
