S01 E24 Owl's Well That Ends Well

S01 E24 Owl's Well That Ends Well

And a fifth blog appears! After this one I've only got two left in the season. The next one is supposed to be a game changer according to the people I've talked to about it, but I'll reserve judgement. As for Owl's Well That Ends Well? It was mostly boring.

Although the episode looked fine and the chase sequence near the end with the dragon was well done, there wasn't much else to praise in this episode. Most of the humor came from bad puns and telegraphed slapstick gags you can see coming from a mile away if you're older than 8. No surprises here, and that's what hurt this episode in my eyes. Oh well! 24 down and 2 to go...

Choice Moments


03:19 I think this is the exact moment that I started to notice just how overblown all the Spike-praising was. I mean, it was obvious before in the teaser, but this is when I started to become actively annoyed by it. I actually kinda liked Spike, don't make him annoying!


04:55 "And the punch has been...'Spiked'!"

05:53 So Twilight's parchment gets blown away by the wind and she just watches it float away before saying "Oh, this is a job for Spike! If only he were awake!"

IF ONLY YOU HAD MAGI-KINESIS AND YOU COULD HAVE GRABBED IT IN MID-AIR WITH YOUR FUCKING THOUGHTS



07:31 "I'm gon' steal yo' mothafuckin' job."



08:58 Owloicious got Spike salty as fuck, tho


10:52 YOU HAD ONE (of two) JOBS!


11:58 So are dragons pyrokinetics, or...



13:27 literally twirling his moustache 

WE GET IT, HE'S BEING A DICK


15:25 "Toooooooollld yaaaaaaaaa..."



17:13 "How was I supposed to know a cave full of precious stones would be a dragon's lair, I've never heard of a situation like that before in my life!"

18:02 This chase sequence is admittedly well animated, though they go a little overboard with the speed lines.


19:55 [insert logical conclusion here]

In Conclusion


See you next time for Party of One!
