hinata2000100 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 OK, so this is not a "what was your first episode" thread, but rather, a thread about the episode where you KNEW you liked the show. I mean, I'm pretty sure everyone on their first couple episodes were like "Meh, this is OK", but what was the episode where you were like "Hey, this show's pretty dang good!" For me, it was Dragonshy. An episode about Fluttershy (because I liked her even before I was a true brony) just had me sold.So, yeah, post away!

MyLittlePonyTales Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 I watched the first two episodes around the time the show first started airing. Liked them both. Been watching the show pretty much since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellosh Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 I think it was around episode 4 or so that I actually started really enjoying the show....... at least I think so, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitehawke Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 For me it was more of an overall feel, I watched Sonic Rainboom, Feeling Pinkie Keen and Stare Master (the most recent episodes at the time) and thought the show was decent enough for me to watch from the start.After watching the premiere up to around Bridle Gossip, I realized that the show was consistently entertaining unlike many others with constant useless filler or just plain boring/bad storylines. It's around then that I considered myself a part of the fandom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
featherquill Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Best Night Ever. it was the first episode I saw because it happened to be on TV.I was a little unsure right up until the song and then I geeked out because it was Ever After.and I was hooked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abc Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Definately the first two, i was all "mother of celsestia this is sooo AWESOME" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RarityDash Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 I liked the show after the first two. It was really pretty immediate. That said, I think it was the fifth episode, Griffon the Brush Off, for me that made me decide that this was something truly special. Gilda really amused me and just impressed me in a way that that unicorn in the episode after hers seems to have done with more people. That episode just made me so eager and excited to watch more. It still remains among my personal favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoGiantRobots1983 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 "Applebuck Season" was the episode that totally sold me on the show. Before that I was just like "the next episode will be my last" and then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker_Izing Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 I followed episode order... Albeit "Applebuck Season" was my no return point too, on the cow stampede I had a moment of "What i'm doing here?" then Pinkie "My voice sounds so funny" Pie, lassoed me back in...

TotalEcplise Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Somewhere between Applebuck Season and Winter Wrap Up... But after WWU there was no return for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryptchild Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Well I started on A Dog and Pony Show as my first episode (my friend was watching it), then went back and started from the beginning in marathon style (it's how I watch shows).Soon as Rarity finished her song in Suited for Success I knew I had found the holy grail of cartoons.

Snowshoe Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 I grew up on 90's cartoons, the ones that were really, really well done, with great characters, and humour for both kids and adults alike.As such, I was drawn almost immediately, because this show has much of the same style behind it.The first episode I saw was Bridle Gossip, played by someone in a Gmod theatre server. I had heard about the whole brony phenomena, and had seen it around the net, and kinda wanted to check it out, so I figured this was as good a chance as any. Stood my character in a good spot and started watching, chatting with the others about the episode. When I realized just how good it was, I kept watching. The next video was a YouTube Poop of the episode Dragonshy, but that just made me want to check it out more. When I logged off, I started watching from episode one, and by the time I reached Dragonshy I was hooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidnightBlackhorn Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 For me it was the sonic rainboom one. For a good month, Rainbow Dash was my favorite pony. Then I saw the Nightmare Night episode, and absolutley flipped over Luna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flutterscotch Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 I saw Applejack's Family (AJ was my favorite pony as a child, which is the reason I checked out the show in the first place, beyond the fact that anytime Amid on Cartoon Brew complains about something in a crazy and doom-saying manner, it's more incentive to check it out)I immediately posted this: http://www.flickr.co...tch/5093678301/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weesh Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Hmmm, I see that I have a different approach.I watched in order, and got to the end of episode 8, "look before you sleep". A fine episode, but not amazing.At the end of that show, my thoughts were as follows: "I just watched an episode of a little girl's cartoon about sleepovers, and I can't wait to put in the next episode."It was not until that point that I realized that I would watch them all. Perhaps it would have been as early as some of you guys if I were a bit more self-aware. This is similar to my experience with the webcomic "gunnerkrigg court". I was just checking it out, but after I read the chapter about school girls getting haircuts, and I STILL wanted to read on, I realized I was hooked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not seeing the link.I didn't realize that I was hooked on the show until I noticed that I had all of the episode in MP4s and sorted into playlists.Kinda like how you dont realize how much of a show youve been watching on demand until you check your history.

Lerian Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I realised towards the end of S1 Ep2* at the part where Twilight is alone, she hears her friends coming and gets 'the spark'.I can't remember my exact thought process but something along the lines of:????I was just watching this to see what the fuss was about... Why the 'frick' am I tearing up?Happy endingI am gonna watch the HECK out of the other episodes!*I watched them in order, although others have said this may not be the best way to get into it. Turns out it was right for me, not just because of the above but because I'm an 'old-school' DnDer so the epic adventure part was already appealing to me before the deciding point.

weyland Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I'm not really sure on which episode I got totally hooked to be a brony. I watched the entire first season in a marathon, and there was no this 'pull', and I was ready just to forget ever watching it. Then my friend suggested to try Lesson Zero and Luna Eclipsed first before I closed the case.Yeah, I love that two episode more than the 1st season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosewind Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 The opening title sequence after Stare Master's opening. Watching Rainbow Dash fly into Ponyville with the updated My Little Pony theme hooked me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erlenmeyer Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 I knew I liked the show after I saw Dragonshy. Its remained one of my top 10 episodes ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
