Discussion
To start things off on a happier note, Alca7raz and Nemesis take a look at 4 shorts from the last few weeks. The Friendship is Magic shorts are “Ail-icorn” and “Teacher Of The Month.” And then it’s Equestria Girls shorts, and they are “Sic Skateboard” and “Street Chic.” Not a ton to say, but they were generally alright.
Then it’s the big news of the week. It’s finally been confirmed that season 9 is the final season of Friendship is Magic. So that is talked about, including the fandom continuing on after it’s over. And how to do so. Not the most upbeat topic, but it must be addressed.
