Badger: Ohmygawsh, youse a Flootershai fan too? 
Squeeee
I hope you’re not spoiling yourself by watching MLP intermittently. There are some critical episodes (or what I call “character milestones”) that are pivotal to some ponies, usually the Mane Six. Like Wonderbolts Academy. Or any of the season finales, which usually involves Twilight.
I’m not sure if that’s the same thing with me for Viva Pinata. I reckon it is a “everything back to status quo” show, much like The Simpsons or Family Guy or CSI. But if there’s an arc for some characters like Fergie or Horstachio, I hope I don’t ruin it by hopping around! 
As far as I know, VP has been cancelled? Are there any plans to resurrect it?
IV: I really really really need to watch Avatar, seeing how excited you are for the new season for Korra.
I remember watching Batman and Gargoyles as a kid and not understanding the episodes. In fact, I was terrified by a few of them!

One of my favourite experiences as a fan of MLP: FIM is the fandom. Of course, every fandom has its bad hats, and there are a few I’ve encountered who are even bigger ***holes than the ones in Pixar’s. But the majority of bronies (or pegasisters, or “fans of the show”) are good people. I’ve been fortunate to meet one of them IRL at Bronycon, and it was great to hang out and talk about not just about candy-coloured equines, but also our shared life experiences.
And, of course, there’s the fanart. MLP: FIM has the most number of cutest, darkest, craziest, silliest fanart I’ve ever come across in my life. I mean, I’m sure there’s some crack Doctor Who shippings, a few Pixar trailer mash-ups and some saucy Dragonball Z erotica, but the scale and diversity in FIM’s is unprecedented. What other fandom has people making plushies of OCs, or coding entire fighting videogames, or organising nationwide conventions in which you invite the actual voice actors of the show?
And this is one which is barely three years old. Not decades-long communities like the Trekkies or Whoovians.
I dunno. Maybe if I wandered more in other fandoms, I’d think the same too. But for now, this is what it looks like to me.
After a long day at work, trawling through deviantART and seeing the sheer amount of creativity and briliance of other artists just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. On a grander scale, fanart re-affirms my belief in humanity.

[/spoil] And yeah, I’m one of the crazy people who is totally cool with Twilight being a princess, so seeing how she handled the weight of the world on her shoulders is epic.
[/spoil] But really, I’m just glad the show’s back. I really missed it.
