By which I of course mean you should adore Matt Smith and, more importantly, avoid SPOILERS.
I think at this point we're all aware of the leaking of this weekend's FIM episode "Hearts and Hooves Day" At first I'd hoped it was some kind of special on-porpoise gift to the community, but from the sound of things it's a tremendous derp over at Itunes and, undoubtedly, heads will soon roll down the aisles of Apple HQ.
I did in fact purchase and watch the episode because I'm terrible at waiting. I have zero willpower when it comes to such things. That said, it was something I bought and paid for and legally purchased, so I don't feel bad having seen it.
BUT...
I think we also need to do the right thing and keep our mouths, and wacom tablets shut until the episode airs for everypony on Saturday. Many people are far more patient than I and are waiting to watch Hearts and Hooves Day Saturday morning, as is tradition. I will also be tuning in to support the show proper-like. But you won't be seeing any art or references to the show from moi until after that time.
I don't mean to come on and lecture as much as I seem to, but I do wholeheartedly believe we have something of an obligation to represent the virtues of the show we love and- perhaps more importantly in the really real world- to support the show and the people who create it in every way we can. That means putting our eyes in front of the advertising and dutifully not spoiling it for others.
Anyhoo, I'm sure you all know this being generally awesome people and ponies. Hope you all have a great weekend of either Valentines or anti-Valentines activities ahead. I'll see you on Saturday!
PS- This week, Cheerilee is best pony. True fact.

Well, turns out DA doesn't have a reliable method of adding spoiler tags. So another thing to add on the list of reasons I hate this site.
good call. I live in the UK so wont see any eps untill much later and it dose irritate me as soon as I come on to DA there is TONS of art and journals based on that episode.....screen shots ect all spoil it.
I know many where exited to get their ideas up ASAP, but could they NOT think of the folks who have YET to see the ep due to other reasons, it wont pevee them off so much.
*offers latte* a reward for your good words
But I will still love and tollerate all of my brony brotheren and my ponny sisters cause that's what family is all about.
I put this [link] on the top of my posts about pony episodes (and the rest under a cut)
Didn't see the Matt Smith thing coming, though. Also, as one of the few who didn't even hear about this untill, well, right now... I dunno.
All of it
Going to be a long couple of days.
tank you (and seth) for not posting spoilers
I could not resist watching it. I couldn't pay for it, unfortunately, because iTunes thinks that it needs to obey the archaic licensing laws that exist today, as I don't live in the US. I do so wish networks would realise what year we currently live in.
My favourite bit (without spoilers)? 04:05.
Whatever, damage done. I'm still watching it in an hour on the stream.
I'm gonna wait till saturday.
Derpy: "Oops! My bad!!!"
Sadly, I saw it, but I'm not telling anything until after the show airs Saturday, Feb. 11.
Now, remember, who've seen it, keep it to yourself.
Or, we'll sent Twilight Sparkle over to give you "The Lecture!"
She's doing that at ITunes, right NOW!
...and even though I had no willpower this time, one thing's for sure. Everyone nowadays should be more patient with stuff. There's a reason why they say patience leads to wisdom.
On a more serious note, though I may have seen the episode, still can't wait for Saturday on account of all the fun things I find one Deviart that follows.
And now for something that did not happen in the episode. I must warn you, I suck at using muro.

"Being a good writer is 3% talent & 97% not being distracted by the Internet"
I actually found a solution to that: Alcohol! Though it could just be a placebo effect.
Quick, run up that slide!
Removed from YT: nope.
I did watch it. And I'll only give one little thing about it:
You'll see Derpy once and Doctor Whooves twice in the episode.
But you'll have to look fast.
And yes, I also watched it.
Also, David Tennant is best Doctor.
I'm almost afraid to go through any of my dA watch messages for fear of getting something spoiled.
I love the show and can't believe Apple derped so big. I've always loved Saturday morning cartoons, and this show has brought that tradition back to my house.
I was tempted to get the episode last night, but just couldn't do it. I want to watch it "the proper" way. Then likely buy it.
