Very enjoyable reaction as ever. Glad to see someone else who didn't start the episode disliking Gilda but rather appreciated her and felt that this side of her always could be there underneath the surface. It always kind of did irk me how extreme some of the hate for Gilda was. As you said, if it's just the Fluttershy thing, that really is kind of unreasonably shallow. I'm hoping this episode will change some minds on her. Curious to see how the Gilda haters react to it.

The story arc of this season is Pinkie eating bad baked goods.

This episode really had everything: great jokes, great world building, great interactions and tons of references one might not catch at first (for instance that is no simple Cyclops in the flashback, but a member of a race of one-eyed beings who in mythology feuded with griffins over gold). And much as with Rainbow Rocks, it did a great job redeeming and expanding on a character that didn't get much development in her first appearance. Seeing the utter apathy and greed of the society Gilda grew up in one can really understand why she ended up the way we saw her when she first appeared in the series.

I love this episode because it shows the Gilda's perspective, I always said that Gilda was not bad she was just misunderstood, she grown in an environment where she had no friends until she met Dash, but even Dash "left" her for Pinkie being this like a betrayal to her, is beautiful to see how she risked everything to save the two ponies she hated the most. Now another story has ended just like the story between Trixie and Twilight. This also makes me think is there a possibility that we would see Lightning Dust in the future? remember that the story between Dash and her didnt end very well in the academy. That would be great and would mean that maybe all the "enemies" of the mane 6 would become allies for a purpose, but only time will tell. Nice reaction :D

Those scones broke Pinkie's teeth, and her family eats literal rocks. Gilda, quit baking.

Oh man, after rewatching that Turnabout Storm scene I can tell how you got so sentimental about it. I did love this episode, but I can sure see some extra in value out of it after seeing your reaction.

I can understand why you would break down in tears due to this episode my friend, i had a fight with a friend once and we broke off contact, thought i would never see him again, that was 8 years ago... then 5 days ago, i bump into him at a pub, and at first we were like Rainbow Dash and Gilda, cold and hostile towards each other, but we started to talk out... and before long... we two grown men.. are crying our eyes out, hugging each other, and telling how much we have missed another, heck we were so emotional in front of everyone in the pub that we brought tears to the bartender's eyes..... this episode is a beautiful example of what healing a broken friendship should be like...... but as for YOU, sIr Luffy..... how DARE you not having done a 'Luffy reacts to Turnabout Storm'?... shame on you sir...SHAME.... nah i am just kidding, you are awesome as hell, and as always i love your reaction to the episode... but it would be sweet, if you did the turnabout storm reactions.. at least think it over okay? *hiding a spiked club behind my back*

King Grover probably had the same idea as Pinkie and knew the idol was nothing but gold.

Last episode: Celestia giggles at Twilight's flying challenges. This episode: Denied by a map. Methinks Twi's just embarked on the gradual descent into her Frustrated Luna stage. "Dear Pony of Shadows..."

15:49 "Now your just some griffin that I used to know."

What I learned about this episode is that ponies don't seem to see poverty when it's in front of their faces. They called the place a dump, when they should have said, "Oh, they must be going through some tough times. Maybe we can get the crown's help and fix this place up!". No wonder the griffins are such asses; the ponies ignored the decline of their race, and can't even bother to care enough to even know their current well-being. I now understand Celestia's foreign policy; ignore the problem and it will go away. I also learned that chick Gilda is adorable.

"The Lost Treasure Of Griffonstone" AKA "The map worked the way i wanted it to" is a freaking amazing episode, and is the first episode to get me pumped for what's in store (Me being someone who believed the map wouldn't show up until the finale) It finally hit me with this episode. If the Mane 6's job is to spread friendship, of course they'd have to confront enemies who they failed to befriend in the past. It seems pretty obvious, but i somehow didn't think about it. I can't wait for what's next :)

This is a great episode. Gilda gets some great development. Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash have a great dynamic. That flashback is great.

8:07 lol I said that, too. And I felt like crying after watching the episode.

This has been an emotional season so far. I can't wait to see what's ahead!

Just wait. Next time we see Gilda, she'll be the Queen of GriffonStone (and friendship)

BeeeeeeAUTIFUL REACTION!

Gilda looks saintly compared to the average Griffinstone resident who either ignore or ransack you for bits.

While I wanted Gilda to keep her more tsundere-side.. It's good to see they are friends again. Like when she rescued them she would say something like: "Yeah, whatever.."

One last thing; is anyone else disappointed there wasn't a complete 15-layer cake beside Gummy at the end?

Great episode and FUN reaction. Love watching you uh...watch stuff. Looking forward to watching the next episode with ya!

4:53 - I had a different word in mind for that moment: b*tch. Whatever happened to wanting to see what it was like to be a griffon?? But in all seriousness, I think I do realize what this episode meant to you. And you're not alone: that moment from Turnabout Storm made my tears run like a river as well.

This was a pretty good episode in my opinion. First off, while world-building isn't that high on my list of things I love in MLP, I do appreciate when they do take a little time to have some episodes that show off new locations in Equestria. The new lore we get to see for the griffons and the Griffon Kingdom is not only interesting, but the visuals used to show the lore are nothing short of cool to look at. I also appreciate the animators doing a nice of job of having all the griffons stand out from one another, like the ponies of Ponyville do. I'd imagine it would be a bit harder to do so, since most of the griffons are just different shades of brown, black or white, but they managed to pull it off pretty well. Also, it's nice to see an episode starring RD and Pinkie again, which we haven't really seen since Griffon the Brush-Off. I'm surprised by how well these two work off each other. Also, that opening scene with Pinkie and Gummy, and the punch line it leads up to by the end of the episode, is really funny. Tank may be my favorite of the Mane 6's pets, but Gummy is definitely a close second. The comedy in general for this episode was pretty good. RD's impression of Twilight on the train ride was definitely my favorite joke of the episode. I was also surprised to see Gilda back. Although, with this being an episode about the Griffon Kingdom, I should have seen that coming from a mile away. With that being said, though, I do like how they handled Gilda's redemption in the end, even if RD and her "making up" felt a little rushed. It was also nice to see how RD and her met in Flight School. Also, with the kind of town Gilda was raised in, apparently, I now hate her a little less in Griffon the Brush-off. Kudos to the staff for making me appreciate earlier episodes even more. I also rather liked how they didn't end up getting the idol to help bring Griffonstone back to its former glory. Rather, Gilda becomes the town equivalent of Pinkie Pie, and tries to help everyone become friends. I also like how it doesn't all happen at once, but they instead show that it's going to be a slow process. If I did have anything to complain about, it'd be that some of Gilda's dialogue was a little grating to me, and that the episode kinda lost my interest in the middle. Rather, RD's part of the story lost my interest, since it's mostly just restating the fact that "griffons are greedy assholes". I also think there was a bit of a missed opportunity in terms of character interaction between RD and Gilda. I think having the episode focus on them dealing with how the last left off in Griffon the Brush-Off could have been pretty interesting. Then again, I shouldn't judge an episode badly because it isn't what I was hoping it would be. For what the episode is, it's a pretty good one. Could have been a bit better in my opinion, but I still rather liked it.

My new favorite episode of the entire show, I think. 99/100, and not 100/100 just because I was dearly hoping that Gummy would finish the cake somehow during Pinkie's absense and was disappointed that he hadn't. Otherwise, this episode's got damn near everything I want out of an episode. Beautiful art (the flashbacks as well as many backgrounds), good animation with some cute and funny faces in there, some good BGM, adventure, worldbuilding, amazing humor (where the previous episode was hit and miss for me), good writing in general (continuity + ponies being smart instead of near catatonic kinda like Fluttershy was at times in the previous episode), actually emotional moments (unlike, say, "Tanks" which was such a total miss for me it might've made me even less emotional than usual... talk about overrated), antagonist redemption, a fairly mature moment (that the Aramaspi dude actually died in the pit, be it from falling or from starvation)... Honestly while I can think of a couple other things I want episodes to have, having them all at once would be pretty much impossible. So yeah. This episode was pure joy and I do not get tired of rewatching it with everyone's commentaries. Top quality.

I'm glad I'm not the only one happy with this direction! ^^

Happy and kind Gilda is so adorable, not gonna lie. :)

I loved this episode, more world building, good comedy, and they made a character that I wasn't too fond of more likable

Dash: Hello, Gilda. Gilda: Dash. Pie: Pinkie! Bob: Spongbob! Donkey: DONKEY!!!! TheManHimself: DEADPOOL!!!!1!!

Eh... sounded more like a Shrek reference. *"DONKEY!"*

the most important lesson of this episode: never bring Pinkie rock climbing.

Fun fact about Gullda's voice actress. She's the same voice actress of Sonata from Rainbow Rocks, and Revy from Black Lagoon.

23:50 You know what probably weirded her out, Gilda? That it sounds like you got a new VA halfway through the episode.

"Right up until the reign of King Pigeon...I mean King Guto."

This episode inspired me to write a fan fiction where I shipped pinkie Pie with the statue. I have just a twisted sense of humor. :S

I love this episode too which is crazy and shows how good this season is. I love how it starts with a close-up of Gummy getting hit with batter. I imagine that all Pinkie Pie does when she has nothing to do she creates awesome desserts and I think someone who creates something that takes 15 hours is awesome. I like that Granny Pie is mentioned and if Pinkie Pie keeps talking about her family I think there'll be an episode centering around her family. I love Gummy because I find everything he does hilarious. I like how this episode proves the theory that the Map would sometimes call only some of the mane 6 instead of all of them. I love that Twilight Sparkle knows things about everything. I love the world-building with the Griffon history. When they started talking about Gilda I was hopefully optimistic that she would be back. I love that Twilight learns everything about things that interest her and her anger is funny. I love that the friendship express goes everywhere. Twilight Sparkle would be the type to write a tour guide. Rainbow Dash looks good with Twilight Sparkle's hair and her impersonation was hilarious. I love how Pinkie Pie wastes all their money in two minutes. I love how cool the build-up for Griffonstone is and then it pans out to show a dump. I used to not like Gilda but now love her after thinking about it. When Gilda starts to talk it's like theres the Griffon we either love or hate. I love the explanation of why the Griffon Empire went downhill because it introduces a new creature to the MLP FIM universe which I dub a ramclops. I love that Rainbow Dash immediately assumes this is like a Daring Do adventure. Also ponies do seem to try to help others a lot. I would freak out about books in a state of disrepair just like Twilight Sparkle because a little wear and tear is fine but that was wrong. Also Pinkie Pie is once again talking to inanimate objects and the voice is similar to one from Party of One. I love that Pinkie Pie was going to sing the Smile song. She is completely out of her element and Gilda shows how strong griffon roars can be. Pinkie Pie seems to be really unlucky with baked goods this season. We don't have to worry about her teeth because her fourth wall breaking powers will fix them. I love the Griffon shopkeeper because of the unrelenting and deadpan way she answers any and all questions with a variation of give me money. Also Rainbow Dash breaks her bones or sprains herself the most out of the mane 6 besides Twilight Sparkle. I love how they turn the friendship is always the solution on it's head by having the solution be baking powder. Also Pinkie Pie apparently just stores stuff in her mane. I love how Gilda seems to be the only Griffon willing to make friends. I should have seen Pinkie Pie just throwing the rope coming but I didn't. I loved seeing how Gilda and Rainbow Dash met because of how adorable they are but I can't believe those bullies are back seriously did their parents teach them to be dicks. I love how Gilda and Rainbow Dash tell each other they care with insults. When you see the Ramclops's skull it's like oh man it died down there. The scene with her having to choose between a treasure and someone she cares about is a reference to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade but I thought of Emperors New Groove first for some reason. I like how Gilda's voice changes after she saves Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie and that Gilda is strong enough to climb out of the gorge while carrying 2 ponies. I feel bad that Greta is the first Griffon to say something nice to her. And Pinkie Pie just fucking inserts a commercial into the episode. I love that they made up with Gilda and I think that Gilda could become Queen of the Griffons. After thinking about it I realized Gilda is similar to some of the mane 6. She doesn't have parents like Applejack, bakes like Pinkie Pie and is a great flyer like Rainbow Dash. I love that this season Pinkie Pie is breaking the fourth wall a lot.

Looks like it's a good thing that I finished my blind reaction to Turnabout Storm a while ago.

I'm assuming Griffonstone was some sort of raider country before they found that treasure, but then collapsed under their own weight, like the Roman Empire.

This is a pretty good episode kinda figured where it was heading when Gilda showed up but still awesome none the less. Though I can't help but notice that Pinkie has an obsession with that one king. Also that no singing thing has got to be a refrence to something cause I feel like it was from somewhere.

Also, it seems grandpa was a soldier before the fall, judging by that scar on his eye.

22:38 - "...no...the truth is...for Gilda, she was an irreplaceable friend." :,( the feels, man...

It wasn't because she made Fluttershy cry that made me hate Gilda when I saw Griffon the Brush Off (although that was 5% of the reason), it was because she felt like a REALLY badly written 90s high school bully, with dated insults to match (dweeb, lame-o, doofus, etc). That and she could've given Granny Smith a heart attack when she scared her as a prank. But yes, I like her now that this episode happened. :)

Well I thought Daring Do would appear as her secon book was about Griffons, but YAY GILDA THANK YOU SO MUCH finally after 4 seasons she's back!!!! XD

I've always had hope for Gilda. Glad she has made a comeback.

Hi LuffyIsCool You actually inspired me to go watch "Turnabout Storm". And I must say... You were so right about it being good! I LOVED IT xD

18:34 At least she was more faster and louder saying her name than Fluttershy. lol

15:30 i was like OMG Greta, Gilda Griffon Lover OMGOMGOMG

So no final thoughts? Aw well I'm 100% happy Gilda returned too. ^^

Congrats guys. We got our episode about a background character. No derpy, vinyl, octavia, lyra/bonbon, doctor whoove, or Donut Joe (pony I wanted to see again)

pinkie has broke the 4th wall 2 times so far this season at 19.24 it happens in this episode and it happened in the last one too

I'm gonna bet all my bits that anyone who saw this video didn't skip the Turnabout Storm reference.

I would like to see Gilda and Trixie be friends that would be awesome :D

Maybe the spread of friendship will help in the finale somehow. I'm thinking that Starlight Glimmer wanted all the Cutie Mark Magic to take over all of Equestria in someway. The more cutie marks she got, the more power she obtained. And I'm thinking that she's going to get that power somehow and the mane 6 will need help to stop her. That would be am interesting finale.

I'm with you 100%. Until I saw Turnabout Storm, I didn't care if Gilda ever came back. But after seeing it, I was hoping she's get a 2nd chance.

6:15 Luffy: "That is gonna be exploited to hell" Me: "Hell yeah it is!" xD

...I'm still RPing my Gilda as a lawbreaker :D

I saw 8:00 as a Seinfeld reference. "Hello......... Newman." :D

I think I felt more nostalgia hearing that Sonic music than seeing Gilda again... (*Disclaimer: I actually like Gilda.)

Realistically, it would take a lot more than friendship and scones to unite a kingdom, so it seems a little rushed, as did the makeup between Dash and Gilds, I would've given it a few more episodes to develop, both the kingdom, maybe show them reuniting under a common cause rather than just friendship, and let the makeup grow over time. I still liked this episode, but I sorely hope they get to an episode with a neat adventure.

Plankton Krabs My name is Jeff

*Pinkie is great this season*. No arguing there.

6:10 something else that reminds me of turnabout storm

Nice Indiana Jones reference at 20:13

"I've got nothing." Ha! That's a first! I do share most of your opinions re:Gilda, though. I've been hoping for a redemption episode for her since season 2. Since we have a couple ponyless weeks coming up, might you possibly use one of them to react to Ultra Fast Pony: The Movie?

This seriously feels like the setup for a spinoff, and I actually really hope it happens. So, this just leaves Diamond Tiara and Starlight Glimmer as non-redeemed villains, right?

Am I the only one who thinks that this season has more Paragon/Renegade Mass Effect style moral decisions than the others?

All the griffon names begins with a G :D

24:45 "See ya later, you ol charmer" I guess she likes'em "rock hard" eh? *wink wink, nudge nudge*

My pony is an Alicorn with a Golden/Mint Green shooting star. She is Celestia and Luna's youngest sister. She guards the asteroids and planets.

What is it with Pinkie and her eating questionable things this season XD

You going to react to the UFP Movie?

This was a good Pinkie episode :D

Great reaction, but was hoping you'd say something about Indiana Jones, when Gilda was reaching for the idol

I can't watch it . It says the video is not available.

am I the only one thinking of hte unfo rtunate implications of "Griffon's are Inherently Greedy"?

This episode may have permanently damaged Luffy.

Do you pay for those print out anime pictures on your wall?

Well... Season 5 is killing it!! so far just one episode not so great, and even that one ws an interesting idea, only, poorly executed,but interesting none the less(Appleloosa's most wanted)

what cutie mark do you have on your own pony? is it a key?

Adventure Time

Wait is that Nowacting`s voice

where is Gustave le Grand?

oh, what's that? a reaction of luffy i can actually see and comment on? didn't think that would happen in my lifetime again. pretty much any other video of yours i tried to watch is copyright blocked because of your intro replacments. really pisses me off sometimes... with that being said, i really enjoyed the episode. i love to see more worldbuilding and i'm always big on villain redemption (though gilda wasn't really a villain imo). hopefully we'll get to see more of griffinstone in the future.

(20:05) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gpiUpNeoxrubm2g.html The scene just beg for that insert.

React to 100th episode promos.

I honestly setted this as my favorite cringe episode

You are way too sentimental for your own good. AND BEFORE ANY OF YOU START! I'm not trolling and didn't say it was a bad thing! In other news: He died! That goat thing freaking died! He fell into a gorge and freaking died! We've had skeletons set underground before, but they we're just background noise. And we've had Timberwolves and Sombra blown to smithereens but both have been shown to regenerate and Sombra was too forgettable to make us care. But he died! He explicitly fell and decayed! He freaking died!

Narrator comment here!

This is honestly my second least favorite episode of the season, and I still don't like Gilda. For me, the most enjoyable part was everything up to the end of the train scene. And my personal dislike of her comes more from her personality than anything to do with what happened with Fluttershy.

I never watched this episode. I avoided it because I never felt like seeing Gilda again. Oh, I didn’t know what I missed. I wonder what other things I’m missing by skipping episodes... B- B- _BAKA!_ Also, Baby Gilda is just too adorable for any type of description in any human language.

I love mlp but I don't love the toys

Can you talk less please
