A from me!

Spoiler: The episode

I was eagerly awaiting this episode and was cracking up when Rainbow met Quibble. I could actually ship them, but I digress.
I loved how the episode poked a little bit of fun at nitpickers and how there is a lot of skepticism about the supposedly impossible. I would ask how Quibble is so skeptical, given that magic is part of his culture.

I thoroughly enjoyed the episode, and laughed openly at Quibble's behavior, because I see it in so many fans (myself included). Patton's voicework is spot on, and he infuses Quibble Pants with that terrific nerdish fan personality we've all come to know him for, but now ponified. I also love the moral of the message more than anything, that one can be a fan and not agree on everything, and that fans come in all different types that no one fan is the only "true" fan. The episode passed by quickly, and that would be its only downside for me, as I could have watched Quibble and Dash interact for hours. I loved it.

All in all, a fun episode. I gave it an "A".

That was pretty awesome. I must say that Quibble Pants was really annoying - which was the point. That's why I liked the morale of the story. I loved all the detail that went into the convention and that we got another Daring-Do crazy monster (I really like those). Quibble Pants' monologue during the end credits made me laugh. And they did the brohoof (twice).

Too bad we can't have an adventure aboard the Enterprise to settle our differences.

Wouldn't that be great?! That I would try to steal Spock should be irrelevant.
