Featuring cameos by patrons: lightningrod288, eleboy, and PereMarquette1225
...No seriously, what WAS that?!?! ...and yes, the first two panels were a jab at those who were sending death threats to the staff after the leaked finale... YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID AND YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!!!!
Jasper's ACTUAL Thoughts: And with that, the end of the Daring Do saga has come.... and OYE what a letdown (Season 9 has been in a bit of a rut lately). Now, I can understand what they wanted to go for - the villain's side of the Daring Do story -which can KINDA work since we saw in "Daring Done?" that Daring Do's actions DO have consequences even if she had nothing but good intentions. Instead... it felt completely one-sided, making it extremely obvious that Dr. Caballeron was lying through his teeth, and making Fluttershy look extremely gullible -though, to her credit, she does manage to win the villains over with her kindness -probably right behind Twilight with the record for villain reformations. Speaking of which, I personally am not TOTALLY against villain reformations as long as they're done well... this was not one of those times. I sincerely have a hard time believing that Caballeron would quit JUST because somepony listened to his crocodile tears and he found out Ahuizotl was just protecting his pretties. Speaking of, Ahuizotl... based on his previous schemes with the Sapphire Stone and the whole "using magic rings to unleash 800 years of heat" thing, it's KINDA hard to believe he's just some misunderstood guardian. Speaking of continuity glitches, Daring Do's secret is exposed... and the fans' first instinct is to crash her book signing and jump down her throat about how their fee-fees got hurt because a book character is real and because their dumb enough to believe Caballeron's dumb book ...even though this revelation REALLY means that she's helped Equestria more times than these snobby brats deserve! ...I hate angry fan ponies, can you tell? And something I just remembered... didn't Dash technically already blow the secret when she wrote about her adventures with Daring Do in the journal that got PUBLISHED in "Fame and Misfortune"? So... by now, it kinda shouldn't be no surprise unless there was some kinda spell that made the townsfolk forget all about the journal (Which I wouldn't rule out since we never got to see HOW the Mane 6 got out of that one). Sooo yeah, not really a fan of this episode - rushed reformations, plot holes, and obnoxious fans... really wish they could've ended Daring Do's adventures on a high not since we may never see her again :(. Oh well. Farewell, AK Yearling. Thank you for reminding us that reading isn't just for eggheads and that fiction is more close to home than we thought.
