Another silly idea I had ... and probably the only Official acknowledgment I'm every going to make of That Show.

There are the days I go all the way back. Old baroncoon art is some of the stuff that'll make you say "I wanna learn to draw like this guy", his ability to design tech - that would probably work in the real world - was/is impressive... and I'm saying that with an engineering degree under my belt. I learned things about firearms and aircraft they never teach even at university-level! Now he uses his powers for designing ergonomic weapons and airships for ponies, which is interesting, but I'd be equally interested in ergonomic design for velociraptors, sentient hyenas, puppeteers, or what have you.
Don't get me started on hating then liking then blah about Ponies again. :p

They might have good reason to shoot first and ask questions never. The Borg weren't this dangerous: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/620...../1-opportunity
MLP MMO-RPG's AI "optimizes for individual human values" in ways that leak into the real world, quickly swallowing up all of humanity in a bizarre singularity of friendship & ponies. It should hit familiar themes if you've ever read Yudkowsky's opinions of extropian artificial intelligence.
There's a captioned photo I picked from FarceBook that I like. It shows Riker looking at an Imperial Destroyer on the Viewscreen, saying "What the hell? They're firing lasers at us. They don't even have shields." A bemused looking Piccard replies, "How quaint. Prepare to beam a dozen photon torpedoes onto their bridge, Number One."
Should I care? MLP:FIM is itself a relaunch, you know. The entertainment world is more or less tacitly admitting it is out of original ideas. So then, why should I waste my imagination upon those plainly have none? Let Michael Bay and JJ Abrams perform Dueling Relaunches until Disney buys them both and makes things, as hard to believe as it might be, even worse. As long as theatre attendance is not mandatory and my TV has an Off switch, I'm good.
I'm not sure it means so much that the entertainment world has no new ideas as it means that certain entrenched interests have no new ideas. Samurai Jack was pretty original, so was Men in Black, ReBoot, Shrek and a whole lot of things (and I'll even forgive them their sequels). But corporations have a tendency to play it safe, dilute responsibility, make committee decisions and avoid as much thought about the produce itself as possible.
I believe in the book "How to be a Complete Bastard" by Adrian Edmondson there were instructions on how to build a "My Little Pony Abattoir"...
...aaaand as I write this the ads at the bottom of the page are showing one for BronyCon in Baltimore in August.
There is no escape. Just lie back and think of Equestria.

Prepare to fire the Orbital Friendship Cannon!
I just checked, there are indeed drawings of ponified Next Gen characters and MLP-FIM/ST-TNG crossover fanfics out there. Ah, the net is vast. Hardly surprising after John De Lancie's involvement mind you.
We are the Herd. You will be assimilated. Resistance is magic.
I always thought the Borg would be improved if they assimilated the Federation. Still as ruthless, but a bit more polite about it. "We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile. Have a nice day."

I probably would watch MLP Build 2 exceptt I don't have access to cable and, thanks to the Miracle of Science, there are no longer any analog signals for me to pick up either. There's always YooToob, as people keep reminding me. But I hate YooToob and the consistant low quality of image and audio and won't watch anything there if I can help it.
I don't imagine I would be as carried away with the whole pony thing as so many people seem to be, though. I was immunized by the Powerpuff Girl craze.
