Talk:Stranger Than Fan Fiction/@comment-10390252-20160730160110

That was the coolest fan-appreciation episode ever! I just loved how they addressed so much of the whole issue of different fans loving different aspects of the fandom and how these schisms create wholly-artificial feuds that shouldn't really matter for those who love the show. Just like we Bronies have sects. Some love the original 'moral of the week' episodic format. Some were attracted by the character growth and some were even attracted by Equestria Girls! Yet, these are all valid viewpoints and DHX were reminding us of that. We're all fans and we're all loving parts of the same wonderful experience.

Oh, I'm expecting a tidal wave of QuibbleDash shipper fictions with the existing DashShip shippers fighting a furious rearguard action against it. Which just goes to show that fandoms will always form split opinions that shouldn't ever divide us! FWIW, I'm expecting Quibble to get on well with Twilight - They both strike me as nit-picker fans who would spend hours going over every book looking for continuity errors and the like.

Why do I think Quibble is romantically interested in Rainbow? After they have the argument over book 4 and afterwards, he still keeps stalking her and trying to impress her with his ideas. Yeah, he fancied her and he fancied his chances too! So, yeah, at least one-sided canon ship, IMO.

This was funny, exciting and genuinely accessible episode for all, especially where it reminds us of people we've really met and debates (either IRL or on the Internet) that we've actually had. It is much better than the rather arbitrary-feeling Daring Don't. Instead of just saying: "Deal with it", they actually address the problems that would inevitably arise if a pop culture icon that everyone thought was fictional was in fact real. This was so well-written and well-presented that it has reconciled me to the 'real' nature of Daring Do, something that I previously didn't like.

BenRG's Rating: 8/10 - A great restart for Season 6 with either the joint-best or near-best episode of the season!
