“Gritty ’90s, you say?”
In which we talk about why Deep Space 9 is (for better and worse) very different from the other Star Trek franchises. We also cover the unfortunate implications of how race is handled in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
Show notes:
I love listening to people talk about Star Trek, apparently.
If I remember correctly from when mlp came out, they’re Princesses because Hasbro said so, despite Lauren Faust’s attempts to let her use Queen.
Man, I haven’t watched that since halfway through season 2.
Also I’m pretty sure there are already multiple AW hacks to make apocalypse ponies. But yours sounds better so far. (The use of the term alicorn in the show also really annoys me, but that rant doesn’t belong here.)
My thought about why they are princesses? The rulers of Equestria are living goddesses. If you are a deity directly ruling your theocracy, I think you get to pick your title.
