Description Review of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Season 7 - Episode 15: "Triple Threat"

Final score: D+

Choice quote: '
Spike spends most of "Triple Threat" trying to keep Thorax and Ember from seeing one another, carefully juggling his time with them while trying to dip his scaled pecker in both dragon and changeling alike.'

The map finally pages Spike, and it's to tell him to stop being such a dumbass.

This episode was fairly regular for me, Ember was the best and Thorax did not seem so annoying despite his voice.Β I really hate his voice. I think his conflict makes sense, he is not a leader just for having a redesign, and the changelingsΒ are finally realizing that.

Spike was the one who scheduled both Thorax and Ember for the same day.

I think all three of them should shag like Austin Powers. xd Plus did Spike butt in on two stallions on a breakfast date?! lol Looked like a private home. The two had spent a romantic and heavenly night of mating and then the next morning after breakfast Spike opens up the window.

I think would be better, if Spike became a FULL dragon (not a baby stuff even CMC growed up), and take HIS place as Dragonlord, after all, HE grabed the Cepter, he's the Ruler, now he quits just to be a SERVANT a SLAVE of a Alicorn, wich everytime he goes out of Equestria he becomes a Dog, or a Fish. He's a Pet.Β 

Spike is a character who needs a buff, for the sake of "oh no, not that baby again", he would be more respectful as a Ruler of the Dragons not as a baby, but a Dragon.Β

Why did I know you were going to turn this episode into a sex-related issue? Β Either way, yeah, this one was a tad underwhelming. Β I like the idea, but like another said, while it would have been more predictable to have the two get along and Spike become jealous, the conflict we got was pretty stupid. (So much so, I can kinda see why most episodes like this don't do it) I felt this episode was at its best when Thorax and Ember were having a civilized conversation with one-another. Β Before that, admittedly, Thorax kind of got on my nerves. Β He was really playing up the guilt-trip card this time around, which is annoying enough, but the fact that it wasn't even intentional somehow makes it worse.

Spike should just let them both down gently and go back to lusting after Rarity :@(

SpaceTimeDream [2017-08-20 19:24:28 +0000 UTC]

Why can't an episode just be? The episode would have been a tiny bit better if Spike got jealous of his friends getting along without him than another "oh no, my friends going to hate each other"

You nailed this critique - except for the rating. Granted, the episode could have been pretty mediocre or even downright terrible, but Ember's lines saved the whole thing for me. I still think she is one of the best addition to the vast character list of MLP.

But yeah, Thorax is kind of a loser, like you said... :')

Thorax comes across as being a little bit gross

Yeah we are on the same not here. This was another Princess Spike episode. Terrible writing and classic "Spike is messing up again" plotline.

SazerLite In reply to Redfields [2017-08-20 22:48:07 +0000 UTC]

Hahahaha. No.
While this episode is definitely not one of the better ones of this season so far, it's nowhere near as infuriating as Princess Spike.
Unlike the latter, Spike was actually to blame for his actions, he learns his lesson, and said actions had good intentions rather than selfish ones.

Plus why can't he just choose which of the two he wants to shag?

Redfields In reply to Cuddlepug [2017-08-20 16:39:24 +0000 UTC]

He want to shag Rarity but in the end he will shag no one since Ember will end up with Thorax while Rarity going to fall for Capper in the Movie.

No he not, the movie haven't been out yet and nothing has said that he's the love interest of Rarity. Don't jump to conclusions.

They're not his lovers you know. Also, there was an actual danger of the two not liking each other and causing their respective kingdoms to start a war.

GhostWriter434 In reply to Cuddlepug [2017-08-20 14:21:08 +0000 UTC]

I'm not. I'm just saying that Spike sees them as friends and he was worried that their very clashing personalities would cause a war; I felt his fears were understandable. This wasn't a battle of lovers and stuff.

Cuddlepug In reply to GhostWriter434 [2017-08-20 14:22:06 +0000 UTC]

It might be worth rewatching the episode - the obvious lust between these characters is difficult to deny.

Cuddlepug In reply to Geobukseon [2017-08-20 14:12:18 +0000 UTC]

Ideally, he should have avoided inviting both of them for a booty call on the same day. He could juggle them three days of the week each with a day of rest to himself, like God himself.Β

Well it’s like this. Twilights parents drop in out of the blue, they meet Starlight, they notice how much she looks like a pony who used to live next door. Then comes the suspicion, accusations, blood tests, ending in litigation, so use a condom, it will save a lot of heart ache.
