This episode is evidence for why ponyhead isn't endearing to me. Also, was that a Japanese or Korean drama?

So meteora is capable of doing the same thing that toffee was doing in the wand? Interesting. Wonder if moon is in the same dimension as Star was in her other form.

Thanks Psxphile for the trailer, next week's episodes look badass!

It was a Korean drama.

And yeah, we know from the extended finale trailer that's linked above that Moon is in the Realm of Magic that Star went to earlier this season. My guess is that Star either isn't going to be able to bring her back home in the finale- whether it be Moon still needs way more time to recover or she's completely out of it and starts dimension-hopping like crazy like Star was doing in the first half of this season, and it'll be a plot point that carries over into Season 4 and used as for why Star remains as Acting Queen of Mewni.

Ha ha Pony Head really is the worse.

Tough Love was a dark episode :-o

EvilChameleon · Mar 31, 2018

I didn't entirely like these episodes.

Psxphile · Mar 31, 2018

Meteora wielding that same green "corrupted" magic Toffee used suggests to me that maybe the Magic High Commission had a point in keeping magic away from any monster... it seems to end up twisted and extremely dangerous when used by them. Or at least with the type of monster with a bone to pick with the Mewni aristocracy... of which I'm sure there were several.

As for Moon, having her soul zapped out seems to have triggered her Butterfly form to go full 'instinctual survival' and she might be out of Star's reach for now (guess we'll find out for sure in the next episode).

I guess the biggest takeaway from all this is the fear of Eclipsa being "evil in disguise" was misplaced and she's a big ol' goof of a mom searching for her daughter and doesn't seem to harbor much ill will against the kingdom itself.

so, this series would be so much better without pony head.

Yeah, I really doubt Moon is going to get fixed by the end of this season. It'll be a plot point that carries over into Season 4 and Star's decision in the finale next week is probably going to be something along the lines of her deciding to remain as Queen full-time.

Yeah, I'm really happy that this show opted not to make Eclipsa a villain in disguise. She's easily the best character on the show imo.

Yeah, that Ponyhead episode was really pointless.

SigmasonicX · Mar 31, 2018

Well this might be a first: I think you guys should ease up on the Ponyhead episode, it was fun. The K-drama was the best part, of course, but I thought the visuals were good and there were nice gags.

Well that took turns I didn't expect. First Meteora being able to suck up souls and get bigger, and then Moon getting zapped, and then Moon being in a weird half-soul-sucked state. It will be interesting to see where they go from here.

As mentioned by others, I'm glad that Eclipsa really is a good person overall.

I didn't necessarily dislike the episode itself, although it was definitely filler material, it's more a general dislike for Ponyhead herself as a character. But yeah, the K-drama bits were definitely the best part of that episode.

Definitely. I knew something had to happen to Moon in this episode due to the synopsis of the finale, but I kinda doubted that they'd go with outright killing Moon, even though I was struggling to think of an alternative option for what they could do with her. This route definitely fits the bill.

I'm really curious to see what kind of role Eclipsa plays moving forward. I'm pretty sure Star is going to remain as Queen in S4, so maybe Eclipsa will be her new mentor during the season?

We can all relate to her then, that's why she's great.

When Meteora dropped Ponyhead's severed horn, I was starting to laugh.

then she should go hang out with Alfonzo and Ferguson.

Don't remind me of the animated variations of Sheldon and Howard from The Big Bang Theory.

SHOTS FIRED.

But yeah, seriously. I get the joke about Ponyhead's character, but that doesn't make her any less obnoxious to watch.

Freezasaurus · Apr 1, 2018

How do you guys not like Ponyhead?! She's great in small doses.

she is annoying even in small doses, but that is the major problem. She hasn't just been small doses recently

I want to see an episode that focused on Toffee's backstory.

screw toffee I want an episode about Janna's backstory :P

Damn straight. Janna is second only to Eclipsa when it comes to the show's best character position.

I'm actually hoping we see Janna interact more with Tom in Season 4. I think that'd be a fun team-up, considering Janna's interest in the occult and her chill attitude and Tom being Tom.

SigmasonicX · Apr 1, 2018

Come to think of it, for someone who's in the opening group shot, Janna hasn't shown up in a looooong time. Or at least breaks give that impression.

Freezasaurus · Apr 1, 2018

Finally got a chance to catch up on the last 4 episodes tonight. Such a good show to binge.

When does it normally air?

I'd need to double check, but I'm pretty sure Janna's last appearance was in the Stump Day special. So yeah, we haven't seen her since December, I think.

it's a western cartoon.... go find a calendar, rip it apart, spread out all the months, and throw a dart into the air and you will have how they decide to air anymore.

that being said as far as I know the end of the season is next weekend :P

Don't mind me too much, I am also a steven universe and milo murphy fan lol. but western cartoon scheduling sucks anymore :/

I watch Steven Universe, too. The gap between new episodes is such a drag.

Saucycarpdog · Apr 1, 2018

Hopefully Meterora kills ponyhead early in the battle.

Also, if hekapoo is in Marcos army, why isn't the rest of the magic high council?

JK, we know this is Marco's waifu squad she can't be absent that!

Psxphile · Apr 1, 2018

The Marc-nificent Seven is a pretty good team name, I guess.

I would have also accepted Marco's Rough Riders.

TheGreatDirector · Apr 1, 2018

Eclipsa is such a good character. She's honestly my favorite part of this season so far.

LOL

Hey now...Princess Ponyhead isn't my fav either but at least she's not a product of awful executive meddling.
Like, she's been a part of the Star Vs concept since it was a webcomic.
Alfonzo and Ferguson on the other hand were only added to the show because the higher ups at Disney essentially forced Daron Nefcy to give Marco male friends.
:P

Inugami · Apr 3, 2018

So catching up on the first half of the season since I didn't watch it and only recently got cable... Wow, this seems pretty evil for anyone following from the start. 5 episodes into the season and the main threat hasn't been addressed. I'm guessing this is the single longest running continuous arc in the show so far right? Looking forward to tonight, after tomorrow I think I'll be all caught up.

Psxphile · Apr 5, 2018

somewhat foreboding

Ooh, that's a great piece of art. Definitely foreboding.

I still think Star's going to come out of this in charge of Mewni. If she abdicates the throne to Meteora here in the finale, my money is on S4 essentially opening up with a Battle for Mewni 2.0 that culminates in Star ascending to the throne.

Psxphile · Apr 7, 2018

Late night reminder that the Season 3 finale Divide & Conquer airs Saturday morning (that's tomorrow/today depending on your timezone!) @ 11AM!

And also that the new episodes have been on VOD for the last 2 hours...

Saucycarpdog · Apr 7, 2018

I loved that these episodes had a very nice amount of action. Also, FINALLY they address Marco's 16 years of fighting Hekapoo.

Whoever guessed that Moon would still be missing by end and Star would stay as Queen into the next season was right. Should be exciting to see Star have to finally make some tough decisions and maybe make some sacrifices.

Deleted member 401 · Apr 7, 2018

Keith David is way cooler than Jeffrey Tambor even disregarding Tambor's recent awfulness. Hell of a voice change, though.

Epcott · Apr 7, 2018

I want to see the episodes badly.

Why are they subjecting us to watch Brave, the Pixar film worse than even The Good Dinosaur, but not as bad as Cars 2?

EvilChameleon · Apr 7, 2018

Fucking. Awesome.

Epcott · Apr 7, 2018

That was good! So I guess...

Eclipsa is acting queen and will be looking for a way to free Globgor, Moon is missing, Star is just a normal girl, and the castle is in shambles.

Wait, or is Star still the queen, just without the wand? Wonder if she still has her butterfly form after that final burst attack on Meteora?

That's pretty shocking. At least they still have corn!

Psxphile · Apr 7, 2018

Seems like Star sacrificed her Butterfly form for that last attack, but I don't think she's completely drained of magic potential. Especially now that she's wand-less, dipping down is all she'll be able to do. Then again, I also don't think she'll be wand-less for too long. I figure it'll be back in her hands a few episodes into Season 4 when a new threat establishes itself.
