Dang when he pretended to start calculating I thought Silver Quill was gonna have a Film Theory moment of revalation. One day, we shall know how much a bit is actually worth.
@Champ2stay Those don't really work, as they require a base assumption that the two items being compared are of equivalent value in their respective societies.
Actually, even if you reach the maximum allowable late fees on your overdue item, it'll still likely cost less than buying the book outright, with one caveat: _return the book_ !
Spongichu but then you might end up buying a book you don’t want due to it not being on the shelf to preview and because you wanted it, you preorder and set up a pickup and then pay on pickup and when you open it.... there ya go.
7:30 You have to give Nightmare Moon credit, she’s a very forward thinking and brilliant villain. She covers all the bases and possible ways ponies could try and thwart her from destroying the books containing the spells that could have other ponies raise the sun themselves, to constructing a sustainable and livable society. Makes me wonder what Nightmare Moon could have been as a recurring villain instead of being instantly cured in her first go.
Makes sense though. And you gotta love how the title card sells it! Personally I never realized how serious library fines and penalties could get, that this is a heavier trope than I thought.
7:06-7:45 Excellent point Silver.👍🏻 And when I think about it you would've assume after everything Twilight has gone through, she should've been given some leniency about an overdue library book. Also 13:13-13:22 good question.
not all places! my city’s library system abolished late fees because they felt like it was punishing the people who patronized the library (primarily low income families).
A better idea would be to simply set the limit on checked-out books really low (like two at a time), and not let people check out more until they return the ones they have, like Netflix did with DVDs rentals.
I had to explain a children’s book my mother checked out for my nephew was lost in the same car crash that took my mother’s life to get them to stop sending letters about it being late basically because I was depressed I didn’t have the energy to go to the library like I love doing every Saturday
@@simsgirlgem there is absolutely nothing funny that can be said as reply to this comment. I'm sorry for your lost. Loosing one's relative (especially mother) is never an easy thing to get through And that library that kept nagging you over that dam book, can burn to the ground. Family first Literally everything else second
*amused chuckling* Man, I loved this. Hilarious commentary, an intriguing comparison, and some very interesting lessons and ideas to consider, both in universe and meta-textual. Honestly, well done. Also, it is absolutely wonderful to see new video content from you again. I can't wait to see what you have for us next.
In the early 2000s I lost a library book and went to the library sobbing because I was scared they would ban me. They only made me replace it, which took a while because we were on a military base in another country. Turns out my friends thought it would be funny to hide the book in a board game box, one my family didn't play often. I found it 4 years later.
20:24: Never in my time watching these After The Fact videos have I laughed so hard and so loud. Great Video, I look forward to future Season 9 videos.
Good heavens. I didn’t realize that there were some library‘s that took it personally enough to file charges. When I watched this episode when it first came out, multiple bronies reacted to it on TH-cam, and they clearly weren’t aware of this either. One claimed to actually work for a library, and could say for a fact That it isn’t a big deal, and that library fines cap at A month. Another made the same observation about fines so he must’ve had some experience at least.
I missed this channel so much!!!!! It was like a freaking dream seeing you uploaded again, and oddly timed since I've been rewatching a lot of your vids as of late. Great work!
I've gone through the experience of having overdue library books myself, much like how Twilight has in this episode. While it's not the end of the world, I can understand how it feels to have something like that happen once or twice.
So glad to see you back, Silver! Love your content. I honestly remembered the bit about the Nursing Home a lot more in this episode than I thought I would. Having had relatives go to Nursing Homes, there's a certain attitude that really needs to be seen more in media. A lot of people view Nursing Homes as jokes, but we also treat it like some sort of inevitability. In fact, growing older is given a negative connotation, even though we give the emphasis on coming into adulthood for kids. More media really needs to show 'older' characters living full and happy lives. Just showing them that life doesn't end after you turn 60 is an important message, since otherwise society treats Homes more like prisons, rather than next stages.
Actually, I question why Celestia didn’t send the box via Spike mail to begin with. Pretty sure the only complication would be a bigger burp equaling a bigger flame bust. In which case a letter stating, "go outside" would be sent first.
The Way, more NORMAL Libraries Treat this: After tzhe Payment overgoes the Purchase-Price, the Person, that took the Book simply got to either Replace it, or Pay the Books Price, depending on the Price it costs to re-buy that Book. In one case I know of, the orioginal Book accidently went into the Washing-Machine (Always check the Puches), and it was replaced for 14,95€- not the most -hefty price. Ruining someone's life over a Book is just sick overkill!
14:30 Time to talk about something rather old now. There was a old radio show called The Passing Parade by John Nesbitt (and it did show up on tv) from 1938 - 1949... give or take. Simply put it was a series one reel shorts. One was called Don't You Believe It and this episode talked about historical things that many believe to be true. Such examples being Nero playing a fiddle while Rome burned and the ride of lady Godiva. Long story short the show said that the story of her ride was nothing more than that... a story. It made up by people wanted to discredit her husband and the fact that she was naked was to appeal to people's "base" instinct and to make sure it spread. And for the record this is mostly from my memory because it is rather hard to find most episodes of the show.
16:02 You are right, Silver. The Grimms heard about similar stories told differently and write down what they fell is right for audiences alike. I learned that from the 1962 George Pal film "The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm."
12:10 A big thing also about being old is that you can't really fail. You've already proven yourself in life so there isn't really much to lose by trying something new.
11:54 that might be the fault of the Tree of Harmony or The student six. After Casa de Quill got retconned out of existence, they didn't have a forwarding address. Or worse, used the parchment with said address to see if Smolder could send mail like Spike.
Moondancer has fallen victim to one of the classic blunders - the most famous of which is "never question the Pinkie Pie," but only slightly less well-known is "never go up against the Muffin mare when Brony humour is on the line!"
Splendiforous as always. It's always a good time with your ability to be genuine and sarcastic, comedic and sincere, and critical and apologetic. It creates a delightful balance and I'm always eager to hear your take on the situations this show (and others) presents. Incidentally, I'd like to hear your take on the episode where Pinkie plays the Yavidaphone. It felt like the writers were saying that you should let your friends do drugs ( though I'm sure that wasn't the intention.) I would love to see you try to squeeze something redeemable out of it.
I feel like the portrayal of old folk's homes, in of itself, is a much needed commentary. Which sadly has not been acted on here in Canada. During the pandemic, a big event that happened was that elderly people were abandoned out of fear by health care workers (and a lack of funding). Many of them died where they lay, being unable to take their medicine or eat on their own
Great to see a new vid from ya. Always entertaining yet thought provoking as well~. Never stop being awesome silver~. And Hey~, didn't get blown up or bashed up this time, so yay to that
This was well worth the wait! Thank you for another great video! I throughly enjoy your videos. ^.^ hope to see you at EFNW 2020 as long as it still happens!
If i remember in Bill and Ted they tried to go into the past and saving their parents guitars from being destroyed by their infant selves and it just got worst. A lot worst, and they agreed that they would never do it again.
Great to see another After the Fact and it's just as funny and insightful as ever. Never thought to see a comparison like this, but it certainly led to quite the revelation.
12:11 It fits Equestria which has always been portrayed as very prosperous and reasonably egalitarian. While some areas are clearly richer than others there aren't really any areas that are truly poor. The only ponies who seemed to live in real poverty was in Starlight's village.
@@Tabbimura I believe when he first went back to the library (and it was his elementary school) the same librarian was still there and it was charged some few 100 dollars (forget exactly how much havent seen it in a while, but it was been like 30 years or something like that, but Al tried to "pretend" he 'found the book on the shelve the whole time' so he wouldnt pay, but.. the school had security cameras up (why? idk) and it just going around town and and people calling "over due books" as "being an Al Bundy" and his family even the dog were wearing bags on their heads (for the gag but cause they where embarrass) but in the end Al went back and returned the book and pay his dues (thou didnt didnt actually showed him paying lol) but he gave a speech to the old libarian who said she always hated him as a kid and called him a looser, he gave a speech saying how he isnt a looser and how he drive through live as it is, makes him a winner, (it was season 3 episode 1)
Also, in the flashback from when Al first checked out that book as a kid and traded insults with the librarian, he told another kid, "I swear, one day I'm gonna take that bowl of sugar (the one she was using for her coffee) and pour the whole thing down her gas tank." At the very end of the episode, after Al returned the book and the librarian responded to his speech with something like, "Guys like you never change. You never carry through with your promises." He then said that it was time he started keeping them, and while she wasn't looking grabbed her pot of sugar and walked out.
Pretty sure I made a similar noise when Moondancer appeared in this episode. Not only was her first appearence someone who I could see in both myself and others therefore leaving a huge impression... But she is still best book horse next to Twilight.
Well, this is a pleasant surprise to wake up to. Before I went to sleep I was actually planning this morning to inquire for at least a hint as to the context of 11:58. Now I don't have to. Gracis😁
ok i am so happy this is returning and awesome as always. keep it exilent dude. yeah i can not recall how to spell that lol. but seriously im glad after the fact is returning
I need more passive-aggressive, honey-voiced Silver Quill in my life. It nourishes my soul
🤣💀
This comment deserves more likes.

Preach it
Dang when he pretended to start calculating I thought Silver Quill was gonna have a Film Theory moment of revalation. One day, we shall know how much a bit is actually worth.
I thought a different TH-camr figured that out years ago?
@Champ2stay Those don't really work, as they require a base assumption that the two items being compared are of equivalent value in their respective societies.
Yes
Much like how moons is probably years? Bits is probably dollars
Confound you horatio!
Moral Of The Story: Just go to Barnes & Noble.
Already done!
Or don't go to a library?
or you could just... *slowly lowers eyepatch onto face while sliding on peg leg*

You know she was supposed to be a recurring version in season 1, like opaline in g5, just you know ... hopefully better
I'm so happy everyone is still creating content. I had worried it would stop eith the show. Thank you for still being here, Silver!
I imagine he'll continue making content as long as the passion's there. Hopefully, the passion will be there long enough for him to get caught up.
I thought your profile pic was an hihina from the lion movie
Yes
Twilight's picture on her library card is so cute!
True :)
The Quill of Silver is back lol.
This has got to be the weirdest comparison in MLP EVER.
Lol
Makes sense though. And you gotta love how the title card sells it! Personally I never realized how serious library fines and penalties could get, that this is a heavier trope than I thought.
7:06-7:45 Excellent point Silver.👍🏻
And when I think about it you would've assume after everything Twilight has gone through, she should've been given some leniency about an overdue library book.
Also 13:13-13:22 good question.
...sweet Celestia, people take late library fees *THAT* seriously!?
Literature is SERIOUS BUSINESS 😎
not all places! my city’s library system abolished late fees because they felt like it was punishing the people who patronized the library (primarily low income families).
A better idea would be to simply set the limit on checked-out books really low (like two at a time), and not let people check out more until they return the ones they have, like Netflix did with DVDs rentals.
I had to explain a children’s book my mother checked out for my nephew was lost in the same car crash that took my mother’s life to get them to stop sending letters about it being late basically because I was depressed I didn’t have the energy to go to the library like I love doing every Saturday

Literally everything else second
12:36 The only time Teen Titans Go made me chuckle. Laying it on pretty thick there.
*amused chuckling* Man, I loved this. Hilarious commentary, an intriguing comparison, and some very interesting lessons and ideas to consider, both in universe and meta-textual. Honestly, well done.
Also, it is absolutely wonderful to see new video content from you again. I can't wait to see what you have for us next.
8:28 I think Silver swallowed a dog whistle.
Yes lol
Yeah, my bleeding ear holes can tell
Glad to see your still doing reviews of Episodes, Silver Quill, even after the show ended. Keep up the good work.
Also, 18:53 it’s Genji Pony.
He said "avakas" lol
Silver. You are something special
OMG YOU HAVE MADE MY DAY SILVERQUILL!!! THANK YOU
11:53 That would have been an AMAZING cameo!
11:55 Hasbro makes flamethrowers?... Got one with Fluttershy colors?
Yogurt: "The kids love 'em."
huh, I haven't seen one of your videos in years it's good to know your still as funny as ever thanks for the blast from the past.

Okay, that end joke...... laughed so hard I started tearing up. Very, very good job SIlver.
20:24: Never in my time watching these After The Fact videos have I laughed so hard and so loud. Great Video, I look forward to future Season 9 videos.
Didn't know Bill & Ted had a cartoon and Yet I'd still haven't seen the movies of Bill & Ted
Yea they had one and I remember watchin it when I was young.
Fantastic job Silver Quill. Keep up the good work. Have a wonderful day.
8:24 RIP headphone users.... also, ow.
Also those with sensitive ears. Also ow...
Ooof
Yeah... ouch.

4:10 If anyone was curious, 475 in the DDS is Classical Latin Grammar.
We need more people like you.
I had a CD that I returned a few years late, but the library kept a limit on the late fee and waved it past $25, which about as much as a CD costs.
8:15 OMG thank you! When I first saw Spice Up Your Life I could not for the life of me pronounce his name!
I missed this channel so much!!!!! It was like a freaking dream seeing you uploaded again, and oddly timed since I've been rewatching a lot of your vids as of late. Great work!

A glorious return to a fine series, look forward to more. Keep being awesome.
MLP + Wyld Stallyns + Silver - Quill = a most excellent and much appreciated, soul nourishing time.:)
Be excellent, my dear Silver-Quill.:D
Actually, I question why Celestia didn’t send the box via Spike mail to begin with. Pretty sure the only complication would be a bigger burp equaling a bigger flame bust. In which case a letter stating, "go outside" would be sent first.
omg, Twilight visiting Silverstream as a part of the silver falls thing is HILARIOUS
SILVER QUIIIIIILLLLLL!!!!!! Just what I needed I'm so happy God bless you you beautiful beautiful hippogriff man 😭😭😭💖💖💖💖💖
18:53 That squeak is amazing. I want to make that a sound to something. I don't know what, maybe my Alarm to wake me up but I'll figure it out!

As a person who works at a senior center it can be depressing
I miss your episode reviews. Keep them coming!
All I can say is Be excellent to each other and PARTY ON DUDES!!!!” *Air Guitar*
Amazing video silver. Have a wonderful day
6:03 Case in point: Anything Disney!
Speaking of Disney, I saw Pinkie Pie’s boyfriend at 16:50
I knew returning a late book means you have to pay a fine.
but I never realize you could actually go to jail for it!
Oh my god, the Bill & Ted cartoon. Are you trying to give me grey hairs Silver?!
Patience indeed. Anything to hear that voice again, with the humor that may or may not come with it.
7:05 - There it is. Go get her, Silver Quill!
Lovely review a feathered-friend 😁 Love the points you made while comedic as well
14:30 Time to talk about something rather old now. There was a old radio show called The Passing Parade by John Nesbitt (and it did show up on tv) from 1938 - 1949... give or take.

And for the record this is mostly from my memory because it is rather hard to find most episodes of the show.
That was a good episode. Thanks
It is interesting. Older cartoons were more open to take risky themes. Then all of a sudden they vanished. Now they are starting again.
See, it's videos like this that make me feel old.
I've been watching this channel for a very long time and it has become kinda nostalgic. You've never failed to make me smile :)
Good episode silver, Keep it up!
8:22 Just a time stamp for myself so I can always come back to hear, or at least I think I hear, Silver's excitement over Moon Dancer
4:50
Twilight also is a princess. I mean money is pretty much a non-factor for her.
I’m just glad to have a new analysis, no matter how long it takes !
7:32 Wow, you learn something new every day!
15:14 And sometimes, you learn TWO new things!
I love this episode, i especially loved the part where it showed a flashback with classic unicorn Twilight.
11:53 My Little Pony the FLAMETHROWER! The kids love this one...
I’m already subscribed and I will continue to watch your videos thanks for the review!
16:02 You are right, Silver. The Grimms heard about similar stories told differently and write down what they fell is right for audiences alike. I learned that from the 1962 George Pal film "The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm."
It's nice that your back man with a new after the fact and with more funny moments
12:10
A big thing also about being old is that you can't really fail. You've already proven yourself in life so there isn't really much to lose by trying something new.
Ah silver I'm so glad your still doing these. A thousand bits? That's 500 cherries.
Great to see more stuff from you Silver. Fly on you brilliant bird.
Love your videos. Glad you're still putting them out during these times.
8:27 MY HEARS !!!!
11:54 that might be the fault of the Tree of Harmony or The student six. After Casa de Quill got retconned out of existence, they didn't have a forwarding address. Or worse, used the parchment with said address to see if Smolder could send mail like Spike.
As soon as you asked, "Who's #1?", I knew.
That was a good review. And a good comparison.
And also... 8:26 *Blood bursts out of my ears.* AGH! GAH DANG IT!
SILVER you over grown pidgen your back!!!!!!❤️
Moondancer has fallen victim to one of the classic blunders - the most famous of which is "never question the Pinkie Pie," but only slightly less well-known is "never go up against the Muffin mare when Brony humour is on the line!"

What a fascinating analysis.

Wait that was made into a cartoon?? I guess I kinda remember it? Man I really need to dust off those memory banks!
This was well worth the wait! Thank you for another great video! I throughly enjoy your videos. ^.^ hope to see you at EFNW 2020 as long as it still happens!

Thanks for this!!
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is my all time favorite movie!
( 16:46 ) We create a Dyson sphere ?
Nice to see your still reviewing. Keep chugging along.
And that's why we have Fanfiction too Not just books.
I hate how long the wait is but every video makes it worth it! Keep being awesome!
speaking of tv shows, showing overdue books plotlines, "married with children" did a episode. Al never returned a book from his school as a kid,
How did it end up for him?
@@Tabbimura I believe when he first went back to the library (and it was his elementary school) the same librarian was still there and it was charged some few 100 dollars (forget exactly how much havent seen it in a while, but it was been like 30 years or something like that, but Al tried to "pretend" he 'found the book on the shelve the whole time' so he wouldnt pay, but.. the school had security cameras up (why? idk) and it just going around town and and people calling "over due books" as "being an Al Bundy" and his family even the dog were wearing bags on their heads (for the gag but cause they where embarrass) but in the end Al went back and returned the book and pay his dues (thou didnt didnt actually showed him paying lol) but he gave a speech to the old libarian who said she always hated him as a kid and called him a looser, he gave a speech saying how he isnt a looser and how he drive through live as it is, makes him a winner, (it was season 3 episode 1)

I am shocked! Shocked and amazed! *Someone else* actually remembers the Bill and Ted cartoon series! Is it on DVD anywhere, or do I have to pirate it?
I found episodes available on Dailymotion. Just look them up
Silver Quill is back baby! Hope to see you at Everfree this year!
Another great Video Silver Quill, plus I love seeing Librarians receive a healthy dose of passive aggression.
Well, this is a pleasant surprise to wake up to. Before I went to sleep I was actually planning this morning to inquire for at least a hint as to the context of 11:58.
Now I don't have to.
Gracis😁
The way Silver Quill says eternal night just cracks me up!
Looking back at this makes me see how much can change with book and library’s
Yay Silver put out a new video! Instant love!
ok i am so happy this is returning and awesome as always. keep it exilent dude. yeah i can not recall how to spell that lol. but seriously im glad after the fact is returning
