Counter_Intelligent: Do they have to reform all the villains?

Yes because A it's a kids' show and B "villain" is cheap way to say "someone exactly like me but opposed to my goals at the moment" and win win is better than win lose or lose lose.

Bust seriously, this episode could have been an hour or two easily. Instead it was over in a minute and a half.

Counter_Intelligent: Do they have to reform all the villains?

I don't think they're going to be able to reform King Sombra, or the Shapechanger from last season.

Of course, King Sombra would need some actual characterization to be reformed...

Roll credits.

cameroncrazy1984: shortymac: Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeee GO Fluttershy GO!

And here is the reason why I will never watch this show. I'm out.

Awwww show me where the mean man touched you...

/Get over yourself

I could have phrased it better.  I wish they would save some potential future sources of conflict.

And corporeality, having been sliced into pieces by having Cadance flung through him.

Twi: Hey, what's this fingernail-looking thing for?
Sombra: GRAAAR*wilhelm*

I think they're gearing up to end, or drastically change, the show. Hence the shortened season and the reforming of the villains.

XMark: Well, that storyline resolved itself pretty quickly.



I'll see you guys later! :-)

Fanboys are going around the bend because of this showing up in official merchandise...



And this is the season where Twilight learns her destiny...

doglover: Hetfield: How the fark did this gain traction on Fark? It boggles the mind.

Because some of us have an IQ and we need to turn our brains off 30 minutes a week to recover from the rest of ya'll.



To be fair, it gained traction everywhere for pretty much the same reason.

It was the Q connection that got me to watch an episode.

And this episode... Damn, they Qed him up even more.

I just hope the wings are temporary

Aw, fark that noise.

It's been pretty much obvious from the beginning Twilight is being groomed to take over for Celestia.

Celestia's getting old... she doesn't have the power to defeat her former enemies anymore. She doesn't even control the elements of Harmony anymore. Bottom line... don't you think Celestia looks tired?

Why else would the ruler of the land take interest in one pony's education? Now, granted, she is the most powerful pony in all the land, which only goes to show she's destined for something major.

Plus, Twilight is sort of Royalty now, her brother being a Prince. And, this is the Destiny year.

You people are normalizing the Caturday folks. Wow.

Because 4chan determines what the rest of the internet will take interest in

And ponyville falls apart if she makes the wrong decision... And some omnipotent being shows her the consequences of that decision... Kinda like how a tapestry falls apart if you pull on a tread or something...

But does she have to be stabbed through the heart by a Parasprite first?

Can't it be both?

Actual episode clip.

The actual moral of that episode was that craft brew > macrobrew.

Ms. Faust, such language! (She's been trolling us all week, almost as if she knew about making yummy delicious chocolate milk rain all over the place without a single dollop of whipped cream to go with it anywhere in sight, not a single dollop...)

Also, 1080p is now up thru EqD.

I'm enjoying how a children's cartoon is going so far beyond that with all the sci-fi connections.

ravenlore: Ok, so the DisQord dialogue that was supposed to blow up the internet?

Was it the "well played" or was it the "friendship is magic"?

Because honestly, i lol'ed at the "well played" but neither of them were "blow up the internet" worthy IMHO

/LOVE the snapping

I hadn't seen the episode myself, and Ms. McCarthy may have been a little biased. I'll cut her some slack. Even if it didn't blow up the Internet, the delivery on "Well-played Jean-Luc" was pure Q, as was "most of the time". (Fluttershy coaxing him to admit that friendship was magic was downright adorable.)

"Perhaps there is a reside of humanity in Q after all. / Don't bet on it, Picard"
"I'm ready to use my magic for good instead of evil... Most of the time."

That few seconds of Discord standing alone on the ice rink, terrified at the sheer boredom of having nobody to play with, and no friends to exploit. Poor fella.

Now the real question is, what's been Celestia's agenda? We have that book from the Season 3 opener, a piece of Sombra floating around out there somewhere, whatever had her galloping off to Saddle Arabia. What could be so important that she actually needs Discord's help to pull it off?

Celestia has an as-yet-unknown daughter named Peaches, who is being held by Donkey King.



Cross over all the universes.

There we go. Maybe every time we hear a Wilhelm Scream, that's where Derpy was supposed to be in a background shot.

EXCUSE ME!?



Does Pauline have to smack a Farker up in here?

doglover: I think they're gearing up to end, or drastically change, the show.

Call me crazy, but I'm not too worried about that.  I don't think it'll happen.  Regardless, I'll give Season 4 a chance.
