    When Spike sang the song they were all still scowling at him. I thought it was going to be like at the end of Pinkle's "You gotta care, you gotta share song". 

     
    Thorax reminds me of the character Drizzt Doúrden in the book I'm reading. He's a dark elf that grew up in their evil society but never belonged there and wanted to be like them. It's a Forgotten Realms book, The Crystal Shard by R. A. Salvatore.

    Jackalope 

    Come on, they've all heard Fluttershy sing before and they obviously know she's shy.
     
    Zipporwhill is cute. She's like a little hummingbird.
    And this is a super cute Fluttershy episode.

    The Crystalling

    By Fluttershutter,

    Shining Armor and Cadance were so tired. Come on, she's a princess! She must have a nanny!
    They really should have gotten more into what Flurryheart is and why she's so powerful. We know all the stuff about the competing alicorn mythologies. Annoying. 
    Hooves in the eyes. 

    I love this mustache pony! 

    To block Flurry's beams they would have technically been moving faster than light.  Well, like jedi, maybe unicorns have a danger sense that lets them react before the danger comes. And, of course, Pinkie has Pinkie Sense. 
    This totally reminds me of The Dark Crystal:

    And I'm pretty sure this is the first time Twilight's parents talked.

    I really like this holiday special! 
    The song about how the holidays are stressful is so true. I'm already worrying about Christmas shopping.  And holiday meltdowns are a big tradition.
    Charlie Brown  Christmas tree! 



    Fluttershy likes everything!                                                                    Except Holly the Hearthwarmer. 
    Candles are a lazy gift.
    Pudding! 

    Flurryheart looks like Maggie Simpson. 

    The Reindeer were really great Hearthswarming characters.

    Rarity's story was really nice.  But it doesn't make sense why Derpy even knew it was a present for Applejack. 
    The song was such a great ending to this great episode.

    That turtle was really cool looking. 

    Luna and Celestia playing superheroes is awesome.
     
    I agree with Dash. Why? But don't argue with swans. They're freaking dinosaurs.
    Helmets with the horn sticking out don't seem like a good idea.

    Goth Celestia 

    Sunburned horn.  Yeah I think about horns too much.

    Scared of chickens...

    You actually see the sun and moon in the sky together a lot.
    This was a fun episode with lots of cute Celestia and Luna.

    Are you sure these are necessary?

    moving on...
     

    Are pony brains really that small? 
    And random nerdiness nopony will care about: Here they have two toes, which makes the artyodactyles. Regular horses and zebras are perissodactyles. It seems like a meaningless distinction but they're separated by millions of years of evolution.

    Flash bees are cool and scary. Getting stung by a bee really does feel like a little electric shock.

    The Animation
    I thought the animation and pony designs were great. 
    But I really thought the pony mecha Sprout built could have been more interesting. A giant steampunk pony robot, how cool could that have been?
    One thing bugged me. That was that cutie marks were only on their right flank. Hopefully they fix that for the series
     
    Voice Acting
    The voice acting was really good too.
    I wonder if these celebrity voice actors will stick around for the show though.
    I hope Alphabittle, voiced by Phil LaMarr, will be on the show some of the time. Some Samurai Jack references would be cool. "Got to get back. Back to the...tea shop."
     
    Songs
    My favorite song was "Angry Mob". So many good jokes in there. It could be the theme song of the human species.
    I also really liked "Gonna Be My Day".
     
    Random Stuff
    In the map in Sunny's house we see that the Everfree Forest still exists.
    Everything here is written in English rather than ponish. I remember on one of the commentaries they were saying they didn't use a real language so FIM would do better in other countries. I wonder why they changed that here.
    For the first time we see how physically dangerous a unicorn horn can be. Izzy took down a huge tree in seconds! The only example I remember in FIM was that stallion popping balloons.
    I liked all the winged animals. I'm sure it hasn't been long enough for new animals to evolve so they must have been made magically. 
    "Just try not to start a war while I'm gone." You had one job, Sprout!
    The Canterlogic logo reminds me of the Momcorp logo:


    I was interested in the technology all the ponies had.
    Pegesi seemed to be at the same level we are now.
    Earth ponies were maybe in the eighties. We saw bulky old tvs and no personal electronics but a pretty big industrial factory and street cars.
    Unicorns seemed to be basically at the same weird in between level ponies were at in FIM. The main technology we saw was that wooden dancing game powered by running aardvark-mice since there was no magic to power it.
     
    Theories
    Okay let's get the depressing part out of the way. I'm pretty sure everypony we knew(with the possible exception of Discord) is dead. Yes even the princesses. 
    Magic seems to have changed and evolved a lot. I doubt ponies control the sun and moon and weather anymore unless there's some secret cabal that could still use magic. In a lot of stories magic declines as technology increases. And of course the pony races being separated made most of the magic go away. But there was at least one piece of magic left. They all still had cutie marks. And there were at least two more hints of magic: Hitch with the animals and Izzy seeing the "sparkles".
    I think Twilight had a lot to do with this story. Her cutie mark was on Argyle's notebook and I'm sure she created these crystals because she foresaw a time when ponies would break up. She probably created the lighthouse too to help disperse the magic. It probably took all three races working together like the hearthswarming magic. The first time they put together the crystals there was no pegasus there. Then they activated when the three older ponies helped put Sunny's picture together.
    I wonder if other species will be involved in the show. Probably depends on how long it goes on. I'd guess ponies are again scared of them even more than of each other but another story arc about them becoming friends with other species would be pretty repetitive.
     
    Relations
    There seems to be indications that some of these ponies are related to the ponies we know.
    The most obvious one is Hitch having animals following him around like Fluttershy. With magic now maybe he'll be able to communicate with them. Fluttershy having kids with Discord is a whole thing to think about but anyway.
    Izzy obviously seems a lot like Pinkie but there's also that thing where she talks about seeing ponies' "sparkle". Sounds something like Pinkie Sense to me.
    Sunny lived in the lighthouse, her dad had a book with Twilight's cutie mark, the earth pony crystal was in their home the whole time, and she was the one who brought them all together.
    The pegasis royals seem to have something of Rarity in them. That one's pretty tenuous, I guess.
  11. Fluttershutter
    It's weird that they do that whole interview format.
    So was Big Mac supposed to eat all or most of those desserts before he got the message? That wouldn't be too good. 
    Good advice for anyone. 
    Granny Smith dreamed Star Trek. "And Discord was there. He was pretty much the same."

    Problems ponies have: When you really need to pick your nose.

    Twilight really could have tried harder to get Fluttershy to talk to Rarity without telling any secrets.
    It always cracks me up when she sticks a cupcake in her eye. 

  13. Fluttershutter
    This episode is intentionally similar to "Green Isn't Your Color", where Twilight has to keep a secret.  FOREVER!

    Glasses on Fluttershy's tail. I'm guessing they thought it would be inappropriate to put them on the rump. which is how you usually do that joke.
    I could NOT understand the end of this line so I looked it up in the transcript:
    They were obviously trolling us with Applejack's birth certificate.
    And I thought the part where Pinkie fell apart at the end was pretty disturbing.

  14. Fluttershutter
    Fluttershy's not a vet and Spike's sure not.

    Pegasus names can get confusing. 
    Tank was wearing Rainbow Dash slippers and she was wearing Tank slippers. 

    A lot of people said this episode was actually about Tank dying but he was in the show again but only briefly for a couple of episodes.

    School Daze

    By Fluttershutter,

    Rarity looks so scholarly. 

    The lessons on the boards were funny. Ponies have a Pinocchio story! 

    Mental health breaks..I need!  
    Neighsay is voiced by Maurice LaMarche who did Brain from Pinkie and the Brain. I knew he sounded familiar.
    "not everything can be fixed with dresses and cupcakes." 
    Shrimp DO attack. You don't want to mess with a Mantis Shrimp.

     
    Pukwudgies are actually fairy-like creatures in native american myth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pukwudgie
    But they remind me of Crites.

    Rainbow Roadtrip

    By Fluttershutter,

    So generally a road trip is on a road and the story is about the trip. This trip was in the sky and the story started when they got there. 
    Grading papers is not fun. 
    Cute spider 

    Terrorized face 

    This was a cool little special to show them all interacting with some new characters.

    Bridal Gossip

    By Fluttershutter,

    Poor Zecora. 
    Of course this is an early episode before there were all kinds of creatures in Equestria but I've always thought prejudice is worse if the others seem really similar to you like ponies and zebras as opposed to griffins,

    The Parent Map

    By Fluttershutter,

    I've never had anybody spray cologne on me like that but it looks really annoying. But if it smelled like chocolate I wouldn't mind. 
    Yeah I don't the thing of putting all those grains in bread either. 

    Starlight's room

    2, 4, 6, Greaaat

    By Fluttershutter,

    I can see why people don't like this episode. Dash really seemd like kind of a jerk. I guess it was just that she likes buckball so much.
    But she has done cheerleading before:

     
    I got kind of annoyed with them saying "over and over and over again" over and over and over again. 
    Zecora wasn't very helpful with the rhyming, meaning her rhyming is just a natural thing zebras do.

    Frenemies

    By Fluttershutter,

    I'm cute and lovable!!! 

    This thing is called an ophiotaurus. I love when MLP introduces me to new mythological creatures.

    I'm sure I'm not the only one who's wondered what a chair designed for a centaur would look like, am I? This doesn't really work, it's just a human chair.

    Yeah, I'm probably the only one.

    This episode came too late. The CMC have traveled plenty and by themselves. "I thought trains just took you where you wanted to go."? Five year olds should know better.
    Of course no mention of Sweetie Bell's parents. They seem to cease to exist when it's convenient.
    But cute tornado puppy and Dorothy pony.

    Scare Master

    By Fluttershutter,

    Ponies tping! 
    What were they trying to pin to Nightmare Moon in that game?
    That tea party should actually have been pretty scary to them. Pinkie without friends? Rarity not getting her dress complimented. 
    I know the cutouts are anime characters. I see Sailor Moon and Rei Ayanami but I don't know the rest.
