Yep, open and on display on my dresser. Can't wait to pick up Cadence and Shining Armor tomorrow!

Shadows. Mischievous shadows. Causing fear by their mere presence in Ponyville or the Everfree.

Yeah, going to have to take the side of Doctor Whooves. 3D glasses ftw.

And added page 5 and 6. Sorry for missing a page somewhere in there. As always, enjoy.

I actually mean to give "Girl meets World" a chance, mainly because I used to watch "Boy meets World" as a kid and I kind of want to see where all the characters are currently at.

I love how the Good Old Doc is so fluffy, pretty good pic, though the Tardis Looks a little askew.
Wow, great catch. Fixed it now. Woot!

Wow! This is AWESOME.
Doctor Whooves looks totally badass here.
Thanks He's always a blast to draw.

Honestly, the only Brony social networking site I recall is Bronysquare, and I wound not using it a whole lot because joining Brony chat-groups on Facebook was easier.
Yeah, http://bronysquare.com/ is the one that I use for the most part, but about the same as I do facebook, twitter, and tumblr really.

I know that the Breezies are from another world. Why else would the Doctor have broken out the 3D glasses?

It might.
However, this idea is based on the premise that people (or ponies) perfectly learn their lessons once it is given to them, which I cannot accept as 100% true. Continuity aside, I think people would have been annoyed with Pinkie's behavior regardless of when the episode was placed, especially since it certainly has to be after "Griffon the Brush-Off".
Also, you seem to imply that MLP:FiM intends a strict continuity in the first place based on episode order. It's easy enough to believe that Filli Vanilli did take place before Pinkie Pride without affecting the series much.
Not as much predicated on learning their lessons once it is given to them and more paying heed to lessons they reached themselves. Pinkie Pie had reached the conclusion on her own and as such the lesson was a realization, an epiphany, earned by herself. These lessons often have greater impact on the individual, and while new situations may challenge these lessons, causing characters to seemingly relapse, this is often an evolution of the lesson itself, adapting for the new, unforeseen circumstance.
For a hypothetical example if I have a friend who I give a playful nickname. Despite the several signs saying he doesn't like the nickname, I continue to call him by such, until I eventually catch. and realize I should stop. I may slip up in the future, calling him the nickname, but the lesson learned would still be in my mind, helping me to overcome my fault, and maybe eventually learn my lesson completely.
In other words the lesson Pinkie Pie reached in "Pinkie Pride" would likely, not certainly, be a factor of her actions with in "Filli Vanilli". I don't find otherwise to be impossible, or for Pinkie Pie to be even acting out of character in relation to former episodes, but it raises the question of "if so, then why?". Why did the lesson she reached in "Pinkie Pride" not factor into her rationale in "Filli Vanilli"?
And while not a strict continuity, there is an implied continuity, which helps us perceive an episode order that is reinforced by the air dates. This is especially apparent within season 4, where episodes often reference former episodes, even the former episodes of this latest season. Again, this isn't a certainty, but the presentation does exist. I do agree though, these particular two episodes could be switched about without affecting the continuity of the show, beyond how it would present Pinkie Pie's actions within "Filli Vanilli". As it appeared by the air dates, one happened after the other, but it doesn't necessarily mean that's the case.
Would people have been annoyed with Pinkie Pie in either case? Yeah, can't imagine otherwise, she made Fluttershy cry for Celestia's sake, but the question is really aimed at those who were annoyed by her actions in "Filli Vanilli", and felt it too contrary to what she had leaned in "Pinkie Pride".

With some out there irritated with Pinkie Pie in "Filli Vanilli", as established by Gilda the fastest way to get you to villain status is to make Fluttershy cry, my friends raised an interesting point. Considering that two episodes ago, in "Pinkie Pride", she learned she should back off when her friends are not having fun, would this episode have been far better placed after Filli Vanilli? Would it have made a difference in how Pinkie Pie was viewed during "Filli Vanilli". or perhaps put her actions in context with "Pinkie Pride" following it, and making "Filli Vanilli" a step to the lesson?

The first answer is contain the threat, and the next answer, especially a fantasy setting, is of course research. The type of zombie matters as curative magic would be completely inappropriate upon the undead, as you cannot cure death, but that doesn't mean that life cannot be restored.
If undead then you must destroy the one who had risen as a zombie and then conduct further research in to resurrection magic, if it exists, to bring the victim back.
If the undeath was caused by a disease, unlikely, then you make sure the corpse is clean of the disease before the resurrection, or they will suffer death, and eventual reanimation.
If the undeath was caused by magic, dispelling the magic upon the corpse should be satisfactory before conducting the resurrection, or they will once again suffer death, and eventual reanimation.
If the victim is not of the undead, ergo alive, then you must use a combination of curative and restorative magic to save the victim, with restorative being to greater priority, or risking their actual death, as what inflicts them may be actually keeping them alive. This is true whether the infliction is magical or mundane in nature.
In any case the means to do such is possible in a fantasy setting, and likely within the realm of Equestria, where the Elements of Harmony and the Alicorn Amulet, both capable of great arcane and/or divine power, and clear indicators of the presence of other artifacts, in case if magical spells wont suffice on their own.
In short I wouldn't lose hope.

I really didn't think I my opinion of an episode could be swayed by a single reference, but seeing the Doctor in 3D glasses and with Roseluck... well, it apparently is enough. Well played. I can say I loved the episode, but did I love it for the right reasons?

I'm definitely in the camp of seeing a Vinyl Scratch episode. The musicians of Ponyville in general would be a killer episode.

Without a doubt this was my favorite toy growing up. My best friend Rapticus.
And yeah, I still have him sitting on my desk.

Just posted page 4. As always enjoy!

Wheeeew *Lightweight exhale* Thanks for answer. Now can imagine that it was just Twilight's dream.
Wait... that means that she was dreaming of Flash Sentry... huh... *due to technical difficulties, Naive Wolf Josh's brain has gone offline, please wait patiently for service to be restored.*

Wow my mind is really blown on how good this is.
Hey, that's really good! Keep up the great work!
It definitely helped having a bit of insomnia last night. I didn't get to sleep till 7 a.m. Oh well, worth it waking up to this. Thank you all.

Again, nice pic!
It look awesome mate
You have a lot of talent
This is AWESOME! I love it!
Thank you both. This idea was another rough sketch that I've been wanting to do for ages. Still have quite a few of those actually...
Oh well, now I'm off to bed. It's funny how tired I felt immediately after finishing this picture. Didn't feel it until I hit "submit".

Please add to the lore... that's all I ask for. Even just a light entry that new would rock so much.
