Headcanon accepted. Also, the pony version of the Hartnell Doctor appeared in the comics. Specifically, the Celestia issue of the Micro-Series. The Fourth Doctor appears in the Nightmare Rarity arc alongside the Tenth Doctor, who appears about five or six times throughout those comics. I'm too lazy to extract an image of him for illustrative purposes.

To quote the Ghost Writer: "Oh crud, nothing rhymes with orange!" Sorry, but seeing another Phan put me in the right mindset. Especially since I revisit that very episode every Christmas.

For me, this is possibly the best Friends Forever comic yet. Rarity and Applejack's interaction was the highlight, of course, but the worldbuilding and cultural references were also wonderful. For example: the train that they take to Salt Lick City is NOT the Friendship Express. It actually looks like a proper locomotive and train, all done up in red and gold instead of gingerbread. Regarding Mount Monument, my thought process was that: They just have Celestia. She would think carving a mountainside in her likeness... excessive. Cadance ascends. Still a filly, the ponies reason: 'Let's wait until she's grown up before remodelling mountains.' (Especially if they end up not liking what she grows up to be.) Luna has been returned! And Cadance is a beautiful young Princess that they all adore. Let's carve that mountain. Notice how all three seem to be carved together, as if they were done at the same time? The ponies finish, Mount Monument is opened to much fanfare - and then Twilight ascends and they have to go back to add her visage. (Since her image is physically seperate from the other three and facing an entirely different direction.) I know it's a ponified Mount Rushmore and all, but it explains the sculpture without saying: 'Oh, Celestia and Starswirl saw the original on one of their mirror trips and decided to have it copied' or something of that nature.
