    Some interesting responses. The ones where people say they'd be in awe or dumb-founded, scared, take pictures...these are the ones I think would be most probable. Of course, you can't rule out a certain amount of blind panic as well. Me? Probably like some of you; curious, apprehensive, a little scared, and of course taking pics. I don't think I'd go running off anywhere. For one, I don't have anybody to run to, and anyway, what would it matter, friendly or hostile?

    All the time. It's like the Hotel California and Groundhog Day all rolled into one.

    Apocalyptic ponies, eh? I'd be interested in seeing that. Any posted?

    I'd kinda like to see the Fraggle Rock characters ponyfied.

    I wouldn't be surprised if this ability was bestowed on him by Celestria. After all, Twilight is her pupal and now fellow Princess, so she would need a way to get megs to her ASAP.

    Don't know if your in the US, but if so, check out your local Community College/Jr. College for art classes. Videos can only take you so far.

    I use Windows 7 on my desktop and 10 on my Surface Pro 3. Can't say I'm happy with 10 as it's in a perpetual bata stage, but it is better than 8 at least, which is what my Surface came with initially. I've messed around with Linux ever since the the early Slackware days. I've used pretty much every major distro at one time or another, but none of them have the range of software I'm interested in. I also find support too fragmented to be very useful. Still, I'm glad it's still around and I'll probably play around with it again sometime, just to see what progress it's made. Unfortunately, I don't expect the same from the support perspective.

    Agreed. In an interview with Gerry Anderson, he said one of the goals of 1999 was to be as accurate as possible with respect to how ships would look and fly, how lunar gravity would behave, building construction, that would exist in 1999. Too bad none of it came true, except for the gravity thing. As for the Eagle itself, I still consider it one of the best sci-fi ships out there, because of its realistic approach to design and flight characteristics. In fact I had a metal model version when I was a kid. This one, in fact:

    Let's say your at your favorite eatery, enjoying your meal and gazing out the window. In the distant sky you see a dark speck appear and as you watch it gets closer, and bigger, until it becomes a football field-sized UFO. How would you react? What would you do? Run? Take pics? Jump on social media? What do you think you'd actually do?

    Not bad, but too predictable. And it doesn't help the plot's been done time and again.

    Unfortunately, he's a bit too old for that kind of role. Can you think of a contemporary actor that might fit the cowl? Loved that show. If they did it again, I'd like to see a more dramatic version. Abosolutely. I have both in my DVD library. Course they'd have to call it Space: 2099, or 2199 given our current space program's progress. Little trivia on 1999: It was the first TV show that showed ships actually landing on the ground. Doesn't sound like much today, but back then, it wasn't easy to do. Ah, a pony after my own heart. I was also NOT a fan of the new BG. Hatch's version made so much more sense.

    >...Season 4 ended on 10th May, 2014, while season 5 started airing on 4th April, 2015...so, there's been basically a 5 months delay. Five months? Try a whole year.

    Pinky can really be annoying, especially in Filli Vanilli. Could do without CMC eps. That's all I can think of for now, otherwise it's an excellent show.

    If you mean in the theater, that would be Ferdinand. The last one I watched, period, would be Little Shop of Horrors.

    For Dash and AJ: Since you two are the most athletic, what kind of exercise regiment would you recommend for someone who wants more structure in there exercise?

    I'm a bit all over the map, but primarily anything '80s.

    I heard on the radio today that Netflix is rebooting Lost In Space. For you youngins, it was an old TV show from back in the '60s. A new pilot came out in 2004 but wasn't picked up as a series; you can watch this on YouTube. There's also a movie that came out in '98. The DJ asked the listeners, what classic TV show would you like to see come back as a new series, and I thought I pass that along here. So what would you like to see come back? Me? I'd like to see a new Green Hornet series. I really liked the original that came out in the mid-sixties. It starred Van Williams and Bruce Lee (his first TV role). It was made by the same folks that produced the Batman series, but GH was a bit more darker and dramatic. I also saw the GH movie and really liked it, even though I think it bombed in the theater, and would like to see the same kind of characterizations. I also though Time Tunnel would be cool, but time travel's been done to death. Than I thought, how 'bout Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, but that's already been done as SeaQuest DSV.

    As Maud would say, "Hey."

    Define "cringy".

    Can you differentiate the two? What do you mean by "regular"?

    As usual, I'm behind the curve. What's this about a new gen of ponies?

    It's a toss-up between Gilda and Ember.

    Nope, sorry. TPAM can do dubstep using a tuba (which I'd pay money to see).
