Between the two, I'd say Dash. As mentioned though, Starlight has some excellent smug/silly faces.

Welcome aboard from Colorado!

They most definitely do here in northern Colorado.

I felt for Twilight in that moment because I've been in that position before, where I've attended some event as a staff or lead organizer and was promised to be able to do literally just one thing, attend just one panel/event/etc., only to get screwed out of it because of a scheduling conflict or something. Not saying I like seeing these characters be miserable and sad, but using moments like that has an undeniable emotional impact on the episode.

Given that Starlight has become an integral character in the past 2 seasons, her only getting a cameo baffled me quite a bit. I suppose the same applies to Discord and the CMC, but I feel like Starlight should have at least been given a few lines somewhere in the beginning.

Other than being sick and the rather empty theater, it was not different than any other movie screening I'd been to. No screaming kids or really obnoxious bronies.

Friends and I went to a later showing at Longmont, CO's theater and all told there were maybe 20 people (including us) in a theater that can sit nearly 100. Unfortunately low turnout seemed to be a trend elsewhere in Colorado as well. That being said, there was really not much in the way of marketing for this movie that I saw beyond the occasional social media update and the early viewings on Thursday were almost not mentioned at all, at least around here. Seems to me like Hasbro may have decided that this movie just wasn't worth putting that much money into for marketing and just wanted to use it to further the toy lines, which is a shame because I thought it was an excellent movie, especially given that it wasn't animated in the same style like the rest of the show has been.

I feel that scene was totally in character and would have felt pretty lame and awkward had she not snapped. As stated by other members, being put under the tremendous stress that she'd been for the entirety of the movie would cause her to do things she might not otherwise do (such as stealing the orb). We have a fair number of examples of her patience being tested time and time again by her friends' shenanigans (iirc mostly Pinkie's but still) and I definitely felt her frustration with Dash over the Rainboom. Incredibly reckless and thoughtless for a group of ponies who are in hiding or protecting someone who is in hiding. Now I'll grant you that AJ, Rarity, and Fluttershy hadn't really done anything to warrant being snapped at like that, and it was pretty crummy of Twilight to yell at Pinkie after she had done...well, frankly, exactly as Twilight had asked. But up to that point, I had gotten the sense that Twilight's friends either didn't really understand the gravity of Twilight's position and mission and as such didn't take it as seriously as they should have or maybe they did but, thanks to prior experiences, figured that Twilight was (as she is prone to do) overreacting and that this new menace would be taken care of no problem like pretty much every other villain they've faced thus far. I felt with Twilight when she finally reached her breaking point and I think the whole scene would have felt wasted had she not snapped like that.

Don't see why not. As stated above he served a fairly important role in the original changeling hive, makes sense that he would continue that role now. Plus the somewhat unique design is indicative of an important role if we use conventional cartoon logic.

Originally from Jacksonville, Florida, but I've lived in Longmont, Colorado since 1996.

Hot days + cramped rooms with no airflow + hours of packing = one overexerted and sick from heat exhaustion Zenith. But it'll all be over next weekend and should be happy days from then on~

I was going to say BBBFF but I'd completely forgotten that this was a thing so...yeah. That.

The standard of road construction and repair/maintenance in the state of Colorado. I've been to 38 states and rarely have I encountered the type of substandard road quality as consistently as I have here in the Centennial State. Now I know that Colorado's population boom has been (and is) incredibly difficult to keep up with and that it invariably will cause greater and more frequent wear and tear on our infrastructure, but whatever material they're using to 'pave' roads and 'fix' potholes and such is of a rubbery consistency that settles very quickly, especially in the hot summer heat that we get here, and makes many such 'repairs' almost like they weren't really repaired. I also rarely see as many blown tires and tire chunks as well as general debris and litter on the side of major highways anywhere else.

I work all around Boulder County and Monday midday the smoke was so bad I couldn't see the Rockies less than three miles away while on the Foothills Parkway. I'm enjoying the tend of sub-100°F days but would love for all the smoke to go away.

I am not religious, nor am I particularly spiritual. I do believe in luck, and I do believe in karma to an extent, but no belief in deities or spirits. I've entertained thoughts of an afterlife or reincarnation though. Not as serious beliefs, but more as 'what ifs' and 'this might be plausible' type stuff.
