Your Episode Ideas

Shawn Parks · March 9, 2013

Here's a new idea I had.

A stallion, let's say Thunderlane just to be amusing, starts dropping hints that he's interested in Rarity. She, on the other hand, is completely missing it. Pinkie Pie figures it out, though, and tries to get them together. Hilarity ensues.

I had a similar idea. I thought that there should be a stallion that had a crush on Pinkie Pie, but she thinks that he just wants to be friends.

"In Your Dreams" - Luna invites Twilight to the world of dreams to search for the source of a terrible curse that's been haunting dreams all over Ponyville. When Twilight finds out that it was one of her magical experiments that caused the problem, she tries to cover it up and fix it without Luna's help. She ends up trapped, and just as she begins to feel utterly hopeless, her friends appear to save her. In a flashback, it's revealed that they had been worried about where Twilight was, and Luna had let them join her on her search. The moral of the story is to be honest about your own mistakes, and to not be afraid to let friends help you fix them.

"A Dash for Justice" - Rainbow's prized Wonderbolt Academy graduation certificate is stolen, and she lets her irrational suspicion of her "jealous" friends get the best of her. She deduces which one is responsible behind their backs, and eventually decides to take "revenge" by way of a humiliating prank. In the end, she finds that if she had just trusted her friends and asked them nicely about it, she would have found out that it had fallen behind her dresser all along.

She's not doing this "just for fun". She's got a plan. Remember when she said that she has use for Discord's Chaos Magic if it can be reformed to serve good instead of evil? ;->

Well, of course, I didn't say she was "doing it just for fun", but what I was saying was that it does show that she and Equestria are willing to forgive those who have hurt them and befriend them. And the Changelings powers can also be used to the Equestrians' advantage.These guys would OWN espionage and guerrilla warfare.

hmm, this is probably going to happen, but an episode when everyone treats Twilight differently just because she is an alicorn and how she wants to be treated just like the old Twilight and gets rid of her wings. ^_^ Okay, forget the last part, but everything else is likely to happen.

...Except for Spike. Spike is the one character who wouldn't have his relationship with Twilight changed in any way by her new wings, making him a perfect voice of reason for such an episode, à la Lesson Zero. Twilight has always been a crazy powerful, crazy... crazy mom/sister/thing to him, and the one impact that wings could have on that is increasing Spike's sarcasm levels.

Twilight: "Spike, now that I'm a princess, I'm going to have to act like a princess. You know how ponies revere me!"

Spike: "Well excuuuuuuuse me, princess."

Seems possible, but I for one hope it doesn't happen and that Twilight just doesn't get treated any differently in the first place. Twilight is probably gonna be the centre of enough season 4 episodes as it is. (speculation rant over)

Exchangelings! Come on, how did you not think of that one?

Actually, I did, but I didn't write it because I personally regard such portmanteau words quite lame ;-) So I've left it as a two-part title.

I thought that there should be a stallion that had a crush on Pinkie Pie

My godess! What stallion could keep up the pace with Pinkie? She's a real

;-)

Luna invites Twilight to the world of dreams to search for the source of a terrible curse that's been haunting dreams all over Ponyville.

Great idea! Since I'm a lucid dreamer, everything involving the dreamscape gets automatically a brohoof from me ;-)

Well, of course, I didn't say she was "doing it just for fun"

And I didn't say that you've said that, but "in general" ;-) Sorry if you've thought that.

And the Changelings powers can also be used to the Equestrians' advantage.These guys would OWN espionage and guerrilla warfare.

Oh yes they'd surely do! Powerful allies could they be. But what could they get from Ponies in return what couldn't they took themselves? ;-) Well, you could say "their friendship", but would it be enough for Changelings? There must be some reason they want to invade Equestria. Why would they want to do that? What would they want to get from it?

an episode when everyone treats Twilight differently just because she is an alicorn and how she wants to be treated just like the old Twilight and gets rid of her wings.

Wings come, wings go... :-) If they could appear out of thin air, why couldn't they disappear back into void the other time? ;-) To be honest, I really want to believe this Twilicorn stuff was just a bad joke and everything will get back to normal in the 4th Season as being just a bad dream or something.

and the one impact that wings could have on that is increasing Spike's sarcasm levels. Twilight: "Spike, now that I'm a princess, I'm going to have to act like a princess. You know how ponies revere me!" Spike: "Well excuuuuuuuse me, princess."

:-D

If being a bookworm sucks, then being a royal bookworm with wings... sucks royally ;-)

It's cool, mate.

Well, they flat out stated WHY they wanted to invade Equestira, to feed on their love. But if there was a way for Changelings to feed off love without harming the ponies, then maybe a way could be formed for Changelings and Ponies to live in peace.

I wouldn't be so sure. As far as I know, Lauren Faust is no longer working on MLP:FiM. Now it's Meghan McCarthy who is the head writer. Also, Rob Renzetti has left the crew to work for Disney Channel's "Gravity Falls" (apparently, all these rainbows were too much for him, which can be seen in his new creation).

Oh, I pray for this happening...

Nice idea ;-) I wonder what if Humans could be one of these "fairy tale creatures" in this fantasy world for Ponies ;-)

Whaat? No moral? What are you, M. A. Larson? ;-)

You forgot the Rock Farm.

Meghan McCarthy was once asked on Twitter about moar episodes with Changelings, and she answered that Changelings appear in every episode, just they're morphed into background ponies so you never know which one is real and which one is a Changeling ;-)

She's not doing this "just for fun". She's got a plan. Remember when she said that she has use for Discord's Chaos Magic if it can be reformed to serve good instead of evil? ;->

Nice idea! I like it :->

A good twist indeed :->

"Changeling's Exchange"? ;-)

And a jealous Spike.

shes looking for roots scince the rock farm lost them somehow, so now there could be family members that shes doesnt know about

but yeah she has her sisters and parents back at the farm but pinkie being pinkie proably has the same attacment to family members that she does freinds not to mention, im not so sure that she left freely to live at sugarcube corner she doesnt seem like the pony to just leave her parents, lots of frriends in ponyville or not.

"Live and Learn"

Trixie returns, intent on becoming Twilight Sparkle's student.

"Rite of Passage"

Hoping to start diplomatic relations between the ponies and dragons, Twilight and Spike journey to the Dragon Mountains. There, they meet the great dragon sage, who was expecting them. With his help, they must earn the trust of the other dragons by holding back an ancient evil the dragons fought.

"As Good as Gold"

The Goldhorn King visits Euqestria, intent on asking for Celestia's hoof in marrage. He does not take rejection well...

"Return Home"

Zecora is called back home and her friends insist on accompanying her.

"Choas is Magic"

The gates of Tartarus have broken and everyone must scurry to gather the monsters. As they do, they find that Twilight is acting rather cold and the elements of harmony are not working properly. When they confront her on this, she reveals that she is Crysalis, intent on taking revenge. She leads the ponies in a race against time to find Twilight and re-capture the beasts of Tararus.

NomDeSpite · March 13, 2013

My episode idea is that Equestria Girls spinoff is scrapped and is instead replaced with a "City Of Clipsville" (Powerpuff Girls) or "Anthology Of Interest" (Futurama) style episode. It would be in this episode that we see what all the ponies would look like as humans. Not a whole series. There are a number of ways they could do this. Maybe it could be a spell that Twilight creates that accidentally humanizes everyone. Maybe it could be something floating around in Pinkie's imagination. Maybe alot of alternate realities exist and the Mane Six have to travel through all of them on some sort of quest. I can't see the "ponies as humans" idea having that much steam. We have the internet and fanfiction to satisfy that craving.

Title: Fear Through the Eyes of Madness OR Fool For A Day, Princess For Life

Story:

Things around Ponyville begin to get strange as Twilight Sparkle finds Discord acting orderly and tame. When approached, Discord reveals he is tired of causing chaos, and wishes to be normal, even if it's for just a day. Twilight Sparkle then decides to use a spell to temporarily switch places with the mad-god, and Ponyville quickly finds itself in a category 5 chaos storm, if only for a single afternoon.

Moral:

Sometimes it's nice to have a change of pace every once in a while.

Shawn Parks · March 14, 2013

My godess! What stallion could keep up the pace with Pinkie?

I don't know that any stallions could keep up the pace with Pinkie Pie. I just think that there must be stallions in Ponyville who have crushes on her. "Too Many Pinkie Pies" had to be a dream come true for at least a couple of guys in town. And I bet they were pretty bummed when the Pinkies were gone.

The-Master · March 14, 2013

Here's my own episode idea. I think it has some potential.

"A Buck is Given"

-In this episode, Applejack actually learns something.

You're right, that would be a cool episode! Even though she's already learned something many times, the whole point of the show is for the ponies to learn, right?

I knew this would happen. Huh, well I can't say I'm surprised. I guess thats what I get for making another joke about one of the mane six. Doesn't really matter, have a nice day.

Derpular · March 15, 2013

Twilight Sparkle welcomes a new, studious pony into town, only to be bested by him/her after her and the student's knowledge is put to the test.

I know this was written a long time ago, but this idea reminds me of an episode of Aaahh! Real Monsters, I forgot its name.

TWILIGHT iS OBLINA. YES.

MMFAN · March 16, 2013

I don't care how cliche it is. I want an episode where a spell gone wrong turns all the mane 6 back into fillies and somepony (Big Macintosh, Cheerilee, Zecora, whoever) has to babysit them while trying to find a cure that will turn them back into adults.

Well, i'm writing a fanfic that essentially this... so it's close I suppose. Here's the link to save you from hunting it down. Thanks. =)

An Old Head · April 7, 2013

I've just thought of an episode that I reckon would go down really well. We know that when a pony discovers their cutie mark, their destiny is sealed. However, what about an episode where we meet an adult/elder pony who still hasn't got their cutie mark? A very saddened pony who's never been able to realise their destiny, and has continued being a blank flank their whole life; the only one to ever do so.

Then the Mane 6 could motivate them into somehow finding their destiny, the CMC would play a part in it, and something would happen to make the whole thing super touching.

SasQ · April 7, 2013

Wow, what a coincidence!

Yesterday I was thinking about the very same idea o_O

But I thought that it is not yet developed enough, and I forgot about it.

It would really be a good idea for an episode.

And if not an episode, then at least for a fanfic.

Edit:

Another coincidence:

Somepony have just brohoofed my post in the thread "What would your cutie mark be?"

I've discovered my special talent pretty late, so I'm very like the pony in your episode proposal.

Blue Moon · April 7, 2013

As much as it used in a lot of TV shows, I would like to see an episode where some of the characters are turned into colts or fillies, respectively, and another character has to take care of them.

SasQ · April 7, 2013

Well, there were Unicorns turning into Alicorns in the original show already. Who could top that? ;-J

Also, in "Magic Duel", Applejack turned into a stallion, and there were some age spells used too.

But you're right, a whole episode devoted to that idea could be very interesting :-)

Dzastur · April 7, 2013

I'd like to see an episode in which a male pony wants to befriend Rainbow Dash, but that others poke fun about it being girly and her "getting a boyfriend", or that it means she won't make time for the other female ponies. The lesson ends up being that it really is possible for male and female ponies to get along as friends.

SasQ · April 7, 2013

Nice idea.

And there could be another lesson in it, when you mix these two together: Her friends can poke fun about it being girly because they're afraid of losing her to him ;-) One more twist in the plot, I guess ;-) (hidden motive)

Yup, that's exactly the idea: this gets revealed when Rainbow Dash chips away to find out what they're really worried about.

It's a loose framework, but I'd also like an episode in which someone like Pinkie Pie or Twilight is commissioned to make a "Welcome to Equestria!" video to help boost tourism. It would be animated in a semi-shaky camera style. Each pony or cast member gives a vignette for the camera about themselves and what they do - and, during the course of the episode, we learn all sorts of new info about them. No one's off limits: Discord and Trixie could get interviewed too, for example. It could be really funny. I see a bit where a castle door is opened, and Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are very briefly shown on a couch, playing video games together. That sort of thing.

Where the story would go is another thing.
