Favorite 2 things MLP has referenced:

Star Trek

S1, E1,

Luna's crime and punishment are very similar to Khan's from 'Space Seed(TOS)' and Wrath of Khan.

Khan attempted to gain control, as did Luna. Also, as Kahn himself said, he was 'marooned for all

eternity on the center of a dead planet.'

S1, E10,

The parasprites in this episode are cute, round, all-consuming reproduction machines. So are the

Tribbles from the TOS episode 'The Trouble with Tribbles'.

S2, E26,

Though this is very vague, the Borg and The Changelings have the same color scheme, black and

lime, they are both ruled by queens, and both come from a very distant land.

 

The Lion King

S1, E4,

When Applejack scares the bunnies into stampeding, they run around a fainted Daisy

(coughcoughMufasahackwheese)

S1, E11,

Near the end, a similarity can be seen to the Circle of Life scene at the beginning of The Lion King.

Many different kinds of animals are all walking in t he same direction. The sun has just come up. And

then Twilight stands on a cliff that looks a heck of a lot like Pride Rock.

S2, E7,

Rainbow Dash and the competing pets are in a large ravine. Suddenly, an avalanche comes and traps

RD, the stampede of animals rushes by, and she screams for help in a very Simba-esque voice.
