S03:E01+02 - The Crystal Empire

[Mu Nova 66]

Pinkie is always reminding me how I'm unfond of the direction she's been taken after season 1... :/

 

But anyway. Lol, glad Shining Armor didn't get ensorcelled/controlled again.

[Betez 1,734]

I'm watching it right now. This is getting so good. SEASON 3 IS FINALLY HERE! I can't wait to see how the crystal empire is gonna play out

[Flicker Sweet 3,391]

Armored Dashie!

[akita-ken 581]

Poor Cadence seems to be having a really hard time keeping whatever protection thingmajig that's holding Sombra out of the empire

[Princess Snowwie 126]

Im goin to miss the season premiere but on the bright side, im recording it on my DVR and plan on watching it on Youtube!!!!

[Flicker Sweet 3,391]

Holy fucking shit! They gonna be pissed! XD

[Victor van Dort 202]

The black smoke that Sombra resides in reminds me of the black demon smoke from Supernatural.

[Mu Nova 66]

Knew there was a reason that cut heart looked absolutely horrible.

 

And that part-1 ending wasn't nearly exciting as Canterlot Wedding. lol

[Starswirl the Trixie 975]

Not sure if I buy the new canon. they need to add better context. Perhaps it'll make more sense when the crystal ponies remember things.

[Flicker Sweet 3,391]

Fucking commercials go away!!!!!!

[Radiance64 7,053]

First episode was flippin' amazing.

So the cliffhanger was Cadance fainting, it was inevitble considering her condition. Now time to fight Sombra!

[CaptainLuna 50]

this just got real but great first episode king sombre but to wreak some shit up it seems and poor Cadence and i cant beleive shinning armor still has that black stuff on him

[TailsIsNotAlone 3,695]

Well, we've got trouble now...so the heart is an actual relic that's used to protect the kingdom, and Twilight's only got the fake one she made. Maybe they'll still be able to use it.

 

This Sombra guy had better be as evil as he looks...we haven't had a really horrible male villain yet.

[NavelColt 22,879]

If Twilight goes one on one with Sombra I will legitimately shit bricks.

 

He's definitely the next bad-ass. He's already show to have crazy powers, and he's not even in full form yet. After Discord, I'd say he's the most powerful villain.

 

I can't wait to hear what his speaking voice sounds like.

[Starswirl the Trixie 975]

So, the empire has always needed a massive amount of magic to protect itself from exterior threats?

 

What threats, exactly? Couldn't have just been Sombra.

[akita-ken 581]

Not sure if I buy the new canon. they need to add better context. Perhaps it'll make more sense when the crystal ponies remember things.

 

Yeah somehow it feels kind of rushed, a lot of new canon is suddenly being thrown at the viewer. But oh well time to see what part 2 has in store

[Radiance64 7,053]

That chipped horn is gonna be bad news.

[Starswirl the Trixie 975]

Sombra's horn dissolving must be Chekhov's gun. That'll be how he dies, surely enough. This is a Twilight-centric episode, should be interesting

[CaptainLuna 50]

Wait so Twilight going to solo this mission because the rest of the five need to run the fair couldn't like half of them stay and half go

[PonyEcho 1,610]

ok is finally here yay. and my laptop crashed so imised the firs 15 minute, so let me make one point.

 

DERPY IS STILL IN THE INTRO there I feel much better now

[CluelessLlama13 55]

Part one felt really fast-paced One thiing to the next to the next to the next!! And two songs already!!!!

 

This is so freaking intense!!!! OH MY GOSH!!!!!!

[Radiance64 7,053]

Spike is gonna help for once, kewl.

[Flicker Sweet 3,391]

Why is RD being such a bitch in this episode?

[Victor van Dort 202]

Lol, Pinkie and that horn.

[spas-ticShotty 3,584]

I dunno what it is, but when I saw Cadence creating the shield just before Sombra comes in, it heavily reminded me of the alien's force field from Battleship . A blue hemisphere, reaches very high in the atmosphere. I guess it's because both Battleship and MLP are Hasbro products .

 

I love how Applejack is trying to get the ponies away from that heart-shaped rock or whatever .
