Sports? Not sure if want. Given a certain preview clip I've seen, though, this episode is already made for me <3

And may the odds be ever in your favour! ...oops.

 

Man, this episode sounds so appealing. Hopefully we see some of the actual events at these Equestria Games - we all love our games events n.n Looking forward to some \central Rarity\ as well.

[Shift 4,272]

This is a Hunger Games episode I called it.

 

Anyway, this seems interesting. Can't wait to see how Bronystate will react X.X. If they have discus as an event...OOH! Crystal Discus!

 

I'mma goin' on Bronystate now to watch their ridiculous reactions.

[Batbrony 16,054]

Um, it's episode 12...

Anyway, I agree about the preview clips, should be great.

[An Old Head 4,816]

Who else was initially very confused by that opening?

[Radiance64 7,053]

Holy crap, parralel to the last one, cool.

[Bucky McGillyCuddy 956]

Wow the season finale looks way more intense than i thought it would be. Elements of harmony anyone? Almost knocked the air out of my lungs.

When that crystal mud turned out to be bouncy, I can guarantee everypony's reaction...

 

"Gak."

[ReGen 1,466]

Crystals, crystals, everywhere!

Crystals, crystals, they're in the air!

 

 

....I just made that up. You like?

 

Anyways, this looks to be an exciting episode. Maybe we'll actually meet Dashie's family.

[Twiliscael 3,960]

Cadance's voice actor seems like she doesn't want to be there anymore. As if she's just reading straight off the paper with as little effort as possible.

 

Also, she seems out of character to me. Cadance just seems alot less optimistic and happy than she used to, if you ask me. She almost cries. I don't think Cadance would have ever been so distraught that she'd be brought to tears.

I like cadence's old headdress! It looks funky.Y U wanna change it?

 

Anyway, the inspector is really...strict. I also like the country pony.

[Radiance64 7,053]

The 'games inspector' stole Rarity's glasses.

[Shanks 10,816]

Woah that opening seriously made me go WTF? And LOL oh man poor Rarity she is so nervous it is going to be tough to fix that mess with Cadence's mane.

Ya know, I think this every time Twilight and Cadence greet each other, but seriously, they're going to do that "Sunshine, sunshine" greeting EVERY... SINGLE... TIME they see each other?     Just a bit much, if you ask me.    Anyways, this episode is great so far! 

[An Old Head 4,816]

"I am Gunnery Shining Armor, your senior drill instructor!"

[ReGen 1,466]

Shining Armor's a pretty good coach.

 

And OH MY GOD. THEY THEY HAD THE WRONG PONY ALL ALONG, THAT IS HILARIOUS.

[Batbrony 16,054]

OH, RAINBOW SPLAT!!!   Oh my, that hurt to watch!  Not gonna lie, this might very well be the funniest episode this season!!!  Definitely been quite a surprising treat of an episode so far! 

[Radiance64 7,053]

Shining Armor actually has some personality now...

Also, Pinkie Pie is so overdramatic in this ep, luvvit.

[An Old Head 4,816]

Some of my thoughts:

 

- Being a tour guide probably isn't Pinkie's thing. :3
- Did Rainbow Dash learn nothing from the Dizzitron?

- I still don't know why that green pony's cutie mark is a chicken.

[XrosOver 613]

So anyone else think it was really clever to have the last episode and the current one occur at the same time? I really think that was smart. 

[Flutterdash. 52]

I can't stop staring at the "games inspector's" cutie mark. A chicken. seriously?

I squee'd so hard at FlutterDash hoofbump. <33

And all of that continuity especially at the ending!!!

New favorite S3 episode detected.

Seriously, all the stuff in this episode was awesome, and I only missed 30 SECONDS OF THE BEGINNING BECAUSE OF STUPID ADS.

[Shift 4,272]

Episodeception! So that's why they went to the crystal empire, that's what they were doing when spike was slaving away at home...

[Bucky McGillyCuddy 956]

I thought how the episode crossed over with the last was really clever. As for the episode its self it was pretty cool. I was so certain that the annoyed looking Stallion at the front of the cart the mane 6 were in was the games inspector but i was mistaken.
