Celestia's Preparations

[GoldenShield 46]

Something occured to me recently, training Twilight to become a princess, reforming Luna and Discord, regaining the Crystal Empire. Is Celestia preparing for something, has this all been heading towards some enormous conflict that she didn't think she could handle on her own. I just can't help but feel that this might be heading towards something big in later seasons, or at least it would be cool if it did! Some kind of huge thing happening that ties the entire show together would probably make for an awesome series finale when the show does eventually end.

 

 

Also, on an unrelated note, what happened with Luna's book, remember all that buzz that Luna's black book generated when it appeared in the season 3 premier. Just wanna know if anyone still thinks that will have some relevance to the plot, I mean maybe it actually was just a little random detail animation that was added and has nothing to do with anything.

 

 

Anyway I guess my real question for you guys is where do you think this show is going? Where is it headed in S4 and beyond? Any thoughts on this are appreciated!

That book is Chekov's Tome. It's importance is practically thrown in our faces. I was expecting the very next episode to deal with it. At this point, I'll be mildly startled if it actually shows up.

 

As far as Twilight's training, I figured that her primary purpose was to get Celestia's sister back. Secondarily, she is one of the most powerful unicorns around - her talent is magic as a whole, after all - and keeping her from turning into some sort of loose cannon would probably be advisable. The fact that she's now bearing the Element of Magic kind of obligates Celestia to keep her friendly.

 

And I would like to see the series end on some kind of battle royale that brings everyone back together for one massive conflict. If you've got a bad enough bad guy, you can even bring unreformed villains in on the good guys' side.
