that bit looks really stupid as does twilight still looking up to starswirl despite surpassing him and becoming royalty. hopefully they handle this alicorn stuff better than these clips suggest.
So you're saying that once your talents surpass those of your heroes you're supposed to suddenly lose all respect for them? What kind of a jerk does that? I'm pretty sure there's still plenty a rookie like Twilight can learn from Starswirl's work.
Well, there's a drinking game with episode 3. Whenever Pinkie says "Fun!", take a sip.
Do NOT do this!
Other than that, it has some of the best and some not so good episodes in it. Interestingly, it's sort of divided which are which, so that might be a good thing. "Sleepless in Ponyville" is some of the best pony of the series in my opinion.
And yeah, take your time, we have a long time until season 4.
Thanks for the tips! I'm a little too excited to find out what happened in these episodes to ration them until the new season starts. I'll be fine with checking out this thread and other pony media, plus there's always GAF and a bunch of other stuff I can check up on to keep me busy. Plus, I'm sure spoilers, interviews, and general teaser details will trickle forth in the coming months to keep me sated.
You guys are seriously spoilering a Hot Topic minute that may or may not have had 2 seconds of footage from season 2?
It was funny (though it didn't sound like Tara). If there's one thing I want to take away from this, it's that Twilight will not be wearing the princess jewelry all the time.
And for the people complaining about continuity, hovering is far more difficult that just flying forward.

It may just be a two second clip, but it's all the information we have on season four, so yes, it's silly to spoiler so little on its own, but we are actually tagging 100% of the known info.

I hope Rarity is still a goddess.
Which is exactly why you put it in spoiler tags/ I don't see what's so difficult about this concept? On the flip end, is it that hard to highlight spoilers if you don't care about them?
uuuuuugh I pushed the no ノ and na ナ together in my mind so it looked like a ke け... and that's a hiragana ke and not even a katakana ke ケ
It looks to be about 95% tedious financial jargon, but at the beginning they say of MLP:
Hasbro said:

Q: Is Twilight supposed to be immortal now?
A: Yes (for the purposes of this discussion, because maybe she's not).
Q: Are Twilight's friends going to remain mortal?
A: Yes.
Q: Then Twilight will outlive all of her friends...
A: No.
Q: Why not?
A: Because that will never happen. Her friends will almost certainly never die in any official canon.
Q: But they have to. It's simple logic. A leads to B leads to C.
A: No, they do not. A leads to B. End of story. You can assume that B leads to C (maybe the writer even prompted you to assume that), but if that's not part of the story, and if it's at all possible for the story to play out differently (maybe B will jump to D, or any number of alternate scenarios), then the end of the story remains "open". B leading to C doesn't exist, and if the story doesn't progress to that point, then it will never exist, outside of your own headcanon. And it's a near-certainty that the story will never progress to that point.

Love working with Andy Price...finished up the second Ponypalooza event in town at our public libraries...one more next month. Anyhow, the ponies are a huge hit, kids and adults love them.
I was Applejack, while my sister was Rainbow Dash and I had a couple of friends alternating wearing Twilight. One of the best highlights from the event was with the last pic...we were pointed out by the library workers that the little girl had down syndrome, so we took the extra time to focus with her and interact with her...good god, you should of seen her, she had tears as its probably the happiest she has ever been...Her favorite pony was Dash so my sister did all she could to make her day a really awesome one.
This. I don't see any reason to assume Alicorn = Immortality. It sure would suck for Cadence to have married Shining Armour knowing she'd outlive him, possibly by millennia!
Makes me wonder if Celestia had other students over the past thousand years. If she did and they were made Alicorns, where are they now?
We know other royalty in the show didn't live forever. The Princess in the Hearts and Hooves day story (if she was an alicorn that is), and the original Crystal Empire princess.

Meghan claims she has no idea who Sunset Shimmers is. While she does enjoy trolling the fans a bit, I don't think she's out and out lied about anything yet.

New Villian goes by the name of King Somber (Black alicorn we ran an event for)
Discord Is pretty much 100% Confirmed
Luna's Abandoned Moon Colony joked about, history of Celestia and Luna Coming up
Interest in visiting the Griffon Kindom
Official Soundtrack probably on the way More Manehattan
All season 3 songs from the first Comic Con are from episode one
Hoofed mammals can talk, while others cannot

Technically, the question was "Is Sunset Shimmer going to be a Season 4 storyline?" and Meghan's answer was "Nope."
It's possible that SS's going to be a season 5 storyline, or Meghan might feel that SS is significantly more or less than "a storyline" (in her April Fools tweets, which may or may not have been telling the truth, she claimed SS would have one S4 episode).
And thinking about it, with Meghan saying that Twilight will not outlive her friends, I'm reminded of my theory that Sunset Shimmer is Twilight Sparkle, from a distant future where Celestia and Luna have long since left the stage, and Twilight/Sunset now controls both the sun and the moon with her sun/moon ying/yang cutie mark.
"Twilight Sparkle (now calling herself Sunset Shimmer) knows a magical path to faraway adventures. Years ago, she was also a student of Princess Celestia."

If you mean the John DeLancie one, then yep, I watched it a while back when it launched. As a piece about a few specific individuals rather than the fandom as a whole, I thought it was pretty great.
I didn't spot Belle though, I'll have to go back for another look!
My Little Pony: FiM Season 3 Episodes 1 and 2 - The Crystal Empire
Oh man, I almost got flashblacks to the pilot of the series. The fun was missing for about half of the two-parter, and I have to attribute it to Twilight Sparkle being an uber-straight character in this episode. Sometimes this part of her character is funny (It's About Time from Season 2) but here it was boring. To be honest though, Twilight doesn't rank too high on my fave pony list. New villain sucked, and the musical pieces weren't so great.
Thankfully, we have her friends being awesome and bringing color to the episode. Rarity and Pinkie Pie show up for duty here, and I loved that exchange between Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash where Fluttershy begged to be relieved of jousting duty. Poor Fluttershy still has assertiveness problems even after the whole Iron Will scenario...but I still like her. Even Applejack, in spite of how straight she also is, was sort of fun because of how dependability is so second nature to her. And the part where she

Nice writeup! I didn't mind the Crystal Empire opener, but I think it suffered a little from being extremely plot-driven (as opposed to character-driven). But hey, variety is always welcome.
Wow, thank you. I hope you continue to get something out of it when I do post on an episode. It'll be fairly frequent, a couple days apart at most, though not with any sort of real schedule.

Hello people who watch and enjoy this show, I have decided to give this show a look. While I wasn't blown away but it did peak my interest in other ways. I am not here to offend or troll, just here to ask some questions if that is quite fine.
