10 | * ContinuityNod: |
11 | ** Aside from referencing the events of "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E9SliceOfLife Slice of Life]]", it also involves [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E26ACanterlotWeddingPart2 changelings]] and takes place in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E21OverABarrel Appleloosa]]. |
12 | ** Also, during Lyra's initial introduction to S.M.I.L.E.'s operations, it's claimed that [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E16ItAintEasyBeingBreezies Breezies]], [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E25TwilightsKingdomPart1 Tirek]] and even [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E1MareInTheMoon the Return of Nightmare Moon]] were all S.M.I.L.E cover-ups -- although[[invoked]] WordOfGod is apparently that the agent was joking when he claimed these three were S.M.I.L.E.'s responsibility. |
13 | * FunWithAcronyms: Sweetie Drops works for the agency of S.M.I.L.E. -- The Secret Monster Intelligence League of Equestria. It also turns out that S.M.I.L.E. considers Twilight and her friends to be an unofficial sub-faction of ''their'' organization, which they call F.R.O.W.N. -- Friendship Ranger Organization of Worldwide Neighgotiations. |
14 | * TheMenInBlack: S.M.I.L.E. effectively serves as this to Equestria, something hammered in by the cover-art depicting Lyra and Bon-Bon wearing the trademark black suits and sunglasses. Their mission is to keep monsters in check should they get way too dangerous for ponies. |
15 | * ShoutOut: To various spy films. |
16 | ** The title is a shout-out to ''Film/TheManFromUNCLE'' |
17 | ** Chapter 3's title, "True Lyra", is a reference to the 1994 Arnold Schwarzenegger action comedy film ''Film/TrueLies'', whilst chapter 7's title, "Mares in Black", is obviously one to TheMenInBlack. |
18 | ** Ponified versions of various Manhattan landmarks appear in Manehatten. |
19 | ** The Saddle Hawkins dance is clearly a ponified version of the [[ComicStrip/LilAbner Sadie Hawkings Dance]]. |
