One day, Diamond Tiara will learn the Magic of Friendship and all its splendors.

Today is not that day.

Omg. Episode! Right there.

Diamond Tiara is a magical embodiment of Jerkass, and if cleansed of it, will unwittingly unleash it on everypony else. What? It's a happy setting for a reason :D

Well, you never know. They could get a celebrity specifically to play a villain. Like... Discord.

And here I was gonna make a joke about Danny Trejo coming on the show, but I guess we already have a prime example...

Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.

I would have to say this weeks episode is one of, if not my absolute favorite, of season 4 so far.

John DeLancie's a celebrity.

I have a message from another time...

Well, De Lancie was Q, so him being Discord makes total sense.

@Princess Gwen Same here.

Interesting that this season seems to be an inverse of Pinkie's usual approval among the fans. This season her side moments seem a bit exaggerated, yet her focus episodes so far have been beloved and ranked highly.

It's my absolute favourite of season 4 thus far :3

The episode was good in many respects. The songs are what really got me.

Speaking of songs. Is it just me, or are there more songs this season than in other seasons?

We are all made of star stuff. Very, very weird star stuff.

Ah yes, the hero vs. self conflict, it does not get enough credit.

Obscure? Random? Bombs? They're yours my friend, as long as you have enough tropies! CROSSWICK EVERYTHING!!!

New theory about Pinkie's third sister. She's actually a ghost that only shows up in pictures.

Geeze, I didn't even catch the 3:10 to Yuma reference.

@Binary, it really doesn't. Because once you show a glimpse of your hero not making perfect decisions, some Douchey Mc Nitpick will claim plot hole/idiot plot/wall banger from his high-ass Feces Fort.

I don't know, season 3's Rent-esque finale made the song count hard to top... or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about.

Also, there are 21 visible candles on Rainbow Dash's giant birthday cake if anyone wanted to know.

Okay, the new episode was freaking awesome, no doubt about that. Weird Al was fantastic in it, and it was nice to see Pinkie's conflict being more of a Hero vs. Self sort of thing.

@Calnos: Visible candles. What about behind the cake? Would that mean there are 42 candles?

We are all made of star stuff. Very, very weird star stuff.

Great Scott! She's 42!

@Binary: Or she lived in Ponyville for 42 years.

@Binary Hedgehog: have you posted here before?

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

Rainbow Dash does not age, she only becomes cooler with time.

Well, I seem to have come in at a bad time to avoid spoilers, but I can't help but notice the change in avatar Orion. What's the occasion?

I don't think you'd just double the number of candles. There's presumably only one on top, and the ones on the sides wouldn't have a double. Even then there'd be thirty something candles, which seems way too old. I figure they either wanted to hint that she was 21 or they just threw an arbitrary number of candles on there. Probably the second.

That was fun. Really, really fun. Could be one of my favourites, but I'd have to watch it again. Honestly, it was a much better musical episode than Magical Mystery Cure.

Can all of Pinkie's episodes be musicals from now on? It really suits her.
