@Afro: True, but would it have been the clearer comedic choice?

So, watching the new episode now.

  • Twilight fangirling over the old castle library. :D
  • The return of the AJ/RD rivalry! :D
  • Goddammit, Angel! (trapdoor)
  • That's Pinkie's eye in the painting, isn't it. It's the right color, and there's no way they're having an episode with the other five and not her.
  • Journal of the Two Sisters: "Dear Diary, O-M-Me, Luna is being such a pain ever since I told her I think Starswirl has a cute flank. Like, how was I supposed to know she was crushing on him LOL?"
  • I'm going to be so disappointed if Rainbow and AJ haven't thrown themselves into each others' arms by the end of this episode. ...as a Jump Scare response, of course. Rainbow covering her eyes with her wings is adorable, though.
  • Rarity's Lumos spell is vastly superior to Harry's.
  • "AJ, you don't have to put your hoof around me... but I sure don't mind it. ;)" [This moment brought to you by Shipper Delusions Inc (r)]
  • F%$k you, Angel!
  • "Organ to the Outside." ...the large intestine?
  • YES, OTP hug achieved! Now let's go for two!
  • No, seriously, F@#k you Angel.
  • "It's not the armor's gonna come to life or anything, right?" #legendsofthehiddentemple
  • Nice speech, Rarity. XD
  • Okay, if somebody doesn't create a pony pinball game based on this scene, I am going to be seriously disappoint.
  • Just an old ponies' tale. Twilight, can you not taste the irony in that statement?
  • TWILIGHT PUTS THE TEAM ON HER BACK.
  • Goddammit, Pinkie. XD
  • No, really, goddammit, Pinkie. XD
  • Okay, getting a bit hamfisted now, Twi. :/

Well, aside from the hamfisted moral at the very end, that was pretty damn good.

@Story No lie I only just saw Thor: The Dark World only two days ago. Not saying it blurred the experience but it is quite noticeable then again it could be just me.

Come to think of it, I haven't seen a proper movie that's not a b-movie, cheap exploitation flick, or cheesy horror film in quite some time.

Alright home, and IT'S TIME!

To watch the new episode. so here we go....

Awwww, Twi's so adorable reading like.... and mood shift to frustrated Twi. Nicely played

And right into keeping that story arc moving. HELL! YES!

Though gotta wonder WHY sh would think something like that would be in ANY book. Given, you know, how little there is of ANYTHING having to do with the Tree.

Aaand, was.. was that a freaking out right wingboner from her?

Yes Twi, perfect, other then, everything other then the books

Alright that was a NICE start.. can't wait to see where it goes.

...... what....

what!?

Alright then.. and somehow... I am not surprised by this.

AWWW come oe, that's cheating.. what's the point if you have the damn suits on.

And for what it's worth, pony bee keeper suits are cute, but noting compared to pony haz-mat suits.

Alright, stp going scene by scene. Overall, really good so far. Aj and RD had a good reason for showing up. Rarity, it's a good one for her but, why wait so long? What made her decide to do this NOW. And I could see her asking Flutershy for help but, why not all the Mane 6?

Anyway. Nice 'ghost' story from AJ, and rarity.... how the buck do you expect Fluttershy to lift that? Though, really nice details, like the little look Fluttershy gave her that said exactly that.

Now to see how Pinkie ends up getting involved. And just how many hijinks the other four will get into while Twi is completely oblivious to everything except her reading.

Alright this... oh HELL yes, season 4 is really getting off to a good start. Just, the details, so many litle things. Angel's face when he realizes the trap, just how perfectly the episode is managing to make to rather contrived notion of the groups not knowing anything about the other make sense and work. All the little traps, tricls, the mystery. So many little things, could go on and on about every frame more or less.

That's Pinkie's eye in the painting, isn't it. It's the right color, and there's no way they're having an episode with the other five and not her.

Nice catch! I was too busy typing out a comment to pay attention to the eye, but that's probably the earliest foreshadowing there is.

Alright then, so yeah that was a pretty amazing episode.

Everything flowed well, it all made sense. Pinkie showing up felt really out of place and sudden at first, but made prefect sense.. as much as Pinkie could make sense. We have a replacement for the DPC letters... still sad they are going away. AND

wild mass guess That shadow thing is really the season long antagonist. It was what was responsible for the Plunder seeds finally breaking through to the Tree. And has something to do with NMM, like the tail said, which is why the potion showed the whole NMM scene.wild mass guess

So yeah, and the details, so many little amazing details, I really want to find time to do a J-Teeth like, scene by scene look at the thing, it so full of... everything.

In all likelyhood it's not going to be mentioned again, it's a common trope.

Sure is, Crimson, sure is. Though to be fair I kind of was still on season 1 when season 3 finished so whatever.

Have you seen Primer? I don't remember for sure, but as I recall it's mostly explained by narration.

after all these months, it's good to have the ponies back again

Yep. And it's shaping up to be an awesome season too.

I'm sitting in a parking lot to pick up my brother from work.

His shift was supposed to end OVER AN HOUR AGO. People are lining up almost out the door to order.

HOW IS A FAST FOOD JOINT THIS BUSY???

Well I finally managed to finish the MESI protocol for my cs project after several hours of debugging. Only 3 more of those to go, each more complex then the last.

It's insane how much business they're getting. And it's driving me insane waiting.

I tried going in to ask someone when my brothers shift ends, and all they could say was "I'm doing the best I can." geez Louise.

The box. The missing spiders. The shadow with the glowing eyes.

Is the show establishing hints of what's to come, or will these things never be mentioned again? Actually, I'm confident the box will be revisited.

The box is obviously a season long plot arc. The rest is probably not returning.
