I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

You'd think with everything they'd all been through considered, they'd be a bit more open to weird ideas.

That's not really applicable. I mean if I were them I might not have beleived RD either.

The Royal Sisters must have a non-compete clause with the Mayincatek royalty.

Who are totally llamas ruling over a nation of alpacas.

the books. It's apparenly a good enough cover-up that nobody in our main cast seems to know about Ahuizotl being real, but that rogue archeologist and his thugs knew full well. I wonder why this little masquerade hasn't been broken yet. Ahuizotl certainly seems like the kind of guy who would have come across the Sisters at some point.

They probably do most of their sparing off in remote jungles that noone else knows about.

[up][up]That would likely make them just Inca.

@Enlong: It doesn't really seem that strange when you consider that most of this stuff goes on in remote parts of Equestria (if it indeed is even still in Equestria), and none of the parties involved want it to get out that they are dealing in ancient magical artifacts, precisely because they don't want anyone the sisters involved.

apparently, this particular henchpony has been named Nogan, because he looks kind of like Ganon.

the appearance really is uncanny...

Hey, let's go back to the idea of the mayincatec leaders being llamas. Because that gets a big yes from me.

It's out. And since it's just about as long as the last one, I'll just watch it sometime when it's not midnight.

I watched it when they streamed it on everfree before. There are a few... kind of dumb clips, but overall, it's good. Also, no 20 minute long parodies this time.

How would that work though? Is it a civilization of mixed lamas and ponies? Or a segregated one?

Well per Word Of God, Celestia at least does know all about what's going on. So guess she just knows Daring can handle things, and stands by to intervene if necessary.

Just finished watching the episode. It was a lot of fun, but it felt kinda odd. The whole Indiana Jones vibe with the "Daring Do is Real" thing felt like it wasn't quite integrated into the existing setting very smoothly. I think it's mainly because the cast treats the whole thing kinda weird; apparently there's a lot at stake, but they're more concerned with the novelty of Daring Do being real than the fact that there's a real threat. Like the whole "saving the valley from 800 years of doom" thing was kind of an afterthought. It wasn't a bad episode by any means, but the sudden jump into an adventure story felt a little out of place to me. Maybe it's just because I'm really tired.

Still, the animation was great, the action sequences were handled pretty well, and RD had some amazing expressions, so it was still enjoyable. RD is obviously a stand-in for overzealous fans, which adds a hilarious subtext to pretty much everything she does. Not quite up to the standard of the first few episodes, but still good overall.

I just noticed that this map of Equestria omits the railway to the Crystal Empire.

It has come to my attention that there is a Rainbow Dash page. No, not her character page, one of those self demonstrating articles like we have for some comic book characters... why does that exist? The Rainbow Dash page, that is.

You there! Check out my Youtube Channel! The power of Ponies compel you!

I think I like Daring Do's role in the episode and don't have much of a problem with it, as I think it's expanded the world a good deal. The implication that not only are heroes real in Equestria delivering justice, but that it's a big world out there and could very well be necessary for peace. And I like the concept, the Mane Six always saving the day made the world feel rather small, especially before the Crystal Empire showed up.

Hopefully this is making some sense.

Derpy's never actually appeared as a mailmare in the show.
