A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.

All of the usual forum rules apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

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!

Maybe the train had a large detour, or they had a big margin of error in teh schedule.

Most likely, Rainbow realized they were falling behind and flew them all to the empire. But still, they don't show that happening, they just cut to the CMC winning the contest, so we don't actually know for sure.

Also I've decided I'm going to have a group of Changelings fill the role of the Trolls in my Ponystuck fic. Now I need to work on developing them as a species.

Maybe the contest was delayed to wait for them?

Well, RD was the official coach, so maybe they delayed until she got there. The other thing is that it's entirely possible there was a buffer between the time the train arrived and the time the contest actually started. Like the train gets there in the morning and the contest isn't until later in the day.

I can easily imagine Diamond and Spoony having their entry and being smug about it. Harshwinney then announces the CMC and Rainbow does her best to stall things until they get there.

Even then, pulling ALL the way to the Empire....

Headcanon for me is they just caught up to the train in the next town. Maybe Dash told the conductor to wait or something.

ORRR dash did zoom a head pretty fast and we never saw her, maybe she just rushed to catch up to the train and stop it till the CMC got there.

Maybe she convinced Celestia to teleport them.

I'm just throwing out ideas since they obviously didn't think about it in the actual show.

What's really weird is that it shows them going through the desert, which is in the complete opposite direction. I guess they made a pit stop in Appleoosa for some reason?

Maybe they had to hitch hike in Saddle Arabea. In that case, Sweetie and Applebloom must have wondered where the buck Scootaloo was driving. Cue stereotypical I don't need a map discussion.

^^^ Shining Armor's latest environmental policies haven't had quite the desired effect on the local ecology.

He might want to fire that camel as his chief adviser.

Hey, you know those videos on youtube that uses songs who's owners are notorious about enforcing copyright and that youtube auto-thumps when you upload anything containing those songs? How do people upload those videos seemingly legally? There's stuff all over youtube that should have been been taken down, but instead has a link to an e-store where you can buy the song.

Over mountains, too.

I was thinking, "You can just use the perfectly flat route next to the train tracks. It would be much easier. It's right there." I guess Rule of Awesome was in play, though.

You sure it's the same songs? I was under the impression that the content owners got to choose whether to block videos or just add a store link.
