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!

@dark: Oh, they definitely will do something with the trademark. I just wish that the wailing and gnashing of teeth wasn't always pre-emptive.

[up]I concede the point. I haven't heard anything about it since the name first appeared, but I knew it was related to Pony.

And at this point, I'm just gonna wait and see. No point feeling anything about it just yet.

I think it could be the fact that some of the fandom doesn't understand that toys and merch is over all Hasbro's biggest concern, not the show. Thus the merch can be incorporated into the show if hasbro feels it will generate more money. Compared to previous gens and some other toy-sponsored shows Fi M has a lot of room to themselves, but the influence is still very much present.

Well, I'm awake, and wondering what's up, aside from the influx of vampony Fluttershy pics. (Would've made a note of it yesterday, but got a little caught up in stuff.)

At least AJ hasn't gotten a pink pickup yet.

Discord might be involved with AJ's truck.

Funny story about that truck, the Crusaders thought it was a great way to earn their racing Marks and took it for a spin.

Three fillies trying to drive a truck went about as well as you'd expect. Scootaloo managed the peddles, Applebloom steered, and Sweetie was giving directions. The last known location was a series of skid marks leading into the Everfree Forest.

So they left what was left of the truck in the forest?

@Dark You could practically see the skid marks all over Ponyville as they drove. I don't know I think maybe Sweetie Belle tried to call dibs on the front seat by going: "Shotgun" but I think that term just confused the others right there.

So what do regular fruit bats eat? Do they photosynthesize? Also, I think fruit bats are my favorite Equestrian animal.

I think they might be like Bulbasaur and are both plant and animal at once.

Hey all. Got back from Christmas vacation with my family last night, and caught the new episode this morning.



@Ike. No such thing. All christmas songs are good.
BS. I love Christmas music, and I even I have to admit that some songs are utter garbage. Like “Heaven’s Got a Baby” by Sarah Mason, or “Sleigh Ride” as performed by anyone besides Ella Fitzgerald. Or, much as I love the guy, Sufjan Stevens’ version of “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” (I refuse to believe that he was sober when he recorded that song).

Also, “Jingle Bell Rock”. Jonathan Coulton articulates better than I could why that song is awful.

Not a good idea. Misltetoe is toxic.
So are calla lilies, and Pinkie ate one of those with no problem.

It just doesn't make sense. If there are Zebra subspecies, they're probably not analgous to the pony ones.
The zebra species does have a subspecies analogous to unicorns. They’re rhinoceroses.

To clarify again, my issue wasn't that Fluttershy was right so much as that she managed to convince AJ to see her side without presenting any real argument. Whether AJ or Fluttershy was right to begin with is up to interpretation and isn't really relevant to the episode. The problem is that AJ has X information and decides A, and then switches to B while still having the same info.
I just assumed Twi’s brainwashing spell was the only viable means of carrying out AJ’s “get rid of all the bats” plan. Flutterbat was an unacceptable side-effect, so Fluttershy’s plan became the best one by default.

Accept the plan WORKED, other then Flutterbat, and they fixed that. It wasn't even a "this WILL happen" side effect, it was simply The Stare and the spell interacting in a way nopony anticipated.

I think "brainwashing solves everything" would have been right up there with "kill the copies" as far as WTF endings go.

I have a message from another time...

Agreed that it would have been an odd ending, but at least it would have made sense. versus sudden complet 180 for no reason.

Also, assumes that the clones were 1. Alive enough to be killed. 2. Actually killed. And not just lifeless magical constructs that Twi simply restored to ambient magic.

Reversing the Flutterbat effect also reversed the effect on the actual vampire bats. It was a package deal—since they couldn't cast the spell on the bats without Fluttershy using her Stare to mesmerize them, they couldn't cast the spell without Fluttershy getting caught in it.

It's Conservation Of Aspects. Vampire battiness can't be created or destroyed by the spell, just transferred.
