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!

Pinkie and AJ being distantly related may have some basis :V They might be in-laws by relative marriage.

Pinkie's cousin marrying one of AJ's awesome nephews or something.

Yeah I could see it as long as it's somewhat distant. Like sharing a Great grandparent or something.

I doubt they turn out to be related. My guess is the moral is "Family is about more than blood".

Yeah, I'm guessing either that, or they are related but it's so distant that it's completely irrelevant.

So what are they traveling to? A family reunion?

According to the synopsis. They are going to find and talk to the one pony that will be able to tell them for sure if they are or aren't related.

I take it this is a geneologer, rather than gene testing.

It would have to be; I'm pretty sure that genetic tests only really work for close relatives. Once you get past second cousins, two relatives only really have as much in common as two random people from the same ethnic background. I think. We'd need Sereg to say for sure, given that he's studied genetics.

Lady Pommel really got popular... doesn't help my case that she actually is providing a little competition with Octavia for favorite Earth Pony.

That reminds me. How is the Round Robin fanfic going? Who's turn is it?

[up][up]I have no idea.

Also, it would be interesting to compare how much attention Coco's gotten vs. how much Octavia originally had, but I don't know how we'd do that.

Well, the closer they are, the easier it would be to see.

But it's quite possible to get a fair idea for very distant relatives.

This kind of thing is usually checked with microsattelites.

And that's been used for constructing a worldwide family tree.

EDIT: Well SN Ps are used too, just not as much.

Good to get back to using my studies.

As for Coco, I love Coco. I want her to become Rarity's permanent assistant.

Today, someone suggested to me an idea I like that she does and then feels threatened by Spike's affection for Rarity and decides that she has to prove herself.

I think that could be good.

ANOTHER EDIT:

I have no idea who's turn it is for the fanfic. Eager to see the result.

That's an interesting idea, although I'd kinda prefer the roles reverse, what with Spike feeling threatened by Coco. Spike's big thing is that he wants to feel useful, and giving Rarity a completely competent assistant basically robs him of his main excuse for spending time with her. It would also be an interesting Why Can't I Hate You? moment, considering how nice Coco is.

Maybe we'll get to meet the once-mentioned Granny Pie? Who could be close friends with Granny Smith.

Do You Wanna Build a Snowman? is still my favorite. Eh, it was pretty decent, though I guessed the majority of the twists and found it fairly predictable.

You're better than me. I wasn't able to guess Hans being evil at all. I figured he wouldn't be the real love interest, but I thought that he'd get taken out of the picture some other way. I also assumed that it would be Kristoff's love that would save her. I did notice that their definition of love applied to Anna too, but I didn't think they'd actually do that.

The love bit I was slightly uncertain about, but I had it as an option given how openly loving they are, and Anna trying to rekindle Elsa's feelings throughout. Hans was easy, rarely in a Disney movie will a love confession be insincere and not be part of a plot of a villain, and be a genuine mistake. Working off that basic Disney trope, the fact that he was just sort of nodding and agreeing about loving Anna during the song and letting her play along, and the fact that he seemed a bit too comfortable as the nation's leader, it all fell into place pretty quickly.
