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!

@Shimmer's compliment: Glad to see somepony else has good taste in the classics.

@Anyone who's about to try to ship me with Sunset Shimmer: Don't even. You all know what happened with Gilda x NES... that ship sank faster than a lead statue in water.

@Everfree Forest: I'd be willing to delve into that forest myself, even if it is mere recon.

My favorite exchange:

"P IS FOR RAINBOW DASH!"
"Actually, Rainbow Dash starts with an R."
"... NEVERMIND!"

Ah, I see that Miss Shimmer appears to be among those that frequent this place of discussion. Her ambition was most commendable, yet her strategy had a certain lack of tact and willingness to adapt to the changing situation when her plan did not go as predicted.

This is no time for frivolities.

@NES Well of course. Is that a rare occasion for you? In your corner of the world, classics aren't held in such a high regard?

Gilda? It must have been traumatizing to be pressued into a relationship with that pathetic featherbrain.

@Shimmy: It's less about protecting the forest and more protecting yourself from it. It's more deadly than Australia and that's saying something.

@Wind I ask again, who are you?

@Ace We do have the most powerful weapons in Equestia to handle the Everfree. Or at least we did, until that purplestain decided to just leave them there.

That's the thing, the Everfree is such a mystery because those superstitious fools just flatout refuse to study it. The ignorance is maddening.
One of the posters on this very forum is part of a university research team stationed in the Everfree. Your ignorance is amusing.

@Meta Oh please, I heard better insults than that from Flash Sentry. And that's saying something. Though it is interesting that such a research team exists. They could probably use my genius...

@Sunset: Some of the people in the human world do indeed not value the classics, which is rather unfortunate. As for the Gilda incident, she was the one who sunk the ship for the record, when the others went to try shipping me with the Griffon. In a way, it was less than traumatic actually. I have a distinct feeling that you and Gilda would be at each other's necks if ya both saw each other.

If there's one thing I am glad to not see in the Everfree, it's flying insects. (Unless I'm remembering wrong, I haven't seen any, and I do not count parasprites as an insect.) Flying insects, I absolutely detest and for good reason. (That bothersome... habit of theirs to beeline it to my ears...)

I quite liked the episode. It provided an interesting dilemma for RD that reminded me of Sweet And Elite, a lot of the gags were great, and the Derpy cameo was awesome. Also, as some of you can imagine, I appreciated this little moment a lot.[down]tongue

@Shimmy: Nothing's stopping them from getting them out in case of emergency. Also, they are just trinkets. If you truly have the power to command Harmony, you wouldn't even need them.

Miss Shimmer, I am a pegasus from Dream Valley, a location within a world refered to as G1. In truth, I am much less recognizable than yourself, yet that makes me no less a personage as yourself. however, I may say that unlike you, I remain a consistent member of the pony species.

@NES How unfortunate. Then again, without the diversity of views superior views would not exist. Don't worry about Gilda though, is there really a single being in Equestria or otherwise she's not at claws with? That creature is antisocial.

@martson Oh my... aha... ahahaha! *bursts into laughter* She looks downright idiotic!

@Ace They seemed to be needing those "trinkets" pretty badly when Discord came back. A crisis I would have handled better, I must add.

@Wind So let me get this straight, you come from an alternate Equestria?

@Shimmy: Well, they seem to be taking steps towards growing out of those trinkets. Ever researched Rainbow Power? It appears to be a throwback to Dream Valley's greatest secret.

Oh look it's Sunset Shimmer.

So, new episode. I liked it a lot. The third act, like that of "Rarity Takes Manehattan," was full of feels. Sorry I sound unenergetic; I'm getting a bad cold.

Ah yes, the power of rainbows. My research has indicated that these formations, naturally occuring or not, possess significant amounts of energy.

The hardest to create of laser-based weaponry is the full-spectrum beam, also known as the legendary Rainbow Laser as it flickers rapidly through the entire visible light spectrum in a regular pattern. Can't use normal lasing crystals because you need to hit the full range of light.

@marston: I liked it despite it not being as good as it could have been.

Other people in other places have found it to be kind of weak.

I really liked it. Some of the sequence of dialogue didn't mesh together as well as I thought it could have, but that's a pretty minor complaint.

@Ace By the time they do "grow out" of those trinkets, Equestia will be covered in chocolate rain. Because someponies decided to release Discord.

@Ace Suddenly, the human world looks much more appealing. At least they don't have dangerous all-powerful chaos embodiments just walking around unrestrained.
