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!

The pacing was not an issue this episode besides the typical high-speed defeat.

I'm still buzzed from that fight sequence. Seriously, everyone who bitched about how the show would never do anything like that can now effectively shut up.

Well Starswirl did live like forever ago, so he's probably pretty dead by now.

On the other hand, he apparently studied time travel spells, so its totally possible for him to show up and Celestia just goes "oh, so this is where you went."

And now there's so much potential unlocked if they bring Scorpan back as well. And Tirek is still around and nursing a bigger grudge than ever.

Maybe it'll be a sort of running theme that all the villains from previous gens (Smooze, etc.) are all locked up in Tartarus.

And yeah, the pacing was really good. The ending was a bit on the quick side, but for the most part it worked pretty well. Maybe we'll get an S5 episode where they question Discord's loyalty.

Wait... if Tirek was wandering around for the past two years (our time, at least), how did he not know there was a fourth princess? There was a parade and everything.

My first thought when Twilight's told she needs to keep her new powers a secret from her friends: "It's like being a superhero! You even get a secret identity as a librarian!"

I'm surprised Discord was tricked so easily. I spent the majority of the episode expecting one of them to double-cross the other. I just expected Discord to be the one doing the double-crossing.

BINGO

Derpy, why are you even there?

[up][up]It always seemed like he was on the verge. I think being around the Mane 6 had changed him, and he really sort of believed that someone would want to be a friend to him.

Dark: If it helps you visualize: the fight was largely beam attacks and ridiculous explosions. If you've seen DBZ at all, I felt like it was a direct parody of one of their fights (especially with the terrain destruction). Despite that, they also managed to keep it mostly serious.

Irish: He probably had to hide out hardcore. Given how he looked even at the start of the episode, he seemed so decrepit, I bet a stiff breeze could have beaten him. No need to risk drawing the ire of the enemy in that state. And with the way he seems to look down on ponies, I doubt he'd want to really associate with them anyway.

I love that the thing with Cerberus actually paid off.

Like, 2 seasons later, but still! And I called it in the spoiler thread! But you thought I was mad! Ahaha Ahaha!

Oh geeze, why do I even go to mlp? I threw up after like ten posts. Seriously, it's like 25% actual complaining, 25% pretending to complain, 25% complaining about other people complaining, and 25% making fun of the people who complain about complaining.
