Given that the box is what sprouted Twilight's new castle tree thing, I'd guess she has access to it.

But that was the only thing inside the box. So that would be pretty useless.

Well, a whole castle is already many times larger than the box. Maybe it's some kind of bag-of-holding-like container.

Welp, that's that. Only eight months until Season 5 (minimum)!

...Maybe we need waiting music.

I want to say I hope they'll turn the new key-givers into recurring or semi-recurring characters, but that's uder half of them. Spitfire and Discord are recurring already, and Cheese Sandwich and Seabreeze are voiced by a guest star and live in an alternate Breezie-dimension respectively. No excuse for Coco Pommel or Silver Shill, though. Both of them were great characters with great designs and it'd suck for them to be reduced to background appearances after their debut.

I neeeeeeed my Coco, DMX. ;_;

I have to wonder how Spike got out. Wasn't he last asleep in the library? And Twi deliberately left him out of the loop here, so that must have been one hell of a wake up call with a giant sentaur getting ready to nuke the place. I mean he's fine later, but how did he get out?

It'll take more than that to harm Spike. A dip in a lava pool is like a warm bath to the little guy. He probably went "Who the buck woke me up this time? Hmph. Hey, it's kinda drafty in here."

@Midna: The rest I'm fine with being one off characters, but we absolutely need more Coco.

If there isn't at least a scene next season of Twi mourning her lost books I will be disappoint.

No excuse for Coco Pommel, Cathy Weseluck even did the voice a bit, seemingly aware of the character's popularity.

Megan's also teased her a few times, so maybe the writers have an interest in bringing her back for an episode.

Yeah, Spike was in the cage with the other ponies when Tirek destroyed the library.

Especially when this wasn't an issue until this episode. In fact most of the time it came it up it was quite the opposite with Twilight not wanting her royal duties to be a big deal. Either the writers weren't talking or this was an attempt to try to acknowledge an obvious absence.
Yeah, the writers could have foreshadowed this a bit more, but Twilight's prior attitude doesn't contradict this. Having official princess duties is different from being treated differently. It matches prior characterization that Twi would not take well to being treated differently if she doesn't think she's done anything to earn it. And we saw back in "Magical Mystery Cure" that she was very concerned about what she would do once she no longer had her role as Celestia's Faithful Student to guide her life.

We received a memo to be on the lookout for a tea rack. A bucking *tea rack*. We had a good laugh about it and went back to our dart game. By the time we received a second memo from our intel informing us of the *true* nature of the problem, it was too late. Tirek was too powerful for the Wonderbolts to stop. sad

At least I learned an important lesson from this: We need to completely overhaul our intel. Heads are gonna roll!

Quite like the finale song. Cute, poppy, and cheesy in a good way. Short but sweet.

re:Darkabomination: Isn't there a shot in Equestria Games where you can see her in the audience? (Lower left.) She has an official card in the TCG too, so I think it's safe to say they know.

Of course, when you're either the most popular or second-most (assuming Cheese Sandwich to have a slight lead) key-giver, they'd have to be blind not to bring you back at some point!

Alright, Leap of Faith. I see Flim and Flam, and I fully expect Applejack to beat a key out of them.

AJ, that's probably not good for your hat.

Granny Smith is about to go on a war flashback.

"I almost broke the Equestrian high diving record! But I missed and broke all my bones instead."

"I used to be cool, but DO NOT DO THIS COOL THING."

Today was the Ponyville Comical Injuries Parade. Donny Swineclop couldn't make it on account of a miscalculation that left him with a totally not comical disfiguration instead of a funny one.

How do they get the fireflies to all dim on command? Do they gas them or something?

I just realized that the Flim Flam Brothers' color scheme looks like bacon. Also I'm hungry.

They seem to be taking the OCD approach. I'm surprised Rarity isn't here.

"Buy our snake oil, or we'll assault you until you need it!"

That totally not planted audience member they picked to do a Jesus to seems to know their choreography awfully well. All the other ponies are just doing the same weirdass squatting dance they did the last time the bros showed up.

OH GOD, WARN ME BEFORE YOU SHOW PICTURES OF SWOLLEN HINDQUARTERS.

So...so Granny Smith just bought a tonic when they just got done saying a possible side effect was that it might make you older.

And Granny Smith just breakdanced (brokedance?). My life is complete.

And now she did a sultry pose. My life cannot be over soon enough. (>Д<)

The way she's describing her symptoms, it sounds like it just got her mildly buzzed.

And she's flashing Big Mac. There goes that G-rating.

Applejack just threw down the SCIENCE gauntlet. And that made me think of this story again, so my day is made.

What? No, silly pony, that's not how you SCIENCE.

Same pony walks out. Called it.

Did...did Shill just rape-whistle them?

Uh, no AJ. He's not even bothering to dress up as a different pony. If anything, he probably needs to wash those overalls pretty badly by now.

So she's letting it go on because it makes Granny happy, and that's all that matters until she inevitably tries high-diving again. Dear Princess Celestia: Today I learned old people should shut up and stay in their rocking chairs.

"But a competition is a pony of a different color!" Racist.

And Applejack just shilled it. Genius move there.

Man, Lyra's a harsh critic. Or she's actually the judge for Drownball and got lost on the way to her panel.

Hey, Bloom's actually really good at this.

To be fair, if it's just apple juice they could sell it as a fad health drink and it'd sell even quicker. It wouldn't even be untrue.

Um...I'm pretty sure she was either exaggerating or senile when she called it a pie tin. Though I do have to wonder exactly why the swim meet would build a diving board off the side of the tower and aimed at empty ground. Probably the same engineers responsible for Perilous Cliff Street.

And Applejack just Gwen Stacy'd Granny.

Blah blah honesty here's a key. Well, that one wasn't too bad.

I couldn't help but think "Ponyball Z" when Twilight was shooting giant lasers and leaving craters in the ground. And then Super Saiyan Ponies when they finally opened the chest.

So at least they finally showed what was in it...super powers and a whole giant castle.

Which sort of makes her the princess of Ponyville and her friends the Knights (Ladies?) of the Friendship Table...hehe, that'll be fun next season.

Bah, I forget which thread I put this on.
