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!

Well, after the Equestria Games stuff (silver medal, by the way wink) and this Tirek guy outta the way, I'm hoping I can relax for a bit without anything else odd happening.

t's the same crowd that would have bitched and moaned if the writers had immediately made Twilight's role and duties clear at the start of S4. Damned if you do, damned if you don't

That's not necessarily true.

Aye, it's rather that a different crowd would have bitched. Some people wanted to see the show evolve into a more adventure-y format, and felt Twilight's promotion to the Princess Who Doesn't Do Anything was thus a very wasted opportunity.

Ike. Bro. I spoilered that for a reason.

It has to do with the end of the episode. You'll know when you see it.

  • Uh, unless Discord has some severe memory loss problems everypony's been too polite to point out until now, yeah, Tirek probably knows there's a fourth alicorn.
    • For that matter, if you think he doesn't know about Twilight, why do you think he knows about Cadance?
  • "What can't be right?"
    • "It was as if a billion fanboys cried out in anger, and then kept posting about it months after everybody else had gotten sick of it."
  • I'll be honest, I'm kinda disappointed the other princesses didn't turn into earth ponies/pegasi/unicorns after giving Twilight their magic. I would have liked to see unicorn!Celestia, pegasus!Luna, and earth pony!Cadance.
  • So uh, shouldn't Twilight be going into hiding now, or something? No? Just back to the Ponyville library? Alright then....
  • "What the... Twilight? Oh, no way, motherbucker! You did not just try to be faster than me!"
  • You gotta admit, Discord has better taste in stained glass than Celestia.
  • Yeah, you ''really' didn't think this plan through, Celly. I mean really, that window must have been right behind you when you gave her your magic.
  • Speaking of not thinking things through, you probably should have warned your friends about Discord turning traitor before you left them, Twilight.
  • And for the trifecta! Seriously, Discord, you of all people didn't see this coming?
    • Ha! Beat you to it, AJ!
  • Uh-oh, he blew up her books. That's like making Bruce Lee bleed, all you've done is make her angry, you fool!
    • And then the owl abandoned her. Now all she needs is a boyfriend to walk out on her and take the truck with him, and she's got a #1 country song.
  • Open the box, aaaaand... EVERYPONY'S AN ALICORN! THANKS, MA LARSON!
  • Seriously though, those designs look ridiculous. I know we just had a Dragonball Z battle, but you really didn't have to give everypony Super Saiyan 3 hair.
  • Oh, hey, you can see Celestia, Luna, and Cadance in the background in Tartarus.
  • Whoa, we finally get to see all of Equestria in the show itself.
  • OH THANK GOD they powered down after all. I was nervous there for a minute.
  • Twilight, it has a giant crystal sparkle on top. It might as well have a neon sign flashing your name in 50-foot letters.
  • And we finish by feeding the Rarijack and Dislestia shippers.

I'm definitely glad they got a two-parter finale again. It really shows how much better MMC could have been if they hadn't had to condense it into a single episode.

@Syd: Sometimes I think this fandom would whine even if Twilight never became an alicorn princess in the first place. Yeah, that's how unpleasable they are.

Well I just got done watching the season finale as well as the Brony documentary with my mom. I think this is the latest I've ever had to comment on an episode day.

Anyway, the finale was nice, though I'd still rate A Canter Lot Wedding above it. I was really not expecting an epic fight scene in MLP. Reminded me a bit of Avatar The Last Airbender.

Also, good thing the Rainbow Power designs only showed up temporarily. Those things look awful.

Oh an Twilight not living in the treehouse any more? Crap, this means I have to update my fanfic. If I ever get around to working on it again...

@ Librarian:

1. Welcome back.

2. You're behind by like two-thirds of the season, and you come back when you know everyone will be talking about the season finale? What do you expect us to talk about, then?

I know, it's ill-timed of me XD

But anyway the reason I didn't watch was mostly because towards the end of the school year my dorm's internet started getting REALLY crappy.

Kegi- I honestly have no idea what it's referring to. I assumed that if it's something in the finale, then it's fair game since the finale has been aired. Isn't that how it works?

If it's in the finale, when does it happen? And if it's not, where is it mentioned? Because I seriously don't know what you mean.

Uh, does anyone remember making or seeing this post? Because I don't think it's one of ours, and it isn't in the google doc.

^ I presume he's referring to the rest of the Mane 6 getting chairs in Twilight's castle, as the "Round Table" to her King Arthur.

[up]That's the one.

And just because something is out, doesn't mean everyone has seen it yet. I didn't see the episodes until later at night because I was out and about today.

I saw the episodes at 6 PM pacific time. I stayed off the forum all day until I was done because I knew there would be spoilers.

I see your point though. Sorry about that.

Or, if Discord switches sides, then getting him back on board with friendship

Close enough

I think this is probably the single greatest example of the theme song not fitting the tone of the episode at all.

Well in ACW, the second episode started just after Twilight had been surrounded in green fire and dragged into the floor, presumably to hell.

Assuming, of course, that you're not watching this episode as a rerun or on DVD...

Why on earth would they ever air only half a two parter as a rerun?

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE IS YOUR MAGIC

I read that to the tune of this

Of all the windows not to mess with...

The baguette sword was hilarious though.

Nice little detail that Celestia and Luna's manes stopped flowing after the magic transfer.

Oh wow, I didn't notice that.

Calling it now: Tirek's trinket will allow him to neutralize Discord if Discord betrays him.

That's what I thought at first too.

Incidently, it's a shame that the necklace Discord gave Twilight in Three's A Crowd didn't come up.
