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!

I finally saw the finale after oversleeping this morning.

Amazing. Simply amazing. It was great from start to finish.

And I was happy to see that the lesson that got the Magic key wasn't bound to the literal meaning of the word. Well, not entirely.

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.

True, but if you've got the internet connection be reach this site you can probably reach one of the numerous sites you can watch it on, so if you're coming here and you haven't seen it yet, you've really got no one to blame but yourself. It's exactly why I haven't visited the thread all day until the last hour.

Anyway, on a non-pony note, I'd just like to take a moment to shamelessly plug that I've started a pokemon webcomic that I'm hoping to update at least three times a week.

That's not one of our posts, and that image macro wasn't done by one of us.

I thought not, and the quality made me even more suspicious. I'll cut the tag from the image.

What is it with Celestia and telling Twilight she needs to do everything alone? First Crystal Empire now this. I wonder if she's getting tired of being wrong all the time?

I was really surprised by that too. At first, I thought it was a Secret Test of Character, but apparently not.

Celestia said Tirek came "from a distant land"

He must have been traded over from Orre.

Incidently, I'm surprised noone has mentioned Discord giving Celestia the boquet of flowers. Did everyone except me really miss it somehow?

I can understand keeping it secret, to some extent. Lord knows Pinkie Pie alone has trouble keeping her mouth shut about important info.

And now, shipping.

Oh there we go.

I still think that it being so close in energy combat choreography to a DBZ fight is them poking fun at DBZ and shows like it. Seriously, they played those explosions up so hard,

I've never seen one of those DBZ fightscenes, so I guess I can't really comment. The thing it made me think of most was Avatar, especially ATLA's finale and some of Korra's fights.

Im still in shock that Scorpan exist in the FIM-verse.I seriously hope he returns for the comics and/or the show.

I wonder if he's actually a prince in this continuity.

I really hate my mom sometimes. Which is a terrible thing to say right before Mother's Day, but I will NOT let her dictate who I can and cannot have a relationship with. It's none of her fucking business and I'm tired of her acting like it is. I will do just about anything she says because I'm her son and I love and respect her. But I'm not giving in on this.

I mean he's fine later, but how did he get out?

Maybe he woke up offscreen when Twilight raised the sun.

Also, random thing I noticed: when they go to the box for the last time, the tree isn't in the forest any longer. You think they cleared a path or something?

It was always off in a cave.

Fucking wheelbarrow.

You too? That's got to be the laziest poem ever. It's like someone wrote it on a dare to see if they could just throw random words together and still have it impress literary people.

Sombra = Dead

Ambiguously dead.

or the four princesses could theoretically fight Discord on even terms, without having to resort to the Elements

To be fair, Cadance and Twilight weren't around to fight Discord when he first returned.

Speaking of power, I wonder if that rainbow thing was a one off or if they can Super Saiyan it up whenever they want now.

Betcha it shows up in Equestria Girls.

Ambiguously dead.

He asploded, though. And he's had 2 seasons to pull himself together. I'm pretty sure Nice Guy Sombra is the closest we'll get to seeing him again.

Tirek was too powerful for the Wonderbolts to stop.

You couldn't even stop a little dragon.

re:Darkabomination: Isn't there a shot in Equestria Games where you can see her in the audience?

You're asking Dark that?

I love that Biceps' mom is just as beefy as her son.

Wait, when did Bulk's mom show up?

Discord's magic is sufficiently different that for it to be immune to absorption wasn't that far-fetched.

Well Tirek couldn't absorb Discord until after he had already gotten buff by sucking up everypony else, so in that sense the plan worked.

it makes no sense to think that he wouldn't share the info about Twilight

Why? Twilight isn't quite as well known as a princess, especially in non-Ponyville areas. Also, Twilight ascended recently, unlike Cadance

Okay, the smashed chalice mosaic gag was pretty epic

My favorite part is how they put a BANDAID on the chalice while trying to repair it.

I was talking to Apple on DA earlier. He's looking into starting up a forum off-site for us to hang out and chat. It's still in the planning stage at this point. Anyway, he wants to know who would be interested in joining.

I won't be going. Keeping track of more than one thread is too much work, and I don't want the discussion split any more than it already is.

Wait, when did Bulk's mom show up?
In a crowd shot in "Equestria Games", there's a female pegasus who's every bit as beefy as Bulk Biceps and has a beehive hairdo. She was never identified in the episode itself, but the fandom decided she must be Bulk's mom.

Why would Discord be with anypony?

Why don't you go ask him that?

Where was that put? In Ponyville, or somewhere else?

Looked to me like it was on the edge of Ponyville.

That is how you do a motherfucking season finale.

Well if there's one thing that's really impressive, it's that part 2 of the finale is the first episode my dad actually watched through. Maybe there's hope for him yet.

and earth pony!Cadance.

Actually Cadance was a pegasus prior to alicornization.

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 can try doing a search on the old thread if you want. It's probably a fake though.

so if you're coming here and you haven't seen it yet, you've really got no one to blame but yourself. It's exactly why I haven't visited the thread all day until the last hour.

Heck, we have our spoiler policy in the thread title itself. (Which is actually Official Forum Policy, but most people don't bother)

I did: And we finish by feeding the Rarijack and Dislestia shippers.

Yeah, but you hadn't posted yet.

He asploded, though

Yes but the episode went out of its way to show that he wasn't dead. It's pretty clear that they wanted an out in case they decided to bring him back later.

So basically, he's dead until they decide that he isn't.

Odds are that the manufacturers would've included safeguards even if only to minimise culpability should the pacemakers be "hacked".

Hahaha, so naive and trusting.

There are several main reasons for the lack of security. First off, the devices are small and power limited, so it's not quite so easy to add encryption hardware. Second off, companies don't bother with security until there's a high profile incident that forces their hand (a similar problem occurs with stuff like garage door openers and electronic car keys). Third, there's a tradeoff between security and convenience. And lastly, security is hard and many companies are bad at it.

Edit: Darn it!

Hey, Storyyeller. I just remembered that I had a bit of speculation months ago about Twilight's character development, and it may have predicted part of the S4 finale plot. But now I can't remember exactly what I speculated/predicted.

Can you search your archive for posts of mine containing both "twilight" and "mediate"?

*eyebrow?*

Wait a sec, how is that? All I recall of him after he blew up was maybe a shard or two visible in the aftermath. Even if he's not completely physically oblierated, I don't think what's left of his body is alive.

[up]His horn still remained intact even after his death. And considering that he's an Expy of Sauron, you never know what could happen.
