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!

If the castle isn't as good at holding books, I'm sure Twi will find some way to renovate to fit more in. tongue

EDIT: Teeth: And then the first floor of the palace was a 24/7 book trade so that she could cycle knowledge as fast as possible. >.>

He declines to sign up and says he's never coming to Walgreens again

Gee, how will Walgreen's ever deal with such a terrible loss? They'll just have to carry on without him...somehow...

I think the plan was to have Twilight escape, learn how to use the magic over however long that took, and then eventually return to oust Tirek with that combined might. Giving the magic to anyone else wouldn't have worked; not one of them had yet had that much power, and would require some amount of learning time. Time which they wouldn't have had, because Tirek knew about all three of them.
Considering Twilight fought Tirek to a standstill with barely any time to get used to her powers or practice with them, I bet she could have won outright if she had more time before the fight.

Open question: when has that element been used to mean literal magic, rather than faith in friendship? Because I don't recall a one from the times it's been used.
The story of how she gained her cutie mark.

I wonder what the dynamic is going to be like next season. The new tree castle has thrones for all the mane six, so I guess they've got some new responsibilities, but unlike Twilight they also all have jobs separate from princessing. Do they get official titles now? Are they going to have trouble balancing their regular lives with whatever it is they end up doing as friendship ambassadors?

Syd- it's more the fact that we have him the option to get the sale price, and he said no and that we lied to him that bugs me. It takes less than 2 minutes to sign up and save 15 bucks on soda. What the heck was the problem?

Well, time for work. See you all later.

@Crowfall: I imagine that things will be pretty much the same save for a fancier home base.

@Crow: Yeah, I'm curious about that as well. My guess is that Twilight is the "official" princess, and the rest are sort of like her advisors. Twilight's the only one who has it as a full time job, but she can call on the others if she needs the help.

@JT: That's probably how they'll handle it. I just hope it comes up more often than Twi's princess status did this season.

For those who say the new castle doesn't look like it's equipped to hold a lot of books, remember that we've only seen the exterior, a hallway and the "round table" room. It's kind of like taking a tour of the White House and only seeing a broom closet.

@ Meta Four: That was her cutie mark story, though, distinct from the Elements, even if they are related.

Sereg, I say this out of honest concern and not malice or condescension. It has been pointed out time and again that you tend to pick and choose which details and observations are meaningful, and that you also tend to believe the explanation that you want to believe even when there's several possible ones that fit the evidence, most of which are also a lot simpler. If it was a one time thing, then you could be justified in ignoring it, but it's a consistent pattern of behavior that you exhibit, seen by a lot of intelligent people who have no ill will towards you. With how often it crops up, it's something that you really should reflect seriously on. I say that because those patterns of thought are really bad for someone who wants to join a scientific field.

I understand your concern, but if this were true, I'd never change my mind. This isn't true. For goodness sake, prior to Sombra, I'd have scoffed at the idea of a unicorn more powerful than Celestia. The evidence provided by the show led me to going, "Well! I guess I was wrong!"

I miss the treehouse library, too. that new castle-tree doesn't look suited to holding a lot of books.

There's a lot more space than there was in the treehouse. Unfortunately, she probably lost most of her books.

Completely and totally random thought: A Mega-Crossover miniseries where the Mane 6 are deposited into different universes under the IDW publishing label.

  • Twilight Sparkle - Ghostbusters
  • Applejack - GI Joe
  • Rainbow Dash - Transformers
  • Fluttershy - Godzilla
  • Rarity - Star Trek
  • Pinkie Pie - True Blood

All these plotlines are tied together are the characters of Locke And Key, with the ultimate villain being from Thirty Days Of Night having teamed up with the Hammer Empire from Danger Girl to conquer the multiverse.

Yeah, that must hurt. Hopefully her underground lab survived at least.

My personal headcanon is that she puts protection spells on objects she considers especially important to her. Goodness knows her house has been in plenty of danger of being destroyed before.
