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!

Story had archived up to page 15,914 when the old thread got nuked. I believe he's said there were only four pages or so he didn't save.

Geeze, it feels like it wasn't that long ago the thread got nuked, and the new thread hasn't been as fast as the old one, but we're almost a fifth of the way caught up. Wonder how long it will take before we actually get that many pages again.

Story's archive of the old thread ends at post #397,850. Add the missing four pages, and I'm guessing the old thread had approximately 398,000 posts.

50k, 15k, same thing. :P

In other news, it turns out Twilight's books are okay.

Rainbow was a pioneer in that regard. She stores all her stuff in the cloud.

Twilight trying out spells she found in rain-damaged books could be...interesting.

Twi: Okay, step 3. "Ram horn..." ...something. The rest is all smudged. Oh well. I'm sure Starswirl the Bearded knew what he was doing.

I have to wonder how the Ponyville citizens would have reacted to the fight between Tirek and Twilight. Seeing the two most powerful magical beings in existence throw everything they had at each other, titans locked in an epic clash. Would they be gazing in awe from a distance or fleeing in terror for their lives?

If Tirek had drained Ponyville's citizens of their magic, then they'd be too listless to do anything, apparently.

The Flim Flam brothers would set up a gambling booth.

Flam: 100 bits on Tirek? Thank you, kind sir! Next!

There's no indication he did, and he probably wouldn't have bothered by then, as he had just finished draining Discord. Anyone other than Twilight would have been a drop in the bucket.

Nowhere to go after getting Super-Twilight's power except for maybe the pony equivalent of Galactus (Galloptus?).

Maybe someone or something will attempt to go back in time and screw with history. Or maybe we'll just get attacked by the smooze.

There a fundamental flaw inherent in trying to constantly one-up last season's villain in that you can't keep escalating the threat without making the premise start to look a little ridiculous. Rather than a difference in scale, you should aim for a difference in kind.

It's how we haven't gotten bored of ponies after 4 seasons. We don't have bigger friendship problems, we've just been exploring different aspects of everyday life (fantastical premises aside).

So if you want to keep the two-parter format in the later seasons, you don't want bigger villains. You want different villains. The show has been good at giving us bad guys with different motivations and varied methods, but it's been relying too much on escalating the threat level.

You know what would be good?

Baddies that use the same power as the girls (friendship) for selfish evil reasons.
