Don't forget about the center stars. With those two, her old mark had seven stars. For her new one it looks like they added two more.Moto Steinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649591714373684167.post-22656429124812008442013-02-18T17:03:49.814-05:002013-02-18T17:03:49.814-05:00For me the episode felt like a two-parter series f...For me the episode felt like a two-parter series finale that was cut into a one parter.<br /><br /><br />It was foreshadowed quite a bit given all the time Celestia had been watching Twilight and the increasing tests of leadership, magic, diplomacy, and the like.<br /><br />Hmm so the Mane 6 is short a unicorn. And Twilight got a new cutie mark.<br /><br />Here's an idea. Trixie joins the cast. Though that requires a new EOH I'd guess.<br /><br />As for Celstia's long con, we know for a fact that she's been grooming Twilight (and likely her brother) for a long, long time.<br /><br />And then used Twilight to form an Equestrian Wetworks team.<br /><br />And then used Shining in his role as a military commander to annex an empire into Equestria as a protectorate.The Jackhttp://fivetensfourtens.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649591714373684167.post-91530734975131032702013-02-18T15:55:45.597-05:002013-02-18T15:55:45.597-05:00Regarding the third objection, that Twilight's...Regarding the third objection, that Twilight's "ascent" seems premature, I think what we're seeing, but isn't being admitted to by the staff at Studio B, was that "Magical Mystery Cure" <i>was</i> concieved as a show finale. American animation has traditionally been hardwired to stop at 65 episodes for ease of syndication. (You get essentially 3 months worth of 5 day a week episodes that way) M.A. Larson mentioned somewhere that he wrote this in 2011. I don't think Season 4 was confirmed until 2012. <br /><br />My big beef with season 3 was that it seemed to be cramming in a lot of significant story changes into hurried 1 episode formats. This sort of thing seems logical if the show's producers are going through a span of "will they or won't they give us an extension" from the brass, with a final decision to greenlight season four after they'd planned out and got rolling on Season 3. <br /><br />Hence, the show's makers were in a way trying to cram as much closure into what had a very high chance of being the final season, with the unfortunate side effect that their ambitions outstripped the limited time they thought they had. <br /><br />Like many fans, I'm going to be very interested in seeing what they do with a fresh field of 26 episodes. Hopefully they'll be able to adjust the damage trying to repeated cram 10 pounds of story into a 5 pound bag.B.J.

Or another one, if Cadence is also as eternal as Celestia. I can only imagine that Celestia is tired of living in a palace full of ghosts of ponies past.Kelly Yonerhttp://twitter.com/RivalynCrimsonnoreply@blogger.com
