Eh. There's been a bunch of spoilery previews in the past. I'm probably going to avoid them too, they really went overboard with them in season 4.

Have to say, the premiere's looking interesting. Hopefully the antagonist doesn't turn out to be some generic monster or the like, because what they have is actually really good for this show.

Catching the premiere at BABSCon this weekend. Hopefully everything works out.

I've said this before, but I'd like to say again that it's really damn cool that BABSCon was allowed to show this episode like they are. I wish I could be there to be part of an entire convention's worth of :ponydrugs:.

This may be the wrong thread but this is my first rodeo watching a live season (I jumped on the pony train a little late) and I'm too cheap for cable. When/how/where do we find out who's hosting a live stream?

Edit: Disregard, I just noticed the General Show Chat thread has been updated, I'm assuming that's where.

I don't think anyone on the forums can still do it, but there are streams available elsewhere. Since i couldn't watch Robotzor's last year (too low connection at the time) i found an actual livestream which also muted all the commercials and previews. ^^ Can't remember anymore what it's called though, will see if i can post it here if i manage to watch the premiere.
If that fails, there should always be bronystate.net. :pinkieshrug:

OMG I cant believe I didn't catch the Family Guy reference! I get it now, I just wasn't on my game the other night.

In Communist Equestria, Ponies watch you.

For the first time ever, I'm absolutely not hyped for a new season premiere of Pony at all. Will watch live though, but eh. It'll likely be the usual fare. I'm kinda wishing for the relatively unlikely scenario that M.A. Larson wrote this one, instead of Meghan, because otherwise I'm expecting it to not be much different from the last 27 two-part episodes. :pinkieshrug:

Well all previews indicate the episode is about more than just Twilight. So that alone makes it quite a bit different.

I actually haven't seen many of the previews so I wouldn't know. :v:

But anyway, it's really all about that setup being really no different from before. I've come to the conclusion that this show really should do a more low-key premiere and finale for once. No grand adventures, work your toy edicts in with a more low-level plot set in Ponyville or Canterlot. It doesn't even have to be an average slice-of-life episode if you do something interesting with it, just without making the mane six deal with a world-ending threat or whatever.

From what we have seen so far, I am hoping that this'll be the low-key premiere that you describe.

I don't know how to interpret this tweet, especially given the date, but is this a backhanded announcement that Amy Keating Rogers wrote the premiere?

In my original pitch for the #MLPSeason5 premiere, I wanted Cutie Marks to be of my face. We compromised making them equal signs.
https://twitter.com/KeatingRogers/statu ... 4129613826

I could see it happening-- AKR's been with the show since day one. :pinkieshrug: I agree that it would be a huge relief if Meghan didn't write it; I've gotten pretty exhausted with her "epic" two-parters.

I thought it had been confirmed somewhere that Meghan McCarthy had written this episode, but it looks like I was wrong. Well then, it would be cool if AKR did it.

I'm still surprised at how little we've seen of the episode. Seems like there'd been a lot more preview materials and advance reviews for PTS (enough to where its episode thread was started on the Thursday of the week before it aired, even). The best I can guess is that, since Hasbro does not have a big stake in Discovery Family (unlike their 50% ownership of the Hub), they feel far less of a need to promote FiM on all the entertainment sites and such.

So excited for PONIES. It is so great waking up again on Saturday mornings and enjoying the show with everyone here.
As far the episode this should be a great episode from the idea alone. I posted a few streaming sites in the In-Season General show chat topic.

It's a two-parter, therefore somepony must become an alicorn. My guess Is that Rainbow Dash becomes Princess of Speed. Hey, it could happen :pinkieshrug:
