S07E01: Celestial Advice

Postby Wayoshi (?) » Wed Apr 12, 2017 3:09 pm

When Twilight Sparkle agonizes over Starlight Glimmer's future, she gets some advice from her own mentor, Princess Celestia.


This thread is for discussion of the episode. This episode airs at 11:30 AM Eastern / 8:30 AM Pacific on Saturday, April 15!

Official preview clips and images are okay to post, as is speculation about the episode.

(drunkill edit: You can livechat the episode with us in the channel #ponyday in our (unofficial) discord server, which can be found here.)

I haven't watched the clip but the expressions on Spike and Twi tell the whole story.

New season, get hype.

Interesting start time too, shifted by half an hour.

Just a note as I've been asked a couple times already -

I really think these two episodes are going to be fairly separate. I will merge these threads if there's a To Be Continued in-between at airing. But with different titles and looking at the synopses, while the eps may be very related I don't think we have a two-parter here.

:-/ make us think were getting a Celestia Episode with that title and it looks to be 30 minutes of Celestia and Twilght talking about how awesome Starlight is.

Someday, if this show lasts long enough, we're going to get an episode that consists of nothing but Celestia eating cake for 22 minutes. Would you be happy then?

So without having watched the promos... is this the episode, where Starlight Glimmer is sent far, far, far away, only ever to reappear as occasional tertiary character in toy sets?

Well given the synopsis for the very next episode, I highly doubt we'll be that lucky.

Twilight sends Starlight Glimmer off to Our Town with instructions to make friends. Then some ancient baddy shows up and Starlight, Trixie, Night Glider, Sugar Belle, Party Favor, and Double Diamond have to restore the elements of harmony and save Equestria. From now on the show will be all about their adventures and fans will just have to hope that one day the writers give us a Twilight episode.

(I'm joking. Probably)

I finally got home and watched this, and I can't believe no one mentioned Spike's line at the start yet. "Twilight? Are you reading during a party... again?"

It's funny, but I also know well what it's like to have to vanish into another room for a while if I've been at some sort of social event for long enough. :-I

Image Starlight, you did a great job on your test with the Changelings.

Image You call that a test?

Image Yes, and you did beautifully.

Image Queen Chrysalis!

Image Relax...Chrissy and I planned this months ago.

Image You mean the whole thing with the Changelings and capturing everypony and everything was set up?

:evil: Had you going with that threat at the end, didn't I?

The entire series is Celestia's long-term plan to become too unimportant to kidnap.

I like the idea of having a two-part premiere episode solely for the purpose of sending Poochie back to her home planet.

They updated the logo.

Also, Spike distracting Starlight while Twilight measured the wall.

And Pinkie's very efficient when it comes to getting ready for the party. :serious:

After 7 years, Celestia finally gets characterisation.

And it's amazing. :gotcha:

Celestia being all "I was not aware I was an expression" is also hilarious.

She's getting a lot of screen time in this episode.
