I wonder if Not-Tirac is going to threaten to kill Spike like Tirac in the g1 cartoon did.

It's Tirek! :awesomedash:

This clip gives me some hope that maybe the other Princesses aren't being kidnapped again. Maybe that bit in the clip is just Tirek fantasizing, hence why they don't have cutie marks. :ponder:

So, any guess on who's voicing the baddie? He doesn't sound like any of the usual actors.

I think it's more that lots of people doing villain voices try to sound like Tim Curry.

:pinkieshrug: Honestly, it sounds like Jeremy Iron's Scar, but that would never happen.

Seriously, any one of the three (David Warner, Malcolm McDowell, and Tim Curry) would be perfection.

Please excuse me while I cry in a corner for the next eon or so because I'm out in a cabin with family during Friday night, all Saturday, and the first half of Sunday. God... damn... it. Not that the trip won't be fun... but goddamn it... That's gotta be the darkest thing pony has ever done. That voice is incredible. I can. Not. Wait. If this bitch gets leaked somehow (which it won't), I'm watching the shit out of it.

This is a very strange emotion of :awesomedash: :amazing: :twonk: mixed with :fluttersmith: :rainbert: :saddershy:

I have to admit, I am now slightly optimistic for this episode. There now seems to be a slight chance that the other Princesses won't be getting kidnapped.

:v: Maybe I won't have to go on a rant about how Meghan has become My Little Pony's Brannon Braga.

Also, in 30 minutes Meghan and Tara are doing a press conference on Youtube.

Did you see the Hub's ads? There was one clip where Tirek was sending the other three, sans cutie marks, into some other dimension.

My guess is Tirek turns the princesses into his dragons for his chariot like in the G1 special, and of course Twy & co will have to turn them back.

Yes and after seeing this new clip, I am thinking that MIGHT just be him fantasizing about his plans. We see the three with no Cutie Marks in that clip, and this clip would suggest he got their powers if they're missing their cutie marks, but we know they're giving their powers to Twilight.

:pinkieshrug: Hey, I'm trying to be optimistic, and the Princess getting kidnapped again would really kill this episode for me.

My guess is that Discord fails to stop Tirek, and in one last desperate move, the other three give all their magic (including the magic that provides the cutie mark) to Twilight, in hopes that she'll be able to use all that magic herself (assuming she's now better at magic than even Celestia or Luna) in order to kill Tirek.

Yup, them ditching their powers to Twi so Tirek doesn't get them is what the second episode's arc is about.

I assume we would know by now if Tirek was voiced by someone high profile. Or maybe they are saving that reveal for the press conference coming up soon.

Yeah, I think we've got the basic gist of this now- the Princesses give Twilight their power so that Tirek can't steal it from them.

Is it just me or did that pony Tirek drained have basically a 4chan cutie mark? If Tirek wasn't evil already... :v:

(yes yes it was 4 gems, but still)

Really, we've been watching two shows all this time, if you think about it. All of the two-parters plus MMC, taken in order, are Twilight Sparkle's Journey Into Princesshood epic, and everything else is very much the Mane 6 Ponyville Slice-O'-Life Half-Hour Friendship Hour™. Both are great, and they're interlocking stories with the same characters in the same timeline, but they really do make more sense taken as two separate stories.

:sweetielarm: MEGHAN AND TARA PRESS CONFERENCE STARTING VERY SHORTLY :sweetielarm:

Edit: Hub Network exec wearing a Dr. Whooves shirt :v:

Man, YouTube is not great at the streaming. None of the snippets of video we've seen so far make any sense, and there's only 29 seconds of it, 12 of which is the title card. :v:

OK, stream status: Completely useless. They were not prepared for this, apparently. Hopefully they will post a non-terrible version of it later.

Well he did escape pony-Hell, I imagine he needs a few feedings to get badass again.

Also oh my god you guys Tirek is in gen 4. I will buy literally every Tirek toy.

MY FANFIC WHERE TIREK AND CHRYSALIS TEAM UP TO FORM THE BEST VILLAIN TEAM EVER IS ONE STEP CLOSER TO BEING REAL. :twonk:

I don't even know what's going on with that. It's seems like it's not actually live, but it buffers a few seconds every minute or so, and it seems to skip between different parts of the video with different volumes. What is going oooooon. :psyduck:

Edit: People in the chat for the stream are trying to play Pokemon while the video buffers. :gotcha:

I have to say, while there is a lot I'm not happy about for the finale, I really like this villain, and could possibly be one of the best ones yet.

I have to say though to clarify my own opinion, while I'm not so happy with what I believe to be going on (and doesn't have to do with the other 3 princesses possibly going, I don't think that'll happen :v: ) I'm not going RUINED FOREVER! :flail: It would take a lot for that. :-P

So, I guess they're going to really take their time getting that EqG spin-off off of the ground then.

Imagine having EqG replace FiM's airtime and waiting until like spring of 2015 for FiM to air over the summer. :twonk:
