That's why the key episodes in S4 couldn't really reference each other, since Meghan and the gang couldn't be assured that they would air in the same order in which they were produced. Of course, this might not necessarily be the case anymore, but I don't know for sure.

This is out of nowhere, I know, but I think that not only is Twilight a shade taller than everyone else now, but she's also a bit longer too- probably a function of trying to make her cutie mark visible behind her folded wings. Look at the difference between her stance and Rarity and AJ there.

("am not" looks so awkward to my eyes, but "ain't" is bad grammar. Guh.)

It's one of those "take from this what you will" things, but in Hearth's Warming Eve Spike narrates "The Earth Ponies were freezing. The home of the pegasi faired no better; the pegasi were hungry. And the unicorns were freezing and hungry." The animation kind of bears this out; the Earth ponies and Unicorns are both shown to be shivering in the snow, but the Pegasi are shown walking around outside without any winter clothing and not seeming to be bothered. Some fans who read way too much into the setting (like me!) have taken this to mean that cold resistance is one of the Pegasi racial traits (which makes sense for a high altitude flyer). If so, Twilight's alicorn status might mean the cold doesn't bother her much.

Fluttershy's sweater and Applejack's jacket are so different and both are so, so amazingly cute to me. They're cute in ways that fit their personalities!![]()

Like, if ponies actually wear jackets, why would anyone choose to wear a saddle? Even if we accept that in Equestria it's just another item of clothing, how is it practical when compared to other possible items?

Weeelllllll, this is mighty presumptious and all, but at the GalaCon 2014 panel Larson talked about the Cutie Mark Chronicles script, which had a "winter is coming" line or similiar in one of the drafts. Larson joked it was a Game of Thrones reference, and Fontra went up and, being the giant dork that he is, asked if he was serious. Larson looked at him all weird and was like "what, no". Fontra felt all dumb and went back to his seat. Here's the moment Larson talks about it. (I don't think we got a recording of the Q&A part)
Now, you gotta wonder ...

Alcoholic cider is the fastest growing segment of alcoholic drinks in the US. These days it's everywhere. So much so I suspect the ponies love of it might be one of those things tossed in as a nod to the parents. And I looked back in the episode and there are no fillies or colts drinking cider in the episode. Just adult ponies. The only filly in the episode is Applebloom and she just pours it. Never drinks it.
Of course canonically they're never going to have the ponies drinking alcohol, but cider is that perfect drink to say, "hey, maybe they are, maybe they aren't."
