You can always just cut yourself off from the entire Internet until you get the chance to watch the episode! Works for me. :amazing:

Can you hook up a streaming thing so I can watch along from a legal limbo?

I don't have the money to buy a season pass or a cable subscription, either. I probably won't even bother watching until I get bored and it's available for free or cheap on a service I already have, which is what I did last season. :pinkieshrug: I don't even bother looking at fan works, the comics, or the toys anymore. The show is pretty much it for me, and I like a number of shows a lot more than this one. I just enjoy it enough to keep watching. So never mind me, my opinions are pretty much irrelevant, especially in this discussion. :-P

edit: Like, I'm pretty sure I'm in a tiny, tiny minority on this site, and that's fine with me. I don't mind that other people think differently than me about this, and likely think I'm a nut (which I am, but for reasons unrelated to my tastes in entertainment, hopefully :v: )

Reading this article about the term "anime", I came across this bit:

A good friend of mine who doesn't have an interest in animation, just the other day saw an image of the Kill la Kill character Nui Harime on my phone, and asked if it was something from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Looking up the character, I can see how you could mistake it for something like that, especially with EqG. :pinkieshrug:

Rainbow Rocks was a much better film I think. Better villains, and the only real flaw is not giving Sunset Shimmer enough screentime.

It's generally more liked, yes. Also, if you're like me and didn't really care for EqG because so much of it was focused on "This horse doesn't know how to be human, ha ha!" then it also has the advantage of that being almost completely gone.

Also the villains are pretty awesome and showing up in a lot of fan content.

It depends on what you disliked about the first one. EqG1's setting and character design were the biggest turn-offs for me, and since EqG2 changes pretty much nothing in that regard, I was still unhappy with it. It's definitely less bad than the first movie, but I'll still take any episode of the magic pony cartoon over the Dougworld teenage human movies.

Even their voices.
As humans, Celestia, Sunset Shimmer, Flash Sentry sound as they should, they're basically regular speaking voices. But the show also has cartoon character voices like Pinkie, Snips and Snails, as well as heavily affected normal voices like Rarity or Applejack that are acceptable when they're fictional creatures. But since they're humans in this show the whole effect comes across as weird.
Maybe I'm overly sensitive to this. :-P

There have been TV promos for weeks now. :v: They're spoilers though, so we discuss them in the Spoiler section.

They're already dropping. They've just been posted in the spoiler forum.

Huh, I never really considered that either. I suppose that's why the real Celestia stands out so much, since she sounds so calm, reserved, and serious even though she's a magical pony in a world of magical ponies. In Dougworld, though, she pretty much entirely loses that aspect, while characters like the ones you describe just sound ridiculous when they're in a modern-day, non-magical human world.

I just figured that making Celestia a principal was playing on her tendency to act like Albus Dumbledore.

Well, the school needed an authority figure. Where Princess Celestia actually shares many of Dumbledore's traits and mannerisms, Principal Celestia really has absolutely nothing in common with him other than being in charge of the school. There's none of the kind and nurturing nature of the Princess in her, just a school administrator with her voice.

Looks like it's Twilight's eye, to be exact. Hard to tell because of the screen resolution.

I don't think it's Twilight's eye. Her eyes have pointed corners near her nose, a feature which I'm not seeing in what Octavia posted. (Rarity's eyes are like this as well, and there were a few shots in S1 where Fluttershy had her eyes all the way open and they also had those points, though since then her eyes have been rounded like those of most other ponies.) The color looks next most similar to Rainbow Dash's eyes, but Rainbow Dash has only three straight eyelashes at the top of her eyes, not six curved ones.

First off, here's something new about that Bound Together book.

I wrote, and Adlynh drew. (I'm aware there are typos. They will be fixed for the printed book)

Second, this makes me wonder how Spike was educated. I guess Twilight just taught him pretty much everything, though I'm still a little surprised that this question's never been officially raised.

It's Pinkie. It's just not a very high quality print — you can clearly see a white box around it and everything — so that explains why it's not blue. A lot of Price contestants wear shirts that they clearly had custom made, some literally just written by hand with a permanent marker; this was probably a rush job at the local print shop.
