To be fair, while he had a lot of dialogue, 'What About Discord?' was more about Twilight than anyone else.


...But, I am kinda stretching here.

Yeah I felt the pain this morning as I had an early morning errand and was like "Oh hey, I have free time to do this!.......oh..." :cry:

Admittedly though, S5 took a while to finish so I guess its just hard to break the habit.

I'm a little surprised that S6 hasn't really been mentioned all that much yet. Like, just after Twilight's Kingdom aired, Hasbro had put a photo up on the My Little Pony Facebook page saying that S5 was coming in 2015. What could be in store for S6?

Was S5 already known about at that point, or was that Facebook post breaking the news for the first time?

I think it was known about as well as we know about S6 now, which is to say that we could tell S5 was being made based on tweets from the people working on the show.

The other day I saw Scare Master on the telly, and they showed it as S5E15, which made me wonder if moving it E21 was just a one-off thing so it could debut on Halloween.

Also, isn't it time for an Off Season thread? :delight:

That's absolutely correct and was pointed out when it leaked. There's no doubt in production code it's 515

My little Pony hasn't been logically consistent and had problems with Pony Master Race since season 1. The slam-on-the-breaks 180 redemptions have always been exceptionally heinous, but also started with the very second episode.

Season 5 had probably the most heinous example of this with Uranium Spotlight, but the rest of the season wasn't too out of sorts and was generally decent, and was more or less in line with all the other questionably oversimplified morals that have been used throughout the series.

Funny video, but I figured it bared mentioning.

I think S5 actually has been better on that front, particularly in the three map episodes. For example, after first watching The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone, I remember being impressed by how Pinkie Pie didn't miraculously rally all the griffons and inspire them all to be nicer to each other, but rather started solely with Gilda and convinced just her that it wasn't a good idea to be so self-centered. Hell, even The Cutie Map and The Cutie Re-Mark were better (not necessarily perfect, but better) than past season premieres and finales, given that it took four episodes instead of just two to get Starlight Glimmer to not be a butt.

I tend to use gender neutral pronouns when speaking of people in general and use specific ones when I'm confident of what that person self identifies as.

He's done vocal work on the show now, mostly just BG stuff. I want to say he voiced someone in Friendship Games - I know he did some of the group singing in it.

In some of Lauren's initial rough sketches / brainstorming of Twilight, "she has the potential to do limitless magic, if she can get past her self-doubt." Then there's also a sketch of Twi "hidng she's a unicorn" with either a shawl or her mane.

Lol "Carousel Couture, your source for untacky tack"

EDIT: Apparently RD's house is officially the "Cloudominium?" First time I ever read that

Time to add "Big Nate" to the list of newspaper comics that made a reference to MLP:

For what its worth, "Big Nate" is a legit good strip. There's a ton of books (some original novels, others a collection of strips) available, usually in kids literature section.

I read that page myself yesterday and thought it was a really cool concept. Unicorns hiding their horns, and also maybe pegasi hiding their wings, sounds like an interesting twist to a disguise scenario.

Also the impression I got from that page of sketches was that Twilight was originally imagined as more of a Moondancer-style recluse wearing a cloak and laying low in Ponyville just studying whatever.

She'd do just fine for a MLP VA, period. Tress is one of the legendary-rank VA's of tooning it up, considering she's done pretty much all the things. Heck, she even did vocals for a Weird Al song back in the day.

And the Warners were literal fourth-wall breakers themselves, which puts them easily on the same page as Pinkie.

Plus, she already DID do an earlier-gen bit in the My Little Pony movie.

Also amusing to be reminded of how funny most of the character/location names sound to people who haven't gotten used to them. When did "Ponyville" and "Pinkie Pie" become so normal to me?
