Fact 15 was incorrect. Spike never appeared in My Little Pony Tales. That was one of my most favorite pre-G4 series.

They said any episode with "romantic" themes, so offhand: Hearts & Hooves Day, Canterlot Wedding, Trenderhoof: The Episode Title, Secret of My Excess, etc. Probably both Cranky Doodle episodes due to donkey shipping content.

"Donkey Shipping Content" is a great name for a jam band, BTW.

Also any episodes with "religious content," apparently. Turkey is pretends to be a strongly secular state, so episodes like Hearth's Warming Eve, where the ponies celebrate Pony Christmas and Rarity wears an ultra-religious hat and ponies of different races are all friends with each other, well, that message is just not going to fly.

I found a partial list of episodes Turkey has banned, and it's, uh, mystifying:

S1E09, Bridle Gossip: um, maybe they thought the episode was about shamanism and African religious rituals?
S1E15, Feeling Pinkie Keen: they probably took the same "blind faith is good" lesson from it that everyone else seemed to take
S1E18, Show Stoppers: ? ? ? ? ?
S2E17, Hearts and Hooves Day: the word "schmoopy-doo" is inappropriate for minors

I love Tales too.

Yeah, Spike appears in the original G1 cartoon and in the G3 specials, but not in Tales as far as I've seen. Would have been funny though, Tales is very charmingly weird in how odd its tone and characters are, so I would have loved to see how Spike would have turned out there.

Are you looking at this one, stickied at the top of General Ponies, or this one in the spoiler forum? Threads in the spoiler forum get locked at the time when a new episode thread is posted in General Ponies.

I really have to wonder if there will be a seventh season at all. Barring a delay even bigger than the one between seasons 4 and 5, the movie will be coming after S6 finishes airing. It seems to me like that'd be a great time for Hasbro to put FiM to bed and get started on G5, if they're so inclined.

Heads up to everyone: S5E21 got released by accident on the iTunes Store this morning. Per usual leak procedures, do not discuss it outside of this thread in the spoiler forum.

Pinkie Pride leaked a week early (it and Three's A Crowd got swapped at the last minute for some reason) and there were a couple of S3 episodes that also got leaked. This leak is huge, though, considering that Rarity Investigates! is only the 15th episode.

The leak almost certainly came because Scare Master was the episode after "Canterlot Botique" on the production schedule. It was probably moved so it could air on Halloween.

You'd think that Hasbro would have figured out by now how to update release dates on the iTunes Store, considering the number of episodes and comic issues that have been leaked thanks to last-minute schedule changes, but somehow this is still a problem.

I kinda expect the week before and after Halloween to be ponyless now just to make it even longer. I watched it anyway. :fluttershock:

I hope not but it could be, is it known for sure that the leaked episode is episode 21 or has that just been assumed? :ponder:

What I mean is, if it's definitely ep 21 then there's a week's hiatus between 20 and 21. EDIT:Ignore that. There's no haitus, there's something funky with the dates of 19 and 20 in the spoiler forum.

Last season, key episodes got a little corny when people could spot them a mile away and anticipate the twist. They were episodes 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, and the finale.

I wonder if they decided to shift them more toward the end so they'd be less of a cliche early on, or if they realized they'd have a mid-season break and wanted more of the map near the end.

I think the map just serves as an excuse to visit new places with different pairings without having to explain a reason why.

:shock: "looks like the map wants Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie to visit Spider Skull Island. I wonder what could be there?"

So, with the EqG movie giving us a big ol' spoiler for the end of S5:

Time loops. Seriously, Twilight's going to be doing some Chrono Trigger-esque stuff.

What do people think we're going to see happen, considering what the above spoiler allows for?
