Yes, she is. She's coming in place of Tabitha. I think she just took a one year break from cons in general.

Well, that's good. Maybe this experience will be good enough that she'll start going around the circuit again.

And I remember hearing that the reason she didn't attend last summer's Bronycon was that she was attending a wedding in Chicago at the same time, nothing to do with Unicon :pinkieshrug:

I don't get how you just accidentally put wings on a pony that correctly match their color, especially since I don't know of any Rarity-colored pegasi.

My guess is it has something to do one of the programs they use, I mean we had a background alicorn that was yellow, and one that was gray in Manehatten , then there was the royal guard Alicorn in season 2....and that little one in Lesson Zero.... Yeah, they needa work on that.

They probably used Princess Twilight's model as the base for the dance animation but didn't swap all the assets properly for Rarity

Guard ponies, Surprise the Wonderbolt. :pinkieshrug:

They probably have tools that auto-recolour the Flash asset based on the body colour. I don't think there have been any instances where a pegasus has had one colour for their body and another for their wings. :ponder:

And to think Rarity's the only other one of them who even knows what flying is like. Considering her experience there, I imagine she's quite fond of staying on the ground now.

If you think about it, Applejack's the only one who has not experienced flying in some sort of fashion. Rarity had the fragile butterfly wings, Twilight's a princess, RD and Fluttershy are pegasi, and Pinkie is Pinkie. She's flown via baloons and her wierd flying device from GtBO...

Doesn't really count. She never had wings of any sort.

Rarity just wants to be humble, so she keeps her wings under an invisibility spell.

She's been an alicorn since Episode 1 :memories:

I'm still waiting for that episode when it's revealed Rarity's related to a princess and have to choose whether to live in yokel town or a castle made out of gems
:vogue:

No assistant dragons allowed of course

Actually, if "love conquers all" is the sole rationale behind her decision in such a case, I think she'd gladly stay amongst royalty. She thinks Spike is a nice kid, but she's never actually been interested in him or anything. Meanwhile she's always been shown to go for the handsome prince type.

One of the very first episodes I watched live, as the SA threads were created a week or two beforehand. Coming up on three years of these forums next week too.

It is still a great episode and still contains top tier songs. :vogue:

What was the real-time reaction like? Or can it even be compared to what happens nowadays?

14 episodes in and it's probably all but impossible to tell whether a particular episode is good for the show or good for the season or good in general or anything like that, especially when you're still dealing with the shock of any of the episodes being so good for My Little Pony.

From my (admittedly outsider) perspective, back then it was still pretty much :ponydrugs: all the time. Remember, FiM was being hailed for being so much better than typical kid's shows, especially in comparison to past MLP generations. There wasn't much of anything to compare it against at the time. (Owl's Well That Ends Well still feels like the only S1 episode that had any sort of major negative reaction, and given how it came towards the end of S1, I suspect that extra perspective might've had something to do with its reception.)

I didn't really join the show until the end of Season 2 so I can't say. What I DO know however, is the freak out of Canterlot Wedding being so good. I think that pretty much took everyone by surprise with how well it was knocked out of the park.
