One question that has popped into my head:

SO is it okay to make a timeline of Equestria in chronological order.
1. Three Ponies Tribes Era
2. Age of Snow and War (Wendigo Era)
3. Founding of Equestria
4. Discord's Reign
5. Overthrow of Discord by Luna and Celestia
6. Imprisonment of Princess Luna
7. Frontier Age
Spoiler

8. Return of Princess Luna
9. Changeling Attack on Canterlot
10. Crystal Empire Era
So what year will we use for the timeline?

If they make a joke, I'd bet it would be that the crystals taste horrible and he can't believe that many gemstones could go to waste.


Now, having finished my pony run of the new X-com, I need to make a small, pony based X-com post to honor a little pegasus.

Double Rainboom is slacking.

Never mind, after hearing that one character talk, and realizing the show's based on him, I stopped watching. Especially when I couldn't understand what he was saying.

Yes.

I'm imagining things turning out similarly. Spike won't be able to eat the crystals that make up...well, everything, but he'll definitely give it a try.

Urgh, yes. I don't have time in my life for bad voice acting.


Incidentally, Anarion's right that any XCOM character named Lyra automatically becomes a kung fu psyker badass.

Also it's really easy to run out of male pony names.

Yes.

So, which one's the changeling disguised as Spike?

I think it's the one that hangs around with Rarity all the time. I don't like the way he keeps looking at her.

Could be the "Superman Problem" where Celestia can't just cut loose with her full power or risk injuring everyone in the reception hall there.

Where is this release date?

This is my gripe. All these spoilers and promos and synopses and clips and clarifications and so on, but not one word about when it's going to air.

I like the artist's idea for the brush. A band to go around the hoof instead of a handle. Very clever.

Yeah, the voice acting was agonizing. I honesty don't think Dusk's Dawn was good. What it is, at least, is a testament to how much volunteer time people are willing to put into projects for this show and kind of a milestone, since 20 minutes of purely fan-made television, even amateur television with terrible acting and stilted animations, is still a significant effort.
