These are both winners, especially with all the 'Twilight gets corrupted' speculation that flew around after the premiere. Season four spoilers: Rarity becomes a stripper by virtue of being the only pony who ever puts on clothes in the first place.
This just reminds me of that whole fanfic thing that I think Thanqol wrote a while back where all the ponies went to a Clad club.
It maybe somewhat evil of me, but I think there might be potential for mirror abuse, and not just the shenanigans way.
Episode 3.3 (Pool)
Spoiler
Hmm, dunno if it works on non-living things. I'd like to think not, but I guess it could go either way.

Episode 3.3 (Pinkie)

That was one of my favorite points of the plot. Pinkie having a developed range of emotions and thoughts rather than being flanderized like her clones.

What evils could be wrought should this spell land in the wrong hooves?
Episode 3.3 (Pool Again)
Spoiler
I was under the impression the spell only works on ponies using the mirror pond, so to wrought some evil they first have to dip the target and get a clone. Then zap.

Right, Nana means Grandma. Though Pinkie should have two grandmas anyway even if this is the same as Ganny Pie. I'm just saying this one was probably a gypsy with knowledge of obscure legends and songs. Which could explain Madam Pinkie.

It was Granny Pie in S1E02 and Nana Pinkie this time. I'm going to go with two grandmothers myself. At least in New Zealand it's common to use a different term for maternal and paternal grandparents, though there's no consensus as to which term.
So, who else is wondering why Fancy Pants was in Ponyville?
Also, yeah, face like a previous gen pony, cute, but who would want to have that kinda face anyway?

Considering he was last seen with Rarity in the wedding photographs at the end of the S2 finale, and the look she was giving him at the time, I don't think we have to wonder at all...

To be fair, not a lot of competition on that front. There's Party of One, obviously, but that's pretty different in tone from every other Pinkie ep. Friend Indeed wasn't that great (except for Smile which I maintain is the best MLP song) and Baby Cakes brings up the rear. I'm not sure whether to categorize MMMMystery as a Pinkie episode or something else

Friend Indeed was The Smile Song. Everything else was setup for that and an example of it in practice.
I'd still give the nod to Party of One as best Pinkie episode myself. I think today's might have been more entertaining, but Party of One really stretched the boundaries for what these characters can do and was more powerful for Pinkie as a character.

Well, not self doubt, but they've seen Pinkie upset and not-energetic before. I just thought it was odd that her friends would put "being sad" past her.

Make sure you grab all the expansions is you do, the improvements are worth it. (It's also worth noting there are some very good Civ IV mods still actively being made; Civ V tended to appeal to a newer audience, and not so much of the old one (as it has more twiddling bits!)
However, one note with Civ IV - the AI plays a game of "gotcha" with you. It tends more to play to make you lose, rather than it win most of the time (and it has a tendancy to screw you worst on the turn of the autosave, so you have to go right back several turns to dig yourself out of the mess). Make sure you hit the random seed on reload setting when you start, Civ IV is kvetchy enough to warrent it.

Doesn't surprise me. Firaxis have always been fairly crap at loading times; I remember there was one promising mod I was playing in Civ III that I had to just give up on, because it was taking so long between turns... Civ IV was okay on that, most of the time, but on the big Terra-sized maps I play on, that can be annoying to reload, though usually it's not so bad between turns.
I look forward to hearing more of Celestia's and your exploits in the future though.

Yeah, s'that one (or at least the updated version of same). It like plays a couple of the pony song melodies (Art of the Dress is one, can't remember for the unlife of me waht the other one is, think it might be Winter Wrap Up.) I think it's nominally one for peace and one for war (and it starts with that when you reload. I think all the nations must have their own music or something, I dunno, I've only played with Equestria so far!)

Technicolor Jam episode - Apples sell half the jam, Filthy Rich the other half. One side that also controls supply and can pick better half for itself for sale is shown as always struggling, the other is stinking rich.
Cider episode - AJ not only makes a lot of ponies angry with her sale tactics, she makes little money on it, almost alienates her friends, and through some weird turn of events comes hoof's breadth to losing her business.
I don't know, maybe it's not outright fail, but she is easily outperformed every time she tries to sell anything despite holding all the advantages.
Also, remind me, Call of the Cutie, where we don't see if AJ had good or bad sales, Apple Bloom is apparently so frustrated with lack of progress she tries to boost sales... with pretty poor results
Jam is a deal Applejack doesn't have control over, it was already established by Granny
Cider: Okay you are mostly right here, but they were making a lot of money off of cider already just not as much as they could have.
Applebloom isn't very patient.

The Fifth Equestrian Civilisation:
Spoiler
Dear Twilight Sparkle,
My faithful student, I hope that you and Luna are managing in Equestria alright! I know it was difficult to ask you, but after a thousand years, I really did need a change of pace.
Even if it is doing the same job for a bunch of hairless apes! But Commadore Bleakbane is right, they do desperately need our help. (He's come along to advise me and... liason with the humans.)
We started out in new Canterlot. We were quite far north, and out first band of intrepid scouts soon found the ice-cap not far from us. We were surrounded by forest, and so even when I organised the first bands of workers, they couldn't do much until I and Bleakbane had explained at great length concepts like "wheels" and "blades" and "not eating rocks." We used a carrot and stick method, in the end - I offered them carrots, and Bleakbane hit them with a big stick when they tried to eat the rocks instead. I feel a bit guilty that I don't feel at all sorry for them, but the poor ape dears are quite, quite stupid...
Our plans of early exploration and expansion were slowed when we found only one set of ancient ruins, but instead encampments of brutes, who attacked our band of warriors, who had to fight them off. Well, that's what Bleakbane says they attacked first, though I suspect that to be a lie, of sorts... In any case, he did a lot of screaming and raging when it took several attacks before we had finally scattered even the first group of barbarians.
Our southern expansion was hampered by two city states (Hanoi and Yereven) being rather close, and beyond that, the Songhai, who still don't want to be friends, despite numerous offers.
But I persevered, and soon brought about a golden age by the time of 1520BC of the local calendar (according the Bleakbane - the actual locals called it Many Cold Time After Talky Horse Came, until he educated them on numbers and time via use of a technique he calls percussion learning. He says it is an advanced form of educatiative science, developed over hundreds of years of careful by Aotrs study. I rather think it is just beating them over the head with a rock until they get it right, but whatever - it seems to be working...)
A few years later, we raised some pyramids, which looked really rather nice. I'ts not a patch on the real Canterlot, of course, but it's a start. (In fact, I considered it an achievement we managed to get something as simple geometry into their heads - you should have seen some of the things the architechs - and I use the term loosely, by dear student! - came up with to start with...! My favourite was the design that was exactly the shape of a...thingy. Bleakbane, however, didn't see the funny side.)
You will be pleased to know our next task was erecting a great library, which we filled with all the knowledge we lay our hands on, plus a great deal of editions of the Beano, because Bleakbane was running out of room in his sanctum and wasn't going to get rid of them. Oddly enough, they seem to have gone down quite well with the local populace, which just goes to show...
At more or less the same time, I decided that we should start gently encouraging our new subjects to be a bit more respectful towards me, whereas Bleakbane told them he'd pull their eyeballs out of their nostrils if they didn't start worshipping me, which I thought was a bit gruesome. But fair. So new Equestria started down the path of piety, albeit with a lot of prodding, shouted directions and occasional physical violence.
We had explored our small continent, and eventually sent our second batch of settlers to found Manehatten, some distance away. (Bleakbane screamed blue murder about how far apart our cities had to be, given the proximity of the city-states and the small size of the continent.)
By 900 BC, we encountered the Polynesians, lead by Kamehameha, which for some reason Bleakbane found both hilarious and disturbing. They wanted to set up an embassy, which we agreed to, and over the following years, they gradually became friends. (It was as well, as when I first mentioned my particular speciality as a ruler, Bleakbane had a bit of a screaming fit about efficiency, and yelled about how "that was no way to run a country!" and optimisation until he had to go and have a bit of a lie down.)
A mere century later (how the years just fly by!), I had firmly established myself as the Goddess of Love, on Bleakbane's grugding advice, muttering about "best in the dreadful circumstances."
We had our first real setback in 575BC when the Songhai built Stonehenge, just before Canterlot did. I thought that was rather clever of them, but Bleakbane had another long screaming fit, and then went away for a while. When he came back, his eyeglow was twitching a bit, and he was muttering about finding iron with which to make "special gifts with which to bequeath to Askia at velocity..."
He'd brought a map back, after sending out a lot of prospectors, and having finally got the hang of iron (which took a long time - it took abou twenty years before I could stop them trying to drink the molten metal or use it as a dipping sauce) we sent out a new set of colonists into the western promentary, which was all tundra forest, but had several sources of iron. The Polynesians founded a new town quie close to where we wanted to place ours, but Bleakbane had our scouts and warriors stand on the coast and shout abuse until they went a bit further down the coast. I noticed his eyeglow was twitching again. He really ought to get that seen too...
So, Cloudsdale was founded, and we entered another golden age. The Songhai built some lovely Hanging Gardens around 200 BC, but Bleakbane started muttering about how they would get theirs soon enough.
And just recently, by dear Twilight, we had finally achieved enough divine power that I was able to channel it properly again, asn we founded Celestianity. I wasn't too sure about the name, but Bleakbane said it was fine. (He seemed a bit distracted at the time, though, when I asked him what we should call it; he was pouring over maps of the Songhai lands and diagrams of what looked like catapults and cackling manically.)
I decided to use my new-found power to enrich all the plant life, to give us all nicer food, and to spread some more beauty into the world. I think making us the envy of the world, a land of artists and beauty is the best way to show these poor monkeys how they should behave, though Bleakbane appears to think it would be better to be slap people upside the head until they build faster or until they have scientific revelations, but he's agreed to go my way for the moment.
I hope to hear from you soon, my faithful student, and with luck I shall be able to write to you again myself!
Your loving mentor,
Princess Celestia.
awesome
New episode
Spoiler
So that was really fun and entertaining. I was expecting a quiz but watching paint dry works too.
Pinkie gets more depth and acts in character and her physic defying powers are now canon. Why can she do this? Nopony knows.
The Apple being resistant to Oranges was hilarious. Looks like Twilight has her new anti-hydra spell. Fluttershy and her Merry Animals should be a fan-fic.
My only problem is why was that book hidden? It didn't need to be.
I am Flutterchaser the Generous Background Pony who is destined to Party with the Princess!
How normal. Lets try again.
I am Fluffyjack the Adorable Manticore who is destined to Eat Little Girls
Again normal.
I am Diamondbloom the Purple Farmer who is destined to Scold Equestria!
That's a little odd but still pretty normal. One more time
I am Twilight Armor the Striped Earth Pony who is destined to Discover the Crystal Heart!
....Why do all of these make sense?

There's at least four, actualy, two of which have ties with Fallout, and the original which gives every race a pony-like caste system.
Case in point: Giant Flying White Buffalos the size of elephants. Did I mention the flying? Because they can fly. And have horns and hooves and will generaly kill things in it's way. Three alicorns armed with steel? GWFB don't care.
