@D Roy: On Twilight able to make force fields.

Twilight used a smaller force field back in the Discord episodes. The force field spell is quite important.

You there! Check out my Youtube Channel! The power of Ponies compel you!

It's not clear that was a normal forcefield. I always useeassumed it was a Harmony Bubble since it also undid the chaos.

Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.

Mmmystery was okay, the cutaways were funny. Only big complaint is it's another 'AJ stands there doing nothing' episode, though apparently that was going to be fixed in the original script.

#269038 Perpetual Lurker Mon, 13th Aug '12 2:16:24 PM

I still don't think that you can fault an individual episode for not including a character heavily in the plot. Character focus really doesn't have any bearing on quality, IMO.

#269039 ATC Mon, 13th Aug '12 2:17:19 PM from Sleeping

I really liked how AJ wasn't guilty. If she was she would have honestly given away the whole thing.

As said it was more it was another episode she didn't do anything at all, especially since every other pony had some amount of involvement. Season Two wasn't that good a run for her, even in her own episodes.

Yeah I don't get how people can fault an episode becuase "So and so who had no direct impact in the story didn't do more."

So make that a complaint about the whole season, not individual episodes. and She got featured in more episdoes then pretty much any other mane 6 this season.

As it is, AJ is immune to Pinkie's unintentional mind control.

#269045 Psi 001 Mon, 13th Aug '12 2:24:35 PM

If it's a lame critism, doesn't that compliment the episode further?

Yeah, but only a small helping of them had her doing anything character wise, hense my complaint.

So if Celestia can banish something to the moon, can Luna banish something to the sun?

Everything's been done. Everything has a meaning. However your life at best is to serve as a building block for others.

#269047 Purple Dalek Mon, 13th Aug '12 2:27:25 PM from the Moon

can Luna banish something to the sun?

Depends.

Do they need to lighten up?

#269048 Sky Strike Mon, 13th Aug '12 2:28:12 PM from Trottingham

@Chada I think they both have "banishment" as a power, and Celestia just picked the moon for Luna as opposed to, say, Manehattan.

I feel like I could touch the heavens, and sock angels.

Element of Indecision.

#269049 Japanese Teeth Mon, 13th Aug '12 2:28:38 PM from Meinong's jungle

@Perpetual: My only gripe is that it's mildly out of character for Fluttershy to damage the cake. As for the focus, I think there is an issue there, but it's less "AJ needs more time" and more that it's odd that every other character is incorporated into the plot while she just is sort of there. The fact that she's present for all the events of the episode, yet doesn't contribute anything seems a bit weirder than if she just wasn't there for some reason.

Or the banishment location varies depending on the pony. In Luna's case it was probably done for the irony. For other characters it would probably be dependent on what kind of place would be a punishment. I could see stuff like RD getting banished underground for a while or something.
