@Wryte - The call was not his fault. The conversation was.

Only 8 minutes left. *sighs* At least Discord was hanging around for far longer time and honestly, I don't think even that was long enough. :/

I'm hoping for a Chrysalis season 3 comeback.

he mentioned Have Group Will Travel a spell that is being removed in that patch

Specifically, it's a spell that lets you summon up to 39 other people to the caster's location.

The more accurate comparison might be that her Mass Teleport

got nerfed. :P

Chysalys was on screen from the start. Every time you saw Cadance in non-flashback, it was Queenie

Build a fool proof system, and the world will create a better fool. My random thoughts

#269330 d Roy Mon, 13th Aug '12 7:55:34 PM from Princeton, New Jersey

No, Cadence don't! Flying hearts tend to make men derpier!

Then again, pony flying heart, yeah.

Ooooooh, pretty. Does this mean no Rainbow Cannon?

Saying she teleported them all the way back to Ponyville in Dragon Quest? Nope, just into a different spot in the forest.

That's what I go by.

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

And I thought the defeat of Discord was anticlimactic. :/

Very climatic indeed.

Yeah, I don't think her teleportation is that broken. My guess is that she just zapped herself to the edge of the forest, which for all we know is fairly close.

@D Roy: It isn't that bad; it's been established multiple times that friendship can do stuff like that, and I'm pretty sure that "love" qualifies as a type of friendship. It's cheesy, but it makes perfect sense for the setting. And really, pulling the elements out a third time would be kind of boring.

Every time Pinkie appears, something really fun happens.

Yeah, Pinkie is, in my eyes, the star of this episode.

Well, when you have 2 episodes to work with, there isn't nearly enough time to resolve a villain without being mildly anticlimactic.

@ d Roy

I like you, because you like Pinkie.

I like the idea that Cadence and SA inadvertently created a magical feedback loop.

"I've come to the conclusion that this is a very stupid idea."

#269339 Perpetual Lurker Mon, 13th Aug '12 8:01:25 PM

Dragon Quest is actually the only time I can think of outside of Feeling Pinkie Keen that Twilight could have teleported as a solution to the problem at hand, and she did, so I fail to see the trend of her forgetting that ability conveniently.

Ya know, I can't help but facepalm whenever I still see people on DA accusing Candance of being a Mary Sue even after the episode came out.-_-

#269341 Japanese Teeth Mon, 13th Aug '12 8:03:25 PM from Meinong's jungle

Yeah, your typical Mary Sue doesn't usually get imprisoned that easily by the villain.

#269342 Psi 001 Mon, 13th Aug '12 8:03:34 PM

She isn't exactly developed in terms of flaws, but that's more due to the fact most of her screentime was done via an imposter.

#269343 edvedd Mon, 13th Aug '12 8:03:38 PM from Over there. Maybe?

Well, we don't know enough about her to judge. There wasn't enough time to see her flaws.

<—-Doesn't know what Mary Sue really is. Doesn't care anymore.

Anyone else like that?

It's really subjective, so I don't really bother.

YAH YAH YAH YAH YAH!

Day after day
your home life's a wreck
The powers that be

You get no respect
You get no relief
You gotta speak up and yell out your piece!
So BACK OFF your rules!
BACK OFF your jive!
Cuz I'm sick of not living to stay alive!
Leave me alone, not asking alot!
Don't wanna be controlled!
That's all I want!
That's all I waaaaaaaant!
YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!

... That's what I said when they pulled me over for speeding. And all of Ponyville joined in! It was awesome!

Just thought I'd share that.

I don't think Cadence is a Sue at all. She's alright.

I told her that she wouldn't just be gaining a husband, she'd be getting a great sister too.

..........I'm not sure what to make of this quote.

Why did AJ just pull out a hat?

I still have my personal headcanon of how she got Luna out if the way for the episode:

My headcanon is that she just slept through everything. The fanart is too cute to resist anyway.

Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.

#269350 Psi 001 Mon, 13th Aug '12 8:07:10 PM

Admitedly this episode, while rather good, isn't a great example of a taster to viewers expecting it to subvert the usual sickly sweet reputation of the franchise.
