They haven't gotten to radar yet, and their wireless bandwidth is still only good enough for telegrams.

I wonder if we've seen any straight-up, non-jukebox radios or boomboxes... Oh right Vinyl's sound rig. Still, small personal radios seem remarkably rare in Equestria.

They can't have TV. If they did, then they would be able to watch themselves.

Duh.

On an unrelated note.

Twilight used a bubble shield against Discord.

Shining Armor used a giant bubble shield to ward off the changelings.

They're siblings.

Coincidence?

You'd think they'd have a magical substitute for TV, using scrying crystals and broadcast channeling techniques to acheive live and recorded transmissions.

@Kyler: Most of Twi's spells are studied from textbooks or taught to her. Rarity taught her gemhunting, Cadence inspired her to learn the Want-it-need-it spell, and Celestia personally taught her the Failsafe spell and the Unicorn Laser (Which Rarity and other unicorns in Canterlot never use, not even the guards!).

Probably.

The reason they probably don't have TV and such is because then it wouldn't be fantasy. On the other hand, arcade cabinets.

@Kyler, It's heavily implied that Twilight got inspiration for her bubble shield from shiny, Just like she got inspiration for her Want It Need It spell from Cadance

-Lightbulb-

Suddenly the finale seems to have a whole lot more subtle foreshadowing than I thought.

#292134 Ace Of Scarabs Tue, 9th Oct '12 9:19:57 AM from Singapore

So far the only unique spells I've seen Twi cast are #25 (Moustache growing) and her teleports (she's clearly not just spamming Blink and is using the equivalent of Town Portal/Waypoint teleportation when she teleports groups).

@Ace: What failsafe spell?

Burning people! He says what we're all thinking!

#292136 stevebat Tue, 9th Oct '12 9:22:40 AM

The Failsafe spell (IN THEORY) sounds like what Celestia used at the end of Lesson Zero. Possibly a mass anti-enchantment spell? Unfortunately we will never know because twilight tried using it a grand total of once and it did sparklies followed by jack squat.

The spell that failed. Safely. As in nopony was hurt.

Can you see the world like I do? Can you smile away the pain? Can you feel the cool wind blowing? Can you smell the coming rain?

Yeah, my guess is that it was sort of an Anti-Magic bubble or a dispel sort of thing that would cancel all nearby magic. Except that Discord's magic doesn't work the same way as unicorn magic so it was ineffective.

Oh, he's gonna love that.

I just watched the "Fly Away Now" clip on the last page. Thanks to the first Ponies: The Anthology, I can no longer watch Nightmare Moon getting hit with the Elements of Harmony without my mind hearing "TASTE THE RAINBOW, MOTHERFUCKER!!!"

What's more, it's probably something that could happen in the show too.

Ok, I don't understand anything that happened in the thread since I left.

Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.

#292146 storyyeller Tue, 9th Oct '12 11:41:59 AM from Appleloosa

Twilight used a bubble shield against Discord.

Shining Armor used a giant bubble shield to ward off the changelings.

I think that first bubble was a feature of the EOH, given the way that it undiscorded everything it touched. However, the sheild in Ponyville Confidential was definitely SA inspired.

No, he means the bubble shield she used to break them all away from him pulling the Elements in towards him.
