Why would they make Night Vision Goggles able to blind you? That's terrible design.

I do think that the lack of characterization of Sombra didn't really bother me. I noticed it, and would certainly like to see more of him in the future, but I was focused more on stuff like AJ being adorable trying to keep the crystal ponies away from the fake heart, and Spike getting to be the hero.

@Gex: Right here. I think I even posted that in the thread, but that was during the episode, so I doubt anyone saw it.

@Yeller: Most NV goggles are light-amplification or IR systems, and can be glared out. Unless safeties are added, this can blind the wearer.

Yeah. In retrospect, it's not that I don't like Sombra, it's that I think he'd have been more interesting if he'd coalesced earlier on and had more lines.

Probably not Applejack, that was already Applebuck Season.

Or Twilight in Its About Time.

@Gex: Despite being a huge Homestuck fan, I didn't even think of it until other people started posting it.

His return is made more likely by the fact that this episode is explicitly setting things up that will carry on into future episodes regarding Twilight. Before, that kind of continuity would be unlikely, but now they seem to be rolling with it.

@Mio: Really? I thought that was one of the better parts of the episode, and it was really nice to see AJ get some significant screen time. They weren't the central conflict of the episode, but they were relevant to the plot, and the jokes seemed pretty well-done to me.

Ultimate Pinkie

One of the lessons I bet Twi will need to learn is to balance Dark and Light, and I bet Luna will have a huge role in it.

this is PINKIE she probably thought "night vision" meant "make it dark as night"

@lurker: I think they would have been much more explicit then just showing that he can break off and control pieces of himself.

@Hsere: The humor in this series has always been rather hit and miss with me, so those sequences didn't do much for me. I also kind of wish that the others would participate more in the central conflict like they used to.

Yeah, the lack of focus on Twilight's friends was my main complaint about the S2 finale, nice to see that they remedied it.

Applejack is still boring, though.

What is this Trixie thing? Is there a screencap somewhere or a synopsis?

@Super Gex: I actually thought that too, until I realized that she actually plays a vital role in the show: she's the Straight Mare.

@Story: They're still posting in it because there's spoilers about episodes that haven't aired yet. Screenshots from what could be the season finale.
That would be running a punchline into the ground.

Honestly I don't see how this episode is setting things up any more than other 2 parters. Celestia talks to Twilight about her studies all the time, this was no different. I suppose it sort of implies she has an actual end goal now, but that's all.

The spoiler thread's a fair length. I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for, other than to CTRL+F "Trixie" on each page.

[up] Did you forget the Lunabook?

Anyone else think Sombra looked like he wanted to eat the crystal heart there at the end? He was all licking his lips as he flew towards it. Or maybe he just likes dragon.

Speaking of eating crystals, I am now imagining Spike running around licking the mane cast after they get crystaly.
