It's also the frustration of not knowing all the details and wanting a tangible enemy to fight.

Anyways logging off to rest. Tomorrow I'll hunt a HD stream and make better sense of it all.

yeah but she did realize she was overdoing a bit eventually, just, not quite enough.

I saw the jousting bit as Dash trying to toughen Fluttershy up again.

Seriously, when's the last time we've had to deal with that place, other than pay Zecora a visit?

It showed up in teh flashback of FAP.

@Blue: Seems kind of weird when it looks like she had given up on that last season (if she was ever doing that to begin with). Not to mention that she pretty much just wanted an opponent to fight and beat.

[down]More like who didn't.

For reference, she makes this face when she's searching for her quills.

That reminds me. Did anyone else get major Lesson Zero vibes from teh beginning?

Jousting still seems like it'd be painful.

@Mio: Well, real people aren't consistent in there actions all the time either. Back in Hurricane Fluttershy Dash seems to have made a conscious effort to treat Fluttershy different. But she regresses back to her old standards repeatedly. It's just the way she is.

Going few pages back:

I also liked how competent Sombra was. I definitely give him a credit for his hard work.

The problem I had is that his motivation and characterization was vague at best.

For some reason, I expected him to have a Stalin-like character.

I cringed a tad at the lack of shields. do you know how much something like that could hurt when directly impacting the armor?

[up] Yeah. Most of what we know of Sombra is his preparation and determination (in manipulating his broken horn, corrupting the place from within, and then regrowing his horn).

So, Trixie won't be Sombra's dragon? I remember when that leaked image of Trixie wearing a necklace they thought she would be appearing in the Crystal Empire episodes. Maybe she gets some leftover relic from King Sombra?

she's a unicorn, not a dragon, silly.

Yeah, he tried so much harder than all the other major villains so far.

My guess regarding RD and Fluttershy is that RD's view is basically "Come on Fluttershy, the fate of the entire kingdom is at stake so you can put up with jousting a few times". Yeah, she's kinda harsh about it, but it's not like she was bugging Fluttershy for her own amusement or anything.

And yeah, I'm assuming the book and Luna will come up again later; it would be weird to include it if they aren't going to follow up somehow.

Ponies are Made of Iron.

I totally understand what everyone has been saying about Sombra, how his defenses and preparations make him out to be an intelligent and powerful villain... but he's still boring. He has no personality whatsoever.

I saw the jousting bit as Dash trying to toughen Fluttershy up again.
I was half-expecting there to be one more scene of that sub-sub-plot. When RD encouraged FS to do it for the sake of the crystal ponies, I wanted to see FS start channeling Assertiveshy and actually beat Dash once.
That would be running a punchline into the ground.

They wear armor and the lances are strapped onto their sides.
