brand new models created for the beavers and raccoons, which hadn't appeared in any previous episodes before
*checks MLPFiM Wiki, then checks the show* A couple of the beavers were in "The Cutie Mark Chronicles" during Fluttershy's flashback, and the raccoons were in "The Return of Harmony Part 1" eating the rounded-up mass of cotton candy clouds. I don't recall the larger, shaggier beaver showing up before, though. (Yes, I typed that without realizing the Accidental Innuendo at first)
@KTT: Interesting mane/tail texture.

@Ed
I came up with new character names!
Sturmmann Snips and Rottenführer Snails.

Not only were brand new models created for the beavers and raccoons, which hadn't appeared in any previous episodes before, but the gray rabbit on the performance team also had a unique model to differentiate her from Angel and his twin, with a slightly larger head and front paws as well as obvious eyelashes to indicate that she was female.
That's a neat touch. I never noticed.

It's a sitcom!

I like that you can tell that Trixie's repentance is legitimate because she's so self-centered and hypocritical about it.

But to think, a fair amount of people thought that either Trixie would end up as The Dragon to King Sombar, or that the amulet would at least have some connection to him, but both theory's got compleatly and utterly Jossed
Actually, it's still entirely possible that the amulet is related to King Sombra.

So Trixie couldn't do her job and has to work on a rock farm to stay alive, how did she get those golds she used in the cold opening? Did she steal them?

Reading through Background Pony. Disturbing, but oddly optimistic.
Usually, anyway. Rarity's breakdown has me going through sympathetic heart palpitations. Eurgh.

Another one of those little 'extra' scenes I thought up.
- Twilight, Celestia, and the SA delegates are in the library or some other private chamber, maybe sharing a glass of wine or something
- Celestia and one of the horses are discussing something in (some equivalent of) Arabic
- Twilight becomes curious, pulls out a book of linguistic spells
- She quietly flips through the book until she finds a translation spell*, then activates it and listens in
- They're actually talking about Twilight— Celestia is praising her and her progress, but notes that she seems to have a habit of eavesdropping on others' conversations; she glances over at Twilight and smiles a bit
- Twilight blushes and deactivates the spell

@Pyrkete: Shortskirtsandexplosions is a real Magnificent Bastard of a writer.
That would be running a punchline into the ground.

I like how there's already some fanart about Lyra not not giving a feather. New Lyra meme that has nothing to do with humans?
I welcome it.

Zecora's role as Yoda to Twilight's Luke Skywalker seems to be a reference to Faust's original plan for Season 1. Namely, that there would be more of a focus on adventures, making it necessary for Zecora to serve as Twi's secondary mentor.
Is it too early to list this as a Development Gag for "Magic Duel"'s trope page? I don't think it would count for that trope if Zecora's mentor role actually becomes a season-long thing—what's the likelihood of that happening?

I don't think that's strong enough to count as a Development Gag yet.

Hm. I wonder if we're going to get any Minecraft crossover pictures with Trixie.
You must relay your intel to Luke and Yoda on Dagobah!
Dark, dank, swampy... huh, I guess the Everfree is like Dagobah.
Am I the only one here who's read Artemis Fowl?
I've read all but The Time Paradox.

I've read all. Including that graphic novel of the first book.
I have a message from another time...

I've always been curious about that graphic novel version. Does it deviate from the book any?
