Wow, Valentines Day sure brought out the Rarispike shippers in droves, didn't it?
And now its raining flaming zombie pirahanas everywhere.
Also: the Demigod path only requires hitting Level 21. No class restrictions, so Twilight (who is obviously a wizard) could totally take said path.
I have a message from another time...
I still think Rarispike shipping is weird and creepy, but Carniscorner has some pretty cute pictures.

Except that the combination is random, so it could take an indefinite number of tries.
Yes but assuming it is random and independent, the odds are infinitesimal. Twilgiht should know things like that better than anypony.
Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.
In my mind, the many songs in the new episode helped advance the plot quicker. They didn't really have two episodes to space things out(even though it's technically a three parter, but most likely the episode was finished being produced when a fourth season was still a "maybe") , so the movement of the songs helps move the plot along without sacrificing precious time. Imagine if Twilight took 3 minutes at every pony each to see what happened to their cutie marks instead of taking 3 minutes total to check them out.

Obviously they moved the plot along, but I would have prefered if they didn't try to pack so much in in the first place.

Two episodes would have been ideal. One to have Twilight get the book, attempt the spell, wake up the next morning, discover that everything's wrong, wonder what happened, and discovering that it was her fault. Cliffhanger would either be her having no idea how to revert it, or her realizing it was what she did.
Second episode would spend the first half discovering the method and applying it to each friend in turn. Perhaps a mention of Discord. Second half would involve her ascension.

As for the thread, I'll stick around if nopony minds my company.
"Welcome. You have entered the cranial vistas of psychogenesis. This is the place of no-time and no-space. Do not be afraid."
@story Yeah...but still, there's the fact that when the episode was made, the fourth season may have not been approved yet, so they needed to wrap up things fast...but what bothers me is that with the season 4 stuff, we might not see more of the cutie mark switch stuff, since that was all said and done in season 3.
Season 4 was already paid for. Right now they'd be working on it/putting the finishing touches on.
Not when they made it. Remember these things are made a good year a head of time. Or at least started. Who knows how far along they were before they knew for a fact season 4 was going to happen
I'll rewatch it again later :D

No, That was written with it being INTENDED for it to be the end. This, was more hedgeing their bets and giving something that COULD be one if it came to that, while hoping it wasn't
