There could always be other time travel spells.

What Starswirl should have done was just pop into the future and steal the finished spell from Twilight.

And hey, don't feel bad Starswirl. Sure Twi got to be an alicorn and nopony in Ponyville knows who the heck you are, but you got a wing in a library named after you. That's something, right?

@Turtle: Nah, it's one-use-only. He still obviously wrote it down for others to use, though.
Won't be online for a while due to the holidays. Stay safe, happy and warm!

Everyone will remember Star Swirl in the same way people remember Fermat.

Man, I hate remembering things fer Mat. Can't that asshole take notes or something?

Okay, that was pretty stupid. Sorry.

I feel compelled to point out in Star Swirl's defense that just because he didn't understand the elements as well as Twilight doesn't mean he was Forever Alone or anything. He could easily have had his own circle of friends, but he just never realized how important it was.

[up][up][up][up] Pierre de Fermat. A lawyer/mathemetician who is best knwon for his Last Theorem. An unfinished mathematical theorem that remained unproven, one way or the other, for ages, until 1995.

I don't know if this has already been mentioned, but a company called 4th Dimension Entertainment will be releasing show-accurate plushies this spring.

That Twilight plushie looks darned nice. smile

Who?

Exactly.
Everything is Possible.

But some things are more Probable than others.

What kind of a name was Ferment? Was he a brewer?

[up][up]You're spelling it wrong, its Fervent. He was always really stoked about stuff.

[up]At least you have money. I'll be sitting over here in piles of debt and pony merch.

I already have a crapton of student loans. Like that's gonna stop me. I have been waiting since season one for decently priced show accurate plushies.

[up]Hey, if you weren't willing to shell out hundreds of dollars on ebay for quality plushies, that's your fault.

Hey Turtle, where are you getting that ponies seem to live for 100's of years? Granny Smith? If that's the case, that's one example that might be a minor retcon or Series Continuity Error in regards to "Winter Wrap Up".

Ya know what I want with the series manual that's coming out? Ages. Concrete ages as of all the mane and supporting characters as of Season 3. For too long have we been confused by Vague Age, it must end I say! End!

You guys haven't heard of Fermat? Come on! That's one of the easy ones. It's not like asking about Eisenstein or Borel or Galois or whatever.
Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.

This is what I said "Ponies do seem to live into the 100's"

Into the 100's ... not 100's of years. Big difference there :P

It's a good parallel to this episode, too. Completing Star Swirl's Unfinished Spell is like solving Fermat's Last Theorem.

Wait, solving math equations gives you immortality and godlike magical powers? Damn, I picked the wrong major.
