Hot damn, that video! Looksl ike we're getting an AJ/Pionkie episode, which is gonna be sweet!

Also... is it bad that my first response upon finding out Scoots was actually disabled was 'BOOYAH!'? I mean, it's just kinda neat to have it confirmed...

EXTREMELY EXCITED PAGETOPPER!

Scoots getting a Special Episode? Hmmmm. Could be very interesting as far as pegasus physio goes.

Well, that looks promising. Especially the whole "How Luna became Nightmare Moon" thing.

Fanfiction I hate.

This is going to be great. Fifteen songs! And a musical episode for Pinkie.

What could you guys make out on the Nightmare Moon scene? I'm curious.

It seems like it could be a flashback Twilight is seeing in person? The Luna in it could easily be referring to Celestia instead, and the throne room looked a lot more like the castle in the Everfree than the palace in Canterlot.

Also, I may be mistaken but it looked like, for a moment, Luna was surprised by the black that surrounded her.

This season is going to be awesome! The kind of season of which I draemed since my broniness was new!

Also... is it bad that my first response upon finding out Scoots was actually disabled was 'BOOYAH!'? I mean, it's just kinda neat to have it confirmed...

I'm really happy too. My mother was disabled and I really like the idea.

Also, Nightmare Moon flashback! Yay! Though, the adherence to canon for my fanverse is likely to diminish rapidly at this point. I'm happy anyway though.

Who caught the names of the Power Ponies and which was who?

EDIT: All I got was Radiance = Rarity.

Still, it'll be awesome to have more pony superheroes to add to Mare-Do-Well.

Wait, they finally confirmed the Scootaloo thing? I thought they'd never do it.

Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.

#384409 kegisak Sat, 20th Jul '13 1:32:41 PM

I know that Applejack was Madam Marvelous(Or something like that. Looks like a Wonder Woman expy, but could be Mary Marvel, or Miss Marvel, or whatever her name is. I'm not so up on Marvel stuff.)

I think Dash was called Zap, or something?

Admittedly, it could be a late bloomer's episode. But it's confirmed she can't fly when she should have done long ago, which hints towards a disability.

Oh, and I guess more Equestria Games episodes too, since the plot is apparently Scoots wanting to be the Ponyville Flag Bearer.

Closer-up video of the Season 4 video

—close-up enough to read what appear to be production numbers in the bottom-right corner! If that is indeed what they are, then here's which episode each clip is from:

401: Fourth clip (princesses)
405: First clip (fillies)
406: Second clip (city)
409: Third clip (song)

My mind...it's blown.

#384412 Kossmeister Sat, 20th Jul '13 1:39:55 PM from Gainesville, FL

If they do a flashback episode, I hope they do more than just when Celestia fought Nightmare Moon. Perhaps a scene with them as little fillies or dealing with Discord.

Every time a fairy says that it doesn't believe in humans, a human child dies.

#384413 kegisak Sat, 20th Jul '13 1:40:30 PM

They could be scene numbers, too. The climbing number beside it is the shot number, it looks like, so they'd need a way of ordering the scenes as well.

That said, the Nightmare Moon one being episode 1 would make a lot of sense.

#384414 Ace Of Scarabs Sat, 20th Jul '13 1:45:25 PM from Singapore

So one of Twi's first practicals is How Not To Become A Fallen Princess?

#384415 Whatshisgame Sat, 20th Jul '13 1:46:21 PM

Yeah, by "production numbers" I mean episode numbers as well as other numbers.

I wonder about the sisters episode. This'll be the first time the expanded universe will have some clear ties to the show's continuity, asuming they keep the names, which I think they will. Now I wouldn't be surprised if the book was written to tie in with season 4.

Roses are red, violets are blue.

#384418 kegisak Sat, 20th Jul '13 1:50:58 PM

That's what I mean, whatsisgame. Those are production mumbers, but I don't know they're episode counters. I learned about shot numbers when I was taught storyboarding, but we never did anything longer than a single scene. So for all I know they set scene numbers too. There didn't seem to be more than one scene per clip.

I doubt there's as many as 400 scenes to an episode, though, so you're probably right. Just offering another opinion.

Anyway, back to s4 speculation.

It would certainly be interesting if Celestia and Luna showed Twilight the ropes by telling her about their experiences when they first started out.

As for Scoots, I'm fine with it as long as the disability doesn't dominate her character. I've never liked it when a character's role in the show is just "the disabled one". Fortunately, the writers are good enough not to fall into that.

Wow! It'll be awesome if that really is the first thing we have to look forward too! Though, my fic is likely to end up jossed before it's even written! (Not that I care. I've been planning this for ages and I want to see the canon events more than I want to maintain the crumbling illusion that my fanverse isn't an AU.)

I bet too that it's part of the princess training. A warning of how bad things could get.

#384423 storyyeller Sat, 20th Jul '13 2:09:59 PM from Appleloosa

Getting jossed seems to be a regular hazard of writing fanfics for an ongoing show. It'd be more surprising if you ended up completely right.

Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.

#384424 Sereg Sat, 20th Jul '13 2:10:35 PM from South Africa

That'll certainly make sense. Buy the way, Applelight, it looks like you'll soon see canon earth pony superpowers. But I'll continue my list of legends. I'm actually enjoying it. And I'm glad that you liked the first three at least. I think I'll go add number ten now.

"Never forget that you have access to incomparable, earth-shattering powers and that there are any number of beings in the world who wait for any chance they can find to take advantage of those powers, if you don't just go around the bend from the stress and dissatisfaction of your role yourself.

Well, Sleep tight!"
