Evening everypony. What's going on?

We just got some previews from our favorite reality show.

SSSSSSSSSSSSQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE- EEEEEEEEEEEEE

That made an interesting...sound on my screen reader.

I'll bet a trail of Q's sounds fun.

Are you talking about me? I got no news about Equestria... well, other than Pinkie and Rainbow doing something that involved balloons and rain clouds, but I wasn't around for that.

Sorry, just saw the season 4 stuff

SO EXCITED!

Scoots episode about her not flying

NMM explanation episode

More songs, including, it seems, Luna and Vinyl

Even the target audience (kids) were asking for more Derpy and she'll be around in Season 4

SO MUCH WIN!

How is that news?

No missile pony for Sunset Shimmer.

Because, in the end, it turned the leaves of Twi's library into leaf bats. Or was it leaf squirrels? I don't remember the details.

Oh man, there is nothing better than coming home from work to find brand new pony just waiting to be watched.

So we're finally getting an episode about Scoot's inability to fly. Wonder if that will be something she overcomes in the episode, or a permanent handicap.

Weren't we just talking the other day about an AJ and Pinkie episode? I remember someone mentioning how AJ doesn't really seem to like Pinkie that much, so hopefully this episode will develop their friendship more.

Oh Luna, can't you go five minutes without being evil?

No. No! I call shenanigans! Vinyl doesn't get a song after what they pulled with that Octavia/Rarity song tease!

The good news is no alien invasion

Leaf pony bat squirrels?

And Derpy's always been popular with the target audience, a lot of kids ask when will we see more Derpy? just as often as the adults at conventions.

I don't think they ever really teased the Rarity/Octavia song. They sort of said it'd be cool and joked about it, but they obviously weren't seriously saying it would happen. That's the fandom's fault for running with it.

/facepalm

@ DCRW it was NEVER a tease, or something that was even hinted at. It was a one off comment by one of the VA's that got blown out of proportion. Someone asked Tabitha what pony she would like, like to have rarity do a duet with, and the answer was Octavia, and then, either one of the writers or one of the VA's said they had already come up with an idea of what Octy would sound like. It was just a hypothetical, "what if" thing that got blown out of proportion.

Like that "Fluttershy becomes a Dragon" rumor, again a simple comment from a VA that got blown out of proportion. When asked about episodes she liked, (I think it was Tabitha again) commented "The one where Fluttershy speaks in that dragon voice" or something to that extent, which everyone took to mean ther would be an Ep about her becoming a dragon, when she meant Bridle Gossip and Flutterguy.

Exactly! And I'm still bitter about that.

sorta

But seriously, where's the Octavia love? She obviously has loads more personality.

Leaf pony bat squirrels?

Not just any leaf pony bat squirrels. Flying leaf pony bat squirrels!

@ CDRW biter at who? The Writer/VA for simply saying something they would like to see? Or the fans who took it to extremes and made it say something it never did?

Its sort of adorable all the kids asking about Derpy.

A lot of her fannon probably comes from the Vinyl Scratch Tapes.

Speaking of, any Vinyl/Tavi fics that are actually good?

Mostly EQD for making it sound like an actual thing.

Just watched a video that had most of the stuff you mentioned, but I didn't see anything about a song with Vinyl or Derpy being there, where did those come from?

Edit: Oh, by the way, I got chills just from that storyboard with Luna. If that ends up being half as good as it looks, I'll die a happy man.

I was quite disappointed when I found out the Raritavia rumor wasn't true.

@ CDRW that came from the Q&A post, a bit further down EQD from the clip post.
