I hope for some Batman references.

I'm guessing that the mysterious mare will be Trixie. Performing all these feats of heroism fits her need to be the center of attention at all times.

Am I the ONLY one who feels sorry for Basil?

Yeah, the new episode is gonna be a toss up for me. (since RD could get obnoxious as well)

True.

RD calls Scoot her 'chum'.

Scoot squees uncontrollably.

RD tells her to get a grip.

Naw. I don't see how it w/could have turned out differently though.

Mysterious Mare is Nightmare Moon acting as superhero by day.

Dude was in a position of power. He could choose to sleep anywhere, and could have stayed there indefinitely, if he had been unmoved by Fluttershy's scolding.

He doesn't need someone to feel sorry for him.

My lip quivered when she scolded him. Never have I seen someone punished for the crime of sleeping (yeah, yeah, I know dangerous sleeping but I still don't think he knew how dangerous it was)

Who's Basil?

I think the hero will either be Drippy or Firefly.

Maybe the mystery mare will be all the ponies.

If tomorrow's episode introduces cops,

we've got some potentually serious fannon rewriting to do.

Am I the ONLY one who feels sorry for Basil?

Huh? From where I sit, most of us have been agreeing with you.

Oh come on. If he didn't know, after Twilight explained it, then he was just being willfully ignorant.

And Fluttershy was mad because he decided to go all Smaug on a bunch of creatures much weaker than him. Coulda just blew more smoke or something, but nope. He thought that the best course of action was to climb out of his cave and have a good old fashioned barbeque.

@Apple y'think it'll introduce cops?

They'll be useless, you can be sure of that. Only the mane cast and the sisters are allowed to be competent in this show (I know there are probably loads of contradictions to that, but that's the general feel I get)

I assumed he thought she was over reacting. Maybe his smoke hasn't proven dangerous anywhere else he's stayed (well it wouldn't have because he's clearly sleapt before)

If there are cops, they sure haven't been helpful so far.

Zecora.

Who's Basil?

The red dragon from "Dragonshy." Basil is his fanon name.

@ Ginger

It might. I'm kinda excited to see if it does.

And don't worry, I have backups for Peeler in case the show ever burns his fanon.

Thank you and no I don't

@Ginger: Taking a nap isn't what he was being scolded for. He was being scolded for inconveniencing and possibly endangering hundreds if not thousands of ponies. There's nothing wrong with taking a nap. There's a lot wrong with taking a nap if doing so is going to cause trouble for everyone else in the area. If somebody blows clouds of toxic smoke whenever they go to sleep, it isn't exactly jerkish to tell them to do it somewhere where you don't have to breathe it.

I can agree that RD was a bit of a jackass by kicking him in the face over it, but it's not like Twilight didn't try to reason with him first.

@Apple: Oh YES, also didn't consider Scootaloo, I really hope she will be in this one, I missed her last week.

Well, while we still can, let's try to analyze the percentages of likeliness for the Mystery Superhero being:

-One of the Mane Six. Could be Pinkie being Pinkie or Fluttershy living out her hidden side.

-A regular minor character.

-A former one-shot character (come on Trixie!).

-A completely new character.

While I of course wish for Trixie, it ain't gonna happen . What minor character Pegasi are there? Scootaloo? Main 6 member, I'm also not seeing as very likely....except maybe for Fluttershy..... hmm.

Most likely is a new character, but I'm not sure how happy I am with this; because it can only go two ways: either we will see her for the first time in the reveal (which is pretty lame) or, even worse, it will be as predictable as the tortoise in the last episode (we will meet the new character out of costume at the beginning of the episode..and...wow, what a surprise ^^).

It will be G3 Rainbow Dash.

I can't feel sorry for the dragon when he had his part in escalating the conflict. Both parties are to blame to some extent.

• Twilight tried to reason with him and he basically told her to screw off (and yes, I saw the point about him possibly considering ponies insignificant and no, that doesn't actually work for him, that just makes him seem like a bigger jerk)
• Pinkie tried to be pals and he trashed her outfit
• Rarity tried to run off with his treasure
• Dashie kicked him in the face
• Fluttershy was too busy cowered behind a rock to help Twilight with her diplomacy that might have averted the whole thing if Fluttershy's affinity for animals had come into play

The only ones I feel sorry for here are Twi and Pinkie for getting clobbered for trying in earnest and AJ for getting clobbered because everyone else other than Twi and Pinkie were being idiots.

@JT Think about it from his POV. Clearly he's sleapt before, and unless he's genocided a whole other country in the past then his smoke hasn't been a problem until now. Under those conditions, if I was woken up by someone and told that my smoke caused problems, I'd assume that they were just over reacting. He's probably been napping around the world for hundreds if not THOUSANDS of years without issue

So why is it such an issue to expect him to be able to find a less ecosystemcide-y place to sleep? If he's been doing it without incident for hundreds of years?
