I'm thinking they'll probably go the "Backstage Shenannagains mirror the events of the the play they're performing" route. If so, then the mane cast are gonna become divided over this

[up] Good idea, Ginger. Oh dear, this could become messy. In the picture, BadassKnight!Pegasus is apparently bullying HaplessPeasant!Earth Pony (at least, her flag is thrown down), while ArrogantRoyalty!Unicorn is just angrily watching.

If this is somehow mirrored... oh dear. Our Earth Pony Drama may be set aflame anew.

Hm. I'm wondering how a Radiant Historia mashup with ponies would work.

I will be disappointed if they waste a perfect chance for the Alicorn Sisters to watch the show together with some warm-and-fuzziness. And then Celestia cracks a joke about how the Mane Six added their unique friendship flavor to make their performance one of the most historically-accurate re-enactments.

[up][up][up]That's a pretty safe assumption. If it does end up like that I hope the writing is good enough. I'm personally not a big fan of that premise.

[down]Another Ego based Aesop? That or teamwork. Meh, it wouldn't suprise me, even if there would be widespread Aesop Amnesia throught.

Aww, I hope not too divided. I'm wondering how this'll all work out in the end, I'm expecting it to be less a conflict of the cast and more of a conflict of egos and competence, like Twilight having stage fright, or Pinkie screwing with the props to make it more party-riffic, Rarity being..... Herself and Rainbow Dash..... Being herself
I analyze "Geek Culture" here.

When All Else Fails, worry, that's the 14 way.

It'd be funnier if their meta-conflicts made the show more historically accurate [lol]

[up][up][up] Any particular reason why you don't like that type of premise? Is it just uninspired? Overdone?

[up]The premise is somewhat overdone and uninspired, but that has never really been a problem. Basically the second comment I added in my last post is what I'm more afraid of.

Hmm, yeah.Aesop Amnesia.

tbh, I've never really hated Aesop Amnesia as much as other people tend to. It's one of the few areas in which I compare TV to real life.

People don't change very easily. I know I had to have the same lesson punched into me about 15 times before it finally stuck [lol]

As long as it isn't overdone, sometimes revisiting an old lesson can bring new meaning to it.

[up][up][up]My problem is that its usually an indication of a writer's unwillingness to let a character develop rather than an indication that a character still has much to learn.

Also when a show actually tries to teach something I would rather that bit of realism be left out so that those lessons actually stick, and thus carry more weight.

But that's just me.

No, I see exactly where you're coming from. It's just that my default reaction isn't to get annoyed by it like some other people do.

It's a trope that I don't have any strong feelings towards

I'm sorry to derail the thread here, but I've came up with the third member of The Squad:

A Mime...who's imaginary actions actually come to life as it were. If he mimes a wall, an invisible wall will appear...if he mimes a lasso, he can tie up an enemy...and then there's his best power...miming a motorcycle! cool

It's a Charles Atlas Superpower...he was an orphan taken in by a secret order of mimes who taught him how to do it. And it comes at a price...he has lost the power to speak.

[up] YES! But a heroic version! [lol]

He's the perfect contrast to the singing knight...one uses his booming voice to blow open fortified doors and bring down buildings...the other one is completely silent but gains powers ftom it.

I can't escape ponies, not even when watching a video on Total Biscuit's YouTube channel. Apparently Fluttershy donated to charity. (at 3:46)

On the upside, Rarity's parents never found out she was dragonnapped by Feral Spike this past episode.

Eh, she's a young adult. Young adults never tell their parents anything. IT's sort of part of the deal.

Parents make up for it by barging into their children's houses unnanounced and stealing their food.

I'm looking forward to seeing what E Ps brought to the tri-race table. The thing that they can do that no others can.

[up][up][up][up]Ruining is the same as stealing as far as I'm concerned. She couldn't use it anymore.

[up][up][up]IT bugs the hell outta me too. I'd have been pissed if I woke up to find my parents sitting at my table. You just don't do that!
