The korean guy next to me at the library seems to be having a stress breakdown. Quick, give me something cute to put on the screen to make it all better!

I'm pretty psyched for canon, but I hope we get another winter-themed song other than Winter Wrap Up. That really only works near the end of winter.

Oh, look at that, it appears I've become BOLTED TO THE WALL!

Hey, you're the one posting all the art I've seen =P

Not that that picture isn't awesome :3

I'd honestly say that a song is a given in this episode (behold as I jinx it!)

I'm honestly kind of apprehensive, if only because the whole concept is going to give everyone really high expectations. I'd hate for this to turn into another case of the "The Best Night Ever". That said, I've also been apprehensive of the summaries of the last 2 episodes, and they turned out pretty well, so my fears are probably unfounded.

I'm not all THAT hyped for this episode. I'm pretty sure it's gonna piss me off, actually. (that's just the way I am)

So I'll just wait and see what I can take from it

I'm not particularly hyped either; given the choice, I'd honestly rather have a Ponyville episode based on character interactions that get the history of Equestria. This season hasn't been bad by any means, but the episodes so far seems to have been more plot-driven than character driven, if that makes any sense. It seems to be "the characters are put in a situation that causes a conflict" rather than "a conflict develops on its own".

I haven't forgotten the lesson taught by Best Night Ever yet so I won't expect anything yet.

But... even just the preview we've seen has made mention of how Earth Ponies possess a vital skill that the other races don't have. Heck, it's probably one of the more vital skills, convinient though weather control and such are.

Or are you just expecting to be mad because whatever their role, you're expecting that you'll want them to have done even more?

My theory is that stuff does happen naturally on it's own, but the ponies have to manipulate it to prevent issues. Like weather; the Pegasi don't necessarily have to create it, but if they don't do it themselves, it does out of control. Weather control pretty much prevents any weather-related natural disasters; if you control the rain: no floods, control the wind: no tornadoes or hurricanes, etc. Similarly, the sun and moon might move on their own, but be inconsistent or unpredictable; Unicorn control makes the days and nights a consistent length.

It can't be equal, or at least, Celestia and Luna don't do equal times. Otherwise, there would be no point to the Summer Sun Celebration, which is the summer solstice.

I can't believe noone has ever discussed this before. So what Disney character do you think each of the Mane Six would be?

Here's what I came up with

Twilight Sparkle - Belle
Rarity - Cinderella
Pinkie Pie - Esmerelda
Applejack - Tiana
Fluttershy - Pocahantas

I can't think of anyone for Rainbow Dash

It's pronounced "Te-ah-low-ve"

#54991 Enlong Fri, 16th Dec '11 7:40:00 PM from The Magitek Holyland from The Magitek Holyland

Rarity wants to be a Cinderella story, but I think she is more like Tiana. A total workaholic.

But not completely like Tiana, since Tiana didn't think much of the whole Cinderella story thing. They don't map very exactly.

@Enlong: What I meant is that they keep a schedule rather than having the day and night switch at random like they did while Discord was in control.

I'm 5 pages late for this again, but i need to point out Dash should be a monk.

Nah, I'm going with the World Of Ponycraft interpretation. Dash is a Barbarian there.

The benefit of controlling the Sun is that you can fix the calendar so no more leap-year nonsense.

And now due to the fact that apparently before Equestria was truly founded the Earth Ponies were the downtrodden bunch, I'm now thinking that this song

is Suspiciously Apropos Music.

Tick Tock, goes the clock/ He cradled and he rocked her/ Tick Tock, goes the clock/Till River kills the Doctor.

#54998 Enlong Fri, 16th Dec '11 8:50:22 PM from The Magitek Holyland from The Magitek Holyland

Again, I'll bet each "tribe" had its own position as to who the downtrodden ones were.

I think someone already posted that; we had a debate over whether Rarity's Fluttershy-hat is too gaudy for a pony like her to wear.
