Sorry, Mage. I didn't find the reveal that "Twi breaking down and giving into something that makes no fucking sense, and implying that she'll never test it again" was the biggie funny, heartwarming, or anything

It just made me feel sick

I can't even remember what the alleged moral of the Cutie Mark Chronicles is.

Ginger, I've got a film for you to watch. 12:01 PM with Kurtwood Smith. Actually, don't. It'd just make you angry.

Ok, so I'm never going to bring this episode up again.

Sorry that it hit you wrong Gingy, but to each his own.

My favorite moral is probably the one from "The Last Roundup, "

I'm with you there. That one struck a chord with me.

you will go to the paper towns and you will never come back

#85706 gingerninja 666 Wed, 1st Feb '12 6:10:16 PM from Aboard The Damocles

God that ending. That fucking ending.

It's not the moral I have a problem with it's the ending.

I'm calm... I'm calm

@Drenius: Spoilered for Arha's benefit Everypony has a special connection to her friends, even before she's met them. It's a nice idea, but in reality that isn't actually true. If they would have phrased it as "Your best friends might still be out there" or "You might be closer to your future friends than you think" it would have worked a bit better.

You know, its great seeing the reactions of new viewers as they post in this thread, but damn does it have a tendency to dredge up tired arguments.

@Drenius Why would it anger me?

I'm serious

#85711 Drenius Wed, 1st Feb '12 6:14:23 PM from Northern Virginia

Yeah that moral is a pretty weird one to give kids.

It's about a man stuck in a time loop. He can make minor changes, but ultimately remains stuck in the loop. On top of it, he's the only one aware that the time loop is occurring. It has some elements of {{[[You Can't Fight Fate}}}} and being doomed from the start. Who knows, maybe I was mistaken thinking it'd anger you. If I am, give it a look.

I thought you hated that trope in particular, so naturally assumed the premise of the film would tick you off I guess.

@Applelight: When things don't go as well as you'd hoped, running away won't help. "Better to run to your friends and family." They'll understand.

Hmm. After Twilight, I'd say Rarity is my favorite. I'm pleased to see her seeing through RD's bluster and her generosity a few episodes back was nice. She generally makes a good impression on me when she appears.

#85716 Applelight Limited Wed, 1st Feb '12 6:19:45 PM from Manehattan to Canterlot

Yeah Rarity is a nice pony (sorry Mousa).

I'm actually ambivalent about Rarity, but I could see why some folks might like her.

@Ginger: Sorry Ginger, but you're wrong. You said:

Why did Twilight give in? The Hydra not being the Biggie should've acted as PROOF that the Pinkie sense wasn't real. (the proof she'd been searching for all episode)

You'd be right, if Pinkie had actually made a prediction. She said when the convulsion first happened that it was something that had never happened before, so she didn't know what it meant. She only knew that it was a 'biggie.' Therefore when they found Fluttershy under attack, she guessed (wrongly) that that's what it signified. But the actual pinkie sense was still correct, she just didn't know yet what it meant.

As to You Can't Fight Fate, I am so used to time loops, pyschic powers, and the what not that I can't bring myself to care about it.

Homestuck fan?

Ok, so I'm never going to bring this episode up again.

Don't worry, this happens all the time.

And thus a friendship was destroyed forever because someone incorrectly identified Scootaloo as a background pony.

Changing the future? Ha, so many tales use that old yarn.

Granted the most successful ones are stuff like Chrono Trigger, Radiant Historia, Grim Grimoire, and Madoka (eventually).

@ Blue

No, I have heard good things about Homestruck but I lack the time to watch it right now.
