Another interesting thought: if the three pony tribes each have their own innate magic, what do the other hooved animals have? I would think that Donkies have much longer lifespans than Ponies. In Cranky's flashback, the black and white filter would imply that it took place quite along time ago, especially when compared to the sepia filter on Granny Smith's flashback. Add to that the fact that Cranky and Matilda were adults back then, and while they looked older in the present, they certainly we're that old, and I would guess that Donkeys might have lifespans at least twice as long as Ponies, if not more. Also, I'm fairly sure donkeys live quite a bit longer than horses in real life, too, so there's some more precedent.

That's just my overanalytical look at it, and I have no idea what kind of magic other races could have.

Edit: Crazy WMG Pagetopper!

@ Ginger: The Mint-al thing goes on for a bit, can't quite recall how long. As I'm sure you remember I quite like Steelhooves so I'm glad you've met him.

[up][up] Sounds good, don't know what the others could have.

@Bad It's probably the best introduction of a character so far. I've always been of the belief that introductions shouldn't make ANYONE look bad. Both good and bad guys should look competent.

Steelhooves awesomely diced two of the Alicorns but then got the shit kicked out of himself by the 3rd one. I liked it.

@ Ginger: I too am a fan of the Establishing Character Moment being an awesome one. I'm trying to think if there's a better introduction than Steelhooves' but I can't think of one off the top of my head.

Have you seen the Applejam picture, Ginger?

Well, this is slightly inconvenient (for me)

Sorry if this has already been shared.

I guess I'll have to go to bed early and set my alarm.

@Bad remember, introductions that only serve to make the character being introduced look cool are meaninless to me (well, I can't say that, I'm okay if a villain's is like that, but that's only because they need to establish themselves as a threat)

I liked Steelhooves' intro because his ECM very nearly killed him! [lol]

@picture GAH!!

@Ed: Yeah, hours after my second-ever livestream, it's announced that they're moving the episode premieres to right during my one work shift of the week. =|

@ Ginger: If the character continues being cool past his introduction instead of succumbing to The Worf Effect then I'll consider it successful. But you're right showing the weaknesses of a protagonist is also a useful part.

Is that a good GAH! or a bad GAH!?

I love how the jelly pony is now the pony equivalent of the "me gusta" face.

I can't say that I mind the schedule change; gives me an excuse to sleep later on Saturdays.

I actually saw the episode on the day it aired! Woohoo! I thought it was pretty good. Pretty much all the behavior was justified, so Cranky wasn't an unexplained jerk, and Pinkie didn't pull a Karma Houdini. The only thing that bothered me was Pinkie's desire to befriend everyone, since it was unexplained.

Anyway, I see we hit 100k posts. Who got the post?

@Sky: Pinkie's an unrestrained extrovert. Knowing people makes her happy, so she wants to know everyone.

@ Sky Strike: Apple stole it from me.

@ Ginger: IIRC the first time we actually see Red Eye is either him capturing Lil' Pip or alongside the city that he created.

@Red I guess that makes sense.

@Bad Stupid question, what does IIRC mean? I've seen it used quite a bit, but I have no idea.

I think it's interesting that so many people find Pinkie more annoying than usual in this episode. I liked her more than I usually do.

And the ending. D'awwwww.
