weird page topper

Nah, I'm willing to bet that's been a page-topper before. Like, in the Wrestling thread or something.

This is a stupid question, probably. But I've been out of the pony loop for a while.

Someone mentioned that the 2nd season will come out this Saturday. Is that true?

It is SO TRUE. Hopefully. Unless there's, like, weather or something. I dunno.

Check your TV Guide for local listings!

Wait, wasn't there a script leaked onto the internet a long while back? It wasn't really a script it was more of a set of story notes written by someone who works in a voice acting studio. I remember the plot he described being similar to what this episode looks like it's going to be about. Does anyone still have the link to that post?

No one believed it because they thought it was just some troll starting rumours

It was, if I recall.

I don't think we should change our minds until the actualy episode comes out. That was just a minute of footage.

@ Red Savant: LOL at thinking Black Plague Ridiculous is a trope...

Say what you will, but I refuse to take him seriously until the episodes air. I expect him to last two episodes, and get wiped out by The Elements of Harmony with a combined joint effort of Celestia and Luna, and instead of the Rainbow of Light, it's a rainbow colored alicorn striking him down.

This◊ might be what you're referring to. Potential spoilers obviously. At least some of that is accurate.

I expect he'll be the kind of villain that gets defeated by exploiting a loophole in the rules of his "game". Much more fun than brute force.

That's probably what'll happen, given that this show isn't about fighting.

That or "LOL! POWER CRYSTALS GO!"

Getting away from the Discord-talk for a moment, I have a question that's been in the back of my head for a while (perhaps I just have an overactive imagination).

Just for fun, imagine you were transported to Equestria. You're stuck there a while. With nothing better to do, you tell stories to anypony who will listen, since they likely don't know about most of our media. You talk about what your favorite books, movies, games and shows are back home.

Based on what we know about their society, what stories would you tell them? (And no, don't tell them any fanfics or Cupcakes-level dark stories. They probably wouldn't take kindly to that.)

I'd tell them about how Equestria is idolized in our world (basically I'd talk about the show, and its massive fandom) I'd also go up to each pony and talk about how people in our world interpreted their personalities in different ways (like I'd go to Celestia and tell her about the Evilestia theory, or go up to Rainbow Dash and mention all the lesbian shipping.)

Well if I was taken there with my school backpack, I've got a copy of the first Lord of the Rings book inside it. Twilight might be interested in that.

Narnia.

Celestia is totally the equivalent of Aslan.

"Ok everypony, this is how my world makes glue." Yeah, yeah, I know I've used this line before.

I would talk about all of the scientific and cultural differences between our world and the pony world. I would also tell them that our ponies aren't as interesting as they are.

What is it with Celestia and jamming people she doesn't like into rocks?

well if it works

I'd tell them the story of G1 MLP.

I'd tell Rainbow Dash about Usain Bolt.

I'd waste my time reading books at Twilight's library and visit Fluttershy's cottage.

I'd use Spike as a barbecue lighter.

Then I'd skin and barbecue him.

I'd introduce a new party game to Pinkie Pie.

You see, I just kept running into the problem of, say, "As much as I like Lord of the Rings, would anypony there know just what war is? Because the closest thing we've seen was an epic food fight at Appleloosa." Stuff like that.

Well, guards exist, as does armour. I'm assuming those things evolved from somewhere. So yes, I think war has existed in Equestria.
