^I forget, actually. You can probably find it on Equestria Daily After Dark, though, in either the Dash or Misc section.

I've seen flamewars that move slower than this thread does when I'm not looking.

That said, hi. I'm a fresh (as in, within the last two or three weeks) convert to the awesomeness that is MLP:FIM.

Flutterwhy indeedy.

Still not as fast as a busy imageboard thread at peak posting hour, lol.

Except that means season 1 is fresh for Dorku. So we get to be envious instead.

Ah well. I heard estimates that it might last until December, so I'm glad it's only a couple of weeks.

Welcome to the herd Count Dorku. :)

welcome to the herd!

Yes welcome to the herd Dorku!

Prepare to love and tolerate!

Edit: @ colinispower

love the avatar. Pinkie facing directly from the front is always hilariously cute...shame about what's about to happen to her a few moments later in that scene.

Do we have official confirmation that the hiatus is gonna be 2 weeks long?

@Ginger: Eeeyup

Love and tolerance locked and loaded.

@Gingerninja: In order:

• I'm only up to Sonic Rainboom, so I don't really have a favourite episode yet.
• Fluttershy, followed by Twilight and Rainbow Dash.
• Despite the hamminess Trixie was kind of annoying, and, well, Gilda kind of needs to have the crap befriended out of her a few times.
• Haven't seen him in action yet.

Yes. Oct 15th. I'm havin withdrawel symtons already.

My love and tolerance levels are decreasing, and soon I'll be a cynical jerk again!

Quick! Put the Orbital Friendship Beam on standby!

@justanotherbrony: 1, awesome name. 2. Thanks. It's a change of pace from seeing angry/empty eyed Pinkie, but it's still a funny pick nonetheless.

"Twilight panicking because she doesn't have a lesson of the week" is so in-character for her. I can already imagine her panicked rant to Spike: "Princess Celestia will think I'm not fulfilling my duties! What if she replaces me with another up-and-coming protege? How can I convince her I haven't been spending the entire week partying with Pinkie Pie?!"

And having re-watched "Dragonshy" the other day, it's pretty explicit that Equestria is a country, not the name for the world as a whole. Which raises questions about the nature of Celestia's sun-raising duties and its effect on the sovereignty of other nations...

—R.J.

I've seen that plot come up as fanfic fodder before. I wonder how the official retelling of that tale will play out.

I have a theory that the sun and moon only exist in the skies of Equestria, and every other country has a different method of dealing with the perpetual darkness

@ colinispower + Dorku

Thanks guys! A sincere compliment and the threat of friendly fire (see what I did there) should keep me good for 15 mins!

I have a theory that 'countries' in the MLP world are actually floating continents drifting through the void of space together. Think of an orderly asteriod feild.

Oh yeah, welcome to the herd, guy. Love and tolerate your peers into submission.

@Count:

I would post some sort of welcoming picture, but I have no idea how...

I'm bad at Tv Tropes...
