Who knew Roses's mom was a brony?

What is James Rolfe's reaction to Doug Walker retiring his character?

Not sure, but that's a good question.

@Storyyeller: With the sampler, each button you press plays a different sample of music, you can mix and match them to make unique songs. They're not really very good though.

And MOM just knows that all girls love ponies. Even sophisticated little gothy girls like Rose.

The sampler refused to make any noise no matter what I pressed.

Although another character who gets introduced later does watch Friendship Is Magic and is an honest-to-goodness fan of Rainbow Dash.

I haven't been able to find any art of Maplehoof done in the FIM style, which surprises me.

EDIT: Nevermind.

I do wonder how the Wayvard Vagabond is controlling John from the future?

It's not direct control. It's just the console he's using is capable of sending messages directly to John's brain. John can follow or ignore these messages as he pleases.

As for "the future", WV is in the far future relative to John's time on Earth, but at the point where he's receiving messages from WV, John is in the Medium, which is a separate universe from Earth.

And when different universes interact with each other there is no correlation whatsoever between their timelines. Portals linking different universes will do so at completely arbitrary points on each 'verse's timeline. "Before" and "after" are meaningless concepts when comparing events that happen in different universes.

Understanding that principle will make a lot of subsequent timey-wimey shenanigans less confusing.

1. Those Maplehoof pictures are adorable.

2. Yeah, realizing that the different timelines are totally independent of each other makes things a lot easier.

Do they have any kind of casuality?

Yes, owing to portals and information exchange, events in one universe can cause other events in another universe.

Combine that with the timelines acting independently, and you run into the bootstrap paradox a lot in this story.

Event 1 in universe A causes event 2 in universe B, which causes event 3 in the same universe, which causes event 0 back in universe A, which was secretly the cause of event 1 all along. That sort of thing.

Hey does anyone know why Lemming Suicide Bombers don't kill each other in the explosion?

I like it a lot. It's a good story, pus it has a great Villain Song and a great battle sequence.

I know that whole Remember the New Guy thing gets on people's nerves, and I feel the same way, but I do believe that its merits outweigh its flaws.

[up][up]I loved it. I know there was some guy around here that didn't like it, but, uh...

That was probably you.

Any Magic: The Gathering players in this thread?

If so, what do you guys think of this?
Can you cool it with the Karn puns, Zennistrad? No problem. They were kinda Karny anyway.

Those episodes certainly have their flaws, but on the whole I think it handled everything quite nicely. I just hope that the next time we get a real villain they get defeated by means other than a Magic Love Cannon.

Ok what the heck did John do with that pogo steed? And how did he abscond up a wall?

@Blue Could have been Kayeka as well. I remember he didn't end up liking it.

Wow, I was looking at the page for Lilo & Stitch and I discovered that they made an alternate continuity anime series out of it.

I'm not sure how I feel about that right now.

Sigh... why do they have to ruin happy endings?

@Zennistrad: I'm not much for EDH, but I'll put my two cents in.

I'm not 100% convinced about the choice for Rarity's general. It seems to be another case of shoehorning Rarity's generosity into it. I would personally expect her to run something closer to mono-blue control, or something.

The rest of the mane 6 seem fine. As for Celestia and Luna, I don't think I know enough about them to be able to say.

On a tangential note, Pinkie would probably love to play with an Un-set deck.
I took a guess and cut a portion out of my heart.
