Either that or we'll have to remake the world of Equestria to fit in the Crystal Empire. The walmart map is looking more canon so far.I also detect a new world being built when brohoof returns

If you say "we'll have to remake the whole map" does that mean we can have the other towns too? Like Vanhoover, Neighagra Falls, Hollow Shades, Macintoch Hills, Horseshoe bay... and the others. These towns and places may not be cannon but they probably will be. Looking at the cannon map they must have gone trough Galloping Gorge to get to the Crystal Empire/Crystal Mountains. It's not mentioned in the 1st ans 2nd episode but according to the map it must be.I loved the episode. I felt it was easily on par with the season 2 opener.

I'm just curious. I'd like to build in more places. Hollow Shades kinda looks interesting to me. But it will probably be mentioned in season 3 (not a spoiler just my toughts)

Looking at the cover it has stars.... and that is Trixies logo/ cutie mark soo I personally think it has to do with trixie
or maybe something to do with Star swirl the bearded since there is supposed to be more history related episodes
Posted 10 November 2012 - 08:26 PM
I think it has something to do with the movie they are planning to make.This has to be relevant to something to come later in another episode
No way to show that if it would not link into something else.
IDEAS????
The book luna poofs up and Celestia looks at it and nods

Oh my god. Imagine this. In fallout equestria, there is the black book thingy which gives people dark magic. Now, imagine it's the same one, and have your mind blown.

I finally watched it! You guys are high! That tops season 2's opener hands down holy bucking crap. The songs were amazing! I gotta hand it to the hub that was brilliant. So many plot twists and unexpected things! Wow just wow.... Twilight I knew you were awesome but I had no idea you were that awesome. The best part was the song at the end. So many feels!!! You guys really need to loosen the critic belt.

Did not watch. not sure if the live stream was HQ or not. I am guessing not, so I can wait till there is either a HQ video upload or download. I rather watch it with nice quality. Got Dexter in the meantime.

Well, I suppose the entirety of the problem was the sheer time they expected us to wait for S3 to actualy come out. The songs were nice, and the actual plot was intriguing enough, but after six months of waiting, there really was nothing that could top those expectations, it was pretty much doomed from the beginning.
That said, I personally loved it. The fact that king sombra was more of an idea than a marked villain shows that they can allow the watcher to make their own inferences about him base on his looks and we all pretty much come to the same conclusions, and twilight and the rest were amazing. (Rarity seemed a bit exaggerated, but what can you do).

I thought it was nice that they focused on the twike relationship. We really didn't get a lot of that in other seasonsAnyone else feel that this episode put...a strange amount of focus on Spike? Making him a hero, and as the main focus of the stain glass window in Canterlot, along with that scene about his greatest fear? Where Twilight didn't want/ and or need him anymore. But kind of toned his scenes down?
Are...are they going to use this in future episodes, or something?

I am becoming more and more amused about how critical we are. Not the good kind either. We just say "this sucked" and whine bitch and moan about it. Focus on what they DID do for once! The growing negativity of this fandom makes me sick. I realize that you are entitled to your opinion but would it kill some of us to not think so pessimistically? At least we HAVE a season 3.

Aw you made my day dude! That's true. I would also like to reiterate that I have nothing against anybody's opinion. I just get tired of the complaints. Nothing against you personally.Hey, hey. The season 3 premier was awesome. I'm sure most of us also think that way.
It's just that people are going to talk about how they hate something more than the people who liked it.

probably. When he explodes, his horn is still in tact. If I remember correctly, he regenerated his horn once. I'm guessing this means he can regenerate his body as well. Then again, it might take a while.So, anyone think the king's scattered pieces will have any effect on where they land?
Posted 11 November 2012 - 07:21 AM
Can you do that? Can you really explode twice???probably. When he explodes, his horn is still in tact. If I remember correctly, he regenerated his horn once. I'm guessing this means he can regenerate his body as well. Then again, it might take a while.

She did know things (She was alive before it disappeared after all) she actually just told Twilight that she wouldnt know anything as none of her books mentioned itI find it ridiculous that Celestia claims to know next to nothing about the Crystal Empire yet is able to produce a holographic map, recall the villain's name, show that she and her sister saved the empire, and then some.
Posted 12 November 2012 - 02:41 AM
If I was a conspiracy nut, I'd say that was evidence that Celestia censors history. It's one thing to tell people your sister went mad and had to be banished, but to completely eliminate any record of an entire kingdom...She did know things (She was alive before it disappeared after all) she actually just told Twilight that she wouldnt know anything as none of her books mentioned it

Dude, You NEED to become a writer!The scariest part about Sombra, though?
The fact that he was a unicorn. This sets him apart from the other villains we've had so far. He wasn't a fallen alicorn corrupted by jealousy, he wasn't a spirit of chaos and disharmony, he wasn't a cockroach queen... He was a unicorn. A normal unicorn, like Twilight, Shining Armour or Rarity. He was born as an innocent, small filly just like them, growing up in either the Empire or Equestria amidst his fellow ponies.
Then something happened with him, or something changed him, that made him decide to become a total monster, both in terms of power and personality. A mere unicorn brought an entire Empire to its knees and enslaved his fellow ponies, and became powerful enough to manipulate blizzards and shadows, to corrupt an entire Empire with his mere presence, to curse an entire Empire and make it vanish for a thousand years, to mindfuck an entire populace, to regenerate body parts after they're cut off, and to create traps strong enough to hold the Element of Magic herself. Remember, people, this is a normal unicorn.
It could have been any other unicorn. It could be Twilight, if she isn't careful. She already had to use dark magic to solve Sombra's riddles. Maybe it started out innocently with Sombra like that, too: to simply use dark magic for good. What's stopping Twilight of becoming just like him? That is the scariest part about Sombra: he's what Twilight, what any pony could end up becoming, if they aren't careful.
Just a thought though. Anyways, i'm off to bed for real.
