I would like to see an episode focusing on Princess Celestia. Possible connection to Guardians of Harmony where she dreams about fighting Nightmare Moon.

We could do a fangame compare like a parody of FreeXax Game Compare series. Examples: Mega Pony vs Dr. Discord's Conquest Equestria Bound vs Pony Fantasy 6 Elements of Harmony RPG vs Super Lesbian Horse RPG Canterlot Siege vs Canterlot Defender Sweet Apple Massacre vs Story of the Blanks Pony Poki Panic vs Sonic 3 & Rainbow Dash

https://press.discovery.com/us/dfc/press-releases/2017/new-family-bonds-and-magical-friendship-adven-4021/ In the back-to-back premiere episodes titled “Celestial Advice” and “All Bottled Up,” Twilight Sparkle agonizes over Starlight Glimmer’s future and receives some much-needed advice from her very own mentor – Princess Celestia. While the Mane 6 are on a friendship retreat, Starlight Glimmer loses Twilight Sparkle’s friendship map. Afraid her anger might get out of control, Starlight Glimmer casts a calming spell while the ponies search for the lost map. Now I'm just waiting for this to occur. 🙂

It's been almost three years and a new episode in Japan still hasn't surfaced. It was a fact that Takara stopped making exclusive ponies at the end of G3. Sega Toys currently holds the rights in Japan after 2 years that Bushiroad held the rights. The Bushiroad dub of the TV series had songs sung in Japanese while the Sega Toys dub of Equestria Girls do not. If you want to re-experience the Japanese voice casting again, import My Little Pony: Tomodachi wa Mahou on 5-disc Blu-Ray. It can only run on Region 1 Blu-Ray players outside modifications.

13 days left until the back-to-back season premiere. What makes this one unique as it's not a 2-parter.

I'm surprised that there was no world ending ancient evil, but I guess that's a nice change of pace. 🙂

So Discord, Celestia and a hint of Pinkie owned what was an otherwise mediocre first episode of the season, but episode 2 was just predictable and bad and I wasn't a fan of what they did with Trixie. Whelp.

First episode was good, I liked Celestia's little speeches. Second episode was kind of stupid. Third episode was sweet and heart-warming. I'm not as much into MLP as I used to be. It's been a long break and a long time. I remember when I started watching back in season 2, and loved the hell out especially of the main storyline which really hit home in season 4, imo. Now with season 5, 6 and 7 things calmed down a lot. It focuses more on character development now and there doesn't seem to be any main storyline to speak of... (I didn't really like the 2nd changeling attack that much.) I hope the cutie map itself, the tree of harmony, or such things will be picked up again for future arcs.

I finally got around to watching the first episode of the season. It felt really weird. During most of the episode, especially the first 5 minutes, it almost felt like I was watching some other series. It somehow felt so different. The characters were the same, their voices were the same, and they were referring to the last finale... but it still felt like a completely different show. It's hard to describe why. There were also so many what felt like out-of-character moments. Perhaps Celestia being the most prominent example. And much of the writing felt really lazy (like Discord's role and lines in the whole episode). Even the kind of build up that the episode was going towards (Starlight going away) didn't actually realize itself. Nothing actually changed. This felt like a second episode of a season, not a season opener. And I swear that the second that Starlight turns into a "princess", I think I'm done with the series. I'm glad they didn't go that route in the last season finale. I hope they don't go that route this season either.

To be honest, I'm rather pleased it didn't start out with another world-ending scenario. After a while you just become desensitize to it.

First there were just two alicorns. Then, out of nowhere, there was a third one, in another kingdom. Hmm, ok, I suppose. Then they kind of threw everything implied out of the window and just made the main protagonist convert into an alicorn, out of the blue, because reasons. Then they once again throw everything out of the window by having that third alicorn have a baby alicorn; because they could, I suppose. And now they are hinting that Starlight Glimmer might turn into an alicorn by the end of the season, maybe. At this pace I wouldn't be surprised if they discover a colony of thousands of alicorns, all of whom are "princesses". Because why not. They make no sense anyway. Everything else I would forgive (alicorn is just a fourth, much rarer kind of pony), but I still just don't buy Twilight becoming one. Especially not in that manner. She is not an alicorn. She's a unicorn. Those wings don't belong. They are just a bad hallucination created by Discord, or something.

Money is a fantastic motivator for retconning things in a merchandise driven franchise. It's a little surprising anyone expected "artistic integrity" from this show.

I suppose. But did they really have to destroy Twilight's cozy tree library in order to sell more "Princess of Friendship" castles? (I haven't actually checked if there are such toys. I'm assuming there are.) Although that's not really a retcon per se.

ok so I haven't been following the show as of late. A lot of the later decisions that I did catch seemed to be primarily motivated by selling more toys, which is a bit disappointing to me. In the early days, the show seemed like more than that. More than just a ploy to sell toys to little kids. Seems the show regressed to just that, however.

It's also a fantastic motivator for shaking up the status quo.

I suppose that kudos to the show for daring to change the status quo from time to time, rather than hitting the reset button at the end of every episode, like most other shows do. But in some cases such a change is not necessarily for the better. Btw, I liked the second episode more than some others seemingly have. Not that it was one of the best episodes, but not completely bad either. Didn't like much the song part (not that the song itself was bad; it just came completely out of the blue and didn't fit at all). Trixie felt a bit shallow of a character (not as in a shallow personality, but as shallow scriptwriting. It lacked proper depth.)

On a different note, I want to say that it appears that the chat service has become popular enough to almost completely displace John Delancie's character in the GIS results for the word "discord". It's been fun tracing that particular trend over the years - the moment the character was announced, I knew he'd come to completely dominate GIS - but I now figure it's time to stop keeping track of that.

S7E7 Parental Glideance I can't believe we still didn't learn anything about Scootaloo's own past after this episode... It was a really great episode though. Many moments that made me pause the video and think and feel. I still want to work on the timeline thing sometime... But there's so much I need to catch up on.
