The problem with Sombra was that he was a victimized villain because the focus was purely on Twilight and her test, which inevitably will be the setup for Season 3's finale where she'll likely become an alicorn like we've seen.
The line of the episode goes to Applejack with "Good things are better when they're a... rarity." followed by a wink to Rarity. RariJack. I don't normally ship, but when I do, that's normally numero uno on my list. At the very least, it gave a bit "dawwww" moment. :3
Also, thrilled to hear Scootaloo is FINALLY getting her own episode. It's been way overdue in my opinion. "Sleepless in Ponyville" is her episode.

Yes, something that didn't happen in Season 1 or 2 is a follow-up to Trixie and a Scootaloo episode (I feel as if Mysterious Mare Do Well doesn't count.)

So does Celestia just suck at sealing away villains? Or is it just me,
Nightmare Moon in Moon: Escapes
Discord in stone: Escapes
Sombra in ice: Escapes
Makes a nice season opening pattern as well.
Also she seems to enjoy gambling. First plan is to send Twilight despite all risks and a decent chance at failure and if character was the question, wouldn't she know that or could have at least made a safer test out of it?
Anyway nice to see it is back.
@MasterGraveheart - We've never seen an alicorn Twilight. That sounds like a fan fic thing.

Today's comeback episode was a solid showing even awesome for the most part, though I couldn't help but feel like it needed something else to give it that extra oomph. Don't know why, but I just felt that way. But with all the little hints that were given throughout this episode, we could be looking at a good story arch. It appears that this season is being made for the bronies, and I like it.
@MasterGraveheartI didn't seem to see it that way with the wink and corny joke. I just saw it as just a corny joke and that was that. And I hope it's not the case that Twilight will be an Alicorn. That would be a bit weird for me.
@Konata I'm not sure if your new here. If so, welcome to the NL herd! I'm glad you enjoyed the episode.

OKAY! SO! HELLO! I'VE JUST GOTTEN AN iPAD STYLUS, AND DECIDED TO DRAW SOMETHING IN INKPAD. FOUR HOURS ALMOST NON-STOP LATER, THIS CAME TO LIFE. I AM AWESOME!
HAPPY SEASON 3 EVERYPONY!!!! HAVE SOME SERIOUS FACE VECTOR LUNA I JUST DREW:
Ahem.
Sorry for the caps. I just really wanted to get your attention. Like I stated above, I think I've been at this one for about 4 hours almost non-stop. Yes, I missed the Season 3 premier this morning.
This vector of Luna is made on the iPad, and nothing but the iPad using the app InkPad. Yeah, now you know where that 4 hours came from.
One final thing:
Dear Princess Luna,
You mane is a ajosdfnaoegfn0 to draw.
Sincerely,
Guardian King.
And with that, good night! Just kidding about the mane Luna. No but seriously, it was kind of hard to draw. Yeah.
Happy weekend everypony!
I hope most of you could watch the new MLP:FiM episode.

This week was the first anniversary of the Pony Fiction Vault. Visiting it remind me of those old fics I read back when I started reading pony fiction like crazy. So in honor of RBDash47 creator of the vault, I present one of his favorite stories.
Today on the ==Fic of The Week:== It's a Dangerous Business, Going Out Your Door by Jetfire
[On EQD Adventure Complete Everyone]
A classical adventure inspired by The Lord of The Rings. Twilight gets deadly sick and is up to Rarity, AJ and Rainbow Dash to find the cure and save her. However this quest will teach them much about themselves and change them forever.
Epic, fantasy adventure, and it shows from beginning to end.
*SPOILERS!!!
We had a nice new ep today. Personally I liked it a lot (because Luna and Celestia talk to each other SQUEEEE~) ehem, and I really liked Twilight here, she was so in character, and all the forebodding on a bigger arc for her was nice.
I liked the new villian. Sombra didn't put a show, he was all business: Want my kingdom and slaves back, just because, try and stop me. I think he was very clever. He was just an ordinary unicorn (no alicorn, chaos god or shapeshifter queen) and took a whole kingdom, and then when he was going to lose he somehow takes the kingdom with him, and I bet he knew that the Crystal Empire coming back would take him out of his prision; and the way he hid the crystal heart? A door that leads to your worst fear, genious. Also no evil monologues... yep clever guy.
The songs were a bit more childish, but I really didn't mind, and the crystal ponies are cool.
End Spoilers

with games:
See you all next week after a whole new episode... yay.
@MasterGraveheart - We've never seen an alicorn Twilight. That sounds like a fan fic thing.
**SPOILER ALERT**
There was a promo poster at a convention display that featured an alicorn Twilight, there's an upcoming plush that has Twilight with wings, and Tara Strong confirmed on her Twitter account that it was doing to happen. ^^;;

Wait Twilight can already half-fly with magic, and create butterfly wings, why would she need wings?
Also someone please kill that Gak meme its getting incredibly annoying.

SPOILERS
I never ship any two of the mane 6 together. Ever. But this episode, though the scenario didn't say "ship them!" to me, that scene at the end when Rarity starts singing and hold up Twi's face to face hers, and the part when the where practically holding hooves while riding away
just screamed ship to me.
/SPOILERS
If you add me, I need to at least know you or I won't add you back.
@kara I did, but the way it was sent meant that I couldn't privately reply. The only way would have been to publish it and I wasn't sure if you were okay with that.
Anyway, the design looks great. It's has a very Megaman-esque design that I could see appearing in an actual game. The only thing I would change is the cape. I think you should remove it and add pegasus wings instead.
I don't think she'll be an alicorn forever. I think something is going to happen that'll overflow her magic power to near-Celestia/Luna/Cadance levels and she'll gain wings that way. There's something to be said for continuity, but more importantly, if one were to watch the episodes OUT of order, you'd still want things to mesh as people watch them.
@MasterGraveheart That's what I got to thinking last night. It wouldn't last forever, just a temporary power boost. Also it gives Hasbro the excuse to market another Alicorn toy that's a shade of pink and purple.
@Twilight_Crow Yeah, your right about the menacing traps he had layed out, but his name was still lame though. An that is awesome Twilight/Midna mashup picture. Names kinda go with each other as well.
@CorporalPegasus What is that "Gak" thing... last I checked it was to say that you were hit by something and you reacted by saying that, though I could be mistaken.
@DiscordedTeeJay What I saw back there was just a friend congratulating a friend.
@Electricmastro Of course you think it's cute, who wouldn't. All I can say is that I want that, but in an Apple Bloom variety.

It wasn't mediocre or anything. However, I felt like I was watching an episode of Doctor Who instead of My Little Pony. Except here, Twilight isn't the Doctor. She isn't all-powerful and all. She's a unicorn. I don't object to the idea of her being an Alicorn. Heck, that could make a great season finale, leaving on a cliffhanger where she has to decided between her dreams or her friends.
Still, there were so many things that came out of nowhere! I'm not saying it was bad. In fact, it's actually very refreshing to see a kid's show take risks these days. Sigh... I miss my childhood. And it isn't even that far back either!
I like the gravity thing, but there were a couple plot-holes that irked me the wrong way. The biggest is this: WHERE DID SHE LEARN BLACK MAGIC?!
"Something Celestia taught me!"
I call complete... You get it. Why would Celestia teach her dark magic. No, better question: WHEN?! Are you talking about that one scene where you saw her do it? What is this then? I don't even... If Twilight is that talented, can't she just copy the Sun Raising Spell or something. See how much dangerous situations could come out of that?
However, I loved the ending. What got me even more hyped is when you saw Celestia hand Luna a notebook with stars on it. Will she be Twilight's next teacher?! **squee**
[/SPOILERS]
Speaking of Luna, did you guys see the vector of Luna I made yesterday? Took me about 4 hours to make, on the iPad nonetheless. Yes, that was made on an iPad.
For anypony else who still didn't see the premiere, here you go:
I'm going to go try and draw Morpheus, my hybrid character.
Also, speaking of Morpheus, would it be too OP if he eventually finds out he's Chrysalis' son? The way I want it to go follows: he reads the Stargazer Prophecy, which foretold the loss of their home, and a great oncoming evil threatening the Galaxy. It then says that a child of Stargazer and Metaphase (Changeling) blood will step forwards, and wield the power of the Planet Breaker. Afterwards, Luna conferences the Equestrian Monarchs (Celestia, Cadence, and Chrysalis). That's when the Changeling Queen spills, and tells Morpheus she's his mother. This would be where it gets interesting.
Apparently, she one day met a very strange-looking colt, who had no prior memories of his past (Poseidon, a Stargazer able to manipulate the Water element at will). Interested in his mystical powers at first, she invited him to her Kingdom, trying to get something out of him. Over time, she grew closer to the stallion. One day, the two had a "special" night. A few days later, Chrysalis discovered she was pregnant. When she went to find Poseidon to confront him about the news, all traces of his existence were gone. In his room, there was nothing but a note, apologizing to Chrysalis, telling her that "he now remembers what he has to do." For some odd reason, she doesn't abort the child, as he is the only reminder o Poseidon's existence: both the good and the bad.
When Morpheus was born, she had no choice to abandon him, as she couldn't tell her kingdom she just had a child with a stallion that might have never existed in the first place (she didn't want to ruin her self-image and all). Many years later, Morpheus came back, presenting himself as the first volunteer aboard the Crusader. Chrysalis recognized him, but never said anything. Flash forwards to present time, as she tells Morpheus he is to be the supposed "Planet-Breaker," and apologizes for everything that happened, saying she "never knew what [she] had gotten [herself] into."
Anyways, yeah. Long post, I know.
Also, @Onikato: I got your notes, and I gave a reply.
