The Elements of Harmony combine. Twilight Sparkle casts Rainbow Ultima on Discord & Ponyville (costing about a million MP). ZOMG! Love the end celebration styled like the end of Star Wars ep . IV: A New Hope (listen to some of the music, very similar). Also an homage to 1989 Batman, with Discord standing still with a bullseye on him (like The Joker when Batman opens fire on him in the Batwing). TS takes her lumps again here. And exasperated TS is always entertaining (thought she may evolve to Rapidash again). Loved the book keep away. And Pinkie Pie got more choco rain. Win! So much of this is proof of how this is so targeted to Bronies!
Need more evidence? Pajama jeans ad (WTF). "Mommy, what does sexy mean? Why is she wearing jeans so little they make her butt big"? Never had Saturday morning commercials like that when I was little (dammit).
AWESOME EPISODE! SPIKE WAS RAINBOW DASH, AND RARITY AND TOM FANFIC, AND MANNNN I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE..... WHICH IS IN TWO WEEKS.... or more....damn...
and P.S.: @KaiserGX That looks like a pony toy. I compared it to the back of my Applejack box and it seems to match it's shape.
What's this? Discord, who the hell is that? (Checks calendar)... Um, it looks like just another Saturday wait HOLY PEGASUS, IT'S THE SECOND WEEK FOR THE NEW EPISODE!?!? (teleports to computer to watch both episodes)
I was looking through the first couple pages of this thread, and I think it's weird how at first, everbody was hating on the ponies and now the bronies have taken over this thread.
@SuperLink Tell me about it. The first page here is filled with complex, argument-inciting responses of "no". And then, the Bronies started to arrive, little by little. I think it's symbolic of the struggle the show must've had before the first brave, revolutionary Bronies who gave it a chance and word gradually spread of the best cartoon to come along in ages!
I'll confess that I blew right on by the thread who knows how many times without looking in. It eventually became invisible to me, like any topic I had no interest in. And not because of the My Little Pony name. The complete title made me feel like it'd be a corny, preachy "Barney" or "Blue's Clues" type of show, only for small children. How wrong I was. I still owe Princess Celestia a friendship report on not judging a book by it's cover! Truth be told, about 95% of the human race could stand to learn some of the show's lessons about friendship and just being decent, because apparently their moms and dads never taught them anything, or they didn't listen (no, I'm not a fan of people... miserable pile of secrets ). I think it must've been the avatars that finally opened me up to coming to the thread and seeing why it was so popular. I saw more and more pony avatars, and thought to myself: "Are those My Little Pony ponies? They look AWESOME"! When I came here and saw the jaw-droppingly beautiful character design and animation, and read how good the show is, I had to see for myself on YouTube. And that's how Equestria was ma... um, I mean that's how I became a Brony for life! Even have my cheese wedge cutie mark that's making me very hungry.
Gradually, we took control of our own thread (to the point would-be trolls may be afraid of us). And we continue to spread like parasprites (wait, did I just insult us... they are adorable like us ), our power growing by the day. Next, we'll take over Nintendo Life. It'll eventually become Nintendo Brony Life, then simply Brony Life. The last step is, of course, world conquest and establishment of an Equestrian utopia (hey, we already have a former US President in our stable). Then, all will pledge their undying love and loyalty to Princesses Celestia & Luna, or they will di... um, I mean we'll love and tolerate the BLEEP out of them, of course.
Let's attack aggressively, kupo! :D

Well I was nervous about this episode considering the first part on whole felt rushed, but that episode was amazing. It moved at such a better pace, not to mention all the hilarity that came with everypony's reversal in demeanor (I can't stop laughing at "What's wet and clueless? Your face!"). Loved it; can't wait for more ... whenever it finally starts rolling again. D:
But can we get a little LUNA IN HERE ALREADY.

There can only be one, like in that foreign movie where there could only be one, and in the end there is only one dude left, because that was the point.
For the sake of comparison of just how similar the celebrations at the end of SW Ep IV: A New Hope and today's episode. The music at the beginning of the ponies' celebration is basically a remix of the music heard here up to the 16 second mark! [youtube:jSZB0NjRqzc] Somewhere, George Lucas & John Williams are smiling... or calling their attorneys. As a Star Wars fan from the beginning in '77, I loved this!
There's one thing I didn't like about the episode, though. Twilight seemed too ready to give up her friendship with the others (and didn't even look for Rainbow Dash). Even though it was painfully obvious Discord was at fault for their behavior, which they weren't in control of. TS had to know this and yet she seemed to blame the ponies personally! I found that very bizarre, and I don't even over analyze episodes. Very out of character for TS to just give up on her friends like that. And she was this way before turning grey.
A couple of other observations... Flutterb***h is awesome (love her voice as Fb) "what's soaking wet and clueless"? Lots for the dog and cat lover in this episode. Notice the catfight sound effects when TS is fighting the others for the book? Big MacIndoggie? EEEEEYUP! And when she goes into attack mode (after her last drink of chocolate rain), Pinkie Pie sounds like a bulldog, hee hee. Applejack would win any calf-roping contest hooves down. I'll be anticipating hurricane kicks, shoryukens and hadokens from Rarity this season. Oh and don't mention Tom to Rarity anymore. Besides, Spike will get jealous (boy, his digestive system will never be the same after today...).
Finally, what I remember TS saying when she & Spike arrived in Ponyville was, "I just need to be alone so I can study without a bunch of (eyes spinning) crazy BRONIES trying to make friends all the time."
After seeing the latest episode, I just have one thing to say....poor Spike!
Yeah. PETD (Ponies for the Ethical Treatment of Dragons) needs to drop by and have a word with Celestia for wrecking havoc on Spike... or should I say Rainbow Dash/Crash Jr.? I can just hear Rainbow Dash hollering out to Spike "JUNIOR" in a Sean Connery voice!!!
After seeing the latest episode, I just have one thing to say....poor Spike!
@SMEXIZELDAMAN Because it's really stupid, but somehow entertains me and now I like it to join the crowd of bronies on the internet so I can feel like I'm a part of something bigger (yet far lamer) than myself
OK, the Return of the Harmony Conclusion was great, going for the comedy instead of the adventure, with still enough action to spice it, brilliant. The jokes were very well thought, I loved TS in this ("necklace, necklace, necklace, nacklace... big crown thingie"). TS OOC? nah, she never saw that it was a spell that made her friends act like that, and I´ve dealed with frustrating friends, and you have your limits, you get mad, you say things. A use for the friendship reports, ok, smooth move Celestia, you earned my respect.
And Random jokes, yay TOM!!, BicMac a dog, lol, OMC the Buffallo, and the chocolate rain was napalm volatile?... and Pinkie Pie drank it, mmm... good thing only she drank it.
And yeah that SW reference for the ending, after two full episodes of Star Trek goodness, that was so clever, and geekie... there's no words. @FluttershyGuy You should totally post the side by side comparison, just google "Star Ponies Ending Scene". I´d do it but it was your idea.
Yeah it was rushed, but the writters pulled it through, and they made Twilight recieve lots of pain >:3, and that put this on my Top 3 episodes. @MechaPhoenix Yeah, we need Luna, we need Luna BIG TIME!!

MLP: FiM season 2, episode 2 ending vs. Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope ending, by request (which I could've done earlier if not for me being lazy pony ). [youtube:k4wh4FnwiAg] (Going by the split screen) Canterlot=Yavin, Applejack=Han Solo, Pinkie Pie=Chewbacca (yup, that fits RAAAWWWRRRR), Twilight Sparkle=Luke Skywalker, Princess Celestia=Princess Leia, Spike=C3PO, Lauren Faust=George Lucas.
Ok... I want to see Celestia with cinnamon bun hair NAOOOOOOOOOO (and Return of the Jedi slave girl bikini, not EVEN going there...Not even). APPLEJACK/HAN WINKING AT CELESTIA/LEIA??? OMG!!! The Applestia shipping stories are already in the works. And this means Twilight Sparkle and Celestia are SISTERS??? But, Luna & Celestia are sisters. Yet, as you saw in my earlier posted video, Luna/Nightmare Moon is Twilight's FATHER! It bends the mind. I can't comprehend it. It's not just a disturbance in the force, it's friggin DISCORD!
