Changelings = Pony Tyranids.

Don't agree, they look far too much necro-undead to be compared to Tyranids.

Epidosdes 25 and 25, like 1 and 2, they're a double episode.

Tbh i think Celestia could've managed this whole fiasco a bit better. first off, why did she get a simple unicorn to create the defensive spell? surely she has enough power to do it? or twilight, who's special talent is MAGIC after all. secondly, when Canterlot is invaded, what the hay are the royal guard doing? are Equestria's finest so easily defeated by a bunch of bug-ponies? And thirdly, surely it wouldve been much more clever to lock the invading changeling army away, instead of just chucking them over the horizon, to attack other realms, or worse, regroup and attack equestria. maybe the changeling army I could understand (as i suppose it would cost a lot to feed an entire army of POWs) but queen chrysalis? lock that slimy sonofagun up in tararus! I mean come on, seriously ponydom?

but yeah, great episode

Well I now sit eagerly awaiting news on season 3. By hell that was a great episode! I kinda had the plot all worked out in my head by the start of the 'second' episode but who the queen changeling was in the end did have my pleasantly surprised. I will say it seemed a little rushed towards the end as some people have said but they are only 20 minute episodes so it wasn't going to be a epic novel. But yeah, this ep definitely had me squealing like a fan-girl. Reminded me more of the earlier episodes where I couldn't stop grinning for the whole day after watching them. This really was a brilliant feel good episode and I couldn't think of a better way to round off the season. *sighs* Oh and the ending song, dammit now I gotta find a download for that!

Edit: There is a season 3, fragging PARTY CANNON TIME! Yahoo!

You're overthinkin' it. The main goal, as corny as it sounds, was to show that nothing can beat true love, and that not even the Elements of Harmony can be compared.

My head-canon with Luna not intervening is the same as the Emperor of Mankind at the Golden Throne: there's no toilet paper and they're to embarrassed to ask for help.

Also, I get the feeling Celestia was using this as a test for Twilight.

Evil, evil alicorn that she is.

Now that you mention it it could well have been a test for twi, it seems like the kind of thing that wouldnt get past celestia

Spoiler:

Squee when P0n-3 popped up out of nowhere! Songs were also all awesome, and I'm so happy I'm not even going to pick holes in the plot. I'm turning off cynical mode! And I'm using exclamation marks! You know I'm happy when that happens!

Erm, hm, quite.

I'm starting to think pinkie has a tardis pocket somewhere on her as she seemed to pull scratch out of no where XD

TO help pass the time between the seasons, my friend and I are collaborating on making a MLP:FiM RPG. Currently we're having the dilemma of whether we should make it in brushmane or blind-bag scale. Brushmane would make it a lot easier to sculpt enemies in detail, and gives us access to characters we will need, specifically the CMCs and Spike, as well as several background ponies we may need. Blind-bags, on the other hand, are cheaper and have a vast range of different ponies, specifically more male ponies. Any thoughts on which would work better?

Just to let you know, there's an Unknown Armies ponyRPG out there- Unknown Ponies. It's pretty keen, apparently, though perhaps not what you were looking for.

I'll have a look at that, I've heard there's one similar to Savage Worlds as well, and we may end up using a rules system similar to one of those two, but modified to put in the enemies we've designed (Napoleonic Griffon army!).

Apparently Discord makes a return in s3 as Q's confirmed he's voiced another episode for FiM. With the Changlings just kicked out and not sealed away or anything, what are the odds they sneak back in and free Discord, and we get a Chrysalis/Discord tag team vs the Elements?

Also, I disagree with the Love > Harmony, as we never saw Harmony get a chance. Harmony tends to somewhat permanently remove the problem, or at least put it away for 1000+ years. Love just appeared to boot them out of the immediate vicinity.

Yeah, I mean Celestia thought the Elements of Harmony would work and I think she knows a thing or two about them and their power, all things considered.

The return of the changeling breed is unavoidable, however, remember how Discord was freed ...
The Changelings do not have to even know about Discord in order to free him, if you think a bit.

Also, and this is an utmost crucial point:
What if some changelings truly wants to change their ways and become friends?

As i see it, that is the reason why they weren't imprisoned, but just swept away.

So I'm still not sure what to think of Big Mac having a voice. "A-yup" and "Nope" are just too ingrained when you think of him.

Hi, question!
I was on Salute the other day and I saw a guy with a brilliant t-shirt, it was a my little pony friendship forever portal shirt.

Well here is the thing, I can't seem to find it (I'm awful at finding something on the internet yes) Does anyone have a link?

S.

This one?

How has no one posted this yet!?

Perhaps for you lot it's not worth the trouble, but ever considered making your own shirts?

Perhaps it's not an issue there, but $18 + international shipping + custom's taxes can't compete with:

- Cotton t-shirt $9.08
- Sublimation print + applying it $5.67 (you can do it at print shope, most cheap ones won't apply it, but you can do it at home with your iron.

awesome XD but now I really want a base cannon :3

As soon as I saw the Bass Cannon, I started thinking about how much it would cost to get the custom woofer, tweeters and servos to have it open up like that.

Dangit. I really really want one.
