This thread is for general discussion of the second episode. Go to town, folks! ;D

[Bright Glow]

Do you mean the 2nd part of the Friendship is magic or the next episode which one's preview videos can be find on Yahoo kids site?

I'll make some screenshots from them later today since it's alredy Sunday here.

[Caelum]

I mean the actual new episode, not the last ten minutes of the episode that's already out. ^_~

It won't be out until next week, apparently, (didn't realize that until after I'd made this thread) so I'm gonna lock it until then.

[ladymoondancer]

I'm unlocking this, as the episode aired / airs today. ;D

[battlefield]

I've already seen it, and it was awesome. I liked how they had Twlight Sparkle and her friends take possesion of each of the Elements of Harmony. It sort of reminded me of Power Rangers or something like that. I can't wait to see if they fight any mroe villians later in the season with thier new powers.

[sunstar]

Can someone post a link to the new episode?

[battlefield]

I don't think it's on Youtube yet. I saw it on TV.

[Bright Glow]

It's still not up on youtube. Well I can't wait to see it.

I think they really looks like Power ponies here

[battlefield]

They look like it even more when they're glowing as they get thier bracelets and Twlight Sparkle has her crown and her eyes are glowing.

[Caelum]

SO. I HAVE SEEN IT. And I loved it! ;D

Things of awesome:

OMG WE HAVE A "PREVIOUSLY ON MY LITTLE PONY"!!! First time in MLP history! How cool is that???

Nightmare Moon's mane fueling her big evil magic light storm.

The Mayor of Ponyville actually acting like a leader instead of cowering somewhere as fictional mayors are wont to do in dangerous situations.

Pegasi soldiers attacking Nightmare Moon! Awesome! I mean, nothing came of it, but it's more conflict than we ever got in all of G3 put together!

Baby dragons need their sleep! D'awww! X3

"Are you a SPY??"

The Applejack/Rainbow Dash relationship. Something tells me Applejack's pulled on RD's tail so much over the years RD's spinal cord has become numb.

"Some mysterious objects called the Elements of Harmony are the only things that can stop her. But I don't know what they are. Where to find them. I don't even know what they do!"
"The Elements of Harmony: A Reference Guide!"
"HOW DID YOU FIND THAT?!?"
"It was under EEEEE!!!" *bounces*

OMG PINKIE PIE I LOVE YOU.

"No can do, sugarcube." I love AJ's southernness. XD

Twilight Sparkle flinches whenever someone calls her their friend. Haha!

Applejack saves someone from falling! Oh, the irony! XD

The way Twilight Sparkle screams for several seconds before the pegs catch her. XD

Fluttershy. "Sorry girls. I'm not used to holding anything more than a bunny or two!" XD

Applejack's cliff jumping. Go Earth Ponies!

Rainbow Dash's ego.

MANTICORE! I love how they say what it is!

"Take that you ruffian!"

Manticore's awesome lion noises.

Fluttershy: Wait. Wait! WAIT!!!

Battling the Manticore. Pretty awesome. Way better than battling Aagh. At least it took more than freaking tickling him to get past him...

PINKIE PIE'S SONG SEQUENCE. BEST MOMENT OF THIS EPISODE EVER.
TS: Pinkie, what are you doing? RUN!
PP: Oh, girls, don't you see?
*music starts up*
PP: When I was a little filly and the sun was going dow-ow-ow-own!
TS: Tell me she's not.
PP: The darkness and the shadows, they would always make me frow-ow-ow-own!
Rarity: She is.

The song itself is also pretty good. Nice and catchy. Not as good as Shoop-be-doop, of course, but still pretty awesome. And I love how she bounces all over the place, too. Even when they're charging bad guys! She just keeps BOUNCING!

Did anyone else half-expect some Sea Ponies to show up and help them across the river?

The fashion-conscious river serpent! XD

Rarity's so sweet. ^_^

TS: Oh, Rarity! Your beautiful tail!
R: Oh! It's fine, my dear! Short tails are in this season! Besides, it'll grow back.
RD: So would the mustache.

Music is still very nice, btw.

The showdown between Nightmare Moon and Twilight Sparkle! Nightmare Moon's skepticism at TS's charge was great. "You're kidding. You're kidding, right?" And then how TS winked--WINKED!--out from under her to get to the elements!

The look on Twilight Sparkle's face when Nightmare Moon breaks the elements. D8

Nightmare Moon's continuous use of the word "fool".

For a minute, when she said, "Now you will never see your princess...or your sun." I thought she said "son" and I was all like, "Wait, what? Since when is Twilight Sparkle a mom?"

The spark in Twilight Sparkle's eyes when she heard the others coming.

The whole matching elements to ponies scene. That was pretty cool.

ZOMG THE RAINBOW. Did you see how it was divided into the warm and cool colors? And then it combined!

Rarity just cares about her tail. Never mind the necklace. XD

Sounds like "cutie mark" is still a canonical term.

Princess Celestia! About time you showed up!

And they all bow down to her! Except TS...

D'awww, Princess Luna! You know, at first I was all like, "Oh, c'mon! Can't we just have an awesome recurring villain?" But, you know...I was actually really touched by Celestia and Luna's moment of sibling love, and Luna really did appear sad and sorry and pathetic. I actually felt bad for her. And she KEEPS looking remorseful, even at the end! So I'm okay with it, I guess.

Oh, yeah, and PINKIE PIE. First she falls over during the dramatic moment, then she starts sniffling, and THEN she throws--what else?--A PARTY!!! OMG she is SUCH a G3!

You can see members of the Apple Clan when Spike comes out, I think. Heck, there's so many ponies in Applejack's family, I bet the animators could just use all of them as background ponies and never have to come up with anyone else!

Baby pegasi giving Princess Luna a flower garland at the end! D'aww! And Luna looking at her sister like, "...man, these guys forgive fast." And Celestia's just like, "My hair's still flowy-er than yours. Don't forget that." I do hope that Princess Luna is a recurring character.

Twilight Sparkle doesn't wanna leave Ponyville! She's been brainwashed into the friend-obsessed masses! I kept picturing all the Ponyvillians chanting "ONE OF US. ONE OF US." XD

Pinkie Pie. At the end. Just...Pinkie Pie. XD

So yeah. That's it. And it is awesome.

Also, I've noticed that most--if not all--of the scenes from the promotional material have now been shown. Can't wait to see what new stuff pops up!

[Bright Glow]

I loved the whole episode 1 it was dinamic, funny and intresting. I think when they used the magic of friendship, than it seemed like a Power Ranger and Sailor moon mixture.

Well about fear, my father told me and my little sister that we don't need to fear from the lightning and the loud noise which comes afther it, since than I love seeing lighting and thunders.

[Marbletoast]

Okay, while I still can't love the art. . .

. . .the writing actually trumps the Friends cartoons.

(except Rescue at and Escape from, of course, of which it was on par with.)

[NumiTuziNeru]

...a camp gay sea serpent cum Chinese dragon that looks like Cacofonix.

I have seen everything now.

(otherwise my eyeballs are experiencing orgasm due to AWESOME)

[sparkler]

I LOVE THIS!!!!

Man, but Pegasi seem TOUGH in this one! First their used as soldiers and then Rainbow Dash takes quite a tumble when she's flung into the air by that manticore! They are by no means shrinking violets! (I almost said shrieking violets... wow that would've been one epic typo. XD )

I love the shoutouts to the G1 Escape from Midnight Castle in this one. Especially "How we gonna cross this?" and "You're only a baby dragon!" ^_^

Did anyone else half-expect some Sea Ponies to show up and help them across the river?

Yes, yes I did!

And then I heard the Sea Serpent's crying and thought for just a split-second "OMG MALE SEAPONIES?!" and... hahahahaha

I must say, I love the Sea Serpent. He was cool. XD I hope he shows up from time to time again. ;D

"It was under EEEEE!!!" *bounces*

I love this!!! XDDDDD

For a minute, when she said, "Now you will never see your princess...or your sun." I thought she said "son" and I was all like, "Wait, what? Since when is Twilight Sparkle a mom?"

I THOUGHT THAT TOO! :shock: I was like "WAITAMINNIT WHEN DID SHE HAVE BABIES?! ...And are they Big Mac's? That was quick, man! " j/k guys.

The epic battle scene reminded me a lot of Sailor Moon, but that's okay--that's what made it cool. ;D

Sounds like "cutie mark" is still a canonical term.

That worries me... what do they call the guy's cutie marks, eh? Ohhh that sounds wrong. LOL. XD

I felt sorry for Princess Luna in the end too... but I do regret losing Nightmare Moon... >_> Maybe she's still around, just... in spirit form? Eh... its an idea. Besides, Nightmare Moon looks nothing like Princess Luna so maybe she was pulling a Voldemort and using her body? *conspiracy theories* XD I mean she did technically become a thorn to go inside that manticore's paw... maybe she can use ponies in a similar fashion? She also transformed into The Shadow Bolts too... So.. I'm thinkin' along those lines...

LIKE I SAID IT'S A THOUGHT. *dives at books thrown at her* XD

I liked Pinkie Pie's song... it WASN'T scrap OMG and it was actually kind of amusing! ^__^ I also liked the way the ponies were all "OMG she's not..." "...She is!" Hahaha. XD

I can't wait for the next episode. ;D

[djlamar2]

man that episode rocked. I'm glad Luna isn't evil anymore. she looks so kind now. Poor thing just wanted to belong. also I agree with battlefield on the power rangers thing. I bet they get to use those elements again soon. The rainbow of light is reborn. I wonder something. Do you think that that's what happened to the rainbow of light?
