My sources indicate season 3 will not come on in September. Try a month or two after that.

Also damn it, now there's two pony threads to keep track of. Nice job breaking it, hero.

Le bump.

So, I did a pony version of myself with the pony creator. I'll post picture soon.
@Sean
Yes. I had to. I felt like the general public needed a pony thread, and not just the VIP people.

Wow, I can't believe nopony has mentioned the premiere yet on this thread. I only just watched it because I was at a tournament when it came out.
So, it was very well made. The cinematography, art design, all that was great. However I feel that it didn't have the same magic to it as the finale for season 2, the Canterlot Wedding, or either of the other two season premieres. I think one reason why this was not as powerful was because Sombra (that's his name, right?) had almost no background, and therefore was a really boring character (cue fanfiction authors.) Also, the reason why I liked the Royal Wedding so much was because they led us to expect that it was going to be just about Shining Armor and Cadance's wedding. They had all the advertising and made a huge deal about it. And then when it finally aired, I was like, oh my god what is going on. That is something that this lacked I think. I guess if they had spent a little more time on the concept of the Crystal Empire rather than introducing it all at once it would have been more cohesive.

Lol, I'm not disappointed. I purposefully avoided all leaked information about the episode so I wouldn't get my hopes up or whatever. It's nowhere near as good as the other three I mentioned, but the sheer excitement of the new season makes up for that. Maybe it's actually the "slice of life" sort of episodes that I really missed from the show. I guess I will find out next week (same bat-time, same bat-channel!)

Okay, can somepony explain what Gak is? I saw a bunch of memes about it yesterday and I kept expecting it to be some material that Sombra uses to trap ponies or whatever. But there was no mention of Gak in the whole episode... What in the world?

Today's episode was really great. Wow.

The first Scootaloo episode. I've waited a while for this. Scootaloo is my favorite pony. It had some really funny scenes, and really hilarious faces, also, Luna, I'm very happy about that.

I liked how RD was cool in this episode, instead of being rather mean and far too self-centered as she's been recently.

As much as I like Scootaloo, this episode was not my favorite. Perhaps it was not on par with the last three but I just didn't enjoy it as much. Mind you it was still a good episode, but kind of a let-down in my opinion.
Also, why isn't anypony writing letters to Princess Celestia anymore?

also: BOOOOOOOOOM cube!!

Personally, I don't mind ponies not writing letters to Princess Celestia that often anymore. Although the target audience is still "little girls", I think the message is clear enough for most of the audience. They're treating us like persons who don't need to be told what was it all about, we can think on that by ourselves. It also would have ruined the atmosphere in some episodes, imo.
I really liked this episode, and I like how episodes are getting a darker tone in some parts (especially the beginning of "Magic Duel") while still being colorful and happy overall. Actually, I think the average quality of the episodes is increasing.
