MLP: FiM: For the New Lunar Old Republic

The second half of Return of Harmony is still my favorite episode, not least because the resolution was less of a Deus ex Machina and had more emotional resonance. This was still pretty great, though.
I liked that the underlying lesson/theme was basically about dealing with a family member marrying someone who's actually a complete asshole, but they don't see it. In real life there's no changeling reveal to get out of it; you either have to confront the family member and risk alienating them without changing their mind, or stay silent and wait for the inevitable divorce.
Mi Amore (Italian for "my love") actually, I'm assuming.
Mind control, remember?
And the fight was so one-sided she didn't consider it a thing.
COME FORTH, AMATERASU!
Yeah, there were sweetie belle and apple bloom centric episodes, but none for scootaloo

GreyViolet look kind of badass.He's got a gallery of several other detailed artworks. When you can draw like that, items to put in your portfolio can be useful.
FFFFFFFFF
It was badass.
One tiny tiny criticism is that Shining Armor was never introduced before and the opening exposition of his character was a little ham-handed. The rest of the episode took care of that.
You know what's interesting... When the ponies were battling the buffalo, it was pies...
Also the guy who subbs MLP in NicoNico does two-part episodes over two weeks. I feel sorry for the Japanese.
I was ready 2ch and they think Candice has a Japanese name
Her name is "Mi Amore Candenza"
But they think it's "Miyamori Cadenza" (宮森・カデンザ)
I actually thought that's what they said too...
Finality. End of season. Coincidence? There's also something called a
Ponies teach me things about music theory. Who would have thought.
I think it's more a reference to this. Which is a related meaning, but more relevant.
Ah yes, the obvious horse pun. Which I totally missed. Also, apparently it's the name of an executive's daughter.
edit: Turn out there is, in fact, more to it. Daniel Ingram is a very clever composer, and of course he knows all about cadences and such.
Love, maybe? She had that Cupid spell. Not in the same league as the sun/moon, but meh.
I really hope we get a world building episode about the alicorns sometime. Are they all immortal and physical gods or what? Are there more than Celestia/Luna/Cadence? Where do they come from?
Thank you thank you thank you thank you THANK YOU!
I finally have a pony avatar! Woohoo!
... though... given how effeminate my screenname is (hey, I picked it in 96), I should probably take my chances next time there's a chance to get a nickname change and try to go for my WoW handle.
NNID and many other services: Athenor or Myridiam // 3DS: 3883-5283-0471
Premiere of Season 3? Finale of Season 3? Wouldn't expect it to be a mid-season single episode.
Man he looks old with the beard.

That kinda assumes Princess is actually the Equestrian word for Goddess.
I'm not sure I'd want to go that far.
Where is my delicious, delicious character development?
The entire season has been nothing but character development. I like the change of pace this time around.
Can each episode be better than the last? Yes they can.
I squealed when I realized there was a freaking VILLAIN SONG, and it was indeed an epic, epic villain song. Man, this show is incredible; time to wait several more poniless months now. D=

EDIT:
If Season 3 ends up being adventure-focused as is being speculated (with a season-long villain and such), then Season 2 has done a fantastic job of setting up for that, just in terms of how much character development and groundwork has been put into place.
Indeed. I'm somewhat tired of the slice of life episodes and the season finale was refreshing, in that it focused on characters doing stuff instead of being engaged in long dialogues and meaningless animation sequences that try to flesh out their characters. The Mane 6 is already fleshed out enough. I can't see how the writers can push the envelope any further.
Twilight's brother flashback. Celestia tries, and fails against the Changelings. Rarity + Sweetie Belle episode, Applebloom was there, but no Scootaloo, so maybe? I seem to recall a Twilight-less episode. Big Mac and Cheerilee. Zap-apples episode, see Granny Smith's family. Free space. Assertive Fluttershy. Trollestia always. Secret of my excess. Rarity's parents. Derpy spoke. Rainbowdash likes to read now. Pinkiepie obviously broke the 4th wall. Dragon migration. Changelings sorta?
Pretty sure the top left refers to a whole episode dedicated to flashbacks like the cutie mark chronicle one. They're changlings, not ponies. Im sure the panel is referring to seaponies or something with the word pony in it.
You weren't the only one thinking of this. Spike is awesome.
It's more of an aesthetic difference than a whole new species though.
I would love a higher action to slice-of-life ratio. I'd still want silly day to day problem episodes though and I think there are a surprising number of places the team could go with the characters.
Hmmm, it could turn into a walking the knife's edge kind of scenario...
