lea_hazelMy Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Season 2, Episode 1, "The Return of Harmony".
School trip. It's cool to see what are essentially young girl characters (analogous to 12-13, I think) roughhousing in a playful, friendly way, without any more of a big deal being made out of it than if they were boys.
Haha, Cheerilee is an awesome teacher!
I thought they were introducing a new pegasus, but no, it's a cotton candy cloud.
Cotton candy, chocolate milk and popcorn: great setup for a party. Damn, now I'm craving popcorn a lot. :( Haha, I said party and Pinkie Pie showed up!
No way can your spell solve this, Twilight. This would segue so neatly into a Gunnerkrigg Court crossover. Smitty would right this up in no time.
"My failsafe spell... failed!"
Of course they have to go to Canterlot to see the Princess. Of course the Elements of Harmony are gone. I wonder if Discord is some sort of trickster-type figure. That could be fun.
OMG. OMG. At this point, how can anyone not ship Celestia/Discord! He's the only one who gets under her skin! Also, haha, I never noticed before that Cely has Veronica Lakehair mane.
1. I love how Discord moves through the stained glass windows. It's awesome. 2. I love how Celestia does like a knighting gesture with her horn.
"The first rule, no flying, and no magic." Cord, stop perving on Twilight like that. It makes you look like a really shitty comic book supervillain.
"The second rule is a justification for an Eigen plot." Oh Cord, you're so genre-savvy. Also, I just noticed one of his animal features is a goat beard, as in, a villainous goatee.
Rule number one: never split up the party. They really seem to be trying to hit everything.
Brief pause to deal with awful disease symptoms, and wash a peach.
The Running of the Apples. Hey, Applejack, WTF is "tarnation"? I've always wanted to know.
Oh, look, the Three Fates are made out of piles of apples. Sometimes I can't believe the crac this show plays for drama. Oh noes, everypony has stopped liking each other and they never want to see each other again! Oh well, chocolate rain.
Oh, Discord, what a douchebag.
Applejack is nowstoned stupefied. Oh wait, she's just tainted by the distrust sown by Discord's lies. Because her element is honesty. Oh, Applejack, you silly filly! You were talking to apple pile puppet moirae, so saying "nopony" isn't actually a lie!
EVIL BALLOONS. FUCK. I'M SCARED. WHERE'S YOUR GRANDMA PIE NOW, PINKIE? HUH? HUH?
"Your friends laugh at you all the time!" She's gonna fall for it, isn't she?
He said O RLY? I swear he did.
The opposite of laughter is anger? At least her hair didn't go flat. That was depressing.
"I shan't succumb to such fabulousness!" Oh, Rarity!
Man, that's a bigass diamond. Oh, okay, it's actually a humongous boulder. Of course.
Butterflies can't protect you, Fluttershy, they're invertebrates. With... tiny... discord horns?
"You've been kind for far too long, my dear! Time to be cruel!" Again with the pulp villain endearments? No one buys that, dude. Plus, it's kinda desperate.
Cloud hammock. Is there something creepy about the word "plush"? No, I must be imagining it.
Ooh, Rainbow is up for some good ol' fisticuffs.
He's threatening Cloudsdale? It's official, Rainbow Dash is Batpony.
That counts as breaking rule #1? Dude, he really is a trickster. What's next, three backfiring wishes?
Haha, he has a pink umbrella!
TBC. Can't wait for the conclusion. Can't help but note that Twilight is the only non-gray pony at this point, plus she has her horn back, and her element is ~MAGIC~. Should be cool.
This might be the best episode of the show so far.
