Just kidding, I'm pretty sure that everypony is aware of that shot from episode 1 by now.
Yep, pointed out the CMC together a loooong time ago, shortly after the board opened up! Though I didn't think to post it, haha.Well aren't you guys special!!
-
here are the CMCs:
Except this shot was taken in Episode 1, before Apple Bloom met Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo.

Fat and lazy Twilight!

maybe a flower-oriented name like Rosie or Lillian, playing off the irony that she is allergic to probably all of them.

Pokey Smokes!
Black Snootie, Black Snootie... LOL

For a name, the word "whimsy" or "whimsical" come to mind.

Ahh, the good ol' nature vs. nurture debate.
I think it can be a little of both. However, I would side more with the fact that she doesn't have a clear talent and that most of the things we've seen so far are the things anypony could learn. Twilight is a leader, and leaders don't have a specific talent in any particular thing, they usually tend to have a large array of general knowledge. Not everypony can be a leader.
In thinking about ponys' destinies and their cutie marks and motivation, I would say that some ponies have natural abilities and talents that make them special (nature), while other ponies have to work hard to find out what is so special about them (nurture).
This is another terrific example of this show's moral character and an attempt to help the viewers understand these ways-of-life for themelves. And this theme is riddled throughoout the CMC episodes.

How interesting...

In Friendship is Magic, all the ponies instantly dry themselves as soon as Rarity gives attention to the emotional serpent.

It's pretty clear that the worst part of this episode is Twilight's mispronunciation of 'everypony.'
However, I contest that it's not necessarily the writers messing up, especially how easy it was to catch this time. I suspect that 'body' is thrown in there every once and a while on purpose, as to not overdo the use of everypony, anypony, and no pony. It keeps the dialogue on a chain and allows the universe the characters are in to be not so 'out of this world.'

hi hi
I think I've figured it out! ...the element that I was missing I mean. They foreshadowed the resolution way in advance when Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash were brought to the buffalo camp.
Spike says that the buffalo respect dragons, but ponies not so much when he is given a delicious bowl of turquoise and the other two are given mushy slop. So in the context of this episode, giving good food is a sign of genuine respect. So it is no coincidence that giving good food is part of the solution, because it is a way for the settler ponies to show that they genuinely respect their neighbors.
except ponies dont eat jewels.

of course, there are things you can find on the internet...
-
waiting for the conclusion is worse than waiting for the beginning, IMO
-
Doesn't HUB's website have the episodes in their videos vault? I mean, they wont update until the weekend is over probably, but at least it's from a source that wont get 'taken down.'
-
You know, you should try waiting for the second part to upload before you watch the first one. That's what I did.
Nice video though...
-
I also noticed that when the group is reunited, Fluttershy reacted the most, and tackled Pinky. She didn't even mention Rainbow Dash. Maybe a little something there, hmm???
I am sure the fanfic writers are ready to ship that as we speak.
Wow, talk about disecting an episode...

Ok, I'm not a very good artist. I don't draw very well and my knowledge of coloring schemes is basic. In high school, I painted a monotone piece with three different hues of colors.
However, I like NASCAR, and I have found a way of combining my bronihood and my love for fast cars together. Toyota is having a "Sponsafier" contest in which people can create their own paint scheme designs for their favorite driver.

Well, I think I outdid myself this time...

The entry dates listed March 20th as the last day to enter, but it still let me register it and submit it. I'm not thinking it will win, especially since the top voter getter is a Lime Disease awareness car, and the tallies aren't even close.
Tell me what you guys think!!

Oh! And another thing.
Braeburn is an awesome character. Of course his name is based off the Braeburn Apple.
When I heard his voice, I kept thinking of the same voice I have heard elsewhere. It took me a while to remember where I heard it, but then I remembered. It sounds like the Mr. DNA from Jurassic Park.

My favorite line from this episode:
Following other character's statements, Fluttershy pops in. "I would love to be a tree."
A couple things I loved about this episode:
1. Character design on the buffalo. WOW!! The way they animated the buffalo, just like they animated the rest of the show, was pure awesomeness. There's seems to be no exception to the way they choose to animate action shots of the characters, slow or fast, even if it's a new or minor character. It's things like this that keep me watching the show. Anypony could write a cartoony western about a land dispute, but it takes artists, writers, and voice actresses like the ones MLPFiM has to make it awesome.
2. Pies. As I understood the story and found out there would be a good old fashioned western fight scene (more of a battle), I discussed with myself exactly how they would do this. In the nanoseconds I wasn't being awed by the characters, I pondered the actual reality of an actual battle scene in this show. How would they do it? How much violence would they show? What would they use as weapons? As I watched the Applelossians harvest their non-ripe apples, and haul them to the town, I thought, oh, ok they're using apples. No. They took it a few steps further. Hundreds and hundreds of pies filled my screen and couldn't help but laugh at the quality of silliness. The contrast between the seriousness of the characters and the tasty goodness of a comic-destined apple pies makes for jaw-dropping scenes where you are trying not to laugh because you want to hear the serious things the distressed characters are saying and doing. Princeless!

Children's programming typically doesn't line up with the way successful primetime programming is.
The plus side of this is that there probably wont be a nasty cliffhanger at the end of the first season's last episode.
-
I don't say them because I know no one will get them anyway.
I'd rather save my breath.
That's the reason why I do it. Rare chance they'll ever get it. But if they do, they a randomly understood brony code FTW!!!

A story:
A father is surfing the internet while his 7 year old daughter watches television. He finds this article confirming the second season of MLPFiM. He walks over to his daughter and says, "Hey, they are making more episodes of that pony cartoon you like."
His daughter shrieks, "Yay, I love that show. I'm so glad they are making more of it. Isn't that great dad!?"
Her dad shrugs, "hehe, yeah, it's great, i guess..." He walks into his bedroom out of sight and sound of his daughter and closes the door. He continues by jumping up and down and shouting at the top of his lungs, "YES!!!! They are making more episodes!!!"
He opens his underwear drawer and pulls out his hidden Twilight Sparkle doll and begins brushing her hair. "You hear that, Twi? We're gooing to have MORE adventures!"

The genius of HASBRO's cartoons is that it is self promoting to show them. Instead of having a cartoon that has a my little pony toy commercial once every 10 to 15 minutes, they have a growing collection of 22 minutes episodes that promotes the toy line in itself. Because of this, HASBRO wouldn't be losing much by it being viral on YouTube, despite the tales being told about adult collectors not being a significant source of HASBRO's income. Any extra chances a kid who wants the toy has to watch this show, the more likely a toy is purchased.
