  1. What consistency? It was never stated in the series anywhere that Luna and Celestia were the only alicorns. In fact they never really established in the show's mythology what an alicorn really is or where they come from, or what makes one. The fandom just filled in the details themselves in headcanon.

    It was pretty clear that Lauren Faust intended Luna and Celestia to be the only Alicorns. Princess Cadance was supposed to only be a unicorn, she was changed to an Alicorn behind her back.

  2. I don't see this situation hurting the show. Many shows have suffered because they are unwilling to make changes and become stale. Twilight can still encounter friendship problems and the change opens new opportunities for stories. Being an alicorn also doesn't mean she automatically gets put into power someplace and has to leave Ponyville. Cadence spent the majority of her life not ruling anything. Even if Twilight ends up a ruler we still get to watch that story unfold

    Well to be fair, Cadance is The Crystal Princess, so she does rule over The Crystal Empire.

    There's no guarantee that Princess Twi will live the rest of her days in Canterlot just yet. With any luck, she'll keep her residence in the good ole' library tree that we all love. :blush:

    EDIT: REVISED PLOT SYNOPSIS REVEALED!

    Ehhh....that doesn't make it better. :shifty:

  3. So here's my view on the whole Alicorn Twilight reveal that we had today. Honestly I don't really buy the whole 'Twilight been on this grand journey from the beginning' that Meghan McCarthy is trying to sell us on. The reason I don't buy that is that it's pretty clear that Faust's original vision was that only Celestia and Luna were the Alicorns. This was pretty evident when she said that Cadance was originally supposed to be a unicorn but DHX changed it at the last minute.

    I also always got a 'The Next Starswirl The Bearded' vibe from Twilight Sparkle TBH. I mean she's a huge fan of Starswirl and she comes off as more of a Merlin type of character more than anything else. Always studying, always learning magic, always the one the other ponies go to for guidance and help.

    I think the line by Donna Tobin, MLP Brand Director is also worrying because it means that the thing that made MLP:FiM unique may be chipped away at. The last time I'd want or any brony would want is the show to revert back to Generation 3.5. *shudders*

    I'll watch the season finale of course and as always I'll hope for the best, but I think the writers stumbled a bit in Keep Calm and Flutter On, an episode that should've been better. So while the writing staff is still very much capable of putting out top shelf material, they do have a chink in their armor.

  4. You're not the only one having the same trouble. I've purchased and downloaded the episode and I'm having the same problem as well. I'm playing the episode through my home theatre system (Apple TV with the optical audio component connected directly to my Sony 5.1 Amplifier unit) and I can clearly hear the cluck.

    Sounds like we need to either contact iTunes, DHX or both.

  5. Yay, my first post in an episode discussion on Canterlot.com!

    LOVED the episode! I loved everything about it, from beginning to end!

    The term Alicorn is now canon

    I think the opening scene was the Stephen King reference, not sure, although it did remind me of the opening scene in Gremlin.

    Is it me or was the corruption of Trixie really subtle? She just acted like her old egomaniac self.

    Loved both magic duel, but I gotta agree that R63 is not canon, simply because that's Big Mac, not a true R63 AJ.

    I gotta agree with some of the others, for a kids show, this was dark. However, still not as dark as Party of One or Lesson Zero.

    Zecora can do hoof magic? I can see soooooo many fanfic of Earth ponies doing this kind of magic now.

    Jedi training sequence FTW!

    All in all a great episode and my favorite one of this season!
