It does, but it's so quick. It happens right as she pulls Fluttershy off the ground, at least that's how I see.

Fluttershy slightly puckers her lips BEFORE Dash goes to help her up, but not in a way that would suggest she's about to kiss.

Dash's mouth never makes a kissing motion whatsoever.

As a result, the sound is out of place. It could be a stray sound, or someone threw it in for personal purposes. Either way, it wasn't a kiss.

So, I actually just noticed something. It was a blink and you miss it moment, and because my Livestream was acting up during the last half of part 2, I missed it the first time.

Rainbow Dash kisses Fluttershy in this episode. I'm entirely serious. Time code 01:26 will put you closest to the mark in this video. It's heart-meltingly adorable to see the look on RD's face when she sees Fluttershy is safe, then kiss her and fly off.

Some stuff.

Villain name is Chrysalis.

Magenta eyes are canon.

Derpy lives.(Spoilered for those who still want to find her themselves.)

Villain songs (and normal songs too), Luna, Vinyl, Soarin', Fancypants, what else am I missing...

Am I the only one who's actually glad they didn't re-use Discord? Adding a new villain to the roster felt like the better decision here. That being said, they effectively added an entire new race here, one that seems to be antagonists to the ponies, period.

The ending itself wasn't as rushed as the other 2-parters, but the way the villains were defeated was. I think it's a little disappointing that the mane six (except Twi) couldn't make a difference without the Elements, but Cadence+Shining Armor wiped out the threat alone.

I guess I wanted them to "earn" the ending more. That being said there's a lot to like otherwise. Luna making more than a one-scene cameo is what I wanted.

...although I would have appreciated it a little more if she was there to help Celestia when she was in trouble.

No, I was not out of my mind when making this. *liarjack face*

One more clip with new footage. This one's too difficult for me to figure out how to embed, so you'll have to follow the link inside.

New clip over on the above link. 100% new footage to boot!

This is where I would avoid the ponynets for 2 weeks to avoid spoilers, except I should kinda probably stick around here so I can STOP spoilers from spreading, if they do -_-

Now if I don't see a sunrise with someone singing "The circle of life", I will be mildly disappointed.

New commercial.

Mostly a plug for Tori Spelling, but there is a bit of new footage in there, such as Rarity and Rainbow Dash giggling. Nothing major though.

Someone ripped the swf from the hub game site to check DJ-Pon3's eye color - which is likely from the show.

Close enough.

That there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for why the Apple family keeps pigs. D:

Yet one more clip.

2 minute preview clip.

Teaser time.

Early preview time. EDIT: Extended version!

I don't know about you guys, but this image SCREAMS "Macro me!".

I connected to Fluttershy a lot here, since I was teased in my childhood often as well.

Humour was sprinkled appropriately around, and there was a lot of touching scenes as well. I think the one thing missing might have been a song, but the training montage might have been more appropriate anyway.

Also, I'm glad steroid pony was no more than a side-gag (YEAH!).

EDIT: Oh, also, I wasn't listening that carefully, but I've read that Spitfire got a voice change apparently.

So are Spike and Peewee going to become the show's Snoopy and Woodstock?

This episode could have answered so many questions, but it kinda left me hanging. Glad to see phoenixes are still around. Also, is that newborn one going to be Spike's pet now? Rather bizarre.

I think my main disappointment is that dragons are once again portrayed as jerks to everyone but themselves (and even then...).

I guess I can deal with it if that's how they are supposed to be, though.

Another clip for tomorrow's episode.

A good amount of variety in the dragon designs here. They all have wings - perhaps it will become a plot point that Spike lacks such things.

Updated synopsis...kinda. It's actually pretty much the same thing but re-worded. The only thing added is that they're doing it for school apparently.

" In order to become the gossip columnist for their school paper, the Cutie Mark Crusaders adopt the name ‘Gabby Gums,’ but when they land the job, their happiness is cut short by the pain they cause to other ponies with their hurtful stories. "

There's tons of other preview pictures (including a preview clip for Dragon Quest) up on EqD, many of which could belong to the other upcoming episodes. But this is all I need to get hyped for this episode. Return of the griffons!

A preview clip has recently surfaced...but you must solve 3 puzzles to take a peek at it. At least until someone gets on youtube.

The puzzles are very simple stuff. Also, the clip is unusually long (1:30!)

Seems like this episode might be a little more dramatic than usual. Surprised there's no books on dragons in the library.

Also, why's Dash hanging out with Rarity?

EDIT: Already up on youtube.

The reason AJ lost her freckles so often was because her running template didn't come with them.

Compared to Season 1, Season 2's missing freckles count hasn't even reached over 5 yet, so they definitely fixed this now.
