flutterscotch Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I WANT HOLIDAY EPISODES! HOOOOLLIDAYYYYSSS! Oh man, what do we have left to explore?I am assuming that the Summer Sun Celebration is parts of Easter (although a hilarious episode with Angel giving out eggs would be brilliant), so we;ll cancel out EasterHearthswarming eve = Thanksgiving? Or Christmas?Nightmare Night is clearly HalloweenHeart and Hooves day is definitely Valentines' day.St. Patty's day? Green pony beer? Whatever holiday Hearthswarming eve is not supposed to be?

Lux Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Well so far there's:Summer Sun - more like a Summer Solstice (June 20-21 st) The longest day in the year.Probably a Winter's Eve (December 20-21 when the night is the longest)Winter Wrap UpNightmare Night (Halloween)Hearth's Warming Eve (Christmas)Hearts and Hooves (Vallentine's Day)Family Appreciation Day (Mother's/Father's/ Grandparents Day)Sisterhooves SocialRunning of the LeavesReally unless they come up with a strictly pony holiday, then I think everything's coverd except Easter as a general holiday (rather than a national holiday like Memorial Day or Independence Day) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acynder Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I'm hoping for no holiday episodes and more original plots. That was one of the good things about Season 1 compared to Season 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosewind Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I think the obligatory "holiday" episodes honored the series without being too upfront about it, and offered some original and entertaining stories as a result. How many of us will fire up Hearts and Hooves Day for Valentine's Day from here on? Or make it a tradition to watch Luna Eclipsed during Halloween? I plan to! Winter Wrap Up/Running of the Leaves introduced holidays that honor the seasonal equinoxes, which I think is quite clever and worth celebrating!

I think Hearth's Warming Eve is more like Thanksgiving, since they discover Equestria and settled there like the colonists did back then. But then again, I immediately did think it was a Christmas equivalent when I first saw the title... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, I immediately did think it was a Christmas equivalent when I first saw the title...I think the beauty of it is that it manages to celebrate all of those holidays in a way that is important to us, or our own personal perception of it. Not everypony celebrates Christmas or Thanksgiving, but the holiday time has some special meaning that resonates with everypony in some way -- Hearth's Warming in particular did that beautifully.

flutterscotch Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 I note with some extreme interest that when I bought the Cloudsdale figure set today at Target, the little background cardboard thing, under a fold, has SCOOTALOO FLYING. Sure, she looks odd, BUT SHE IS FLYING. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicRainb00m Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 That COULD be Scootaloo flying, but it could easily be another filly that looks similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flutterscotch Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 That COULD be Scootaloo flying, but it could easily be another filly that looks similar.Why, when every single other of the packages used vector art of the main characters, would they make vector art for a pony we have never seen before?

Rosewind Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Nice find, Flutterscotch! I imagine flight school for her was harsh and she probably rammed her face into stuff while learning.That's how I'd spin it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosewind Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Nah. This is what happened...OMC! Hilarious. I wonder if the other two CMCs are going to learn to fly, too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingChrysalis Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Hey guys, there was a new Alicorn that got leaked onto Equestria DailyHer name is "Princess Skyla".Man, that is one UGLY toy. Hasbro's toy department really needs to lay off the drugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RarityDash Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Yeah... that's pretty terribly hideous. Princess Skyla though? Makes one wonder. Guess Cadance and Shining Armor might have gotten a little busy since the wedding... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess Cadance and Shining Armor might have gotten a little busy since the wedding... My thoughts exactly. She even has the same color as Cadence.Guess that love spell has been working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellosh Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Odd; for someone who's supposed to be a newborn, Princess Skyla's official art makes her look more like a schoolchild than a infant like the Cake twins. Assuming Skyla is Shiny and Cadance's love child*, it would be very perplexing if the Princess shows up like her official art while the Cake twins remain as newborns.*Har har, it's funny because it's figuratively true.

A younger alicorn princess being there is a possibility, I suppose.Honestly, I wouldn't really mind the whole matter of who exactly Cadence parents are being settled one and for all, as much as it's been joked about since she was introduced.

Rosewind Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 More than half of the episodes of S3 are scored, possibly: http://willheim.devi...-Math-319052184As for Skyla, I think I'll go with Phil's prediction with her being connected to the Crystal Empire in some way -- though the dialogue on the toy "Mommy, are you a Princess too?" might make her Cadence's. Or Celestia's. :-o :-o :-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lux Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Either that or the toy is asking whoever's buying it if they're a princess.(Guess Skyla never seen a brony before)But I can definitely see this new pony as a sister or daughter.Now, consider that Skyla may also be a full grown pony like Cadence. Remember how Hasbro made a newborn Pinkie Pie doll as well as Sweetie Belle? So, until I see Sktla in the show, I won't count on her being a foal.
