From: Big Bob | #018 I think the Cutie Mark Crusaders are gonna defeat Discord. That's why they were so heavily featured in the intro. Discord can't turn them against each other because they ALREADY make fun of each other, push each other around, argue, etc. Despite all that, they're still the best of friends, and it'll blow Discord's mind that unity can still exist within chaos.
Someone's a genius.
Unless they want to be black and white and go all in on the order front.

So I was browsing a... questionable site, and there's Rainbow Dash. No, not as the questionable content, but just her looking at me over the choices. It isn't even close to anything that concerns her.
Just read through... entire last 500 post topic... *gasp, pant* over the course of 4.5 hours *stumbles* so I could get my fill of ponies *pant* before the Purge got it. *collapses in a heap*
Whew~
Dunno if I already said it itt, but I'm all caught up now and eagerly awaiting tomorrow's ep.
Well what they had was really good, but what they had to leave out caused for what could only be called a Titan-class deus ex machina. Knew it was coming when there was only 8 minutes left and they still had to do just about everything.
Also sad Twilight was heartbreaking.

Feels bad Discord lost when he clearly showed he could have destroyed them at any time (even with the elements) but he chose to tank what is considered the equivalent to Spiral Power in FIM.

First half of the episode showed promise, but man that ending was disappointing. Discord was much less entertaining this time around, and the whole thing felt rushed and sloppy.
A couple great set-pieces though, but they could've done more with the whole "chaos" theme.

That said, I feel like the anti-ponies are a little inconsistent.
Like...Anti-Pinkie is basically the reverse of Pinkie-Pie. Hates sweets, hates fun. But anti-Rarity is...actually not far from Rarity. For all that in theory she's "generosity", she also has a greedy streak. And while I can't ever see her stealing jewlery from her friends, I can see her considering it for a moment, and then going "no, no I couldn't possibly, that would be wrong." She's constantly fighting with temptation like that.

That's something I quite like about Rarity: though she's the element of generosity, she has a strong need to feel appreciated, and is sometimes tempted to apply her generosity selfishly. Anti-Rarity has the scales tipped too far in the wrong direction, to the point where she begins to not only obsess and covet, but even try and steal. It fits in with what the other ponies were dealing with:
That part didn't bother me, at least not nearly as much as the "let's have Discord laugh and say chaos for twenty minutes and then rush the ending" approach.

Ack. Stayed up too late and missed it, not that I get HUB anyway. I would've had to catch a live stream. Somepony please post a link when Part 2 is uploaded somewhere. High quality, low quality, it doesn't matter.
