I'm relatively sure one episode will involve crystal ponies . . .
Ya, but what are crystal ponies? This is the first time they've ever been mentioned, and all they did is sing a song about they'll do for them.

This is the first I've seen of Season 3 spoilers. I am excited about the return of Trixie and Luna, as well as potentially seeing Octavia voiced.
I kindof already have a mental idea of a personality for Octavia due to the many, MANY octyxscratch fics I read, so hopefully that doesn't get dashed against the rocks like an oncoming wave...

Or, you can be intelligent like me and just NOT read the fucking thing.

<--- simple solutions.
Indeed. Nothing about fanfic appeals to me. I'm sure there's some clever stuff out there that's well-written, but I'm just going to stick to the show, tyvm.

(In general, I have an allergy to fanfic.)

lol, the fact that the SAW franchise has been in existence for so long disturbs me. Gore and porn are two very popular things.

In that case, consider looking up Sweet Apple Massacre. :evil

*goes off to find it*

Not that you've read the story... Watch the cartoon!

:roll:

The amount of gore porn that the brony community puts out disturbs me.

Cartoon violence (that is, cartoon characters exposed to extreme violence, rather than Tom & Jerry escalations of violent encounters) goes back a long, long way, and the more recent resurgence - as in the Saw franchise or whatever - is part of a magnificent tradition. Look upon these as following in the footsteps of the Le Théâtre du Grand-Guignol and it makes complete sense - it is a pressure valve being released, with no danger to the performers or audience.

From the story:
1984:
BigBrother1984_sml.gif


1984 is about complete and total government surveillance, and brainwashing its citizens to love and accept Big Brother. You should read the book, it's a good--if not scary.

Agree with reading the book.

Of all the books to inspire someone to write a story about Ponyville, 1984 was pretty near the bottom. I love MLP:FIM, but I just can't get into the fan-fics or pics. I enjoy the meme text on screen caps, but that's about it.

Any official date for the show to come back? Sometime in September??

Between there and there
Still TBA.
Although the community seems to be getting impatient--a member of a brony community I'm part fo recently went and photoshopped an image so it looked like Faust was saying that RD would have a boyfriend in season 3. :p

I've heard that it will only be 13 episodes though . . .

Ah, maybe they originally ordered 13 episodes into production, then will start on another 13 after a break to make a full season.

That's my guess. It's the model a lot of shows have been following; half now, half later.
