All right, I need to get the following out of my system.

Apple Jack: "I saw we dust off, and 'Rainbow Dash' the entire site from orbit." (looks up at her friends shoked expressions) "It's the only way to be sure."

Rainbow Dash: "Freaking A!"


*****

RD: "Ghost reporting"

Comper: <a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXzF6PI3nV0' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Sonic Rain Nuke....Detected</a>

RD: "Never know what hit'em"


*****

RD: "Today's forecast is extra boomy with a chance of mushroom clouds"
As far as naming RD's attack, I'm found of 'Tacticle Rainboom' myself.

Also....I'd suggest no one ever pulls a 'break the cutie' on fluttershy as I dread to think of the monster they'd unleash upon the world.
Actually, there's been a few of those.

Two that I can think of have ended up with her not doing much other than scaring the bajeebus out of everyone else, another where it was revealed that it ultimately wasn't her fault for what she'd done, and another was basically a backstory piece that attempted to offer a reason why she had The Stare.

She has the Stare because she's the Gorgan's daughter, I thought everyone knew that.

An awful lot of fanfiction summaries that involve 'Twilight botches a spell'.

Silly Twilight, when will you learn that those special teleportation spells never work.

I thought she found out about the stare when cthulhu gazed upon fluttershy and the old one was driven insane.

Yes, that's how she learned about her Stare, but the source is her mothers side, though I will admit her father's....family lineage likely boosted it's power.

I was just in "Know your memes" looking up the Oribital Frienship cannon when I noticed a post talking about changing the name of the meme to "The Arsenal of Harmony". This name, DESERVES a fanfic. I have no idea what or how this will work but there is ni way we can just let that go.

Some notes:

Fluttershy: CQC instructor
Rainbow Dash: Mare of Mass Destruction

Trolle...I mean Celestia: "The Arsenal of Harmony shall bring about peace! Peace through Power!!"

Okay Luna, Pro-tip. When I can set your entrance to "One-Winged Angel" and it fits, you may want to tone it down.

Seriouly, not bad at all and I hope we'll be seeing more of Pipsquek. The little Colt had the guts to walk up to a mare of darkness and ask for more. Zecora also get's props for being a fantastic story teller.

I'm sorry but after hearing Princess Luna speak the following occured to me.

Silence ruled as the Stallions gaze from behind a metal mask cowed the citizens of Ponyville

"Father!" Celesita and Luna were soon at the stallions side tears misting their eyes.

The father of Equestria's rulers spared a moment to favor them both with a paternal touch "Doom is pleased to see you both." He rumbled

Is it wrong that every time she spoke, I was thinking along the lines of "this is like is Zero had no inside voice" or "I never knew Luna was one of the Abridged Roba family" or "you now, I bet I can make a pic out of one with her eyes glowing captioned 'Assuming Direct Control'"

Also, pony count for this episode, Rarity is missing... why, of all ponies, is Rarity missing? I'd assume she'd be out and about on the costume night. Also, why the fuck is everyone but Twilight out of the mane bunch scared of Luna? They SAW her purified, and they know they have the Elements of Harmony. Pinkie is excusable, but Fluttershy and Applejack aren't.

Also, Chicken!Pinkie is made of win.

Also, Luna's over-dramatic acting really could fit with Kamen Rider Fourze (who is based on the moon, and is space themed)... and now I'm imagining Luna as Fourze.

Actually, Rarity's voice actor also play Princess Luna, I think, so Perhaps they didn't want to overwork her, especially since next weeks episode is all about her and her sister.

As for mane caste being scared. Pinki Pie was playing a game, Fluttershy is frightened of her own shadow (literally!) Rainbow dash didn't interact with her and Applejack got over any lingering trepidation real fast.

That said, Luna was not making a great first impression. I mean when she's by her sisters side she seemed fine. Now however she's swooping in on a chariot designed by Dracula, and speaking in booming voice to all her beloved subjects (who knew she was Bene Gesserit?), while thunderclouds gather and lighteing pierces the sky. Impressive yes, but not a way to make friends.
 
I don't understand how sharing voice actors would harm anyone. Voice recording is the first thing done when making a cartoon, and done months to a year before the show goes on. And they often record out of sequence anyway.

Besides Twilight, who's a constant, Luna had the most lines in this episode, most of them spent shouting, doing Rarity as well might've been a bit much. And before anyone asks about why shouting makes this so important, there has been a recorded case of aVA passing out (or almost passing out) for shouting for the script too long... the english dub of Dragon Ball Z, Goku going Super Saiyan 3, apparently

Makes sense.

As for an in-story explanation for Rarity's absence, lemme see if I can fanwank one up... ah, got it!

Everypony in town is wearing a costume tonight.

Who's the local tailor?

Rarity's probably in her shop passed out from exhaustion, having spent the last several weeks sewing every costume (except for those who handmade their own) to her usual OCD standards of perfection.

Alternately, the streets are full of horrid, crudely handmade creations that it gives her the twitches to look at, so she spends Nightmare Night locked down inside her house, reading romance novels.

Chuckq, you weren't too far off, the following is from Lauren Faust herself.

She was still working on her costume, and perfectionist as she is, it wasn't ready. (I forget what it was.)

There was a whole sequence where Twilight brought Luna to Rarity's for a makeover, hoping she could give Luna a "softer," less intimidating look. Rarity freaked out about get to dress up a Princess and over did it, covering her in the pinkiest pink princess get up ever. Luna disliked it and in taking it off, had a piece of the dress in her mouth. Pinkie showed up just at that moment and screamed that Nightmare Moon ate a princess and all the kids screamed and ran.

Ah, a pity that got cut. Well, if we get a DVD release eventually, hopefully we might get that as a deleted scene.

Spike....you may want to try being more creative next year.

Also, Tabitha St. Germain plays Rarity, Photo Finish, Granny Smith, and Luna. Three out of four of those characters are <a href='http://chzbronies.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/yo-dawg.jpg' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Large Hams</a> so it's becoming obvious to me that she's the go to girl whenever they need someone who can can chew the scenary.

And darn she's got a talent for it, that's for sure!

TVTropes calls Tabitha St. Germain "The Queen of Pony Ham".

... eee-yup.

I just discovered that Skyrim eventually allows you to summon a Dragon as you're ally. In my mind, his name is Spike, and if I get good with the mod tools, I'll ensure he looks like our little friend.

Well, it's official. I've been bronied.

Here're a few fic recs of my own:
<a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7211729/1/On_ba_b_bCross_b_and_bArrow_b' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>On a Cross and Arrow</a>
The Mane Cast finds themselves in a Rule 63'd version of their world. This is interesting.


<a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7038217/1/Ah_Aint_Got_no_Ackcent' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Ah Aint Got No Ackent</a>
This actually seems like an episode of the show.

<a href='http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/02/story-cupcakes.html' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Cupcakes</a>
..Well SOMEONE had to suggest it.
