This looks great for the backstory. I wonder if 'hoo-mins' inhabited the world before :P

Octavia said...

Yay, new episode! I have a feeling this will probably be my favorite episode yet too. Or close to it anyway. I have a fondness for Holiday specials. Which is why I liked Luna Eclipsed so much. Well, besides Luna of course. <3 Though Christmas is my favorite holiday, so this one will probably surpass it.

derpy dash typhlosion said...

i wonder what epic awesome things Rainbow Dash will do this episode!?

BronyRad said...

Itttt won't be as good as nightmare night. How could it be

Applebloomismywaifu said...

there will be a pinkie pie song if im not wrong

cheezesauce said...

magic would own in snowball fights...

Mouse said...

I'm really looking forward to some epic history in this one. I love all the background info like this.

AfroMike said...

why stop at filly 6? 7,8 and 9 need love too.

Zamoonda said...

Why no Pony Archives link though?

ndrazzar said...

Snowball fights aint balanced in ponyville :O
inb4 pinkie pie song

Hax Mega said...

For people who want to try a different stream (If your having issues with the main) I have a 2nd stream up. http://www.justin.tv/haxmega

Jay6 said...

I'll be enjoying the good high quality streaming from Haxmega. :P

Deyna said...

I'm hoping for some Pinkie Pie. She's had a few gems this season, but for the most part she's seemed absent.

un1c0rn said...

Thanks for not linking to ponyarchive after they refused the c&d and putting up itunes link instead :) *already waits for itunes to mail for episode being available for download

Nando said...

I hope not. I'd rather her get her own episode rather than get mixed up with an episode centered on a holiday, y'know?

Then again, we did have two RD episodes back-to-back...

D. Shadows said...

Predictions.

1. Derpy.

2. Well known background character appearance.

3. D'aww.

4. Pinkie center piece as a holiday celebrating pony.

5. The synopsis about it being entirely about a play may not be truthful.

6. Twilight once again geeks out.

7. Happy ponies at the end and possibly at least one thrown snowball.

8.Snowmen despite humans not existing in equestria.

Fitto Palladio said...

@D. Shadows Don't forget
9. Rarity in some awesome winter dress or accesory

El_Darax said...

@Deyna

Both Fluttershy and Pinkie have been super underrepresented thus far in S2.......

Hell even AJ has...unless you count her part in The sistser's episode...but that was really a *eye roll* Sweetie/Rarity ep.

AND GUESS WHO MY TOP 3 OF THE MANE CAST ARE? I'LL GIVE YOU A HINT....

D:< <--- Dis' my face right now

TheIdlingRev said...

I haven't been this excited for an episode since the start of season 2 itself.

DahDoctow said...

Every fanfic writer will smash their laptops when they show the history of Equestria.

Kinrah said...

@Seth - We in the UK would settle for some episodes other than the first thirteen over and over again :/

bestpony? AJ ;) said...

Can't wait for a new song I'll be listening to for the next two months! :D

sa_Spog said...

I'd definitely sign whatever petition to legally get the pony eps here.

Finghost said...

@ZamoondaBecause of http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/12/ponyarchive-recieves-cease-desist.html

Daisy Cake said...

For the first time since season two started, I can't watch the stream the moment it comes one. I'll have to wait for some kind soul on YouTube to put it up...

why do grow men like this shit anyway

milleniummaster18 said...

A petition? Oh well, I guess the slow, uncertain way is better than nothing.

Until then, YT or torrents it is.

StrangeNoise said...

(in UK): I finally buckled and did the dance to get a US iTunes account without a US credit card, and to go the gift-card route, and now have legit season 1 and season 2 pass. Not without some worry while a procedural delay made me think the gift card seller was actually a scammer, which would have been embarrassing as I've never fallen for an online scam before, but it all turned out well in the end.

So I'd actually be a bit *annoyed* now if it turned up on UK iTunes tomorrow. Even though it should be obvious to anyone who isn't in the 20th century media industry that they should do it. It really is ridiculous to have to jump through so many hoops to buy the content legitimately.

11monkeys said...

I know what I‘ll do. TF2 on brony servers and LOL with a brony acc till the episode is on youtube :)

axz said...

this is going to be so EPIC!!!!!!

Mike said...

Can wait... can't wait... confound this large quantity of homework!!!

suika2344 said...

thank god pony Archive won't shut down :D

Yappy said...

@StrangeNoiseUh, would you mind explaining those steps for the rest of us in the UK? I'm still kinda baffled by all the store-switching and card-selecting required. #^^#

DSludge said...

Hasbro should acquire PonyArchive and merge it with their marketing department. PA has what Hasbro lacks - a functioning distributing channel of their MLP cartoon "commercial".
Then the Hasbro people could rack their brains to come up with wether it would be better to charge people for the episodes or to give them out for free - if they would make up on the roundabouts what they loose on the swings.

Alester said...

Hate it when the only way to get pony is by iTunes! D:

suika2344 said...

@Alester

pony archive won't shut down so you can still download them there

Mike said...

@DSludge
^
This idea FTW!
Promote synergy. LIKE A BAWSS!

Allicorn said...

Dear Hasbro, cut stupid Apple out of the loop, just sell the files straight from your existing website shopping cart. What's the big deal? You could have global digital distribution set up in an afternoon!

Zamoonda said...

@Finghost

So? How do you know if it's legit?

To take down any video on Youtube by company requires you to have your @ domain be the same as your company. All the youtube streams on Pony Archive got taken down by "Hasbro, Inc.."

A few months ago, dozens of pony videos were taken down by "HASBRO, INC.."

It's not like Hasbro left their capslock open. Those are two different people. One of them were trolls.

Thus the other can be a troll too. Don't trust an @hasbro domain.

Sgt Byrd said...

UK brony here and even if they sold it in the UK via iTunes, I wouldn't install iTunes to buy it. I would definitely buy it from Hasbro direct in the unlikely event they set up their own UK online store (or a worldwide store).

Seeing as it's a TV show, I'd be quite happy to WATCH IT ON BLOODY TV. But TV channels here don't want to show them until they are months old. So if I wait for a UK TV showing I'll basically have to avoid the entire internet because of spoilers.

Annie the Eagle said...

You can get them legally in the UK. Just get Sky+, and watch channel 603 (Boomerang), granted some of the episodes are just repeated OVER AND OVER.
I'll stick to my YouTube converter, at least I get it in 1080p which I can watch on my ASUS Transformer or Galaxy Nexus :D.

AddictedArtist said...

TO ALL UK BRONIES:

You can access the US iTunes store. At the bottom of the iTunes store page, there's an option to Change Country in the Manage column. Just change it to the US and voila! Then, when you're done, you can just change it back! Simples!

Annie the Eagle said...

@AddictedArtist

Just a warning, I think there's a limit on how many times you can do that. Just like on a Mac you can only change the DVD Region of the Drive 5 times, or only have 5 computers authorized.

Not sure though.

suika2344 said...

@Annie the Eagle

YOUTUBE....you doing it wrong

Finghost said...

@ZamoondaIt's better to be safe than sorry. Fake or not, there is a point in actually supporting the show instead of just pirating. (Also, that message they sent looked WAY too offical to be troll made. Trolls don't have enough attentionspan to do something like that.)

Zamoonda said...

@Finghost
>Trolls don't have enough attention span to do something like that

Clearly you have never met a real troll. I've met plenty – not random idiots clopping in their mother's basement, but real, intelligent people that just hate something and would do anything for it to be completely destroyed.

If I could take down the brony pizza hutt initial videos and one by one the new ones and scare the shit out of the original uploader with a huge ass email, someone could do that to Pony Archive.

V-Pony said...

@StrangeNoise

If I was to leave my e-mail address with you would you be so kind as to link me up with the seller you got your gift card from and a kinda how-to guide on how you set up the account?

Fusion2k said...

anyone else getting missing plugin on Bronystate using Chrome?

What the hell happened to Midnight Run!? It was the only stream without any kind of lag!

getoman10 said...

About 2 hours til the animals arrive.
Excitment everywhere

Phoenix Quill said...

Im ready for this... One hour and forty five minutes to show time.
MY BODY IS READY!



is this how time normally works?
really... slowly...

FlutterShy1989 said...

Midnight Run was shutdown because of some trolls that reported him.

EphemeralBlue said...

You can actually watch the show in the UK on Boomerang. Need a Sky subscription to get the channel though. Dunno about the rest of Europe mind you.

IkkouSoryu said...

"thoerycraft"

HURR DURR Derpy post

Grammar Nazi never sleep.

That is all.

Bio-spy09 said...

Y U NO LET ME WATCH THE NEW EPISODE NOW :(?How's everypony doing? :P

StrangeNoise said...

@AddictedArtist

I don't know about there being a limit, but this isn't sufficient as you'll find when you come to actually try to buy something. :-)

StrangeNoise said...

@EphemeralBlue

Yes, £20 per month for the minimum contract that includes Boomerang; in order to watch *old* episodes in SD, in NTSC conversion, with adverts.

It's not a value proposition. If they actually showed new eps at the same time/day as the Hub, well, that would be a dilemma. If on a channel with HD, less so.

Hydra said...

Not long now hehehe!

Dyrilby said...

Caffeine mode: ACTIVATE!

Justin said...

I'm ready for THE BEST HISTORY LESSON EVER!

StrangeNoise said...

@Yappy

To create the account in iTunes

Sign out.

Switch to US store (flag button at bottom)

Go to the iphone app store, pick a free app, any app, and select to download it.

You'll now be prompted to sign in or create an account.

Create one. You probably need a different email address than the one you use for your non-US AppleID. It needs to be real though, so you can received and respond to the validation mail later. I used my old @gmail.com one.

When it comes to enter the credit card, select None. You still need to enter an address; make one up that's plausibly US looking. I made up a fake one that's in the same street and zipcode as Hasbro's head office. But I don't think anyone's really paying attention to find the sarcasm.

Once you've received and replied to the validation mail, you have your account.

Now you need gift cards. I got mine from www.zhljerry.com.

NB: It doesn't say so on the site, but when you first do this you'll get a mail that points you to a page which tells you how to contact the guy - basically to verify you're a real person. It was at this stage, especially as there was no response for hours, that I thought I'd fallen to a scammer, but then he came online at what I figured was 17:30 EST and it all got sorted out. Generally, the site suggests it's more automated than it is; I think he probably gets them done when he gets in from work.

Then you get a mail with a link to a scanned image of a gift card with the voucher code visible.

Go back to iTunes Home, signed in on the US iTunes, and click on Redeem. Type in the voucher code(s). Now you have the credit to buy stuff.

After that there's just the enjoyment of authorising devices and sorting out home sharing so you can watch them. Not sure why (haven't tried too hard) but the only way I got them to play on my iPhone, for instance, was to actually sync them to it; they wouldn't play from the itunes share over home sharing. I don't know what issues may arise with trying to use an AppleTV for this *and* for locally-bought content. (I may get one soon to try though).

DSludge said...

Let's just say that if it wasn't for the MLP:FiM episodes I could check out for free after having my interest piqued by the internet memes, I wouldn't have spent the equivalent of $80 on Pony gifts for my buddy's kid this year.
Take that into your business models and compute it, Hasbro!

Kinrah said...

@EphemeralBlue But Boomerang never show the second half of the first season. They've been broadcasting it nearly every weekday since July, and they've only ever played as far as Fall Weather Friends.

Alexander Gan Zhong Ping said...

Should they indeed release MLP:FiM legally in all other countries, then I would be more than ecstatic to see Ponyarchive close down.

Mint Chip said...

Of course the first day that work has the 7am opening time, and it's a pony day... just my luck.

FlutterShy1989 said...

http://www.livestream.com/poniestonight This stream is just as good as Midnight Run's was

Tyranoman said...

I'm off the to the bronystate Fluttershy room, see you all there!

Dataanti said...

PONY ARCHIVE PLOX!!!

Quackers said...

Maybe you can get me Boomerang on my Foxtel so I can watch the episodes legally in Australia.

jk.

I bought the brushable ponies of the mane six, good enough.

Teiru said...

@Latias4Ever You need to keep up with MR on our Facebook page. Simply put, livestream did a crack down and killed us and a few others and for me to get the page back they wanted everyone involves personal information and a lot of my information. So i'm right now building on Justin.tv and we'll but up next week

Vinny said...

Woo! This is my first livestream since bronydom, I can't wait!

ElectricZoNe said...

I can't wait to see this episode :D and I dont have to work now which is even better.

Samuel7897 said...

Oh my gosh, I'm hoping for a song!!!

Feros said...

With Equestria's story being revealed, mind will be blown. This episode could be the best one since Return of Harmony. 10 minutes left! =D

ElectricZoNe said...

Theres no way theres not a song in this episode.

D. Shadows said...

Oh look, an incoming episode...

DUCK AND COVERRRR! (Cover is said in a british voice)

Nightweaver20xx said...

Hey all, just wanted to say that this will be my first time watching an ep as it premieres, and being here with you all to do it is at least 20% cooler. 5 minutes! :3

Crosswing said...

Feral Song said...

Captian64 said...

OK Octavia, you vs me again :3

AWsquared said...

Poor Scootaloo got her tongue stuck!

Δ-zεrɸ said...

It would've been better if the opening was christmas theme too.

reejis99 said...

Some hat Rarity lol

Kairiki said...

Fluttershy cheering is the best ever.

Octavia said...

@Captian64

lol It's not a contest. :P

Jimperator said...

Is Canterlot just the part that sticks out from the cliff face visibly or is that just the Palace, and the city proper is built into the mountain vale? I wonder...

Crosswing said...

Oh no Scootaloo! I'll help you!

SunsetSprinkles said...

Derpy is officialy a character they hide in the bg of every episode.

Winter Vision said...

@palaminopegasus
I'm pretty sure we'll see at least one song this episode. I mean, it IS a holiday episode afterall

Captian64 said...

@Octavia

Sure it's not :3 Just kidding.

Nova25 said...

Apparently Canterlot has a train station at the base of its mountain.

Δ-zεrɸ said...

DAT DERPY! Waving at the crowd!

D. Shadows said...

Derpy hooves already. Go muffin queen!

Octavia said...

Rainbow Dash is cheering for herself. lol

Crosswing said...

When will Rarity realize that it's impossible for fluttershy to be any more adorable

Tokyo Oranges said...

I'm so excited i feel like shouting... woo-hoo~
I <3 you fluttershy

Captian64 said...

RD hasn't learn her lesson from May Best Pet Win yet lol.

Nightweaver20xx said...

It's death in Equestria time!

Captian64 said...

THE MAGIC! IT IS NOT WORKING!

Octavia said...

lol Pinkie's introduction horns.

Octavia said...

Lawl Upside down crown.

Captian64 said...

Lmao, Rarity, u sure your wearing that right?

Jimperator said...

Ok... This is awesome. I love history and world-building.

Nightweaver20xx said...

Um, your majesty, your crown's on upside down.

Lazuli said...

Crown upside down? Rarity how could you!

SunsetSprinkles said...

I have a feeling the mane 6 are actually going to fight.

palaminopegasus said...

Wonder How they defeat those Horse Blizzards?

D. Shadows said...

Surprisingly enough I can see where this is going already and I've only seen the first part of it.

Crosswing said...

My baby sister: "Taytay, why is Pinkie pie being so mean?"

mrjoshmacintosh said...

Just gonna say it now;

Pinkie Pie with a cup of pudding on her head.

That is all.

cornllama said...

CONFOUND THOSE PEGASISISISISISISIS

getoman10 said...

This is AWESOME.
But In dark times wasn't Discord there? I'm calling a Discord Origin

palaminopegasus said...

Pinke's hat looks like feces

lesserpoet said...

FIRST..no I'm FIRST!! lol

Quackers said...

Depry!

I was kinda happy when I saw her waving on the stage.

Nova25 said...

@palaminopegasus
-_- ...It's clearly pudding.

reejis99 said...

Ancient pony war (sort of)? Oh man the fanon just got enriched!

Joey the Joey said...

What. The. Balls. Were those ghost pony things, yo?

Jimperator said...

Unicorns also controlled the sun and moon's cycles... During that whole Princess Cadence thing I called the idea that Ponykind created Alicorns to rule them. I still stick by that being canon.

Nova25 said...

@Joey the Joey
I say... They are the souls/spirits of the Alicorns, observing the mortals.

Boomtown87 said...

Classism in equestria is now canon

Flutterspy said...

They're good actresses! We need a Carol commercial with just the ponies!

Tokyo Oranges said...

D'awwed at soldier fluttershy

Josh Spicer said...

A blizzard that can't be stopped by magic?

How...chaotic...

AWsquared said...

Fluttershy makes a cute soldier.

Captian64 said...

Pegasi and pegasus = sparta?

mrjoshmacintosh said...

Good ol' fashioned pony racism.

AWsquared said...

Think inside the chimney!

Lazuli said...

Pinkie random as ever...

Octavia said...

Can yoooooou think inside a chimney? I didn't think so. Lmao, Pinkie.

Captian64 said...

Pinkie: I CAN THINK IN A CHIMNEY, YOUR POINT IS INVALID!

Flutterspy said...

And the 4th wall is BROKEN

Tokyo Oranges said...

8D Pinkie is absolutely hamming it up in this episode... AND IT'S AWESOME!!!

Jimperator said...

Unicorns = Spartans. Hell yeah

Octavia said...

Fluttershy is so dang adorable. <3

Trishula said...

Did she say Private Pansy?

Josh Spicer said...

Ten bucks says this is the actual original ponies' personalities.

Octavia said...

Ponies riding ponies. We need to go deeper...

D. Shadows said...

Ponies riding ponies... inception bound.

Captian64 said...

Twillight's face expression: Is she serious?

AWsquared said...

I bet you Spike was tempted to eat those gems in the tree

Nightweaver20xx said...

Makes perfect sense, Chancellor Pinkie! XD

Captian64 said...

Pinkie, your reading the map wrong.

aki1993 said...

love pinkie's map!!
