"You mustn't interfere with the past. Don't do anything that affects anything. Unless it turns out that you were supposed to do it; in which case, for the love of God, don't not do it! "
Hah! Okay, okay, I'm gonna call it now. She's going to go through a bunch of embarrassing minor accidents that make her look like she's in worse shape than she really is, and she's only trying to warn herself to not bother overreacting and getting the time-travel spell. That's what I bet, anyway.
Hello fellow bronies, I'm visiting from next Tuesday as well. I only have a few seconds but can confirm that Saturday's episode was as awesome as you thought it would be, and that the result of the epic pony war was that.... *vanishes*
I wonder more WHAT THE HELL cut Twilight´s face????!!!! I mean, if this episodes covers up that incident, it means we gonna see a Pony BLEED in MLP:FiM! For the first time! BLOOD FOR THE BLOODGOD! In a little girl show. Okay, i doubt we gonna see a drop of blood, just joking.^g^
>Also Twilight Sparkle confirmed for most adorkable pony ever
How many times have we confirmed this fact by now? I thought even Wikipedia has that written all over it. XDDD
Wouldn't it be awesome if Doctor Whooves showed up in this episode while walking out of a small blue shed? Who thinks THAT'S gonna happen, show of hooves?
On one hoof, scars and war are now canon(+1 to fanfiction) on the other hoof time travel is canon... I still hope that Trixie or someone else is trolling Twilight, but I doubt it, we'll see soon enough.
Pony wars are now canon, and another reference to Starswirl. I was thinking she was going to get a note from the future, not her actual future self. This is going to be a very interesting episode.
I'm going to laugh if she does what she wasn't supposed to do because she is freaking out about the warning.
Blade Runner-esque music? Made my day. I can't explain how much I love this. Just how much. It's so much. I am hoping to God that obscure sci-fi references abound, or at least none that are blatant. Terminator was obvious, but not blatant. Escape from New York was hilarious.
Just more. 3 awesome references in 1 minute! I love this show.
@Path Finder Well she'd have to make those transitions to not go insane because otherwise she'd have to deal with the idea that somepony just crawled through a hole in the timeline.
So, Twilight doesn't shut her pie-hole long enough to hear a warning from her future self.
To quote a very cocky video game villain, "Nice job breaking it hero."
Also, to those saying, "War in the future" future Twilight says she's from next Tuesday. I expect it to be something silly, this is the pony that freaked about being, "Tardy" we're talking about.
Metal Gear Solid and Terminator references in one single MINUTE; nay, one single FRAME. My Little Pony is officialy the greatest TV show ever conceived.
Why must my laptop be away getting repaired!? I mean, sure, I can usually get my daily dose of ponies when no one else is in the computer lab, but still. Curse you, Win7 defragger, you just had to crash and kill my hard drive. CURSE YOOOUUUU!!
Well, now the episode is pretty obvious. Twilight has to overcome a series of perils to gain access to the Archive room, ends up looking like her future self (either in an attempt to go to the room or from a mishap with time travel), travels back in time to the current scene, and the scene repeats itself.
I for one am glad, because I prefer it when time is immutable. I am very eager to find out how the episode ends.
Cutoff line probably had something to do with don't:
- use the time travel spell, go to the archives, etc.
I love when Twilight from the future sticks her hoof into Twilight's mouth. All I can imagine her saying is, "Put a cork in it!"
Also, inafter this and that are now cannon. People, their universe is, in many ways, a mirror image of ours. With, y'know, ponies in place of humans obviously. Unless something is specifically stated to not exist in it, it does by default. Eye patches, wars, etc were never said not to exist. They simply haven't been mentioned or really shown until now. "Just because you haven't seen it. Doesn't mean it doesn't exist."
Apart from all that, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this is possibly going to be a new favorite episode for many in this community. It's going to be a little bit edgier of course. So prepare yourselves!
My headcanon: FutureTwi just dressed herself up for that badflankery. the scar is makeup, the eyepatch is aesthetic, and all the tears and the mussed up mane is from the time travel.
I'm going to bet that it's not actually something that serious, and twilight is just blowing it out of proportions and is too lazy to find a solution through conventional means. The appearance will be because of minor events. Also looking like the best episode ever.
Aww, guys, what if Fallout: Equestria *isn't* canon? What if this scene is just a fakeout? What if Twilight's alarming appearance is just a result of her freaking out, as it most likely will be? No pony war? No apocalypse? No violent brutal grisly pony deaths? How disappointing! Man, this show sucks.
Epic. Epic everywhere. Cannot freakin' wait for this. The only way this ep could be more epic is if we get a Doctor Whooves reference. If that happens, I think we might all just explode. Twice.
Okay, now that I've caught my breath (and scared the shit out of the other people in my dorm)...
She appears in a ball of fucking lightning JUST LIKE THE MOTHERFUCKING TERMINATOR AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
And celestiadamnit, there I go again. I knew as soon as I read the plot synopsis that this would be my favorite single episode (finale will be a two-parter) of the whole season. Knew it.
Im someone that does like a good "Time Travel" episode..but i swear if they decide to go all "Terminator" on this and not like Back to the future or hell even a reference to Doc whooves i personally am going to be very disapointed.
I was a bewildered by Twilight's use of the word "science" since it doesn't really make that much sense in the context of her universe, other than to signify "she's the studious type", which I think it's pretty lame and not a lot of thought was put intoit. :/
I'd like to have faith in the writers and hope they won't do the self-fufilling prophecy angle that some of you are predicting.
I mean I understand the show is for more non-discriminating viewers (kids) and I usually don't let some inconsistencies or plot holes bother me, I just care about the episode being entertaining, but if it's as big a plot hole as I'm imagining (if they do the self-fufilling prophecy thing) I will be dissapointed.
How will that be a 'plot hole'? We're talking about time travel, technically the only possible outcome is an endless loop that constantly repeats itself, breaking it will create a paradox.
Changing the future, however, causes a truckload of plot holes due to the alternate timelines it creates. Id much rather have Twilight causing trouble, then use the time travel spell to prevent herself to cause said trouble, ending back in her timeline and realizing nothing changed, because the opposite is known to spawn controversy.
Honestly I think this will be some fake out for an event that's not really that big of a deal but I just loved how giddy Twilight seemed at the thought of an "Epic Pony War" and that they even used the term "epic pony war".
@Cedric Bale Your quote made me remember that song... That horrid song made by the spoiled little rich brat whose mother paid her way into the recording studio. And then all the Justin Beiber-loving slut-whore teens all thought it was brilliant because they're a bunch of vapid STD-carriers with fewer brains than someone shot in the head point blank by an aircraft carrier cannon. You... made... me... remember... >:C
You must be punished in the most severe way imaginable: NO PONY FOR YOU!! FOREVEERRRRRRR!!!
It's a plot hole because the writers are giving Twilight below-average intelligence.
She would have to be dumb not to realize that the solution is to not time travel period or if she's somehow forced into it the solution then is to not say anything to her past self.
If the writers went in that direction then it would be a cop-out.
Now there are a bunch of possibilities, maybe they just play it straight and there actually is a problem (independent of the time travel), or maybe there's some logical reason Twilight would choose to ignore the fact that warning herself sets the whole thing in motion. I dunno, I just hope it's not the old self-fufilling prophecy storyline done straight up because that would make no sense.
I don't care about the logic or rules of time travel, it's fiction they can use tie travel in how they see fit. My objection is about intentionally dumbing down the character down to make the storyline work.
Again: IF they do it as how I'm thinking they're going to do it. I'm sure someone's going to misunderstand and accuse me of bashing the episode before it's even aired, I'm not.
@benzoe590 Twilight goes to sleep that night, reassuring herself, "Oh I'm just being silly. How bad could it be?"
When she awakens the next morning, Princess Celestia has been assimilated by the Borg, ponies are being Cyber-converted, Darlocks are EXTERMINATING everypony left and right, Loki has teamed up with Discord and both are merrily initiating Ragnarok, and Justin Beiber has just been elected President.
Derpy flies over to Twilight, "I just don't know what went wrong!"
I predict a Stable Time Loop. As in, not only making her past self panic caused whatever the hell made wear an eyepatch, but she also told herself how to go back in time. Nice Job Breaking Yourself, Twilight From Next Tuesday.
Of course, we're all speculating right now. I wouldn't be surprised if Future Twilight's scar was actually a red herring to make people think there's no way Twilight would go on in the series with a permanent scar, meaning the loop won't happen.
At any rate, I'd love to see your expectations come true, for the future to be changed because honestly, there's going to be controversy no matter what happens, so who cares about the rules of time travel? It's already a great thing that we can't figure out what will happen exactly, unpredictability!
As for the dumbing down thing, my guess is that even if a character would try and change his approach once they became the 'timeline invader', changing anything would make outside forces act, such as a 'Time-Warden' making an intervention and forcing events to unfold in the regular loop-pattern, but that's just me.
@Smashmatt202 Why wouldn't it make sense? Don't forget that magic itself is a science in Equestria. Remember what Twilight said in Feeling Pinkie Keen? Just because their universe works differently doesn't mean they don't study it scientifically.
That's the Terminator reference you picked up on? Not the fact that the time travel spell had the same effects as the time machine from the movie, or that Future!Twi's pose immediately after is the same?
Actually, Season 2 is geared more toward the older fanbase, hense the darker tone at some points (Season 3 will then be even moreso, maybe?). They even have "bronies" in the tags. :)
So Younger Twilight Sparkle just touched Older Twilight Sparkle. According to Doctor Who, that would cause a big, long-armed, flying monster to appear right next to them. (See the episode "Father's Fay")
Old Twi also tells Wittle Twi where to find information on Time Travel. Uh, oh... That's a boostrap paradox! And she presumably would have caused another one if she had successfully delivered her message!
Silly Twi... You see yourself wearing all that with scars and an eyepatch, you you wanna ask such cheerful questions with that little look on your face? Our fate is in your hooves? We're doomed.
I say Twilight just lets things take their course. I mean Twilight looks like such a badass! I love her eyepatch! LOL I love how past Twi tells future Twi that she isn't scientifically possible. I really hope they make a toy of future Twi! I can't wait until Saturday! XD
Time travel is canon, Doctor Whooves fans rejoice War is canon, Fallout: Equestria fans rejoice Interacting with one's past/future self without destroying the whole of reality, crack shippers rejoice
It's a Paradox-free Time Travel spell, with a Zero-Percent chance of doom, and that the timeline remains relatively unaltered. It's actually much safer than that Binary Time Sphere Code from Futurama: Bender's Big Score.
gnnnnnnnooooo resist.... FTS: PLEASE, JUST FTS: SHUT UP FTS: I CAN'T BELIEVE I EVER THOUGHT FUTURE ME WAS THE CRAZY ONE (I can't stop referencing Homestuck...heeeelp....)
So, no one's going to notice that this is the third mention of Starswirl the Bearded this season? Am I the only wondering if there's a reason they keep mentioning him?
My bet is that Future twilight is going to warn Present Twilight to not do anything differently. That's the only logical way to prevent a time contradiction.
Sees Future self (begin loop) > Wonders what she was going to say > crazy adventure > fines out it's something trivial. eye patch, torn clothes and cut on face are from benign events > goes back in time > tells past Twilight not to do anything differently (close loop) > current time path has been conserved.
Epic Clip is Epic i definatly wanna see this episode NOW!!!!
By Celestia's Horn, our usless local library dosent have a Starswirl the Bearded section, my good eyepatch is in the wash and im fresh out of Epigram's ¬_¬ guess I have to wait till Saturday... Nutz

I am amazed on so many levels. This Friday 's gonna be LONG.
ReplyDeleteI now hate the actual friday as much as the song about it.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so bad ass.
ReplyDeleteWTB Time travel so I don't have to wait 2 more days for this episode.
ReplyDeleteQueue Solid Twilight fanart!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be awesome.. no doubt about it.
ReplyDeleteHah! Okay, okay, I'm gonna call it now. She's going to go through a bunch of embarrassing minor accidents that make her look like she's in worse shape than she really is, and she's only trying to warn herself to not bother overreacting and getting the time-travel spell.

ReplyDelete@Beta-Carotene
ReplyDeleteI know. Isn't it great? And I love does transision from nerdy denial, into dorky arrogance and then into happy geekness.
"You are scientifically impossible"
"How did you... I mean I figured it out"
"Is time travel fun?"
And what is "Twilight grew a Pinkie Pie" supposed to mean? I watched through the clip three times just looking for something Pinkie Pie related...
ReplyDeleteDat cliffhanger.
ReplyDelete...

ReplyDelete"Lastly, people, CANNON is a weapon,"
The kind of weapon you'd use in an epic pony war!
so super adorkable X3
ReplyDeleteI hope they use some Terminator references in this episode!
ReplyDeletein the grim darkness of next tuesday, there is only war
ReplyDelete@Cedric Bale Probably referring to multiple Pinkies onscreen at once, especially in "A Friend In Deed".
ReplyDeleteSave the cheerleader...
ReplyDeleteWowza, that looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteOMG this looks so AWESOME. Seriously can't wait for this episode!
ReplyDeleteFuture Twi (or should I say next Tuesday from now Twi) looked snazzy.
WOOOHOOOO!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking that this scene is the teaser. At least I hope it is, as that would mean twenty minutes of Twilight losing her mind again.
ReplyDeleteonly pinkie pie can do such damage...
ReplyDeleteFutureTwilight: "Whatever you do, DON'T BREAK THE PINKIE PROMISE...
I don't know if my body is ready!
ReplyDeleteWhat if my body isn't ready!?
Damn, this looks interesting. Should be a good one.
ReplyDeleteMetal Gear Twilight? I'm so watching this!
ReplyDeleteI can already tell, this is gonna be one of my new favorite episodes. Seeing her talk to another version of herself was just too entertaining
ReplyDeleteI feel like the pony time travel in my fanfic has received further justification somehow :p
ReplyDeleteWay to screw that one up, Twi.
ReplyDeleteThe people screaming this confirms/canonizes/nods to FO:E.
ReplyDeleteAll of my facehoof. All of it...
Wouldn't it be awesome if Doctor Whooves showed up in this episode while walking out of a small blue shed? Who thinks THAT'S gonna happen, show of hooves?
ReplyDeleteOn one hoof, scars and war are now canon(+1 to fanfiction) on the other hoof time travel is canon... I still hope that Trixie or someone else is trolling Twilight, but I doubt it, we'll see soon enough.
ReplyDeleteWANT. WANT. WANT. WANT. WANT. WANT. WANT!
ReplyDeletePony wars are now canon, and another reference to Starswirl. I was thinking she was going to get a note from the future, not her actual future self. This is going to be a very interesting episode.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to laugh if she does what she wasn't supposed to do because she is freaking out about the warning.
FREAKING. HECK. HAVE YES. ALL THE YES. ALL OF IT. TAKE IT PLEASE.
ReplyDeleteME GUSTA
ReplyDeleteBlade Runner-esque music? Made my day. I can't explain how much I love this. Just how much. It's so much. I am hoping to God that obscure sci-fi references abound, or at least none that are blatant. Terminator was obvious, but not blatant. Escape from New York was hilarious.

So epic! I flipped out! YESYESYES!!!
ReplyDeleteIf they have a Dr. Who reference this will be SO awesome!!!
Inb4 it's future Twilight freaking out about something much more mundane than a giant pony war. XD
Terrible I won't get to see the episode till Sunday :(
Epic Pony War...MAKE IT HAPPEN!
ReplyDeleteSo Twilight is the female pony version Snake Plissken from Escape from New York?

SHIT JUST GOT REAL!
ReplyDeleteBeing as how Future Twilight would know that Present Twilight would be all interrupt-y, why didn't she stick her hoof in her mouth sooner?
ReplyDeletewow you guys are late, I seen this because my friend tell me and I went here to check and fould nothing. Now you put it?
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOD GRIMDARK PONY WARS ARE NOW CANON
ReplyDeleteForget Fallout, This has Metal Gear written all over it.
ReplyDeleteWhy must my laptop be away getting repaired!? I mean, sure, I can usually get my daily dose of ponies when no one else is in the computer lab, but still. Curse you, Win7 defragger, you just had to crash and kill my hard drive. CURSE YOOOUUUU!!
ReplyDeleteI'm still betting it's Princess Trollestia.
ReplyDeleteBecause the space time continuum would have crash because Twilight made contact with her future self.
Well, now the episode is pretty obvious.

ReplyDeletelol
ReplyDelete"im from next tuesday morning"
LOL
this is why twilight is worst pony. she wont even shut up for herself
ReplyDeleteMy headcanon: FutureTwi just dressed herself up for that badflankery. the scar is makeup, the eyepatch is aesthetic, and all the tears and the mussed up mane is from the time travel.
ReplyDeleteFallout Eqestria is now cannon in another dimension.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to bet that it's not actually something that serious, and twilight is just blowing it out of proportions and is too lazy to find a solution through conventional means. The appearance will be because of minor events. Also looking like the best episode ever.
ReplyDeleteThe arrival... "War in the future"...
ReplyDeleteThat is a Terminator 2 reference if I ever saw one. AWESOME.
Oh my god, cant wait for this episode. IT PREMIERS ON MY BIRTHDAY!! As Twilight would say' YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!
ReplyDeleteYou are not scientifically possible. :)
ReplyDelete@pjabrony Because then Present Twilight would never have been all interrupty and Future Twilight wouldn't have known it to begin with.
ReplyDeleteAren't time paradoxes fun? There will soon be diagrams of this episode's timeline, with all the loops and branchings you can dream of.
it looks promissing
ReplyDeleteAww, guys, what if Fallout: Equestria *isn't* canon? What if this scene is just a fakeout? What if Twilight's alarming appearance is just a result of her freaking out, as it most likely will be? No pony war? No apocalypse? No violent brutal grisly pony deaths? How disappointing! Man, this show sucks.
ReplyDelete(Seriously, get a grip, people.) :}
@Arcane ScrollThere was a little foal,
ReplyDeleteNot to different from you or me.
inb4 future twi is actually Trixie
ReplyDeleteNoooo we have to wait till Friday to find out what she must not do!
ReplyDeleteAny of you Skyrim bronies have this come to mind as Twilight was interrogating her future self?
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmsINunKlSM
(Skip to 0:55)
@Deibron
ReplyDeleteNot only that, but Twilight's warning was "Don't let Rarity drag you into another one of her weird costume ideas!"
Epic. Epic everywhere. Cannot freakin' wait for this. The only way this ep could be more epic is if we get a Doctor Whooves reference. If that happens, I think we might all just explode. Twice.
ReplyDeleteINB4 it's a costume party

I can't believe this... this is like... sci fi and ponies... oh my god... i can't even... HOLY CRAP!
ReplyDeleteTwilight Sparkle needs your clothes, your gun and your motorcycle.
ReplyDeleteOk... that wasn't the time travel reference I was expecting... but I can totally dig it.
Im someone that does like a good "Time Travel" episode..but i swear if they decide to go all "Terminator" on this and not like Back to the future or hell even a reference to Doc whooves i personally am going to be very disapointed.
ReplyDeleteWell, there goes the thory of it being a prank done by Pinkie and/or Rainbow Dash. Unless Rarity or Luna is involved as well.
ReplyDeleteI was a bewildered by Twilight's use of the word "science" since it doesn't really make that much sense in the context of her universe, other than to signify "she's the studious type", which I think it's pretty lame and not a lot of thought was put intoit. :/

ReplyDeleteScrew it. HTML link's broken.
Wait a second... from next Tuesday...
ReplyDeleteTwilight was panicking over her letters not being on time... on a Tuesday...
...Princess Celestia has had enough of no letter every week! 0.0
So epic!
ReplyDeleteAnd I said, HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA Whats going on?
ReplyDeleteWhatever you do, Don't ---
ReplyDeleteYeah. How many times have I heard this one before.
Fortunately, space-time didn't explode, so Cave Johnson and his lab boys were wrong.
Guys, PLEASE remember that this ep was written and in the can likely WAAAAY before FoE was the massive behemoth of a fic it is now.
ReplyDeleteI really, really doubt that it ever had any impact on this episode at all. Let's try not to get over the top here!
Don't volunteer to play the villain in the ponyville theater production!
ReplyDeleteShe must have been about to say something like that.
I'm about to explode.Cause that was the most awesome thing I have ever seen.
ReplyDeleteTwilight's voice sounds a bit off... it may be Tara hasn't had very many lines since Lesson Zero? Forgot the Twilight voice mebbe?
ReplyDeleteMy God, this better have the Doctor in it....
ReplyDeleteBtw, SNAKE... SNAKE... SNAAAAAAAAKE!
This blew my mind.
ReplyDeleteI already was starting to get high expectations for this episode now I have no idea how it will actually live up to them.
@Y0SH1 M4S73R Dood, I could guess it... "DOCTOR TIEM? NAO RIGHT?!" That would probably be mine... :3

ReplyDeletePonygear Solid made canon? Awesome!
ReplyDeleteFavorite line so far:

That's right, a "little girl's" cartoon just said "war". :O woaaaaaahhh.
ReplyDeleteGood job twilight you just lost all hope for stopping what ever happens ALSO
ReplyDeleteFuck yea Fallout Equestria is now CANNON
was hoping that future twilight came more from like 20 - 30 years in the future (fully matured)
ReplyDeleteand not next Thursday morning
How this somehow relates to a moral for children is beyond me...
ReplyDeleteQue the mass amount of fanfictions about time traveling Twilight in about 2 days.
ReplyDelete@Cedric Bale Your quote made me remember that song... That horrid song made by the spoiled little rich brat whose mother paid her way into the recording studio. And then all the Justin Beiber-loving slut-whore teens all thought it was brilliant because they're a bunch of vapid STD-carriers with fewer brains than someone shot in the head point blank by an aircraft carrier cannon. You... made... me... remember... >:C
ReplyDeleteYou must be punished in the most severe way imaginable: NO PONY FOR YOU!! FOREVEERRRRRRR!!!
Because future Twilight is from next Tuesday, a great opportunity to drop in a "c u next Tuesday" somewhere in the dialogue exists...
ReplyDelete@James Rye *drinks Twilight's blood from da cut on her face!* Unicorn blood can make you powerful! Like in Harry Potter!
ReplyDelete*ends up with a cursed life* Oh great, now I'm stuck in New Jersey. >:/
@Sothalic
ReplyDeleteIt's a plot hole because the writers are giving Twilight below-average intelligence.
She would have to be dumb not to realize that the solution is to not time travel period or if she's somehow forced into it the solution then is to not say anything to her past self.
If the writers went in that direction then it would be a cop-out.
Now there are a bunch of possibilities, maybe they just play it straight and there actually is a problem (independent of the time travel), or maybe there's some logical reason Twilight would choose to ignore the fact that warning herself sets the whole thing in motion. I dunno, I just hope it's not the old self-fufilling prophecy storyline done straight up because that would make no sense.
I don't care about the logic or rules of time travel, it's fiction they can use tie travel in how they see fit. My objection is about intentionally dumbing down the character down to make the storyline work.
Again: IF they do it as how I'm thinking they're going to do it. I'm sure someone's going to misunderstand and accuse me of bashing the episode before it's even aired, I'm not.
@Graves
ReplyDeleteI hear ya.
I had no idea one fanfic invented the concept of war.
Annnnd then Twilight broke the universe with time travel. Doctor Whoof will be SO miffed.
ReplyDelete@benzoe590 Twilight goes to sleep that night, reassuring herself, "Oh I'm just being silly. How bad could it be?"
ReplyDeleteWhen she awakens the next morning, Princess Celestia has been assimilated by the Borg, ponies are being Cyber-converted, Darlocks are EXTERMINATING everypony left and right, Loki has teamed up with Discord and both are merrily initiating Ragnarok, and Justin Beiber has just been elected President.
Derpy flies over to Twilight, "I just don't know what went wrong!"
"Whatever you do- DONT-"
ReplyDeleteGo back in time and tell yourself not to go back in time!....CRAP!
Nice going, present Twilight...
ReplyDeleteI predict a Stable Time Loop. As in, not only making her past self panic caused whatever the hell made wear an eyepatch, but she also told herself how to go back in time. Nice Job Breaking Yourself, Twilight From Next Tuesday.
ReplyDelete@Flutterfan
ReplyDeleteOf course, we're all speculating right now. I wouldn't be surprised if Future Twilight's scar was actually a red herring to make people think there's no way Twilight would go on in the series with a permanent scar, meaning the loop won't happen.
At any rate, I'd love to see your expectations come true, for the future to be changed because honestly, there's going to be controversy no matter what happens, so who cares about the rules of time travel? It's already a great thing that we can't figure out what will happen exactly, unpredictability!
As for the dumbing down thing, my guess is that even if a character would try and change his approach once they became the 'timeline invader', changing anything would make outside forces act, such as a 'Time-Warden' making an intervention and forcing events to unfold in the regular loop-pattern, but that's just me.
I couldn't be more excited for the episode!
@AtomicmonkeyI find it a little funny how Twilight Sparkle seemed very excited about the prospects of an Equestria-wide war.
ReplyDeleteThis will disappoint all of you EXTREMELY-EASY-TO-HYPE fans.
ReplyDeleteYou have all clearly forgotten the original targeted audience.
So much potential, 20~ minutes to do it in, little girls to entertain.
Don't be surprised when it disappoints.
There are no good surprises.
BWAHAHAHA TWILIGHT IS HER OWN WORST ENEMY
ReplyDeletewar now official in equestria!
ReplyDeletealso: "actually i'm from next tuesday morning" LOL xD
this just made my day... night, i should go to sleep :(
That music...
ReplyDelete*squint*
DISCORD...
@Smashmatt202
ReplyDeleteWhy wouldn't it make sense? Don't forget that magic itself is a science in Equestria. Remember what Twilight said in Feeling Pinkie Keen? Just because their universe works differently doesn't mean they don't study it scientifically.
Holy shit that was unbelievable! How could they fuck things up so fast that Twilight had to go back in time? And what happened to her eye!?
ReplyDelete@COLT77
ReplyDeleteThat's the Terminator reference you picked up on? Not the fact that the time travel spell had the same effects as the time machine from the movie, or that Future!Twi's pose immediately after is the same?
I already love this episode.
@MachinimistLuke
ReplyDeleteActually, Season 2 is geared more toward the older fanbase, hense the darker tone at some points (Season 3 will then be even moreso, maybe?). They even have "bronies" in the tags. :)
Twi know how to drive her self crazy
ReplyDelete@MachinimistLuke
ReplyDeleteAnd you have clearly forgotten that despite this show's intended audience that doesn't mean the writers won't immediately go for simple plots.
@MachinimistLuke
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean no good surprise? The fact we ended up liking this show was in and of itself a good surprise to all of us!
I'm looking forward to the completely mundane series of events that results in Twilight looking like that.
ReplyDelete@Shinuto Amen to that!
ReplyDeletelooks like she pulled a Timmy Turner! XD
ReplyDeleteshe looked almost exactly like Timmy's future self lol
Friendship... Friendship has changed.
ReplyDeleteThe age of harmony has become the age of control.
Amateurs! When will they learn to leave time-travel to the professionals?
ReplyDeleteIf Doctor Whooves has any part in this AT ALL it will blow a hole in the internet the exact size of Belgium.
That bubble that transported future Twilight was a clear shout-out to the time bubble from the original Terminator movie. :)
ReplyDeleteFrom the Youtube comments: "Whatever you do, don't.. go into Fluttershy's shed!"
ReplyDeleteWhat did twilight do now!?
ReplyDeletePlease don't make a reference to the 2012 movie. Please...
ReplyDeleteDammit the cliffhanger O.O
ReplyDeletethe warning is to stay out of Fluttershy's shed
ReplyDeleteSo Younger Twilight Sparkle just touched Older Twilight Sparkle. According to Doctor Who, that would cause a big, long-armed, flying monster to appear right next to them. (See the episode "Father's Fay")
ReplyDeleteOld Twi also tells Wittle Twi where to find information on Time Travel. Uh, oh... That's a boostrap paradox! And she presumably would have caused another one if she had successfully delivered her message!
Silly Twi... You see yourself wearing all that with scars and an eyepatch, you you wanna ask such cheerful questions with that little look on your face? Our fate is in your hooves? We're doomed.
Brace yourself the twilight snake memes are coming
ReplyDelete-Bandana? Check
ReplyDelete-Tight suit? Check.
-Eyepatch? Check.
We got confirmed Solid Sparkle here.
I say Twilight just lets things take their course. I mean Twilight looks like such a badass! I love her eyepatch! LOL I love how past Twi tells future Twi that she isn't scientifically possible. I really hope they make a toy of future Twi! I can't wait until Saturday! XD
ReplyDeleteSo I'm just going to save myself some time here.
ReplyDelete*about twenty references to Homestuck*
There. Weren't they all so clever?
:33
Time travel is canon, Doctor Whooves fans rejoice
ReplyDeleteWar is canon, Fallout: Equestria fans rejoice
Interacting with one's past/future self without destroying the whole of reality, crack shippers rejoice
It's a Paradox-free Time Travel spell, with a Zero-Percent chance of doom, and that the timeline remains relatively unaltered. It's actually much safer than that Binary Time Sphere Code from Futurama: Bender's Big Score.
ReplyDeletegnnnnnnnooooo resist....
ReplyDeleteFTS: PLEASE, JUST
FTS: SHUT UP
FTS: I CAN'T BELIEVE I EVER THOUGHT FUTURE ME WAS THE CRAZY ONE
(I can't stop referencing Homestuck...heeeelp....)
all my yes
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uue6FANbYSQ MY GOD ren & stimpy reference
ReplyDeleteNOOOOO!!! What is it she can't do!! Oh my Celestia I cannot wait for this episode!
ReplyDeleteI've never been this excited, have you ever been this excited?
Damnit, God has you coming AND going!
ReplyDeleteI bet future Twilight poked her eye out while making a Pinkie promise. :D
ReplyDeleteSo, no one's going to notice that this is the third mention of Starswirl the Bearded this season? Am I the only wondering if there's a reason they keep mentioning him?
ReplyDeleteMy bet is that Future twilight is going to warn Present Twilight to not do anything differently. That's the only logical way to prevent a time contradiction.
ReplyDeleteSees Future self (begin loop) > Wonders what she was going to say > crazy adventure > fines out it's something trivial. eye patch, torn clothes and cut on face are from benign events > goes back in time > tells past Twilight not to do anything differently (close loop) > current time path has been conserved.
She must have that quick time travel device that the 11th Doctor used when he had a fez.
ReplyDeleteWas half-hoping for David Hayter to start talking. Aw well, one can dream, I guess.
ReplyDeleteCause of destroyed future:
ReplyDeletePinkie Pie completely broke through the fourth wall.
I don't know why people are saying war is canon.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that's canon is time travel and next Tuesday.
Twilight? TWILIGHT?! TWWIIIILLIIIIIGHT!!!!
ReplyDeleteContinue?
>Yes
No
ok, where's Blackjack
ReplyDeleteYyyeeeaaaaahhhhhh I agree. I am guessing it's gonna be "don't mess with time travel".
ReplyDeleteHoly Celestia! :| Me WANT! :O (Looks at calander to see it's now Thursday night)
ReplyDelete...
FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU........!!!!!!!!!!!
1:10
