Nightly Roundup #1225 - Train Edition

Train edition because of the number 1225! I've always been a huge fan of trains and locomotives and one of our local famous steam engines just happens to be labeled the 1225 (the same train used as a model for the Polar Express movie).

Evening guys! You all ready for some news?

Shatner to Possibly Guest Star on Pony?

The world of pony just keeps getting more and more interesting as this exchange between Big Jim and William Shatner himself popped up today.

Considering that years ago we believed it to be a pipe dream to have Weird Al on MLP only to have ourselves proven wrong with the appearance of Cheese Sandwich, this sort of thing doesn't seem all that far-fetched.

If Shatner did get a guest role on the show I wonder what sort of character he would play. Any theories you guys? I can totally see him as a traveling pony thespian for instance.

Thanks to all the people who sent this one in!

Dooble Dabble - MLP Analysis Runing or Saving Pony!

Two videos, two ideas. Pony analysis has been a hot button issue for a while now in the fandom. Some of them take episodes far too seriously, while others have some really good points about what could or could not have been improved in some of the weaker ones. Some hate it, a lot love it, but it's here to stay!

Join our favorite sketchbook reviewer Dooble Dabble as she delves into the world of MLP Analysis below!

For all of you out there collecting the dolls, we have a Flash Sentry appearing as a K-Mart Exclusive now visible in the box. Apparently this guy has started invading online according to the submitter Pensive. This probably means random K-Mart stores also have him, so get that phone out and start calling!

MLP: Friends Forever #19 Released Today! - Download Links, Variants, Discussion!

"I can feel all those diamonds singing to me. And it's a right pretty song, too!"—Scrooge McDuck

Rarity has always been a very driven mare when it comes to her business, vision of the future, and her destiny. The show has shown that time and time again that when Rarity puts her mind to something, there is absolutely nothing that is going to stop her form achieving that goal. It is what has made her a very successful businessmare, artist, socialite, and fashionista.

She is quite simply the type of pony every pony should know.

However, that level of passion and drive isn't something that's been showcased by the Cakes. So I have to wonder what Cup Cake and Carrot Cake have in mind for their business, what their goals are, and most importantly of all whether or not their goals are compatible with Rarity's.

The answers to those questions can be found in the usual below. Have fun everyone!
