I also heard that Shining Armor is going to be voiced by the same guy who voiced Braeburn (Applejack's cousin from Appalosa). Interesting.

***SPOILER POST***

So, here I am to give you the latest updates on the episode as they come!

The entire episode takes place in Canterlot, and it does seem to be reminiscent of Christmas in terms of decorations, but according to what I'm seeing with the play so far, as predicted, it has nothing to do with it.

Oh, and Rainbow Dash is Commander Hurricane!! Sounds like a great superhero name if you ask me. :)

EDIT: Pinkie is breaking the 4th wall again! (Yeah, big surprise, huh?) Also, it's official, Equestria is a part of Earth. Possibly future earth?

More to come!

EDIT 2: We have an official Equestrian Anthem now! It was near the end of the episode. So yes, there was a song. :)

I shall post that MUCH later today on Dailymotion. For now, review time!

***REVIEW POST***

So, what does the play tell us that ended up founding Equestria? Friendship! Though with a show that pretty much revolved around that, what did you expect? :P: In fact, if it wasn't for their power of friendship, the entire earth would've suffered another Ice Age due to their hatred fueling some winter spirits. So yeah, we have a bunch of ponies to thank for saving the earth! Wow!

Yeah, being a guy and all, not too sure how to feel about that one.

There's not much to say about it all. Even when she's acting, Pinkie Pie is still Pinkie Pie. Rarity let the whole royalty thing go to her head during the play. (Then again, it was probably just the character she was playing as. Yeah, I'll go with that instead.) Fluttershy got stage fright, as expected. And Commander Hurricane, could you be even more egotistic?

Not a great episode, but a good one for what it's worth. Best to go in not expecting much. You'll enjoy it more that way. :)

My next post shall be the YouTube Episode post.

See ya later! :)

Who spotted Derpy in the episode?

Gotta say her appearance this episode was easier to spot than others. And speaking of which, according to The Hub's facebook page, Derpy is now officially her canon name!

As for my thoughts on this episode, it was nice to see some backstory, even though it was honestly rather predictable. Pinkie, Rarity and Rainbow Dash were totally overplayed and a little flanderised in this episode, but the way I see it, this is because they were playing other characters who were just similar to themselves.
And while the whole story of the play was kinda cheesy, as well as much of the dialogue, once again I feel we can hoof-wave this because it was all a pageant play.
I also thought that the designs and ideas behind the Windigos was pretty cool. Not to mention they are one of the few monsters on the show that have been given a completely non-goofy appearance. Think about it, the cockatrice, the hydra, the ursa, the red dragon, Discord, they all were evil, but kinda goofy at the same time. The only truly monstrous monster in the show prior to this episode was the green dragon (Reginald, I think his name is). Those Windigos looked awesome, had a terrifying sound, and were generally a clever idea.
I also did like how they were defeated by the so-called Fire of Friendship. I was glad that there was more love-influenced magic in the show apart from just the Elements of Harmony.

My only real complaint about this episode was the song, for 2 reasons:

1. It was far too short. It was barely 30 seconds! Pinkie Pie can get away with such spontaneity, but a hugeass crowd song like this should at least have 2 verses and a chorus!

2. The singing voices: Apart from their lips moving, there was no indication that the mane 6 were actually singing. Among the choir of voices, there was no sign of their singing voices.

But for such a short song, it was really charming and a nice way to round off the episode. All in all, while the story and dialogue maynot have always been perfect, the humour made up for it, and I finished it with a warm feeling inside me. I always love holiday specials.

It also helped that I watched it with about a dozen other bronies and pegasistas.

If anyone missed her in this episode, they either...

a) completely missed that part of the episode.

b) had their eyes closed during it.

c) are completely blind.

Seriously, this one was impossible to miss if you watched it all. :)

*Checks the episode and sees people complaining about spoilers*

Ahh! Don't you just love Spoiler Saturday? :)

There's a reason I watch the Live Stream. :D

It was a short and effective epsiode with more heart than any other Xmas specials I grew up with.

I was reminded of another song while listening to that song in the episode.

While this wasn't my favorite episode of Season 2 (That currently goes to "Secret of my Excess" and "May the Best Pet Win"), it was still funny; Pinkie Pie was my favorite in this one. She had a lot of good lines.

So, the moral in this episode is that the second everyone argues and is not friendly with each other... we enter the second Ice Age. Interesting. XD
