Found an interesting comment about that book at the end
6:08 On the tower: the exact same symbols as the book at 40:58 which means A: Since luna was holding the book, and as the tower was still canterlot castle, which means the tower could be luna's, meaning luna might start training twilight B: That tower is STAR SWIRL the bearded's and so is the book, so perhaps she is gonna be like starswirl or have training similar to star swirl's. Basically, from now on, when ever you see a star and a swirl together, this conspiracy will only grow. Therefor: until this mystery is solved, I will be going increasingly insane trying to figure out WHAT THE HELL THE STARS AND SWIRLS AND THE BOOK MEANS!
On another note: many people have been complaining about Sambra(ro) not being fleshed out enough. Think of it this way: hes not really a character, more so a force, an energy of pure evil as most of his normal self was lost when he was turned to shadow. It was characterized as a omnipresent force that was near impossible to stop, setting up the episode for character development and revelations (both obvious and hidden)
That would be kind of cool if it became like the Bad Wolf line from Doctor Who.

You know, while I was watching that episode, I couldn't help but compare Sombra to the Sha. Why's this? They were both defeated long ago, they were both sealed away long ago, and they both (by some means) escaped from their imprisonment.
...or maybe he's more like Deathwing...
The theories can go on and on, which is the beauty of him not having much background information/screen time.
(I do believe that the reason he didn't have much screen time is because, throughout the entire episode, we knew he was outside of the Crystal Empire, perhaps even actively break through the barrier.)
Sorry for the long post.

should we worry about how easily Celestia called upon the powers of hatred and fear to show the effects of the crystals? Maybe it just shows her control over emotions rather than anything malicious.
Pinkie pie reversal was awesome. a lot of expressions to work with here too like Dutiful twilight with her cutie mark behind her.
i loved rarities "thats incomprehensible!" reaction to RD's apathy to the castle, followed by the the reveal that RD and AJ are just messing with her. It really shows how far their friendship has progressed where they know each other so well and well enough to casually mess with each other without misunderstandings.
and oh my god pinkie in a fluttershy suit XD that was unexpected. fluttershy's reaction to it was a good touch
also major product potential for crystal versions of the mane 6, crystal ponies and candence/shining knight. Not that iam criticising, its present in the previous shows too and just like now its never shoved down our gullets[ but subtlely influenced without cost (or infact attribution) to the plot
I feel they should return King Sombre later on to expand on him more. While he had a nice design and seemed to have powerful abilities (this hate magic is totally new) he wasnt expanded on much compared to the other villains. and definitely has potential.
Also.

Anyone else feel like Pinkie Pie should've made a larger appearance in this weeks episode?
Definately, she's really been neglected this season...
On a serious note: did anyone else find the clone banishing Pinkie's fingers
horrifying
? I wonder how little kids reacted to it.
On a lighter note; the refference to the earlier gen's with Pinkie's face was HILARIOUS! As was the test, watching paint dry. Whoever thought of that needs a raise.

I was impressed that Twilight Sparkle has a spell that disintegrates ponies and banishes them from the dimension.
Highlights:
Fluttershy: I can promise to not do anything fun at all, if that would help?
Twilight Sparkle: "Hehehe... Oh Pinkie, I'm afraid no matter how hard you try, the only way to pull something like that off is if there's more of you to go around!
Pinkie: *tick tick tick tick tick*
Pinkie: That's it!
Pinkie: You coming in Dashie? The water's great! It's totaly wet and everything!
Pinkie: Two fun things, at once, but which... which? Ooh, can't decide... heh heh... trouble breathing... heh heh... *grabs fourth wall* walls... closing in! *as camera zooms in*
Fluttershy: Wall? But, we're outside...
And here's some mandantory funny faces:
Pinkie Gasp
Flootershay
No, I'm not a psychopath, why do you ask?
Pinkie Cry
Spike is not amused.
And, the most interesting one:
Pop quiz!
Doesn't that remind you of something?
Maybe this will help.

Pinkie: *tick tick tick tick tick*
Pinkie: That's it!
That was my favorite part, aside from:
*Pinkie jumps off swing and flies through air*
Pinkie Pie: wheeee!
*Falls towards water, but slows and and daintily sinks in*
Rainbow Dash: How did you do that?
The other ponies can see that Pinkie breaks physics; the aponycolypse is near!
Pinkie Cry
Pinkie's crying broke hte internet...
And, the most interesting one:

Eh, I see the resemblence, but only vaugely.

the bloating fake pinkies when they were banished was horrifying.
overall a fantastic pinkie episode :3. so many expressions to die for.
Also the expression of her 2nd breath intake is missing. --->
this one

I gaffowed when i saw rainbow dash at the lake with the new Daring Do book. Another reason i love MLP so much. Sure the episodes are stand alone but they still refer to past episodes (like spike inserting his image into Twilights birthday shot).

Heh, when I saw that I actually stopped the episode (or.. maybe I waited untill my second viewing to do taht...) and went back to pause and see which it was. I was slighlty dissapointed when i saw it was the first one, but after a moment it stopped bothering me; who doesn't like re-reading books?

But what about Fluer de Lis? D:
Or would Ménage à trois be a more appropriate name now?
No! Bad Skree! >:o
