I almost typed “Dungeons and Discourse” up there in the title, but caught myself in time.
Because, seriously, what else do you think happens in a dungeon?…
This episode is being written up two weeks before its US airing, so you should know the drill by now.
You have been warned appropriately.
It’s about time I got around to this chapter book. Supposedly, it has the distinction of being one of the few printed materials being referenced by primary canon at least indirectly, so it has to have something interesting, right?
Let’s see.
Welcome to the comics.
A very far reaching episode, this one.
Now you see Lightning Dust.
Pinkie, yaks and yetis, oh my.
Well, now we know why the Apples have their farm mortgaged.
In which secondary sources are treated with epic ambivalence.
Meet episode 15. Or 14. The one that aired in Australia first. In case you’re spoiler averse, you might want to look at this later.
Moar pone! This episode is written by two ladies who wrote both Rarity Investigates – a very nice episode of relatively low world-building impact, and The Hooffields & McColts, a rather mediocre episode which likewise, didn’t tell us a whole lot about the world.
But now they’re talking about Spike and dragons, and most importantly dragon culture.
Well, it josses a bloody lot.
Moar pony! The new episode is out, and here’s my traditional dose of primary canon combing.
Continuing my points-of-canon series once again. This particular dose of pony is brought to us by Dave Polsky, the gentleman responsible for “Over a Barrel,” i.e. the source of some of the most egregious canon problems.
I was expecting something outrageously difficult, but surprisingly, I had to really fish for any world building elements in this one at all.
Why am I doing this now? Well, because I think it might be useful for the chronology, and I’ve been working on updating my chronology tool for Season 8. I just noticed I didn’t do one for Forgotten Friendship, which does have upper bounds on the Equestrian side now, and that seems chronologically predicated on this, so…
We have ponies out of order. Again.
