Another S7 clip

This news splurge is not helpful timing on the part of Discovery Family. I'm spending most of today and tomorrow at the Severn Valley Railway's Spring Steam Gala, so I don't have that much time to devote to ponies. Still... this second trailer is a bit more conventional in format than the first one, and has been given a non-spoilery thumbnail by EQD:


Quick thoughts past the break.

Books disappearing? It looks like we have our Shadow Lock tie-in! I don't think it's a case of the magic being used being so super-powerful that it can defeat the combined efforts of Twilight, Starlight and Sunburst. My hunch is that once they've got over their surprise, they'll be able to do something about the hole quite quickly. But what then?

Oh yeah, and there's something that looks a bit like a pentagram. Apparently that's a big deal for some people.

  1. Starlight destiny is screwing the world, no matter what her paths in life are. ;D
    This teaser is already ten times interesting than Crystalling, even there no villain around, i hope i wasnt wrong...

    1. "The Crystalling" is easily my least favourite premiere, so it's a low bar to clear. :P Still, I do agree.

  2. It's definitely a more interesting clip. Not at all interested in Starlight, but I do like Sunburst. I will admit that I'm hoping PP is right and they are sucked into their own series.

    1. I would like to see more of Sunburst. I doubt he'll appear much away from Starlight, though – less of a problem for me than for you, of course.

    2. Frankly, if that's how they did it, it would be the greatest status quo shakeup since #savetree and I might actually watch a second series centering around worst pony.

      That's right, you heard me. Starlight "MC GlimGlam (The MC Stands for 'Mind Control')" Glimmer has now replaced Princess "Fuck" Cadence as my least-favorite character in the show. For the moment, anyway. :V

    3. There's surely a fic out there somewhere in which Starlight is a version of Cadance from some time loop or other...

    4. That vortex they opened up should swap Starlight into the EQG world and give us permanent Sunset Shimmer. That's the kind of trade I wanna see!

    5. I would hella go for this. We already know Starlight's going EQG anyway!

    6. I like Starlight, but having Sunset Shimmer in Equestria would be glorious.

  3. Why aren't you concerned about Starlight becoming a princess? Because that's what the clip seems to imply what's gonna happen.

    1. I'm not particularly in favour of having yet another alicorn, but it won't be a deal-breaker any more than Flurry Heart has been.
