...talk about unexpected sources.

Yup, Tanks for the Memories is definitely up there. Right now, I'm considering it the redemption of the Vampire Bats episode.
Things I took away from this episode:
This episode, on the other hand, marks the first time I saw Rainbow act in a loyal fashion without it seeming like ham-fisted attempt to justify their having assigned her the element of loyalty way back when. She went into the Weather Factory to stop winter for the sake of her friend Tank and for the first time, I thought "Yep, totally the Element of Loyalty."
Second, Spike confirms that dragons are not reptiles. Ergo, "dragonboobs" are totally a thing; MLP said so :D.

Well, I think I have a new episode to add to my favorites. "Amending Fences" took a character and event mentioned in the pilot and built a very nice story out of it. (So many callbacks to the pilot.) It was a fantastic episode for Twilight, one she desperately needed. (But poor Moon Dancer... Twilight got a real lesson in how sometimes what seems like nothing to you might mean the world to someone else.) It's easily one of the season's best episodes.
(Somebody very interesting was also spotted lurking in the background.)
Interesting we saw a second broken friendship mended this season. (The first being Dash and Gilda.) Wonder if we'll see more? Broken friendships mended, current ones tested, and new ones made... Seems like an interesting theme going on.

Season 6will start later this year!
I'm strongly beginning to suspect season 5 only started as late as it did because of the Hub dying. If it hadn't gone down, I think s5 would have started a lot sooner. I bet s5 has been totally finished for quite a while.
Also, DVD/Bluray release date for Friendship Games - October 13

I'm thinking "Guardians of Harmony" is likely tied to the 2017 movie, possibly the subtitle or the toyline for it.
Second trailer for Friendship Games from SDCC with new footage, no sound. Hoping they upload that to Hasbro's Youtube after the con so we can hear the audio and see it clearly.
Plus, I'm really feeling sorry for EqG!Twilight. She looks like she's had a far harder road than her counterpart. Princess Twilight was mostly a loner by choice, this Twilight doesn't seem to have had one. She seems to not only be lonely, but bullied. I'm also suspicious of that amulet... I think someone gave it to her to manipulate her into doing something bad. I think now, her transformation into Midnight Sparkle is going to be an accident.

Maybe the amulet she has was given to her by this world's Discord or she created it by accident or on purpose without knowing how dangerous it is.
Also has anyone looked at the older looking principle from that crystal prep school. Does anyone know who she is, because I can't place her...yet.
Bad New: They are splitting season 5 up and there will not be a season 6 this year.

Season 5 poster. Some interesting things on there... like the CMC are in front but obscured. I suspect only one reason why they would hide the CMC... if it would give away a particular major development. If so, it's about time the trio had that plot resolved.
Also, Shining and Cadance are next to a cake with some interesting decorations.

TaliaKirana |
That on top of the cake is a baby carriage, which possibly means a royal baby? (I will be very amused if they call her Skyla to call back to that mystery baby alicorn toy that came out a couple of years ago. I still believe that toy was in fact meant to be Cadance, it was just based on an earlier version where her name and design weren't finalized.)

"Science of Magic" the first Friendship Games short just went up on the MLP facebook. Every Saturday until the Friendship Games premiere will see a new short.
This one proves Twilight and Sunset have a lot in common...
I really hope they don't have this movie end with the magic being taken away... I want the Canterlot High girls to remain magical girls, plus I don't want the EqG 'verse to end so soon.

TaliaKirana |
Looks like the hiatus won't be as long as we feared.
I was honestly thinking s5 wouldn't start back up until October, after Friendship Games aired. Nope, we get it going again September 12. (Plus, I think we can now say that leaked episode list was true. This confirms Episode 14 is "Canterlot Boutique".)

TaliaKirana |
September is going to be an interesting month for the show. Three episodes with heavy Rarity focus. "Canterlot Boutique," (linked above) "Rarity Investigates," and "Made in Manehatten." Which is an AJ/Rarity map episode. (Someone pointed out that this likely means Twilight will get her map episode with Fluttershy.)
Interesting note, this means we get a new episode of FiM on Sep 26th in the morning and Friendship Games that evening.

I'll see if any local bronies are doing anything.

Friendship Games short #5 - "A Banner Day"
Yesterday also saw Discovery Family air a special that combined the first four shorts with a ten minute sneak peek of Friendship Games.
Nice to see that Rainbow is still into music and not conveniently forgotten now that Rainbow Rocks is over. Seems they all still play together, since they mention music is still triggering their transformations.
Plus, that girl with Rainbow during the pep rally song sure looks like Sour Sweet. Wonder if they're sisters?

Trailer for the second half of Season 5 just released. Some neat little bits in there.
I can't wait for Saturday!

Teaser screenshot posted for "Canterlot Boutique". Not that it spoils much. Pretty dress, wonder who its for?

Alt-Twilight using a PKE meter? My inner Ghostbusters fan approves.
I wonder if FG will give us a look at what happened to the Dazzlings after they left the stage last movie. I approve of Dash still playing the guitar and not treating that as only relevant for the movie that featured it, and I hope the Dazzlings get the same treatment.

Well, this morning's episode was fun. Totally did not see the ending coming, though.
Also.... those Luna and Celestia themed dresses were gorgeous.

Yeah, Hearthbreakers got added right after I posted here.
