Kind of reminds me of Jimmy Neutron. Somehow able to create massive amounts of tech out of fucking nowhere, yet fails to comprehend even the most basic consequences of his actions.

If anything, intelligence, common sense and maturity don't always go in hand. Nice comparison, by the by.

A friend got them for her group (they live in Virginia so I can't see them yet). Most are awesome but Fluttershy's head is just plain wrong. They made her a recolor of Dash last time so I am not liking it.

A friend said he tried it.
"Eh, it's not for me. Pinkie's meltdown in the last-ish episode was pretty funny though."
"Did you just pick and choose?"
"Nah, I just watched up to that."
"From the first one?"
"Yep"
"BUT WHY?"
"It's good to pass the time"

He watched 25 episodes of something he didn't seem to like that much. What the hell?

Most McDonald's will sell you the toys without the meal. If you're embarrassed, just tell them you collect happy meal toys; it's a pretty lucrative hobby, if e-bay's any indication. Also, you'll want to ask around at different Mc'Ds in your area... different stores often have different toys at the same time, even if they're only a few miles away from each other.

And in case you're wondering, no, I never worked at a McDonald's... but my girlfriend did. Hooray, insider knowledge!

What's the going rate for the toys alone? Couple bucks each?

As near as I can tell, a Park Slope mom demanded her right to buy a Happy Meal smurf toy minus the Happy Meal. When the cashier kid said they couldn’t sell it alone, the mom started shrieking, “It’s the LAW. You’ve got to sell it to me separately.” ... the broad balked at shelling out $3.99 for a plastic toy

Re: What is with all of this "My little pony" stuff? (The unofficial official MLP Thr

Around my area they usually sell them for around $1.50 - $3, depending on the toy and how many they have on hand. As for whether they'll sell it to you separately, that's up to the store manager or franchise owner. Most, I would imagine, wouldn't care... the toys cost the restaurant a few pennies apiece, so they'll still make a hell of a profit. You'll probably want to talk to a manager, though; most of the cashiers can't do anything unless there's a big colour picture on the register buttons.

Episode #20 was really fun to watch but I dislike it when cartoons and stuff cover time travel. Fallacies everywhere. ;~;

-Past Twilight receives message from future
-Future Twilight gives message to past

Acceptable, but when did the loop start? :s

Twi might have done the time travel thing to tell herself not to stress out about her schedule,
She is as successfull at that as the iteration of the loop we saw,
  • 1 the "past twi" of that iteration freaksd out,
  • 2 realisez that there was no actual problem
  • 3 goes back to warn herself, unsuccessful
  • 4 go to 1

There didn't seem to be anything wrong with her knowing where the time scrolls are, or going there, Celestia might even have told Twi about them (if she assumed/knew that Twi won't hurt anypony during that adventure, letting her make that mistake isn't that bad of an idea to teach her that lesson)

What are the chances of a Portal-esque episode happening?

Well, I read way too much Homestuck, so I've learned to take all time paradoxes at face value because it's easier that way. Basically, it never starts. It just happens.

Consider that there is only one constant flow of time - the "first" Future Twilight was the same Future Twilight we "watched". It's a closed cycle, so how did it begin? She wouldn't have freaked out before Future Twilight came, but Future Twilight wouldn't come unless she freaked out.

Re: What is with all of this "My little pony" stuff? (The unofficial official MLP Thr

I have an issues with time travel fallacies, but not this time. Some dumber cartoons throw time travel stuff in there as a solution to something in such a way that is full of problems, but in this episode the flaws were given shout-outs every time. It was the point of the whole episode, and the fallacies were pointed out directly as it went. Twilight didn't know there was a time travel section of the library until she told herself about it, and that was mentioned clearly.

It's tough to explain, but the point is that the fallacies weren't overcites, they were pretty intentional every time.

Before "Future Twilight" came, she was doing fine freaking out about her schedule,
So she could have tried time travel to solve the schedule trouble, resulting in time-trouble, time-trouble results in another time travel to solve time-trouble and so on, and there you go you got the closed cycle (i.e. time travel give an imperfect time-cycle (she doesn't say the exactly same thing going back-> her past self doesn't react the same way and doesn't say the same thing going back) that eventually become a perfect closed cycle (going back she say's the same -> she reacts the same -> she say the same and so on)

The trouble with this is that every 'loop' of the time 'loop' has to be the same. Her intentions can't change - after all, she only visits the past once.

Her intentions dont change, but her wording or injuries might, whatever happens to "past twi" depends on "future twi"'s visit, so "future twi" with a casket might scare "past twi" to do something which ends breaking her rib, instant of her leg, giving the new "future twi" different injuries, possibly resulting in past twi doing something different, and so on, until "future twi" behaves/looks a way which causes "past twi" to end up like the "future twi" she met, so the imperfect cycle becomes a perfectly repeating cycle

I get what you're saying, but, I think you're missing that the first Future Twilight at the start of the show is the very same Future Twilight shown at the end of the show. Both of those events are the same event and occur at the same time, because they're the same thing; it doesn't happen more than once.

There isn't more than one timestream. What looks like a looping of the same event is actually just one single occurence.

Imho "first future Twi" is just "future Twi" from the stable loop, it's the same because it's "stable" and it played out exactly the same for both of them, but whatever, let's not let this discussion become an endless loop (since we arrived at a simple difference in opinions)
