So apparently, episode five has already been announced...

http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/10/season-3-episode-5-possible-title-weird.html#more

Title: Magic Duel
Synopsis: None Yet
Air Date: December 3rd (Monday?)

I don't trust this. First off, the date seems so far off, not to mention, it came so soon after the last episode announcement... Wait, this is the "fifth" episode? Well, they haven't announced the fourth episode, so I guess this would make sense...
The title does make me think of you-know-who, and the guys making this show DID say that season 3 will be very "great and powerful" indeed. Plus I don't know anyone else who could or would want to fight a Magic Duel.

Funny how they included Princess Luna and not Celestia, even though Luna doesn't live in Ponyville. Then again, she WAS added by popular demand.
 
I chose "Spike" in that poll, just for the hell of it. 8)

On that note, FireEevee, I think I've finally figured out why Celestia absolutely sucked during battle in "A Canterlot Wedding, Part 2".

In "Boast Busters", Spike said, and I quote, "I thought unicorns were only supposed to have a little magic that matches their special talents," to which Twilight confirms with a solid "yes".

Later on in the series, it's confirmed that a pony's "special talent", and by extension a unicorn's magical ability, is expressed directly through their cutie mark. For example, Rarity's special talent is designing clothing, so her cutie mark is three diamonds and her magic revolves around creating fashion. Shining Armor has a shield for his cutie mark, so his primary spell produces a giant force field to protect Canterlot from outside invaders.

Now go look at about any image of Celestia. What's her cutie mark? That's right, the sun. Logically, her only powerful magic stems from her sun-related royal duties. Note that that excludes combat-related magic. And what did she do first? She charged straight at Chrysalis with a magic yellow ray-gun blast.

No wonder "Shining Armor's love proved more powerful than [Chrysalis] thought"! There wasn't anything her own Shining-powered ray gun blast (remember, Shining's magic revolves around protection, which can include defensive green ray gun blast thingies) was competing against!

I think you're thinking too much into this.

If you thought that was overthinking things, you should take a look around this one notebook I've been writing since season 2 ended.

It's chock full of theories ranging from "Sweet Apple Acres brainwashes Ponyville to accept no industry competition" to "Chrysalis threw the battle at the end of Canterlot Wedding Pt. 2" to "Heart's Warming Eve is an allegory for the Mormon exodus".

Yeah, I've been watching too much MatPat13. :\

episode 7 ♥
 
I'm most interested in Apple Family Reunion.

We could hopefully get something around Applejack's parents. We can possibly finally find out if Applejack's parents are... well... around. Though I hope not too many fans aren't too attached to the "Applejack's Parents are dead" fanon. As emotional some of the fanfiction or fanart might be, it might be a relief that they'd essentially become too sad to be true. If there is at least a mention or appearance of her parents somewhere and we're shown that they are live and well.

Or who knows, they could surprise us with implying that they're no longer around and actually make the thought that Applejack's parents are dead canon. It'd be really ballsy for them to do so, and I really doubt that's it's going to be the case. But I'm not completely putting it out as an impossibility.

Too Many Pinkie Pies... I think I talked about this already, but I basically have faith in the writers, but at the same time, I hope they don't make Pinkie Pie annoying like they have occasionally in the past...

One Bad Apple... I'm guessing this is going to relate to Applejack and her family somehow... Maybe it's a black sheep of the Apple family. Or maybe it actually focuses on Applejack for a change.

Magic Duel, again, it definitely sounds like a perfect episode for Trixie's return. Here's hoping!

Sleepless in Ponyville... I wonder if this will involve Luna...

The Wonderbolt Academy, I wonder if Rainbow Dash will finally get her wish!

Apple Family Reunion... Didn't they have a family reunion during the Summer Sun Celebration in the first episode? Will this be the official mark that a year has gone by in Friendship is Magic?
