What do you mean by foreshadowing?

If you watch the first two episodes of the season (mostly the first one), there's a fairly clear subtext that Celestia and Luna have SOMETHING planned for Twilight, but they don't really go into any detail about it. Some fans have speculated that they plan to make Twilight an alicorn, but most of us think that would unbalance the dynamic of the show and that the creators would never do that...or if they did, it would never be permanent. But I dunno. It's all speculation at this point.

Ahh probally, so they didnt plan for her to defeat discord or anything like that?

Not sure...but they made a big deal about if she was "ready" yet and how it had to be HER to protect the Crystal Empire and the weird thing that the background did here. I dunno about you, but it REALLY feels like there's an intentional parallel between Luna/Celestia and Twilight. I can see where all the alicorn theorists are coming from, as unlikely as that conclusion seems to me.

WoodenToaster is one of the more well known brony musicians, but my personal favorite is still SimGretina. This song he remixed is among my favorites of all time.

My list for the best of jan 13

1.Let's Go and Meet the Bronies
2.[Animation] Ponies With Hats
3.My Little Portal: Episode 3 (HD)
4.Rainbow Dash Presents: My Little Dashie
5.[PMV] VIP Clouds Music Video
6.[SFM] Rainbow Factory
7.SIX [PMV]
8. Трейлер 8 выпуск Бронивилль Тайм.
9.New Math by Tom Neighrer
10.Foal Musicians

(Tried linking but things in links messed with stuff, but if you enter the full title into youtube it should be one of the first few results on each)

Anyone

I fixed the link...thing! Kinda. It's workable, at least.

I would order the list more like this:

1. Let's Go and Meet the Bronies (Outstanding on all accounts)

2. SIX [PMV] (Visually, I feel it's just REALLY well put together, and the song is great to boot. Just beautiful to watch)

3. Rainbow Dash Presents: My Little Dashie (Ok, I cringed when I first saw how long this was. I decided to give it a shot, and as soon as the narration kicked in I knew I'd stay for the rest. Absolutely hilarious. I haven't read MLD, so I dunno how close this parody is to the actual story, but I think I get the idea)

4. [Animation] Ponies With Hats (Always loved Llamas With Hats, and this is a very nicely animated recreation. Way better animation than the original)

5. [SFM] Rainbow Factory (Even though the animation itself wasn't anything spectacular, the feeling of it all was just...wow. So dark and sinister and haunting)

6. Трейлер 8 выпуск Бронивилль Тайм. (Pied piper pony? Interesting. That twist at the end was expected, yet still manged to creep me out a litle)

7.Foal Musicians (This was utterly cute and hilarious. Short but sweet)

8. New Math by Tom Neighrer (This amused me greatly, but it's not higher on the list mostly in that the pony aspect of it really felt extraneous to my enjoyment. I can't say I even really noticed how good the animation was, though I guess if it'd been bad I would have noticed that. Reminds me of Yacko's multiplication song from Animaniacs~)

9. [PMV] VIP Clouds Music Video (This one was alright...I liked the song, and Fluttershy was cute, but the premise felt awkward, and the animation could use improvement. Not like I can do anything remotely as good, but still)

10. My Little Portal: Episode 3 (HD) (This one...I didn't really like it too much. I think it was mostly the dialogue that killed it for me. Unlike My Little Dashie where they went for as FAR from what you'd expect the voices to sound like as possible, the just off enoughness of the voices in this one, and the delivery itself kept me from connecting. Fluttercube was almost ok, but I may be biased in that regard)



EDIT: Also, THIS :D

Have you not seen other rainbow dash presents? He bases his storys off the fan fictions but then adds his own spin

His version of Rainbow Factory is pretty awesome, I love the ending he gave it.

And about time XD there were a couple hour + ones I looked at but thought were a bit long for a top 10 list.

I actually haven't seen any of the RD presents series, but after that one, I may have to check other ones out. Speaking of hour long plus though, I'm reminded of the Turnabout Storm series, which combines Ace Attorney and MLP, two of my favorite things. I've only seen about half the series because it's so long, but I want to get around to watching the rest at some point...
