Season 9 Discussion Thread [Warning: SPOILERS!!!!!]

@Jarkes  
He’s credited in the episode

@Shimmering Spectacle
 
I meant actual shipping fuel or possibly going all the way.

Unpopular opinion: Starlight shouldn’t be shipped canonically.

@AC97  
wrong thread

Link to episode 20?

WHERE’S THE ENGLISH VERSION FOR EPISODE 20?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Wait a second…They actually paid off that joke in The Fault in Our Cutie Marks about the CMC not telling Twilight about Gabby not having a cutie mark? Dang talk about a call back

So episode 19 was…interesting I guess. It feels like they tried a season 1 moral with the writing of season 6-7 and it comes out very oddly. Them exploring and finally having Spike come over his infatuation with Rarity is nice (too many intermingled implications) but having Rarity want him around to be her personal servant isn’t her best portrayal either. Gabby is just kind of there as well but it’s nice to see previous characters make a comeback. But yeah not terrible, not wonderful either, honestly reminds me of It Isn’t the Mane Thing About You.

I like how Episode 19 had Rarity say “all these years.”
 
I get the impression somewhere around four years have gone by since the show started, in-universe, maybe more.

@AC97  
How many heartwarming eves, nightmare nights, birthdays and grand galloping galas have past by?

@Applelight Limited
 
I think there’s been hmm… six Hearth’s Warmings?
 
Huh. I’m not sure.

So I heard S9 Ep20 is another Starlight and Trixie episode.  
I might know someone going to love this episode.

@AC97  
There have been four shown Summer Solstice Celebrations in the show so far

@EotD
 
They didn’t really said Spike is over his crush, it’s more of a friendship thing then a romance thing. It’s kinda like when Discord got jealous of Tree Hugger for hanging around Fluttershy in “Make New Friends but Keep Discord”.

@Applelight Limited  
Five Hearthwarming episodes (Eve, Breaker,Tail,Club, and BGE), two Nightmare Nights (Luna Eclipsed and Scare Master), one birthday for Twilight, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie and two Grand Galloping Gala’s (BNE and Keep Discord)

So Gabby returns for the episode? Any comment on how she may be connected to Gilda?

@EotD
 
The thing about Club and BGE is, Cozy Glow appeared in the former, so does that imply BGE took place a year later? Or could you bend the timeline a bit?

@Dustcan  
Nope.

If there’s anyone that knows where I can find a link to watch episode 20 in English audio, please PM me if any of you can find one.

@Red-Supernova  
I second you.

@Red-Supernova  
make that third

@Hakirayleigh  
Thanks!

@Red-Supernova  
Me too.

Even though I hate Gabby with a passion, Dragon Dropped was still one of my all time favorite episodes!!! 10/10

@Shimmering Spectacle  
When I found the link for episode and it turned out to be the Chinese Dub, someone gave it a very rude name.
