((Warning: I curse like a sailor when I'm excited))
Discord's staying at Fluttershy's cottage and is in the intro! Zecora's in the intro! Luna's in the intro!
Twilight still can't fly, though she gets better when she's not actively thinking about it! She's still insanely neurotic! Spike doesn't bow, he just throws himself on the floor! Twilight apologizes for apologizing!
"I'll always be there for you if you need me," says Celestia. "You're tempting fate," I say. Five seconds later... "I called it! I called it, Celestia!"
Twilight has her own stained glass window! Pinkie Promise! Pinkie Pie gives Twilight letters without even being in Ponyville yet!
Twilight has a role in the Summer Sun Celebration, which, for the past thousand years, wasn't used to celebrate the beginning of summer, but to celebrate the banishment of Nightmare Moon, which caused Celestia so much angst! I did not see that coming!
Discord knows Winter Wrap Up and sings it in the shower! Twilight has a summoning spell for Discord! Discord is still friends with Fluttershy! (Even if he can't remember her name and what she looks like.) Discord can put .gifs on paper! (Or at least moving images of Twilight crying.)
Alicorn magic looks exactly the same as King Sombra's dark hate magic! (Headcanon I've actually had for a while now but now has a shred of evidence to support it -- King Sombra was Starswirl the Bearded who, through his old spell, was trying to become an Alicorn, but without the magic of friendship, he couldn't complete the spell, went mad, and decided to become a ruler the hard way.)
Zecora carries around magical Alicorn-activated liquid drugs!
The Elements of Harmony used to be rupees! (That made me so happy you don't even know, even though rupees don't actually have a shred of magic in them) There's a harmony tree that prophesized Twilight's ascension to godhood and immortality!
Cadence and Shining Armor weren't there because they were busy with the Crystal Empire, and I'm totally okay with that explanation!
The royal guards have personalities!
The ponies agree that they should use the Elements of Harmony together, but then they send Twilight home. If that's the case, Shouldn't Twilight have taken the Elements back, too? I mean, you can't use the Elements without the Element of Magic.
Luna's elements were Loyalty, Honesty, and Laughter! Which means that Celestia had Magic, Generosity, and Kindness!
Discord was laughing when he was first turned to stone, and he was laughing when the CMC released him! Also, he kept his throne! He's always had a thing for plaid, it seems.
Discord lied! The seeds he planted did screw up Ponyville, purposefully, and he knew it, but nopony called him out on it!
The Mane Cast no longer have their magical MacGuffin jewelry of Kickass! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA no more instakill fix-all for you girls!
Discord won't wreck things with chaos without the Elements to turn him to stone because Fluttershy wants him to, proving that he really does care! Discord had a valid point and was trying to help in sending Twilight back to the Everfree Forest, even though he was being kind of a dick about it!
Oh, yeah, leave the omnipotent God of Chaos in Ponyville while you all go into the Everfree Forest alone. That's a good plan.
Cragadile is both the best and worst pun ever! (Well, actually, I'm more fond of "taken for granite," but Cragadile is still pretty funny.)
Ooooh, new plot device! What's in the boooOOOooox? What's in the FUCKING BOX?! Six keys, Six Elements, Six ponies. Talk about getting crap past Hasbro's radar. If you have to ask, you're not ready to know yet.
The Summer Sun Celebration now actively includes Princess Luna as she lowers the moon as Celestia raises the sun! Twilight makes a sort of Sonic-Cutie-Mark-Boom as the two meet in the sky!
Half day, half night! (I was going to make a book out of that idea, but my favorite show did it first. Damn. Oh well.)
Apparently unicorns can stop out-of-control magic by licking their hoof and touching it to their horn? Does that mean their horns are like candles? That explains why Twilight burst into flames in "Feeling Pinkie Keen." Spike always keeps seatbelts in Twilight in case of flying emergency! Pinkie Promise at the beginning of the episode!
Nightmare Moon's appearance and subsequent banishment took like five minutes. Looks like Twilight's history books (Season one, Episode one) exaggerated things a bit. But even though it was short, That was a really good fight! I'm going to ignore the fact that Celestia and Luna both had ethereal manes a thousand years ago and pretend they had light pink and blue regular manes.
We still don't get an answer to whether Luna was trapped on the moon or in the moon. Was she on the surface like in the tumblr blog Moonstuck (Woonastuck) or was she sort of sleeping inside the moon? I'm confused.
This season is going to be the best one yet!
