IMPRESSIONIST

Also...

Carrot Top/Golden Harvest and Lemon Drops were on that train.
The train probably arrived at 12:45 pm.
Oh, "LOSE my mind": I thought she said "I have to get out to change my mind", a line of Daffy Duck.
"The Cantering Cook"
One block away? According to the map, it's 3 blocks away in a straight line, and Pinkie walked the long way, 10 blocks.
"Hand-stitched 10,000 thread count velvet lined rock pouch". HAND stitched? It was made by minotaurs?
There are also moose, monkeys, and elephants in the planet Equestria is in.

The return of Cranky...and I wonder why he isn't with his wife...
Moonshot Manticore Mouthdive?
The return of the manticore!
Where are Snips and Snails? Did they lose interest in Trixie?
No Luna?
Looks like Starlight made her decision...
Trixie seems to be a bit....deflated...
Unicorn helmet...
That's not the same manticore from the series premiere...
Heh, a bit late on the teleport...
And the manticore bowed too, he he.


What have we learned?

Big Macintosh hates talking too much...especially when he's magically forced to.

Hoffdini was Trixie's inspiration.
Starlight can teleport.

TWILIGHT'S

Also...

"An apple awoke and accidentally ate an auburn azalea"
Rarity took Starlight's measurements without writing anything down. Maybe the measuring tape stores that data?
If that was just a sonic boom, and not a sonic rainboom, then RD obviously does rainbooms with pegasus magic. Also, she can go from 0 to Mach 1 in 1 second.
Trixie's new stage is no longer the fold-out type from her first appearance, now it has to be assembled.
No foals were at the show.

One of the Wonderbolts retired.
There were originaly 20 Wonderbolts.

Well

Also...

Is it just me, or did RD's mansion get bigger?
I wonder who Firestreak was...
Admiral Fairweather built the Wonderbolt Barracks...so was he an admiral or an architect?
General Flash?
Ah, Altius volantis, not momentum. Sorry.
Odd, none of the Wonderbolts uniforms feature the ponies- cutie marks...
Co-ed locker rooms, too...
RD has a picture of the Mane 6 in her locker, except she's not in it, meaning she took the picture.
For a moment I thought Scootaloo had moved the cloud with her scooter, but no, she kicked it with her hoof. Meaning, she's 100% pegasus.

Cue Luna!!!! Yay!!!
And we see RD's dad, Cherrielee, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Pipsqueak, Bulk Biceps, some stallion with a goatee, Snips, Snails, Button Mash, Featherweight, Thunderlane, and Rumble,


What have we learned?

Octavia is also a conductor.
Star Swirl was an expert at everything from transfiguration, dimensional calibration and teleportation, minimum.
So Snowfall Frost is a mix of Ebenezer Scrooge and The Grinch.
Snowfall's story happens sometime after Ponyville was founded. Canterlot has proper houses, not tents.
DJ-P0N3 doesn't sing...maybe she IS mute?
The Cake twins can sing?
Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon have apparently reconciled.

Pinkie ordered a giant sundae, 2 cupcakes, chocolate cake, carrot dogs, veggie pizza., a stack of cupcakes,
Anyone recognise the ponies who were standing in line?

Lol, melted Rarity.
Heh, moons.
Good catch, Twi.
That's a long list there...
Those are strange instructions...
Lol, Rainbow Dash
Gee, thanks, Aloe.
Did AJ's voice just deepen?
The return of Caramel, and he talks!
The return of Diamond Tiara's mother, ugh.

Pony

Also...

18 pie plates? Golly...
However, AJ only gave him 11 new pies.
AJ owns 12 pigs.
Berry Punch seems to have a boyfriend.
Among the clients: Golden Harvest, Cherrielee, Lyra, Bon-Bon, Caramel, Spoiled Rich, Cup Cake, Carrot Cake (with Bulk Biceps doing his massage),
It looks like with the additional clientèle Aloe and Vera had to get more employees.
Heh, collective eyeroll.
Spoiled seems to have recovered from her burn in "Crusaders of the Lost Mark".
Ah, it's the Ponyville Day Spa. Is that the first time we see the official name?
The Spa is much more complex than what we saw in earlier seasons. The steam room, for instance, was implied to only be a room with water ONLY boiling off hot stones, and not using so many pipes. Maybe the stones there now are only decorative?
A horseshoe is a tool?
Fixing chicken wire of one gage with chicken wire of a smaller gage isn't that complicated....if you have thumbs, of course

Pinkie also has pictures of Moondancer, Iron Will, A.K. Yearling, Snails, and about 30 other ponies. She also has a wallet in her mane.
There are ukuleles in Equestria.
This is the second time Fluttershy throws someone out of her house.

I wonder if those false positives were actual REAL positives that DID require the attention of the Mane 6....but then the problems either resolved themselves, or simply deteriorated to irreconcilable/unsolvable levels...
The return of Celestia's secretary!
Those three snooty waiters had the exact same cutie mark, how odd...
The pictures on those three "gourmet" restaurants had squares, circles, and triangles.
Ah yes, there are elephants in Equestria. Several fanfics have been canonised!!!
The return of Minuette and Sassafras (with foal)!!!
Who could forget the return of the Pig Dance?
The return of Lyra!!!
The return of Amethyst Star!!!
Heh, diamonds. Typical of Rarity.
I wonder why Rarity didn't use her telekinesis to grab the bowl from Pinkie's mane...

RD is going to mes this up somehow...
I wonder why Caballeron doesn't sue for Daring Do for using his image.

Also...

My ISP had a LOT of lag this morning, so I didn't get to see the whole episode, until now:

Why didn't she FLY over the bridge? DUH!!!
Friendship summit in Griffonstone? That's ANOTHER joss for fanfics that have the griffons as belligerent against Equestria.
Both hats did have 20 arrow holes, besides the 3 air holes.
Ranma AND Sailor Moon?
CULIACAN!!! Geez, they had NO idea how to pronounce that name! No wonder I didn't get it until I read the transcript!!!
Chicomotzoc. Another nod to the Aztecs
Minuette is also a Daring Do fan.
Heh, fried carrots instead of fried hot dogs.
Snow cones in flavours of apple, orange, pineapple, tangerine, pear, and I'm not sure if that's a blueberry or a plum.
I WAS going to take back what I said about RD losing IQ points, but you do have to wonder why she didn't just CARRY Quibble over that canyon...

And stand by for Quibble-RD shipping...

The main blackboard STILL hasn't been erased.
According to the other blackboard, they're also learning the concepts of pi, infinity, conical sections (circle, ellipse, parabola, hyperbola), graphing 3rd-4th degree equations, and apparently carrots and apples can derive into Omega, lambda, and that strange symbol that looks like an incomplete infinity sign.
Scootaloo did NOT grow up in Cloudsdale.
Heh Rarity whinny.
I wonder if some of those ponies are Derpy's parents...
We finally see Snip's father, also a unicorn.
And Diamond Tiara got help from her butler. Sad that neither Filthy nor Spoiled were around.
Lol, "precious face".
Chicken.
In the audience: Berry Punch, Bon Bon, Minuette, Lyra, Daisy, Carrot Top, The Doctor, Caramel, Pokey Pierce, Bulk Biceps, Cherry Berry, Amethist Star,
