Dat world building.
So hyped for this week's episode. I think we're a great streak.
I don't like the sound of this

Unless there's time travel involved I'll RAGE.

How would time travel make things better?
this is the not-discord final boss we were promised and he's voiced by braeburn.

But seriously, we knew celestia and luna had living family already, so whats the big deal?
It preserves Celestia and Luna's unique status and may even give them an origin story. Anything else just wouldn't make sense.

Yeah, not sure I want to see another Alicorn introduced...
Blueblood is Celestia great-great-great-great-great-great...-nephew though.
I don't like the idea of introducing new alicorns either. Then again this makes me think that the alicorn filly seen in Twilight's nightmare in Lesson Zero wasn't an accident. Maybe they'll make a distinction between "normal" alicorns and the goddesses? We'll see...
Judging from that pic, this week's episode is gonna be another good one.

On the note of this week ep. Another picture.

The Holiday Play is apparently being held at the bi-annual time traveler convention. So many Minuets!

While this is a good episode and all I do find it stupid that dragons only grow when they are greedy. So if Spike never takes things he'll be a baby forever?

A lot of plot in that picture.
I was going to say "maybe he grows unnaturally when he's greedy," but Zecora did say it was in his nature, so it would be natural growth...
Am I missing the post that confirms the princess isn't just a unicorn like Blueblood? The fan art just says see Equestria Daily for details but the search and tag system on that site is so awful I can't find the other post.
Blueblood alone is proof that Celesta and Luna have other family members somewhere out there. The show has given no reason to believe that the Celestia and Luna are the last two alicorns.
Speaking of which, I can't help but feel like DrForester when I say that there being another alicorn in the show which then led to the destruction of Egophiliac's and other similar Celesta and Luna fanon would be pretty funny.
Also Fun fact: Alicorn is apparently the material that a unicorn's horn is made out of and not what a winged unicorn is called at all!

They have their mouths open as if they were SINGING A FUCKING SONG.
Oh... There will be a song. Oh yes, there will be a song.
There was a post on EqD a few weeks back about some Hasbro even/press conference/whatever where they had a cardboard stand depicting both Shining Armor and Cadence. No, I can't find it right now, maybe it was in one of the nightly roundup posts. Anyway, she had both a horn and wings in that pic, while Shining Armor was a unicorn or an earth pony, I forget which.
I believe this was discussed in the thread before. Yes, alicorn refers to the substance that unicorn horns are made of, but the fandom has adopted the word as a way of referring to winged unicorns. From what I've seen, it's used so widely in the fandom that there's no point in trying to fight it.
I found the photos if anyone else missed them like I did.

Seems like an episode inspired by Prince William's wedding going by Shining Armor's clothes.
And Spike wasn't invited. :lol
Yeah, those are the ones.
Everyone else gets a completely new dress but Rainbow Dash has to wear practically the same thing she wore to the gala, sans circlet?

Pony flies down the street wearing that hat, you know she's not afraid of anything.

Judging from that preview, they're taking the lore in a very promising direction.

*clap clap clap* Awesome episode.
World building is always good to see, and with continuity too.
My only complaint:
Then again, this is a play and may not be entirely accurate. Especially with kids in the audience.

Where do Celestia and Luna come into play? They were on the flag at the end.

Most likely they've been worshiping them already.
Do you want to give something to the one who just destroyed the town because you gave him things?

Think my expectations were too high. Expected multiple songs, and being a pony history episode, SOME Celestia. What's pony Christmas without Celestia?
Still enjoyable, just not top tier.

Fan artists work fast...
Fun episode, I didn't expect all the episode to be the play, but it was interesting to see some world building. Plus, we got some Applejack and Pinkie interaction. That's actually pretty rare. They work great off each other. Also, "Hearth's Warming Eve"? Well, there was a burning heart, and it did keep the ponies warm over the night, so it might actually be a literal name for the celebration.
By the way, if ponies hating each other causes winter... Then I've got to see the festival that turns autumn into winter. The annual "Let out your frustrations to summon the Wendigos" day? That'd be fun to watch.

All these episodes are leading up to an awesome Adventure Time crossover.
It just makes too much sense!

Well, the episode was awesome.
Sounded more like the Equestrian hymn than a christmas carol.
I hope fan artist create the real queen ponies of the old Equestria (and their helpers). I would like to see how people do them. Would they adults as celestia and luna?
Why? I want to watch one of this days the whole series and want to know what it has in common with this last episodes.
