If some people are confused about the "slight plot reference to the 1985 film Back to the Future" part on the original EG, I can explain it: 1: EG: Twilight has to return back home in a certain amount of time before the portal closes.BTTF: Marty gets stuck in 1955 and the only way to return home is to exactly transfer 1.21 gigawatts into the DeLorean at 10:04 PM on 12 November, 1955.BOTH: Both happen during the night. 2: EG: Twilight feels unusual about the place, and accidentally refers to Equestria multiple times.BTTF: Marty, having sent back in time to 1955, feels unfamilar to his surroundings.BOTH: Both accidentally refer to their own time/place. (Marty calls his father-to-be "dad" multiple times even when he wasn't born yet) 3: EG: Twilight had to return early, but it got interrupted by a dance, and a confrontration.BTTF: Marty had to go to Doc early, but due to that Marvin accidentally sliced his hand, Marty had to delay by performing the songs for the dance.BOTH: Both films have a school dance. 4: EG: Twilight referred to the human world once. (I left her in good hands)BTTF: Marty referred to 1955/original 1985 a few times. (Didn't see Jennifer for a week, said the car was wrecked, finding Biff different etc.)BOTH: Both referred to the time/place they went into.
