      • Just a coincidence perhaps?   03:40, March 21, 2014 (UTC)

  • Fourth, if we count The Return of Harmony as two episodes (or you forgot about Keep Calm and Flutter On) Vengir (talk) 12:14, November 15, 2013 (UTC)

  • Hm, I don't recall her using it in PYHD, but if that's true (I may just be forgetful), then she's used it once every season.-- Jonny Manz^talk_contribs^e-mail_{edit count} 07:29, December 30, 2013 (UTC) 
    • She did use the stare at the end of the episode, when Angel doesn't want to eat his salad.   Golden Bluebird  07:34, December 30, 2013 (UTC)
      • Ah, ok, cool, then that means my point about her using it once every season up to this point stands! Yay! (:D)-- Jonny Manz^talk_contribs^e-mail_{edit count} 23:20, December 30, 2013 (UTC)

• Second time Andrea Libman sings for Pinkie Pie, the first was A Friend in Deed. Glenn31 (talk) 16:54, January 13, 2014 (UTC)
  • Actually, that's incorrect; not even speculating on whether Andrea sing for Pinkie in Bats (song), she sang for Pinkie at least once prior to the three songs besides Smile Song in A Friend in Deed: Happy Monthiversary in Baby Cakes.-- Jonny Manz^talk_contribs^e-mail_{edit count} 20:23, January 13, 2014 (UTC)

• Second ever Granny Smith solo.

Rainbow Falls

• First episode to fully share its name with the Equestrian village of the same name ("Wonderbolts Academy" doesn't count since the location from that episode is called Wonderbolt Academy. Rainbow Dash also doesn't count cause this episode is named after the location of the same name, not the character itself). Prince Silversaddle (talk) 18:57, March 21, 2014 (UTC)

The first was "Power Ponies" which had three writers ("The Ticket Master" doesn't count; that episode was written by developer Lauren Faust and writer Amy Keating Rogers). Prince Silversaddle (talk) 07:48, March 18, 2014 (UTC)
  • Lauren Faust is a writer too. (A producer can't be a writer as well? (wat))   18:23, March 23, 2014 (UTC)

  • Technically, it her sister Maud Pie, it's possible that her absence in Pinkie's flashback  from The Cutie Mark Chronicles is due to the result of Pinkie's storytelling. Jamster93 (talk) 17:34, February 25, 2019 (UTC)
• This episode shows portraits of Pinkie Pie's past parties, in this case: her first party with her family in Cutie Mark Chronicles, Twilight and Spike's welcome party in Friendship is Magic, part 1, Gummy's first birthday in Party of One, and the wedding reception from A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2 --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 16:16, January 31, 2014 (UTC)

Filli Vanilli

• Second 14th Amy Keating Rogers episode after Season 2's "The Last Roundup". -Prince Goldstreak (talk) 05:25, September 3, 2015 (UTC)
• SPOILER ALERT! According to The Hub, this episode will feature the second appearance of Flutterguy. - Jasonbres (talk) 02:06, February 15, 2014 (UTC)
• This is the first time where Flutterguy sings (via lip-syncing for a member of The Ponytones who lost his voice during a turkey call competition). Prince Silversaddle (talk) 14:21, March 19, 2014 (UTC)
  • Second. How dare you forget Flutterguy sang the Evil Enchantress song! :) - Jasonbres (talk) 14:24, March 19, 2014 (UTC)
• First time in the series where all three members of the Cutie Mark Crusaders are seen together in three consecutive episodes in a row in a single season ("Pinkie Pride", "Simple Ways", and this episode). Prince Silversaddle (talk) 17:26, March 24, 2014 (UTC)

• The first episode Lotus Blossom appeared since Ponyville Confidential, and first episode Aloe appeared since A Friend in Deed. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 16:17, February 15, 2014 (UTC)
• Interesting, this could be the most voice actors for a single pony in a single episode. Fluttershy's speaking and singing voice is, as usual, Andrea Libman. During Zecora's poison joke explanation, the flashback to Bridle Gossip hears Flutterguy's original voice actor, Blu Mankuma. Filli Vanilli credits Alvin Sanders for the speaking voice of Flutterguy and Marcus Mosely for the singing voice. That's Libman, Mankuma, Sanders, and Mosely for Fluttershy/guy in Filli Vanilli!--  Heeeeyyyy, everybody! It's Meester Tweester!   16:44, February 23, 2014 (UTC)
  • Even not counting Mankuma in the flashback, she still has the most voice actors. Oh what beauty of a rose, to grace the eyes and charm the nose...~~SEGASister 16:48, March 29, 2014 (UTC)

  • And also the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Prince Silversaddle (talk) 08:08, March 20, 2014 (UTC)
    • Incorrect; they were there in "The Show Stoppers", and Apple Bloom was there by herself in "Bridle Gossip". - Raymondluxuryacht (talk) 02:00, March 23, 2014 (UTC)

It Ain't Easy Being Breezies

• Third episode where a contraction is in an episode title (Ain't). First being "Green Isn't Your Color" (Isn't) and the second being "It's About Time" (It's). Prince Silversaddle (talk) 04:28, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
• Would most likely be a Fluttershy episode, as she's stated in Three's a Crowd that she's been invited to see them. --Oh what beauty of a rose, to grace the eyes and charm the nose...~~SEGASister 15:33, January 25, 2014 (UTC)
• The first episode Flitter appears without Cloudchaser. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 17:29, March 1, 2014 (UTC)
• The first appearance of the Breezies. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 17:29, March 1, 2014 (UTC)
  • And the first to be featured in My Little Pony's 4th Generation. The Breezies originated from M.L.P.'s Third Generation. Prince Goldstreak (talk) 16:36, November 28, 2014 (UTC)
    • I don't see the relevance of this. Applejack and Spike originated in G1; wouldn't that make them "first"?   16:47, November 28, 2014 (UTC)
      • You're right. Tirek also originated from G1 too. Prince Goldstreak (talk) 03:36, November 29, 2014 (UTC)
• Second appearance of Fluttershy's famous yay. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 17:29, March 1, 2014 (UTC)

Somepony to Watch Over Me

• Although this episode was mainly focused on Applejack and Apple Bloom, this is the third Cutie Mark Crusaders episode to take place as the seventeenth episode after "Stare Master" and "Hearts and Hooves Day". Prince Goldstreak (talk) 07:48, November 30, 2014 (UTC)
• First time in the series to feature a "song" by Apple Bloom, only to be cut short by Scootaloo. Prince Silversaddle (talk) 00:29, March 20, 2014 (UTC)
• Second episode Applejack gets over protective over Apple Bloom, first being Bridle Gossip. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 02:49, February 12, 2014 (UTC)

      • I wasn't trying to correct you. I simply added my speculation under yours because the points are related to one another. It wasn't meant as a personal response, just a way of organizing info for people reading the page. I'll stop doing it that way. - Raymondluxuryacht (talk) 05:17, March 11, 2014 (UTC)
        • You didn't see the XD, huh? That means I'm laughing. I don't really mind. :P --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 22:34, March 12, 2014 (UTC)

• First episode to focus on Apple Bloom since "Family Appreciation Day". - Raymondluxuryacht (talk) 22:50, March 8, 2014 (UTC)
• Second episode to feature a sinister single-episode villain voiced by Ellen Kennedy. (first being Power Ponies) Ghostkaiba297 (talk) 06:02, November 4, 2014 (UTC)

Maud Pie

• First time that a Pie family member, besides Pinkie Pie, has their name in an episode title (even though her first appearance was in a portrait as a filly in "Pinkie Pride" and not in Pinkie's flashback in "The Cutie Mark Chronicles"). Prince Silversaddle (talk) 23:20, March 22, 2014 (UTC)

• First episode that Maud Pie appears as a supportive character, and the second episode she appears, first being her portrait cameo in Pinkie Pride. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 16:53, February 15, 2014 (UTC)
  • What about the cutie mark chronicals? She appeared then, didn't she? —Preceding unsigned comment added by FlutterRose (talk • contribs)
    • No, she didn't.   23:55, March 7, 2014 (UTC)
      • What about here then? —Preceding unsigned comment added by FlutterRose (talk • contribs)
        • No. Only Marble Pie and Limestone Pie appeared in The Cutie Mark Chronicles.   15:14, March 8, 2014 (UTC)
          • Oh yeah, guess thats cos one of them has the same coat color.
            • It's possible that Maud's absence is due to the result of Pinkie's storrytelling. Jamster93 (talk) 17:29, February 25, 2019 (UTC)
• The second Pinkie Pie episode to take place as an 18th episode. First being in season 2 in A Friend in Deed. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 16:57, February 15, 2014 (UTC)

• Eighth episode in which all of the Mane 6, except Spike, makes an appearance. Prince Silversaddle (talk) 05:32, March 19, 2014 (UTC)

• This is the First time that Rainbow Dash's tail was bitten by somepony else (Pinkie Pie bit her tail).--Amy64 (talk) 02:05, February 3, 2015 (UTC)
  • Correction: This is the second time as Fluttershy bit Rainbow Dash's tail in A Dog and Pony Show. Also, if I'm not mistaken, Pinkie Pie is the only pony to bite a both pony's mane and tail at one point or another in the series in which in this case it would be Rainbow Dash.--Leading the way. 03:15, February 22, 2015 (UTC)
• The fourth episode the Pie family farm appears after The Cutie Mark Chronicles, Magic Duel, and Pinkie Pride, and the first episode the farm appears outside of a flashback or portrait. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 14:59, March 29, 2015 (UTC)

For Whom the Sweetie Belle Toils

• First time in the series to have three sister-themed episodes in a row and in a single season (Applejack and Apple Bloom in "Somepony to Watch Over Me", Pinkie and her older sister in "Maud Pie", and this episode with Rarity and Sweetie Belle). Prince Silversaddle (talk) 20:32, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
• The longest episode title in the series that consists of only words and the first to have six words in an episode title ("The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000" doesn't count cause that episode has five words and a number). Prince Silversaddle (talk) 03:02, March 21, 2014 (UTC)
  • No, MMMystery on the Friendship Express is currently the longest title. (35 characters in length; "For Whom..." is only 32. Not counting spaces between words, "MMMystery..." is 31 characters in length; "For Whom..." is 27.)   16:46, April 17, 2015 (UTC)

  • Come to think of it, "Twilight Time" seemed pretty centered on Sweetie. - Jasonbres (talk) 17:15, March 20, 2014 (UTC)
    • I forgot to add to my original statement that its also the first time to, not only have an episode dedicated to each member of the CMC; but also have an episode dedicated to all three of them ("Twilight Time"). Prince Silversaddle (talk) 21:41, March 22, 2014 (UTC)

• Fifth time a supporting/secondary character's birthday is mentioned or celebrated, after Gummy's in Party of One, Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake's in Baby Cakes, Post Haste's in The Last Roundup, and Cheerilee's, Zecora's, and Matilda's in A Friend in Deed.   02:03, March 21, 2014 (UTC)
• Third time the Crusaders perform on stage after The Show Stoppers and Flight to the Finish. - Jasonbres (talk) 16:18, March 21, 2014 (UTC)
• Fourth appearance of Sapphire Shores, and second episode she talks. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 15:19, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
• This episode is the opposite of Sisterhooves Social. In that episode, Rarity messes up things for Sweetie Belle and she tries to fix them, as in this episode Sweetie Belle messes up things for Rarity and she tries to fix them. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 15:24, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
• The episode shows the train the Crusaders were on was going from Ponyville to Canterlot that was going through a desert; there is no desert between those two towns. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 15:24, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
  • Would this point not be more at home on Forum:Speculation/Animation?   20:27, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
• Second episode in which Twilight appears but does not speak, following "One Bad Apple". - Raymondluxuryacht (talk) 23:33, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
• First episode where Princess Luna and Sweetie Belle are really talking to each other ("Sleepless in Ponyville" doesn't count cause Luna visited Scootaloo in her dreams and was seen briefly at the end of said episode ("Sleepless in Ponyville")). Prince Silversaddle (talk) 06:06, March 23, 2014 (UTC)
• Second time Sweetie uses magic after Twilight Time. (One Bad Apple does not count since only sparks flew out of her horn unintentionally.) - Jasonbres (talk) 02:26, March 23, 2014 (UTC)
• Fourth time the phrase "wide, wide world of Equestria", or a variant thereof, is spoken, after Twilight in Feeling Pinkie Keen, Twilight again in Too Many Pinkie Pies, and Rarity in Keep Calm and Flutter On.   15:16, March 23, 2014 (UTC)

Leap of Faith

• Second appearance of Flim and Flam. - Jasonbres (talk) 12:47, February 19, 2014 (UTC)
• Third episode Applejack is the only Mane Six character to appear, first is Family Appreciation Day and second is Somepony to Watch Over Me. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 15:07, March 29, 2014 (UTC)
• First key episode that only one Mane Six character appears. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 15:07, March 29, 2014 (UTC)
  • In fact, it's the first key episode where any of the Mane Six is absent. - Raymondluxuryacht (talk) 18:30, March 30, 2014 (UTC)
    • Confusing statement is confusing. This is the first key episode where only one of the Mane Six (Applejack) appears with none of the other mane cast (Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Twilight Sparkle) making an appearance. Prince Silversaddle (talk) 17:45, April 4, 2014 (UTC)
      • What's confusing about it? I was just pointing out that all of the previous key episodes featured the entire group. - Raymondluxuryacht (talk) 19:12, April 5, 2014 (UTC)
• First time where Big McIntosh laughs. Prince Silversaddle (talk) 06:13, April 2, 2014 (UTC)
  • Nooooooo. ;) He laughed in Hearts and Hooves Day. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 04:28, July 5, 2014 (UTC)
    • So that means that this episode is now the second time Big McIntosh laughs. -Prince Goldstreak (talk) 05:51, December 8, 2014 (UTC)
• Second "key episode" where the character's name does not appear in the title, after It Ain't Easy Being Breezies. Oh what beauty of a rose, to grace the eyes and charm the nose...~~SEGASister 16:50, March 29, 2014 (UTC)
• Third key episode to feature a song, after Rarity Takes Manehattan and Pinkie Pride.   15:45, March 29, 2014 (UTC)
  • This is the second and final key episode to feature a song actually. "Pinkie Pride" doesn't count because that is the show's second musical episode having six songs, not just one song. Prince Goldstreak (talk) 17:48, November 28, 2014 (UTC)
    • Pinkie Pride still features at least one song. The fact it's a musical episode is completely irrelevant.   17:59, November 28, 2014 (UTC)
• First time that Twilight has been without a speaking role in consecutive episodes. - Raymondluxuryacht (talk) 23:26, March 29, 2014 (UTC)
  • I didn't see Twilight anywhere in this episode. - Jasonbres (talk) 23:27, March 29, 2014 (UTC)
    • I think that's kind of the point. --Kinrah (talk) 23:29, March 29, 2014 (UTC)
• Third appearance of Parasprites. One of the attendants of the medicine show is seen wearing a hat made out of parasprites. - Jasonbres (talk) 03:01, March 30, 2014 (UTC)

Testing Testing 1, 2, 3

• First time that multiple numerical numbers are used in an episode title (1, 2, 3) and the second overall since "The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000". Prince Silversaddle (talk) 22:05, March 18, 2014 (UTC)
• First episode to feature the history of The Wonderbolts. Prince Silversaddle (talk) 01:26, April 2, 2014 (UTC)
  • Source? - Jasonbres (talk) 01:52, April 2, 2014 (UTC)
    • It was speculated in the Hub Network's official press release for the April 2014 episodes. Prince Silversaddle (talk) 05:15, April 2, 2014 (UTC)
• Third episode in the series since "Luna Eclipsed" where Twilight Sparkle writes a friendship lesson/journal entry. ("Three's A Crowd" doesn't count cause Spike was writing the lesson, not Twilight). Previous episodes were "Look Before You Sleep" and "Stare Master". Prince Silversaddle (talk) 21:08, April 6, 2014 (UTC)
  • Twilight didn't write the friendship lesson in Luna Eclipsed either; Spike did.   21:26, April 6, 2014 (UTC)
    • Fixed. Prince Silversaddle (talk) 22:15, April 6, 2014 (UTC)
  • In the series? Actually, Twilight wrote the lesson herself in Look Before You Sleep and Stare Master.   22:28, April 6, 2014 (UTC)
    • Fixed again. Prince Silversaddle (talk) 03:40, April 8, 2014 (UTC)
• Third time that Andrea Libman does the singing voice of Pinkie Pie. The first was in "A Friend in Deed" and the second was in "Pinkie Pride". Prince Silversaddle (talk) 18:18, April 4, 2014 (UTC)
  • Actually, Andrea did her own singing for many other songs such as "Hop Skip and Jump song", "Evil Enchantress song", and "Generosity". I may have missed a few. - Jasonbres (talk) 18:28, April 4, 2014 (UTC)
  • Oh, yeah, she also sang the Happy Monthiversary song. - Jasonbres (talk) 14:22, April 10, 2014 (UTC)
• First rap song on the show. - Jasonbres (talk) 02:27, April 3, 2014 (UTC)
• Fifth appearance of DJ Pon-3. (Sixth including Equestria Girls.) Also, the first time she makes more than one appearance in one season. - Jasonbres (talk) 13:17, April 3, 2014 (UTC)
  • And its her third appearance outside of a season finale. The others were "Suited For Success" and "Simple Ways". Prince Silversaddle (talk) 06:29, April 5, 2014 (UTC)
• Third episode Rainbow calls Twilight an egghead after Fall Weather Friends and Read It and Weep. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 15:03, April 4, 2014 (UTC)
• Second time we see DJ Pon-3's eyes (third including Equestria Girls). - Jasonbres (talk) 18:00, April 4, 2014 (UTC)
  • With the first that took place during the "Love Is In Bloom" song ("A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2"), but that was only for a split second. Prince Silversaddle (talk) 18:23, April 4, 2014 (UTC)
• Fourth time Rainbow Dash said 'ohmygosh, ohmygosh, ohmygosh' after Sonic Rainboom, Wonderbolts Academy, and Daring Don't. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 15:09, April 5, 2014 (UTC)
• Second appearance of Filthy Rich, and first time he appears without his daughter. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 15:09, April 5, 2014 (UTC)
• Fifth episode all of the Mane Six's pets appear in one episode after May the Best Pet Win!, Just for Sidekicks, Games Ponies Play, and Maud Pie. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 15:09, April 5, 2014 (UTC)
• First time Tara Strong voiced a character other than Twilight. She is also listed as voicing "Pegasus 1". - Jasonbres (talk) 15:23, April 5, 2014 (UTC)
• First time Twilight walks on clouds without the aid of magic. She previously only flew into clouds in "Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 1". - Jasonbres (talk) 16:28, April 5, 2014 (UTC)
• First episode in which all of the Mane Six and all three Cutie Mark Crusaders appear with dialogue since "Just for Sidekicks". - Raymondluxuryacht (talk) 20:55, April 6, 2014 (UTC)
  • And second overall. Wait, was there more before "Just for Sidekicks"? Prince Silversaddle (talk) 20:59, April 6, 2014 (UTC)
    • I count two others: "Lesson Zero" and "The Return of Harmony Part 1". - Raymondluxuryacht (talk) 02:25, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
      • Then this would actually be the fourth episode overall. Previous ones were the two you just mentioned ("The Return of Harmony - Part 1" and "Lesson Zero") and the third was the one Raymond Luxury Yacht mentioned ("Just for Sidekicks"). Prince Silversaddle (talk) 03:49, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
        • Actually fifth. You forgot Ponyville Confidential. - Jasonbres (talk) 18:23, April 12, 2014 (UTC)
          • That one comes close, but if you watch carefully, Fluttershy never speaks in that one. - Raymondluxuryacht (talk) 20:28, April 13, 2014 (UTC)
  • Would the quick cameo of the Crusaders in the pilot count? - Jasonbres (talk) 14:42, April 7, 2014 (UTC)
  • Cameo appearances doesn't count, so nope. Prince Silversaddle (talk) 03:52, April 8, 2014 (UTC)
  • Key word being "with dialogue", which only Apple Bloom has in that episode. Ghostkaiba297 (talk) 05:51, November 4, 2014 (UTC)
• First time that Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy are all seen flying together at the same time. - Raymondluxuryacht (talk) 18:52, April 20, 2014 (UTC)
  • Does all the Mane 6 flying together as Breezies count? Ghostkaiba297 (talk) 05:51, November 4, 2014 (UTC)
• Unless I'm mistaken, as of this episode, this is the longest time that we have seen Twilight fly. - Jasonbres (talk) 18:54, April 20, 2014 (UTC)
• Last time a pony bites another pony's tail. (To be removed if this changes in Season 5) Ghostkaiba297 (talk) 05:51, November 4, 2014 (UTC)

• • Removal of these are not allowed; instead, this will be striked out if this changes in Season 5. Prince Goldstreak (talk) 17:43, November 28, 2014 (UTC)
• For the second time in four episodes, Rainbow Dash's tail is bitten by Pinkie Pie.--Amy64 (talk) 02:05, February 3, 2015 (UTC)

Trade Ya!

• First time that the nonstandard spelling of a word ("you") is used in an episode title. Prince Silversaddle (talk) 21:26, March 18, 2014 (UTC)
  • Actually, the second time. "Ain’t" is also a nonstandard spelling of "isn't". Gulomi Jomesh (talk) 19:06, March 21, 2014 (UTC)
    • I stand corrected by my original statement cause "Ain't" is not a nonstandard spelling of "isn't", it is a contraction of "isn't". Prince Silversaddle (talk) 20:03, March 21, 2014 (UTC)
  • Isn't Griffon a nonstandard spelling of Griffin? A griffon is a toy dog with a coconut head. Alysdexia (talk) 04:55, April 20, 2014 (UTC)
    • "Griffin", "griffon", and "gryphon" are all standard spellings of the same mythical beast.   05:07, April 20, 2014 (UTC)
• Daring Do's third cameo appearance after "A Friend in Deed" and "Too Many Pinkie Pies". --Prince Goldstreak (talk) 22:01, December 11, 2014 (UTC)

  • Sixth (if he was indeed in Filli Vanilli, I can't recall) -- he was also in Sleepless in Ponyville and Simple Ways.   04:18, April 18, 2014 (UTC)
• Fourth appearance of Cranky Doodle Donkey after A Friend in Deed, Dragon Quest, and Filli Vanilli. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 01:42, April 19, 2014 (UTC)

• Third episode to have an explanation mark in it's name after May the Best Pet Win! and Bats!. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 19:08, April 19, 2014 (UTC)
  • I believe you mean "exclamation mark". - Jasonbres (talk) 23:34, April 19, 2014 (UTC)
    • But those were quotation marks you used. :P --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 03:00, April 20, 2014 (UTC)
  • not "it is" name. Alysdexia (talk) 04:55, April 20, 2014 (UTC)
• Second ensemble-focused episode where everypony has their fair amount of screen time in their subplot...except Spike after The Best Night Ever. - Jasonbres (talk) 23:34, April 19, 2014 (UTC)
  • Actually, this is the third ensemble-centered episode, although Castle Mane-ia also included Spike in a significant role. - Jasonbres (talk) 20:07, April 20, 2014 (UTC)
  • There is no "has their"; 1 != 2. Alysdexia (talk) 04:55, April 20, 2014 (UTC)
    • Preceded by "everybody" or "everyone" (or in this case, "everypony"), "has their" is considered correct grammar.   05:07, April 20, 2014 (UTC)
• First Second time crystal ponies are seen outside of the Crystal Empire. - Jasonbres (talk) 23:36, April 19, 2014 (UTC)

  • Third - don't forget Midnight Strike from Wonderbolts Academy.-- Jonny Manz^talk_contribs^e-mail_{edit count} 21:37, April 21, 2014 (UTC) 
    • Who? --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 22:26, April 21, 2014 (UTC)
      • The black and yellow Pegasus at the beginning of the episode.   22:29, April 21, 2014 (UTC)
        • Wow, so many people throwing away their work of art, and Hasbro is gonna claim it to be all their's. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 23:10, April 21, 2014 (UTC)
  • ┌─────────┘
    Read Midnight Strike's list of ponies entry -- the OC belongs to an art director's family member and was used with permission.   23:18, April 21, 2014 (UTC)
• Second time this season AJ raised one eyebrow after Three's A Crowd. - Jasonbres (talk) 22:49, April 21, 2014 (UTC)

Inspiration Manifestation

• This is the fourth episode to credit multiple writers, which is also two. Previous episodes were "The Ticket Master" (2), "Power Ponies" (3), and "Three's A Crowd" (2). Prince Silversaddle (talk) 23:20, March 26, 2014 (UTC)
• First time in the series where multiple words end in a derivational suffix ("tion"). Prince Silversaddle (talk) 21:30, March 21, 2014 (UTC)
• First Rarity and Spike episode in the series. Prince Silversaddle (talk) 15:38, March 21, 2014 (UTC)
  • If you ask me, A Dog and Pony Show was actually both a Spike and Rarity episode. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 15:40, March 21, 2014 (UTC)
    • And to a lesser extent, Secret of My Excess.   15:42, March 21, 2014 (UTC)
      • Oops. It seems like I forgot those two. So this is actually their third episode together since "Secret of My Excess". Thank you for the info, Mega and Imperfect. Prince Silversaddle (talk) 16:42, March 21, 2014 (UTC)
        • No prob! ^_^ --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 17:22, March 21, 2014 (UTC)
    • This is their first episode together with extended interaction. They spent the majority of "A Dog and Pony Show" separated from one another, and Rarity's role in "Secret of My Excess", while important, didn't take up a particularly large portion of the episode. - Raymondluxuryacht (talk) 19:40, April 26, 2014 (UTC)
• Third episode Spike commented on Owlowiscious' "Whoing" after Owl's Well That Ends Well and Just for Sidekicks. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 13:51, April 25, 2014 (UTC)
• Third appearance of Octavia. - Jasonbres (talk) 14:54, April 26, 2014 (UTC)

      • And the first time she's seen outside of Canterlot. - Raymondluxuryacht (talk) 19:55, May 3, 2014 (UTC)
• First time Rarity and Sweetie Belle's father is seen without his hat in the series, confirming that he is indeed a unicorn. -Raymondluxuryacht (talk) 18:58, April 26, 2014 (UTC)
  • He was confirmed a unicorn since the release of the Elements of Harmony guidebook.   19:42, April 26, 2014 (UTC)
    • Yes, but this is the first time he's been shown to be one in the series proper. - Raymondluxuryacht (talk) 22:16, April 26, 2014 (UTC)
• First time Rarity uses dark magic. - Raymondluxuryacht (talk) 19:40, April 26, 2014 (UTC)

•  Second episode in which a member of the Mane Six acts as an antagonist, the first being Lesson Zero. --Scrounge (talk) 20:57, January 17, 2016 (UTC)

Equestria Games

• The one and only episode on season 4 where Celestia and Luna appear but doesn't have speaking role. (I know they both saying "you guess?" with the other characters. But their sound cannot be heard and not listed in credits either). Rivals_7 (talk )
• Third event based episode title after Winter Wrap Up and Sisterhooves Social. Prince Silversaddle (talk) 13:26, March 26, 2014 (UTC)
  • Fifth -- Hearth's Warming Eve and Hearts and Hooves Day.   15:26, March 26, 2014 (UTC)
    • Those two are holidays, not events. Prince Silversaddle (talk) 03:59, March 27, 2014 (UTC)
      • By that logic, Winter Wrap Up is also a holiday (at one point, Twilight Sparkle refers to it as "Winter Wrap Up day").   06:35, April 5, 2014 (UTC)
• First episode to feature the Equestria Games event. Prince Silversaddle (talk) 17:35, April 4, 2014 (UTC)
• Fourth appearance of griffons. First being Gilda in "Griffon the Brush Off", second being Gustave le Grand in "MMMystery on the Friendship Express", and third in "Rainbow Falls". Prince Silversaddle (talk) 06:05, April 8, 2014 (UTC)
• First episode to have Equestria in an episode title. Prince Silversaddle (talk) 13:33, March 26, 2014 (UTC)
  • Not counting Equestria Girls, of course. - Jasonbres (talk) 13:36, March 26, 2014 (UTC)

• First episode (excluding Equestria Girls, where all four princesses (Twilight, Cadance, Luna, and Celestia) are seen together. - Jasonbres (talk) 17:49, May 2, 2014 (UTC)
  • In fact, this episode has the most amount of royalty characters appearing: Celestia, Luna, Cadance, Twilight, Shining Armor, Prince Blueblood, and the ponies from Saddle Arabia! --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 01:21, May 3, 2014 (UTC)
    • Oh, BTW, this is the second episode all four princesses appeared together. Don't forget Magical Mystery Cure! ;) --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 01:22, May 3, 2014 (UTC)
• Third episode Ms. Harshwhinny appears, and third episode Prince Blueblood appears not in a flashback or vision. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 01:21, May 3, 2014 (UTC)
  • Also third episode Ms. Peachbottom appears, second episode Cheese Sandwich and Gilda appears, and fourth episode for Octavia Melody and Twilight's parents. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 05:53, May 3, 2014 (UTC)
• Second appearance of the ponies from Saddle Arabia. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 01:24, May 3, 2014 (UTC)

• This is the first episode on season 4 where The Crystal Empire is the main setting of the episode.Rivals_7 (talk )

• First episode where Octavia is seen without her cello. - Jasonbres (talk) 16:58, May 3, 2014 (UTC)
• First appearance of Shining Armor since "Magical Mystery Cure", and his first appearance where he doesn't interact with Twilight or Cadance. - Raymondluxuryacht (talk) 20:02, May 3, 2014 (UTC)
  • Looking back at Games Ponies Play, Shining didn't interact with Cadance then either. So they really haven't been seen talking to eachother since the Crystal Empire episodes. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 16:33, July 20, 2014 (UTC)

Twilight's Kingdom - Part 1

  • Why are you counting two-parters as single appearances? If a character appears in one part of a two-parter but not the other, is that half an appearance? (:P)   05:19, April 6, 2014 (UTC)
    • Fixed. Prince Silversaddle (talk) 06:03, April 6, 2014 (UTC)
• These episodes seem pretty similar to those of Princess Twilight Parts 1 and 2 because it involves the Man ne 6 and Spike attempting to save the day, the royal pony sisters get in trouble, the old castle appears, the chest of harmony plays a major part, and Discord gets in the way.
• Second time Celestia and Cadance sing and the first time Luna sings. - Jasonbres (talk) 13:49, May 6, 2014 (UTC)
• First time Twilight is clearly heard singing since "Magical Mystery Cure". - Raymondluxuryacht (talk) 22:51, May 10, 2014 (UTC)
• Second appearance of Spike's crystal statue. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 19:02, May 10, 2014 (UTC)
• Third appearance of Discord's lamp after Keep Calm and Flutter On and Trade Ya!. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 19:55, May 10, 2014 (UTC)
• Second time Flash Sentry appears in the series and the first time he speaks in the series. - Jasonbres (talk) 14:46, May 14, 2014 (UTC)
• First time Princess Luna sings.Perfect Sige (talk) 05:53, May 17, 2014 (UTC)
• Eleventh time Twilight isn't seen flying, and the first time for a 2-parter. Fear Not! (talk) 03:07, April 9, 2016 (UTC)

Twilight's Kingdom - Part 2

• First time all 4 Princesses (Celestia, Luna, Cadance, and Twilight Sparkle) make an appearance in a two-part season finale. Second if counting the "My Little Pony Equestria Girls" movie. {"Magical Mystery Cure" doesn't count cause that episode was the first part of a three-part story with the two-part season four premiere serving as Part 2 and 3 respectively.} Prince Silversaddle (talk) 13:20, April 5, 2014 (UTC)
  • That's assuming Cadance appears in this episode -- the official synopsis makes it unclear.   05:16, April 6, 2014 (UTC)
    • She is. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 19:56, April 16, 2014 (UTC)
      • Actually, this will either be the second or third, since all four princesses appear at the Equestria Games. - Jasonbres (talk) 17:45, May 2, 2014 (UTC)
        • Actually, third or fourth. Don't forget Magical Mystery Cure! --Mega Sean 45 (talk)01:23, May 3, 2014 (UTC)
          • Jasonbres and Mega Sean 45. He clearly stated that this is the first time that all four alicorn princesses made an appearance in a two-part season finale and that "Magical Mystery Cure" didn't count because that was only Part 1 of a three-part story with the two-part season four premiere being parts 2 and 3. Prince Goldstreak (talk) 16:46, November 28, 2014 (UTC)
• The fifth episode to end with a song after "A Friend in Deed" (Cranky Doodle Joy), "A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2" (Love is in Bloom), "The Crystal Empire - Part 2" (The Success Song), and "Magical Mystery Cure" (Life in Equestria). Third overall after the second half of the season two finale and season three premiere. --Prince Goldstreak (talk) 12:23, December 23, 2014 (UTC)
• Coco Pommel's third appearance. - ClaudeLib (talk) 18:31, May 11, 2014 (UTC)
  • And third appearance of Cheese Sandwich, Silver Shill, and Breezies (counting the flashback in the last episode). --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 19:02, May 10, 2014 (UTC)
• The only one episode so far that feature an one-on-one battle against main antagonist. ~~Rivals_7 (talk ) 13:52, May 12, 2014 (UTC)
• Second episode Snails appears without Snips. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 19:02, May 10, 2014 (UTC)
• This episode so far shows the most amount of supportive characters that appeared in the past: Cutie Mark Crusaders, Big McIntosh, Granny Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Cake, Zecora, Mayor Mare, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, the princesses, Shining Armor, Discord, Braeburn, Bulk Biceps, and the Wonderbolts. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 19:02, May 10, 2014 (UTC)
• Second episode Discord feels sorry for himself after Keep Calm and Flutter On. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 19:06, May 10, 2014 (UTC)
• The final appearance of Golden Oak Library. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 19:06, May 10, 2014 (UTC)
  • And in turn, the first appearance of Twilight's Castle, or whatever the official name is. --  Heeeeyyyy, everybody! It's Meester Tweester!   00:25, May 11, 2014 (UTC)
    • I call it the Castle of Friendship. I'm making that a nomination for a name! --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 03:29, May 11, 2014 (UTC)
      • Well, from what I've learned, we have to hunt for a canon source, then we get to decide if we can't find anything. Or we choose something boringly generic, i.e. Twilight's Castle. --  Heeeeyyyy, everybody! It's Meester Tweester!   09:36, May 11, 2014 (UTC)
• The only finale so far that didn't end in Canterlot. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 20:06, May 10, 2014 (UTC)
• The third time the map of Equestria is seen, and the second time it is seen in full color after Pinkie Pride. (It was seen in black and parchment in Daring Don't). - Jasonbres (talk) 15:43, May 11, 2014 (UTC)
  • Or is it the fourth? Was the map in Pinkie Apple Pie a full map or just a select section? - Jasonbres (talk) 15:44, May 11, 2014 (UTC)
    • It was just a gray map with a bunch of lines and triangles. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 17:58, May 11, 2014 (UTC)
• Final episode to air on the Hub Network before its takeover by Discovery. - Jasonbres (talk) 11:55, September 25, 2014 (UTC)
  • Both this part alongside Part 1 are the final episodes to air on the Hub Network. Prince Goldstreak (talk) 09:17, November 28, 2014 (UTC)
  • Speaking of that (not a reply, btw, but an addendum), here is a pretty good summary of what's gonna happen.-- Jonny Manz^talk_contribs^e-mail_{edit count} 07:37, September 27, 2014 (UTC) 
• Third time Celestia's mane isn't waving (after A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2 and Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 2). Xannot ^Talk 08:29, March 7, 2015 (UTC)
• Sixth time we see somepony manipulate the celestial bodies (Celestia in The Cutie Mark Chronicles's flashback, Luna thrice in Season 4 premiere 2-parter, Celestia once in said premiere, and now Twilight). Xannot ^Talk 08:37, March 7, 2015 (UTC)
