Never been a huge fan of horses myself.

And they're very "manly," historically. Riding into battle and whatnot.

When did ponies become awesome?

Ponies and horses have always been awesome to 12 year old girls. Horses are large, muscular yet non-threatening servants who obey their every whim... food for thought, perhaps.

Right, because in history soldiers riding into battle on what were basically freight trains of the time are not threatening.

So... the Hub? What channel is that (as in the number)? I want to catch some ponies next week.

If you happen to have DirectTV and live in Upstate SC, then it's channel 294.
If not, you might consider the channel locator on the Hub's website.

Not going to be any ponies next week, though, so you have some time to find the channel. There were some posts about it a few pages back; they're having a small break for one week (IIRC), probably to keep up with deadlines.

We're not entirely sure it's just going to be one week, unfortunately, but it's what we're hoping.

Cavalry.  There is a reason we had them way back when.  Either way, suppose horses has appeal to both genders for different reasons... in a generic way.

I guess some amount of wishful thinking went into that post.

Seriously, I'm going to be really miffed if we get another long pony draught so soon after the summer.

I'd prefer it now, rather than halfway through the season (or having episodes rushed out faster than they need to be).

I loved the Star Wars homage at the end, complete with the repaired R2D2/Spike.

Ha, I didn't just imagine that!

...So Applejack ties up Fluttershy, then Fluttershy wants to try those new tricks on Rainbow Dash but is just too shy.  God, the fanfic fuel.  The adult appeal just keeps getting more adult and less subtle.  I once read a fanfic JUST like that, swear to Luna.

And Ponyville is restored by a double rainbow all the way.

Just some thoughts on Discords imprisonment. He was originally sealed by the elements and the alicorns way back before the original nightmare incident and until just now he had stayed trapped. The crusaders can't have been the first group of ponies to argue near his statue in the the last few millennium and the only change would seem to be the transfer of "ownership" of the elements to the main characters. Using the two things together would mean he will be trapped until the elements change hands again so likely not until many years in the future. The actually changing hands of the elements is not going to instantly make a difference of course as to be released he needs some "discord" to let him go free. Now this may not have to be directly from a  few ponies who are friends arguing near him though that is the only case currently known.

Another thing, I believe that Discord may have allowed himself to be defeated. As pointed out he does have the ability to go anywhere instantly to could theoretically  outrun the rainbow. There is also the fact that he let them use their attack without interrupting them. Another thing that would point to this is that after the bubble thing that Twilight does the land where it pops goes back to normal and Discord makes a face that could represent noticing this fact.
As for why Discord would want to be imprisoned is that he had already done what he wanted. He created utter chaos for a good bit and he honestly looked a little bored with it. Chaos is Chaos only because there is Order to define what chaos is not. If he just ran wild then he would lose meaning and purpose as a world without any order would be a world without chaos as well. He probably knows the limits of the imprisonment and if it is similar to what I hypothesize above then he also knows it is quite likely he will be free within a century to have more fun. Anyway he does not really represent "Chaos" and instead would be more like anarchy. True Chaos would be uninhabitable and for someone like Discord or Q the fun is always with messing with the mortals.

Luna: Lord Hasbro, what about me?
Darth Hasbro: You must never again show up in any episode.
Luna: That was never a condition of our agreement, nor was my non-appearance in the ending!
Darth Hasbro: Perhaps you feel you're being treated unfairly?
Luna: ...No.
Darth Hasbro: Good! It would be unfortunate if I had to remove you from Season One.

Blaarg, does anyone know the source of this rainbow dash?

I've looked all over deviant art, ponibooru, and google image search and found just about every other image they used for that short, but not this one.

(asking here since it's the most active pony thread I visit, heh)

Try e621.net (furry site similar to the *booru's, lots of porn but lots of ponies) and twentypercentcooler.net (a pony offshoot of e621, brand new but getting a lot of service from posters, naughty stuff's auto-blacklisted so SFW unless you follow links directly to images.)
