Found it, read it, loved it. So many Bowie references. And a pretty awesome way to tie in a Who villain.

12 Angry Men + My Little Pony?

Oh, hell yes!

[Zaerosz]

Okay, wow. That was... That was powerful. That was damn good.

[Jimmy]

Hmm, having already read the 12 Angry Men crossover I personally didn't find it that gripping. Maybe it was just me, but the writer didn't manage to get me to invest in the charged emotion of the scenes. Perhaps it was the fact I spent the whole fic trying to put faces to the numbers he used for names. There was enough detail to accurately guess who was speaking at any one time but overall it led me to become detached to the story itself.

Just found the desktop ponies. Rainbow dash is sleeping on a cloud! :3
Any kind of database for more ponies anywhere?

I had the same problem at first, but I just made a list with the numbers and the ponies they are after the first two pages or so. After a while, I didn't need it anymore, but it was fairly useful. For those who plan on reading the story:
1 - Rarity
2 - Rainbow Dash
3 - Pinkie Pie
4 - Applejack
5 - Twilight Sparkle
6 - Fluttershy

Blah, blah, I'm a week late with this, I know...

So episode 5 is up on the Hub website now.  Watched it today, and I was pretty pleased with it.  I'll agree with some of the comments I read back when it was new.  Applejack's character seemed spot on.  Rarity seemed close enough, but maybe I'm just not familiar enough with her character to know if she was out of character.  I also agree that the scene where she found the drawing by Sweetiebelle could have been done better, but it's a small quibble for the episode.  I did quite like the ending.

Rarity's parents weren't what I expected.  Not sure what I did expect, but that wasn't it.  Not that they're bad, but not the sort of characters I'd have thought Rarity would have for parents.  Maybe a good thing, there's potential there I think.

Her father is an interesting thing... I noticed people mentioned before that she had an interracial family, but is it actually that obvious that he's an earth pony?  I suppose his horn could be hidden under the hat or something.  I doubt it, but who knows.  I wonder if he's her biological father then, or step father?

If you watched the original movie, here's who's who from what I could tell so far.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Rarity = the guy with glasses who was one of the last to change his vote to not guilty
Rainbow Dash = the guy with the son and family issues
Pinkie Pie = the prejudiced guy
Applejack = the guy with the hat and wanted to go to the baseball game? some hints of the old man
Twilight Sparkle = the main first guy not to vote guilty?
Fluttershy = the old man?

Hey, idea. Rarity's parents are dead. Those are her adopted parents.

As always, Dsarker posts something that somehow involves death. Watch out, it won't be long before blood's involved.

I thought Rarity's parents were hilarious. Yes, they were probably just there for a one-time gag (although I really hope that's not the case), but they were so fittingly... unfitting.
I also didn't think Rarity was that out of character. We know that she takes her work very seriously and that she tends to bite off more than she can chew, so her getting increasingly annoyed at Sweetie Belle is actually in-character. Distorting her face probably isn't, but other than that I felt that it was spot-on.

[TheBronzePickle]

It's not like the three subspecies couldn't interbreed. If they couldn't, pony society would probably be quite a bit more segregated.

[Dsarker]

Nonono, TBP does the blood posts.

[Flying Dice]

I honestly had few issues with Rarity beyond the expressions (which were at least toned down from Lesson Zero) and the way the 'finding the picture' scene was handled.

[Dsarker]

I'm not worrying. They're getting better.

Oh, and Necro? That derail was hilarious.
