Discussion
“Trade Ya” is the newest episode, and the topic of this week’s discussion. Alca7raz and Nemesis talk about the ensemble episode, after spending a long time on the news. Things like the references they noticed, lampshade hanging, and new ponies that showed up. Oh, and Twilight actually doing princess stuff. Hooray for that! Oh, and more. Much more.
After that, they have a comic to talk about, particularly Micro-Series #4, the Twilight and Shining Armor issue. It isn’t too long, but the still point out some nice bits in the comic. Oh, and a blatant reference. So blatant that you’d have to be blind to miss it. And if you are… how are you reading the comic?
