The tears flowed freely with me as well

How about them incredible feels man. The song its self brought some tears back when I first heard it but combined with this beautiful animation it was hard not to cry my heart out, that scene where tia cries out in pain apon the realization of what just transpired was heart shattering.

I know right, it's pretty much spot on with my headcanon as well. I mean the voice I imagined Octavia might have been influenced by the combination of all the voices the Fandom has used, but for derpy it went strait passed perfect right into couldn't possibly be imagined any other way.

A unknown group of bronies have actually painstakingly reconstructed that Derpy scene frame by frame including the voice ripped from the original iTunes version and added it to the 1080p version, where the original iTunes one was only in 720p. It is available on on the web.

I have a copy of it and they did a really good job on the recreation, in fact they did so well that you can't even tell. So no need to worry, once the the internet gets a hold of something its impossible to remove.

And I wouldn't say that I get any enjoyment out of Twi's wings but I
tolerate them now, took all summer of using a folder filled with
alicorn Twi art as a screen saver and the occasional mental punishment
of imagining how sad Twilight would feel finding out I didn't like
her wings or scared of losing a friend over it.
I know its kind of sad I needed to do such things but I had really
strong feelings towards the change to her physical appearance. Even
today her unicorn form is my favorite version of her but I except her
as she is now. She will always be my favorite pony and that's
unbreakable.

I loved this episode even more then I did the season premier and I thought the premier was awesamazing. It even did a better job at making me feel more comfortable of Twilight's new status and appearance, didn't once think about it be cause I was to busy enjoying her adorkableness or all the other fun entertaining things going on. This episode was a blast to watch.

Did I mention how much I love Twilight? because their isn't enough hearts in the universe to show it, and Rarity is only a hoof behind her in my favorite pony list. So can't wait for Rarity's episode.

Man its good to be back in action after the long pony hiatus, such an awesome premier. I loved all the action going on specially the minor parts where the ponies gave a little kick here and their to a approaching vine like the library where AJ stomps the vine creeping up, It made everything seam to have some sort of commotion and seam less static during the heavy dialog scenes, hopefully what I'm trying to say makes sense?

And the feels from the flashback, it always did pluck my heartstrings when I thought about Celestia having to banishing her sister and what it must have been like or seeing artwork of her sadness at doing so. It was nice seeing Celestia's composer all broken for once, showing more emotions and adding some more to her character. That part just before she fired the friendship beam at her sister with tears in her eyes was pure gold, perhaps now Celestia will get a bit more love. The scenes with Twilight crying was quite Heart wrenching also, so much feels and only two episodes into season 4. I also loved the character interactions between the main six that was going on, seams like every new episode their interactions between them gets better.

Wasn't too keen on all the Princes Twilight stuff going on tho or the wings stuff, it all felt awkward to me, specially the Princesesy stuff Twilight had to go through. It seams things have changed a little bit and at times Twilight is going to have to be more Princess then one of the gang, I'm unsure how I feel about this new path shes going down.

The wings were just plain awkward for me and I didn't get much entertainment out of the learning to fly scenes, but perhaps just because of 3 seasons of Unicorn twily and they just stand out a lot after being use to her having non.

I Would like to say that it took me a great deal of effort to bring my self to an almost neutral stance on Twilight's wings. And in till 3 weeks ago when I finally finished re watching all 3 seasons did I finally let go, but just like having a favorite pony (which happens to be the great and adorkable Twilight) I have a favorite version of her. Shes still my favorite ether way.

Season 4 is going to be more awesome then my body can handle.

Me making friends? ha ha nope, been around for three seasons of pony and not a single friend made. That would require a skill I don't have, a better connection to the web so that I can socialize regularly without waiting hours for things to load, and a stronger will to find a way around my current limitations instead of giving up. My fate is to be lonely forever.

I will simply be celebrating the 23rd by watching the premier after I find a download that my phone is capable of utilizing.

I still like past Twilight better but I will support future Twilight for as far into the future as she is capable of going, because that is what one dose for their favorite pone.

I still think it quite reasonable for people to still not be in favor of Alicorn Twilight as long as they are civil about it, after all it not logical to expect everyone to have the same opinion or to change theirs because it conflicts with what is going to happen no matter what.
