Why wasn't this here yet. One of the best pony pictures I've seen in long time.
Also there is clip from next episode in EqD. Seems like it will be interesting one. Too bad I won't be able to see the livestream, have to wait for the 720 Youtubes.
This new episode was really cool, but it raises a few questions about the Equestrian timeline. I'm not sure if we'll get a definitive answer anytime soon, but from what I can figure it goes like this:
1) Earth Ponies, Pegasi, and Unicorns are separate tribes 2) Blizzard comes, the three tribes move to a new location 3) Tribes settle their differences and found Equestria 4) Discord moves in sometime afterward (or perhaps he was always there to begin with) and brings endless chaos 5) Celestia and Luna arrive and turn Discord to stone 6) Golden age of Equestria, until Luna becomes Nightmare Moon 7) 1000 years of just Celestia 8) Twilight Sparkle and her friends defeat Nightmare Moon and subsequently Discord 9) Present
I wouldn't take anything in the play as canon. It's not like modern Christmas plays are exactly forthcoming about the fact that the holiday is just an assimilation of ancient pagan winter solstice rituals.
That song needed to be much more than forty seconds long, because it was awesome.
Also, the peasant outfits were greatly amusing, as was the pony-armor.
I like how they mentioned Star-swirl the Bearded again, but I think it's more likely that Celestia would have forced the tribes to bond than they would have on their own.
Perhaps the Windigoes were a sort of Discord-precursor, and eventually fused/grew powerful enough to bend reality. To explain how there was more discord after the founding of Equestria than before: population expansion. Also wars with griffons/dragons/rebellions etc. Or Discord came from outside Equestria, and I'm just bullshitting.
I don't think they have to do with Discord. Discord is more of a trickster god, who likes to make things crazy. The Windigoes were more just forces of nature that feed off the negative energy given to them.

Also, Applejack was dressed like an Archer from Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. =P
Also, more Fluttershy-Rainbow Dash interaction. Yay.
