This is probably something that has been said before but I want a episode explaining Alicorns and their origins. Also it would be really awesome to see a episode where Celestia and Luna interact through the whole 22 minutes. Like maybe they have to go somewhere for royal reasons or maybe just hanging out. One thing is for sure, more princess screen time is needed especially Luna. Well...in my opinion at least. Oh!; and some more Shining Armor and Cadence would be amazing as well!

An Alicorn episode would be cool. Pretty much anything with Celestia/Luna's origin would be awesome.

I'd love to see an episode where the ponies are defeated and Princess Luna has to transform into Nightmare Moon to help defeat [Villain].

Or an Flash-Forward episode that shows the CMC's in the future but cleverly hides their cutie marks the entire time. :gotcha:

Yeah, I hope we get a Luna and Chrysalis showdown.

Villain! I have come to stop thy wretched acts!

Stop me?

HAHAHAHAHA...

This would be awesome!

Part of me wants a time travel episode where the cast meets Star Swirl, a younger luna and celestia (perhaps they don't recognize them?) and end up helping them find the elements to defeat Discord. Episode ends with Twilight thinking to warn about Luna's corruption just as the portal closes.

That wouldn't cause too many continuity holes would it?

Time travel almost always leads to too many continuity holes.

"It's About Time" is probably about as far as they should go with time travel. If Star Swirl ever shows up, it should be in flashback.

(And he should be voiced by Patrick Stewart.)

And if we see younger Luna and Celestia they should look the same, like in the Family Appreciation Day flashback. Makes them more awesome.

And it's really just her in her Halloween costume, yammering incoherently about her friends and the adventures they've had so far in an attempt to get Celestia to recognize her.

She finds her way back and Equestria develops according to Galaxy Quest rules.

More Star Swirl.

It would be pretty great to have an episode that deals with time travel, but I wouldn't want the main 6 to interfere (or be the focus of anything) if they were there. It'd be a lot cooler if we just got to see Celestia/Luna and Discord or something. Flashbacks could be an easy way to do this that would make sense and not cause too much problems in the line of continuity.

I want Flutter's relatives to be either completely mystified by her or just total hippies to the point where they embarrass even her.

Until her parents finally show up, I imagine Flut's dad to be extremely scary and intimidating to the point that even Rainbow Dash is scared of him. He's actually a nice guy, tho, and he's close to his daughter.

I kinda would like Flut's parents to be normal run-of-the-mill ponies, *maybe* also animal lovers a bit. Also, they need to be asked how they came up with the name Fluttershy, just to see if they try to in-universe justify the most Hasbro'd name of the Mane 6 or make a meta joke out of it. :gotcha:

"When you're dealing with time travel it's important to establish who's rules are in play. Is this 12 Monkeys rules where you can't change shit? Or Back to the Future rules where you can change shit, but the timeline is kind of easy-going about it? Or Terminator rules where you can change shit, but maybe you can't change shit and then you make a god-awful TV series and Christian Bale yells at someone?"- Yahtzee

I'm gonna repeat my prediction from earlier in this thread that Fluttershy is the extrovert of her family. Fluttermom and Flutterdad just sit in a darkened corner all day and sip tea, staring wordlessly at one another.
