Pony 411 - Episode 13
Here we are. Season 3 has finally premiered. We talk all about The Crystal Empire: what we liked, didn't like, and how it compares to other episodes. We also discuss the story arc that seems to have been established, and where we think it's going.
We also make a brief mention of the episode 6 synopsis and talk a little about the two season 3 commercials that aired. Alas, the usual quick hits and fan content are absent this week. But our usual format will return next week, bringing along a discussion of episode 3 and a review of the Gameloft MLP game.

Philly Bronies Season 3 Premiere
Copy Paste:
The Philadelphia Bronies had a season 3 premiere party at Drexel University in Philadelphia on November 10th. We had a lot of food including spring rolls, eggnog cookies, a cake, pony gummies, and sparkling apple cider. While waiting for the 1080p versions of the premiere episodes to download, we watched a few other episodes and were treated to some chiptunes made by one of our members. We also had games for various prizes as well as a raffle. Before the end of the party, many of us traded each other for various pony merch. After the party, some of us went to the local movie theater to see Wreck-It Ralph.
