Mid December was the first time we saw a major leak for pony. It was around this time when Winter Wrap Up (the song) randomly ended up on Youtube two weeks before the episode aired. The amount of threads spawned wondering why Twilight Sparkle was singing about not having any magic actually ended up creating a mini fanon of it's own.
But this post is about Bridle Gossip, and the brand new character that came with it. Zecora was our first real foray into the foreign nations of Equestria. She brought a much needed cultural boom with her voodoo hut and rhyming speech patterns. I wouldn't say she was an instant fan favorite, but people definitely liked her.
Of course, we can't forget about the complete ridiculousness of the mane 6 afflicted with Poison Joke. Twilight's floppy horn was great, and Appletini corralling and Riding Dash spawned endless fanfics, but the second Flutterguy opened her mouth, the entire ponynet's collective jaws dropped. This show really was the greatest thing ever.
Anyway, head on down below the break for the usual video, and drop your initial reactions in the comments!
