My first time posting a episode thread...

It might seem a bit early to post, but since there are only several days left till the episode airs. I'm thinking that we could all share our opinion on what we will think will happen in the Premiere and Season 5 in general. From what I've seen so far, Season 5 is going to be HUGE! Something very big is going to happen this year, I'm very sure of it...

Alright everyone, discuss below ^^

Not a bad start. I can see some kinds of patterns developing.

For the most part, I thought that was a great start. An interesting concept, everything wasn't handled solely by Twilight, or even the Mane Six, and they've introduced a way of setting up arbitrary new action episodes. I'm concerned that this could lead to a season too heavy on Mane Six episodes, and I could have done without the "oh and fuck Spike" at both the beginning and end, but that's par for the course. And from another perspective, I worry that kids could internalize the message that forcing everyone to be the same is bad could be internalized as equality is bad, or that those who advocate equality in whatever sense are liars or want what the antagonist did.

I'm wondering how long it will be before Starlight/Chrysalis fics begin popping up.

This is the second Season that I've watched with the fandom and it looks like it's going to be a heck of a season ^^

A plot line is already established, with the magical artifacts and Starlight Glimmer. I'm sure we'll see more of her sometime later this year =D

Hopefully with a backstory or an established motive. She wasn't all that exciting of a villain, but she's got potential for the long term.

True, but then we have the other artifacts to think about...

Artifacts? Like the staff? Starlight admitted the Staff of Sameness was a fake. Or rather "just a piece of wood I found in the desert". Twilight hadn't even heard of there being a ninth. I don't think any of the eight artifacts are going to be making an appearance.

Well, let's just say that the artifacts are somehow part of the season arch. What do you think those artifacts are and will be?

Yeah, this image pretty much sums most of her up... I really think that she'll be back for the Finale...

So, here's a thought:
On the surface, Starlight's ideaology seems potentially a bit excessive for show Equestria; there's enough strife there to make it not devoid of applications, but whether there's really enough to warrant her methods is down to a matter of interpretation (particularly given the power loss, though what we saw may still have been a work in progress).
However, on reflection, there's one rather clear example she could have drawn inspiration from:
"You can't have a nightmare / If you never dream"
Now, what famous historical figure is associated both with great strife and suffering born from the envy of another's talent and with nightmares? I doubt that there's some sort of actual magical connection, but I'd not be surprised if it was one of the things Starlight had in mind when putting things together.

Oh, and here's another thought:  If Fluttershy had fully joined... what uses might the Stare have been put to, assuming that it wasn't connected to her cutie mark?

So, if Starlight does happen to be Celestia's former student, check out her track record.
Assuming she played a role in raising or teaching Luna, out of her students we know of, one became a demon intent on taking over the world and bringing eternal night, one became a cult leader obsessed with "equality" and surface cordiality over real friendship, one fled to another world where she became a demon intent on taking over the world, and Twilight was woefully unprepared to actually make friends and to the EoH deal with Nightmare Moon. I think that Celestia might not be a very good teacher, mentor, or role model.
