Been gazing into any pools lately that we're not aware of?

For someone who feels Pinkie Pie Is Worst Pony, that was going to be a painful one. (I just pictured Cranky locking himself in his house during this and not coming out for six months.) One of the show's employes said he dreamed in her voice for three weeks, and at least it didn't happen to you. But now it's over and you never have to worry about it again. Until someone tries to create Laughter Shock Troops. And thus we will know the ultimate evil. And then some.

Fair Using Sun_Tzu at RPGnet on the G3 moment:

Funbot #12: "Look upon my true visage!" *becomes G3*

In Canterlot:
God-Queen Luna: "Sister...Did you...feel that?"
God-Queen Celestia: *frowns*
God-Queen Celestia: "The Corruption."

Rarity: "MY EYEEEEES!"
Applejack: "MAH BRAAAAAAIN!"
Fluttershy: "MY SOUUUUUUL!"
Rainbow Dash: "BANISH IT, TWILIGHT! BANISH IT, FOR THE LOVE OF CELESTIA!"
Twilight: "No."
Spike: "What? WHY?!"
Twilight: "It would be an unspeakable cruelty to inflict this...thing... on the other side of reality. I will not send it back there."
Twilight: "I WILL DESTROY IT!"

(Full episode review at http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?659306-Where-I-Watch-My-Little-Pony-7-Celestia-Forgives-Your-Sins/page36 One gets the impression G3 did not go over well.)

BTW, turns out there's one more franchise joke in this episode. For the original ponies (Generation #1, 1982), babies were had by --

(wait for it)

-- staring into a special mirror and wishing really hard.

Apparently it was the Eighties. Or something.

Word Of Faust: G4 ponies have normal pregnancies which come about in the usual way. And we've seen that a unicorn foal has a small horn at birth. OW!
