My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1/E10 Swarm of the Century: Difference between revisions

** And Fluttershy holding onto just ''one'' of the parasprites while Applejack is leading the others out of Ponyville with a cartload of apples. As soon as she opens the door a ''tidal wave of parasprites come out of her house''.

** And Rainbow Dash's tornado seems like an effective way to control the parasprites, but Pinkie shows up at the wrong time with a pair of cymbals, which get sucked up and behave as flying buzzsaws, causing Dash to lose control. This in turn results in the tornado flinging the Parasprites ''right into Ponyville''.

* [[Poor Communication Kills]]: Goes both ways here. If Pinkie Pie had bothered to explain more about the parasprites before rushing off to find the instruments from the beginning, or if her friends weren't too caught up in their business to listen to her during the times she ''did'' try to explain, the damage wouldn't have been nearly as bad.

* [[The Power of Rock]]: Or in this case, oompah music.

** May count as Foreshadowing: ''Lesson Zero'' reveals that Twilight becomes ''very'' unstable when faced with the prospect of disappointing Celestia.

* [[Scenery Gorn]]: The parasprites reduce Ponyville to this.

** This entire episode is essentially a [[Whole-Plot Reference]] to [[Star Trek the Original Series|"The Trouble With Tribbles"]].

** The Parasprites start multiplying in numbers when Spike [[Gremlins|feeds one after midnight.]]
