It's been semi-confirmed that Lauren Faust has been to the /co/ board of 4chan. It's common knowledge that she does read (and often reply to) the comments left by the series' fans (and her fans) on her [[Deviant ART]] page. And yes, I know she has stepped down from her previous position as Executive Producer (I think she's Consulting Producer now...) It will be interesting to see how many references to the fandom, its memes and its [[Fanon]] will be in the second season...
 
== In "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E1/E01 Mare in Thethe Moon|Mare in the Moon]]'' we saw the [[Horsemen of the Apocalypse|Four Ponies of the Apocalypse]]. ==
There were four stars that moved closer to the moon, then they slid behind it and the Nightmare Moon design disappeared.
* Although there are lots of jokes by fans and [[Robot Chicken|other sources]], my guess is that, given the show's original [[Magical Girl|magical girl show]] premise, they really are a part of the program's story.
Line 303:
* Discord is [[A Wizard Did It|the wizard that did it]].
 
== [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2 E1/E01 The Return of Harmony Part 1|Both parts of]] [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2 E2/E02 The Return of Harmony Part 2|"The Return of Harmony"]] were meant to be the end of Season 1, and... ==
* Originally, there was never supposed to be a Season 2. Hasbro was going to collect the series onto a DVD, and "The Return of Harmony" was going to be the bonus material.
* [[Lauren Faust]], like everyone else, was surprised by the popularity of the program, and had already made plans to move on to other projects before the bronies appeared on the radar. She didn't leave the show at a whim; she had already signed contracts and now has other obligations she's required to fulfill.
Line 367:
== This series will spawn a movie. ==
It will probably be direct-to-DVD, but there will at some point be a full-length movie that will be made for this series. Perhaps several.
* One of the movies will not be an original movie, but a [[Compilation Movie]] made from "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E3/E03 The Ticket Master|The Ticket Master]]", "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 /E14 Suited for Success|Suited For Success]]", and "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 /E26 The Best Night Ever|The Best Night Ever]]".
** Hasbro seems to have had a similar idea, as the Target-exclusive DVD ''Celebration at Canterlot'' contains "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E3/E03 The Ticket Master|The Ticket Master]]" and "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 /E14 Suited for Success|Suited For Success]]" (though not "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 /E26 The Best Night Ever|The Best Night Ever]]").
 
== Later seasons will have more Sondheim Shout Out songs. ==
Line 394:
* They could possibly be making a [[Spiritual Successor]] to the old UK story tape that included the famous "Who's a Silly Pony" song.
* [http://www.facebook.com/dannyimusic/posts/257320954315484 Daniel Ingram has implied that the song will be in an episode], but it may still be included on a soundtrack album, if one is ever released.
** It's in [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2 /E18 A Friend in Deed|"A Friend in Deed"]], so it is possible that a soundtrack would include it.
 
== One of the upcoming [[Shout Factory]] DVDs will include a full-length Equestria Girls music video. ==
Line 434:
== [[Futurama|Equestria is a real place, and Lauren Faust goes there to plagiarize events and ponies' lives into episode scripts.]] ==
 
== Twilight Sparkle was originally intended to actually be [[Put on a Bus to Hell]] at the end of "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2 E3/E03 Lesson Zero|Lesson Zero]]". ==
Twilight's [[Sanity Slippage]] would have been so severe that she'd be too far gone by the end of the episode and put in an insane asylum. Her friends, in her honor, vow to carry on her friendship research. The season finale would have a case of [[The Bus Came Back]], in that Twilight would somehow escape and her friends would've had to battle her. Eventually, she'll discover her friends' friendship reports, finally come to her senses, and have a tragic [[My God, What Have I Done?]] moment. She gives a heartfelt apology to everypony and promises to try to work on her neuroses.
