Pinkie is learning to be more self-aware now, Maud is becoming more social, and Starlight has yet another new friend. Character growth all around.


5:54 Maud: "These are all really common gems."
PonyBro: "But they look so pretty-- Wait, why is Rarity crying?"
Because her name is Rarity.

Because her name is _Rarity._


11:10 Starlight: "You're messing with me."
Maud: "Am I?"
PonyBro: "God, is she?"
Never play poker with that mare.

It would not surprise me if Trixie heard about the Alicorn Amulet from Maud.

Trixie did work on the rock farm for awhile. And Maud would have still been living at home at that time.

Imagine if Maud told Chrysalis about the dark stone she used as her throne.

No joke: when Maud said that, my mind immediately went to the Alicorn Amulet and Chrysalis’s throne. The Elements of Harmony may also qualify.


11:33 “I like, MLP”

Nervous waiting

“I’m a brony too”

I love the amazingly chill friendship between Starlight & Maud.

Me to they are two of my favorite Characters ❤💥😍


Starlight: “You’re messing with me.”

Maud: “Am I?”

Me: Idk, it’s hard to tell?


17:36 - but then again, that shows just how much she loves her little sister: she'd rather just distance herself than dare to damage Pinkie's delicate-as-paper feelings


Bon Bon is like: "Get your bubblegum hooves off my girlfriend!"

Shritistrang And Pinkie officially lost it from there. Much lost than usual.


10:16 Maud: "It's not like she's enslaved anypony lately."
That depends.  Does mind control count?

@Coc0a Can3 "We don't talk about mind control, no no no~"  ;)


16:20 - that's factually correct, because Maud doesn't smile like that...her smiles are more stoic and reserved, but when they do happen, it means she really does like you ^_^

Maud seriously set the events of “The Cutie Map” into motion. Typical her.


01:44 Although I love crystals, I was never really interested in geology, and I thought it's boring. Until recently, when I learned that certain rocks contain metals and other useful chemicals that can be extracted from them. It made me curious about how people find those rocks, and I learned that this is precisely what geology is about :J  It tells you how those rocks form in nature, which gives you a hint on where you can find them :J  It's a very useful knowledge when it comes to bootstrapping civilization after some global cataclysm or in a post-nuke world. Or if you're into DIY and making your stuff yourself instead of buying it, to become less dependent on corporations :J  Kinda like Minecraft, but in real life ;)
05:15 Maud is one of those ponies who reply "the ceiling" when you ask them "what's up" :J
09:50 Hahah not only that ;D  She seems to be the sole mastermind behind the season 5 premiere and finale :)
10:15 Was that a complaint? ;J
11:03 Maud is the Sith Lord of the poniverse :J  If she managed to bait Starlight in this scene, they could have ruled the entire Galaxy :q
11:31 The way she said that looked soooo awkward :J  As if it were some embarrassing fetish :J  But at least that explains why is there so many kites in Starlight's bedroom ;J
12:25 Don't worry, it couldn't mess with her head any further, it could only make things better ;)  Also, FREE PIZZA :D
14:03 I get the Jules Verne's "Journey to the Center of the Earth" vibes from this one :>  And Disney's "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" ;)
15:24  MORE COWBELLS!!! :q
17:05 Another proof that Pinkie Pie is solar-powered :J
19:01 I love what they did with the background music in this one. It really builds up the tension and you can feel something bad is coming :>
19:30 And this little piece of symbolism, with those black crows flying away, kinda adds to the "bad omen" vibe :J
20:57 You see that "bonfire" made of rocks? :>  Those are the same rocks that we've seen in Snowfall Frost's laboratory, and Sunburst's house. It's a very interesting type of magic rock that gives heat and a bit of light, because they contain radioactive elements inside, and the rays they produce are then converted to heat by the surrounding minerals.
21:16 This pose kinda reminds me Rainbow Dash from the ending of "Turnabout Storm". They kinda look the same. (Well, at least the head part.)
23:25 Yeah, who would have expected that, and that they will make that good of a match together :>

What?  No comment on how Pinkie tried to take your marefriend at 7:36?

@@Narrator007 What there is to comment on? She borrowed Lyra out of a sudden and scared her a bit, but I quickly took her back ;) (Though I had to use some of my warmth to unfreeze her when we went back home, I admit ;J )


"You are messing with me."
"Am I?"

True ending of MLP:FiM ( Maud is ruling all of Equestria )


This is certainly an interesting episode. It’s always a pleasure to see Pinkie’s sisters on screen, especially Maud. I was knocked for a loop when Maud not only met Starlight before, but set things in motion for the events of the S5 premiere. That was nuts! I’m glad that Starlight became friends with Maud though. It’s nice that she’s expanding her circle of friends.


This episode is more packed with rock puns than silicated sandstone.


He's getting closer to my favorite  episode of the whole series and I can't wait to see his reaction to it.


The comment section needs more rock puns. 😉

Josh Blackwell Enough to let someone lose their marbles?

I will not take your suggestion for granite.

Sorry, can't think of any gneiss ones to use, they're all schist.

These puns are making me feel so sedimental


Love this episode. Always love episodes where Maud appears


Starlight in this video is like Twilight saying that she really likes books-


I honest to God would not be surprised if Maud would be able to control the Infinity Stones.


15:22 Just what this episode needed: More cowbell!  :D


You are just getting warmed up! This season gets so much better!


15:37 I never thought I'd see Maud looking annoyed.


man I thought I ship a lot but Pinkie shipping her sister, daaaamn girl


This is a really great episode. Pinkie Pie is pretty good. Maude and Starlight have a great dynamic. Derpy gets a cameo.

Maud, not Maude. Don’t worry, it’s a common mistake.


Maud helped starlights evil scheme... why is it pleases me so much?


Pinkie is certainly extra Pinkie in this episode.


I really don't like Starlight (except as a villain), but I think she was great in this episode. And Maud is always great - I love this episode.

Her villain self was pretty dumb no offense, she's a much better interesting pony now imo

@@oKiterrrr I like her reformed self because she's more relatable due to her social issues.


It's very unsettling that Pinkie has access to explosives. <br>...and how the hell does she know what her sister's feet taste like?

...and how the hell does she know what her sister's feet taste like?


Remember when Rainbow Dash got stuck in Ghastly Gorge racing the birds


Pinkie is...a chore in this episode. Definitely not written well.


19:43 - uuuh...how would you know what your sister's hooves taste like??

Actually, nvm, don't answer that.~


5:08 "I saw that ass shot. In that bow hat, f@$%ing perfect."
Matching sets of cleavage.  :)
