What they did with Bon Bon was actually pretty clever. Her name in previous generations and in some trading cards was Sweetie Drops, and the fandom was sorta split on the two names, but Bon Bon usually won. Also, she was previously notorious for having more than 1 voice whenever she had a speaking role. Her being a secret agent would explain that.
Also, Steven Magnet was an automated YouTube subtitle for Sea Monster that stuck as a name.
people who say it's thorax are so wrong. Remember, thorax said he'd never had a friend before, that changeling must've been friends with cranky or matilda to be there. Kevin was probably the first ever changeling to make a friend
I know people are saying it's Thorax, but Kevin there looks significantly different from Thorax, he's more blueish and his ears and tail look slightly different.
Then again, Season 1 Luna is the same character as the current Luna, so...
Many people consider it the worst, mostly because of the pandas. But being a special episode, made specifically to appreciate the fans, I don't see there's anything wrong with fan pandering, especially if it fits the story very well. And the message at the end was one of the most powerful ones in this series. So I don't quite get all that hate.
19:38 "I cooked them up and ate them" is a direct quote from Ponies with Hats - a fan animation in which Bon Bon admonishes Lyra for brutally killing a human to eat his hands. I still can't believe that line got on the show.
8:58 "I don't know who this is." Amethyst Star, aka Sparkler. She was the mare with the stubborn peanut butter jar in Mysterious Mare Do Well (s2e08). She was also the animal team leader during Winter Wrap Up (s1e11), so she wasn't lying when she said used to be the best organizer in Ponyville.
@@Longma1 I tend to blame the lack of organizational skill at the top level, by the mayor, for that. Although, I am admittedly biased; I find Amethyst a lot cuter than Mayor Mare. ;)
I wouldn't really call it a spoiler, 'cause let's be honest, we all knew it'd happen. There's a lot more ships that were confirmed in the finale that people will talk about. (Not going to say who obviously, duh)
Bonbon being a secret agent was actually one of the fan explanations for why every time she showed up she had a different voice actor. But one thing that is absolutely hilarious is her turn out to be the crazy one of the two was actually a surprise because most of the fandom would’ve expected the Lyra because she’s famous in the fandom for being fascinated with humans and more specifically their hands.
I love at the begining everyone's like Hey Derpy speaks! and then everyone is like OH MY GOD when she continues to do so and then comes the Doctor and then, mind blown .
Real story: Nowacking herself was asked to do it but declined because she wouldn't've been able to make anymore brony content; no one else was considered.
They should have had him regenerate in the show. Though his home is not shown to be dimensionally transcendental and doesn't seem to be organic, unlike the TARDIS...
Things you didn't understand you can learn from bronies react reaction of this episode, like I did! Every reactor just gets stunned when Gummy starts monologing. Gummy for president!

This episode is nuts! You should react to bronies react episode 100, its really funny and it will help you understand some of the references. Lyra and Bonbon is one of the most popular ships in the fandom and for a good reason to.
In a nutshell, this episode is amazing, one of the best highlights of S5 and the series as a whole. A whole episode dedicated to the background characters of MLP, thank you M.A. Larson (seriously though)!
5:14 Dr. Whooves: "Ever since a particularly traumatic experience as a foal, I've been looking for ways to make sense of the world around me." PonyBro: "Vague." I think I heard that in an earlier draft of the script, it might have been a bowling-related accident.
I'm still trying to figure out why everyone keeps calling her vinyl when her name is DJ-pon 3. All of the toys say so as well as the couple of times that they have used her name. Everyone calling her by the wrong name has been driving me insane.
-Derpy is super adorable in this episode. So glad she finally got some due recognition after her controversy in season 2. -Dr. Whooves is full of references in this show. In here, some major ones are him saying "Allons y", the scarf that he wears to the wedding (4th doctor I believe?), and at 6:08 "It's like a big ball of wibbly wobbly timey wimey...stuff." -Secret agents master several dialects in order to blend in with a crowd. Now we know why Bonbon's voice changes all the time. -Lyra and Bonbon say "best friend" in a way that really sounds like...more, is implied. It's like they really wanted to say what they're really up to but can't. You could tell it was on the tips of their tongues. -They did a great job at making Octavia sound similar to how she does in fan works, but I don't know if they could do the same for Vinyl. Maybe it's for the best that she's silent. It's actually kind a unique quirk because she's so focused on her music. -Celestia and Luna arguing like actual siblings.
-I guess out of any place a changeling showed up, a wedding is the perfect place. Plenty of love there. Free food.
< I don't know if they could do the same for Vinyl. Maybe it's for the best that she's silent. It's actually kind a unique quirk because she's so focused on her music.
Nowacking was the only person they contacted; she declined because she wouldn't've been able to voice act in anymore fan animations otherwise.
This is a great episode. The concept of bring background characters to the foreground is great. The references are great. Wow Gummy really has some existential discussions.
21:55 "Is no one gonna mention the goddamn changeling?" I can't remember whether his name was Kevin, or Steve. Also not sure whether it was the fans who gave him that name, or Larson.
There are a lot of great factoids about the production of this episode on both its Wikipedia page as well as its Friendship is Magic Wiki page. You should read them both sometime. A couple that I didn’t notice anyone mentioning: *Originally, Amy Keating Rogers was slated to write this episode, but due to scheduling conflicts, she switched for The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone with Larson. *Larson’s original ending for the episode called for the camera to pan to the horizon, where it would show a changeling army starting to crest over it before fading to black. *Electric cellist Tina Guo was brought on board to play for Octavia’s part in that whole sequence. Additionally, there were scenes featuring other supporting characters getting a shout-out that ended up cut for time. It really is fascinating, this episode.
Oh, goodness, this episode. What to say? So, yes, the Bowling Alley ponies are a reference to the main characters from the Big Lebowski. And if you thought there was something going on between Lyra and BonBon in this episode . . . juuuuust wait. <.< ;)
Oh! And, yeah. Now you've seen this, I feel safe in saying: I would pay money to see an entire series following these characters.
Yeah, I doubt they could've gotten Nowacking to do it. Besides, Jesse is trans now, so his voice is a lot deeper than it was when he voiced Vinyl. Good memories though. Eliemonty is the fandom voice for Octavia, and canon Octavia's voice is pretty close to that. Also, I do quite like the mute Vinyl theory.
Check the fan works before saying this but Bronies React did a reaction to this episode and they will point out a lot of the references you may have missed and is funny regardless
15:24 "These two are shipped together a lot, aren't they?" Let's put it this way: This wasn't the first time Vinyl and Octavia have made beautiful music together. ;)
This episode is a little overrated. Dont get me wrong, is a good episode and is funny that is a brony episode, but i think that in season 5 we have much more better episodes than this one.

18 likesWhile many favor Doctor Whooves and Derpy, Lyra and Bon Bon, etc.
Being a pianist, my personal favorite duo is Vinyl and Octavia because of my fondness of playing music.

@twist58 ok, thank you at least now I know where it came from. that makes sense.
0 likes@@Melody-burbonite4life Vinyl is the fandom name and Hasbro themselves is aware of this. So it can be said either way.
0 likesI'm still trying to figure out why everyone keeps calling her vinyl when her name is DJ-pon 3. All of the toys say so as well as the couple of times that they have used her name. Everyone calling her by the wrong name has been driving me insane.
0 likes-Derpy is super adorable in this episode. So glad she finally got some due recognition after her controversy in season 2.
5 likes-Dr. Whooves is full of references in this show. In here, some major ones are him saying "Allons y", the scarf that he wears to the wedding (4th doctor I believe?), and at 6:08 "It's like a big ball of wibbly wobbly timey wimey...stuff."
-Secret agents master several dialects in order to blend in with a crowd. Now we know why Bonbon's voice changes all the time.
-Lyra and Bonbon say "best friend" in a way that really sounds like...more, is implied. It's like they really wanted to say what they're really up to but can't. You could tell it was on the tips of their tongues.
-They did a great job at making Octavia sound similar to how she does in fan works, but I don't know if they could do the same for Vinyl. Maybe it's for the best that she's silent. It's actually kind a unique quirk because she's so focused on her music.
-Celestia and Luna arguing like actual siblings.
-I guess out of any place a changeling showed up, a wedding is the perfect place. Plenty of love there. Free food.

There are a lot of great factoids about the production of this episode on both its Wikipedia page as well as its Friendship is Magic Wiki page. You should read them both sometime. A couple that I didn’t notice anyone mentioning:
1 like*Originally, Amy Keating Rogers was slated to write this episode, but due to scheduling conflicts, she switched for The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone with Larson.
*Larson’s original ending for the episode called for the camera to pan to the horizon, where it would show a changeling army starting to crest over it before fading to black.
*Electric cellist Tina Guo was brought on board to play for Octavia’s part in that whole sequence.
Additionally, there were scenes featuring other supporting characters getting a shout-out that ended up cut for time. It really is fascinating, this episode.
Yes, those three bowlers are references to the Big Lebowski.
1 likeThe purple pony that Matilda enlists as her party planner, is called Amethyst Star
1 like20:23 yes it is this character is a reference to doctor who.
0 likesThe scarf aswell
17:50 If you put on 0.25x speed and pause at the right time you will see real life humans with horse masks
1 likeApparently the Derpy voice was based on a friend, Tabitha St. Germain, had as a kid who was described as a giggly bumbling friend
0 likesI love this episode and I like Lyra and Bon Bon.
3 likesOh, goodness, this episode. What to say? So, yes, the Bowling Alley ponies are a reference to the main characters from the Big Lebowski. And if you thought there was something going on between Lyra and BonBon in this episode . . . juuuuust wait. <.< ;)
0 likesOh! And, yeah. Now you've seen this, I feel safe in saying: I would pay money to see an entire series following these characters.
@PonyBro I Guess
0 likesThe scarf is a reference to one of the classic Doctor Who characters and the 'Alonsie' is a word one of them says too.
This episode (episode 100) is pure fan service. But it's done well. A nice goof off episode to reward everyone.
1 likeAs for Vinyl being mute.
8 likesThe fandom would have a fit if it wasn’t Jessie Nowacking voicing her.
She has voiced the fandom Vinyl for years

Forsaken Fenix
1 likeYeah, I doubt they could've gotten Nowacking to do it. Besides, Jesse is trans now, so his voice is a lot deeper than it was when he voiced Vinyl. Good memories though. Eliemonty is the fandom voice for Octavia, and canon Octavia's voice is pretty close to that. Also, I do quite like the mute Vinyl theory.
Go back to the moment before Gummy's monologue and pause for a certain image.... you'll know it when you see it.
