Episode 2 Roots of All Evil Part 1
Oh, is Opaline’s tree corrupting all the other trees already? I mean, I guess we only have these two episodes to finish this up. We gotta get things going.
Hmm..well, the guard was ALREADY bad at his job before losing his cutie mark, so that doesn’t really tell us anything about what happens in G5 when you lose a cutie mark.
This escalated INCREDIBLY quickly.
Dapple! And Onyx! AGAIN! She lost her cutie mark twice?
Panic and run! Panic and run!
Jazz knows what’s up. Good to know she can keep a clear head when there’s danger about.
Yeah…okay…the dragons showing up out of nowhere isn’t going to calm things down.
I KNEW that the pony who sold me those “magic sunglasses” was lying!
I don’t think anyone but Sunny remembers anything about Spike.
Well, that’s the end of Sprout. He died as he lived…moist.
Sprout LIVES! With his mother again! Oh, he was doing so...eh, this actually might be a improvement for his life, I don't know.
“She was a alicorn!” But, like, a REAL alicorn! Not like you who only uses magic to LOOK like a alicorn!
You know, you’d think Jazz and Rocky’s boss would TELL them when she’s taking time off to save the world. Just a heads up or something, you know?
*SNERK* Okay, Izzy not thinking about Opaline being the one behind all this until NOW is kind of funny.
Izzy does not trust the crab. So be it. He is destined to be evil now. The gag WILL become canon. It is nerd law.
So, wait. If you can use the trees as portals, does that mean Scaly already has a Together Tree on it? We never saw one, but…hmm.
Pipp does not pay Jazz enough for this. She out.
“Without our cutie marks, we’re not ourselves” I don’t know, you’re all acting basically the same as far as I can tell. (Yes, that IS an insult)
Awww, Misty’s the one giving an inspirational speech. Our girl’s growing up! I guess she does sort of know everyone from her time watching them all from the shadows! Helping to plot their downfall! Please, don’t tell them about that part, Misty.
I want to see Izzy’s plan.
Pipp NEEDS her cutie mark, guys! It’s part of her brand!
It’s weird that the Dragon Stone drains dragons but the Unity Crystals don’t drain ponies. If Twilight created both, why is there a difference?
*SIGH* They’re literally calling Sparky “The One”. I swear, if Sparky saves the day with a giant burp, I’m going to be SO MAD.
Awww…Hitch gave Sparky his sheriff badge. I’m so split on this plot point. And Sparky resists the urge to eat it!
Actually, you’re just a bigger, easier target if you all group together. You really should have come up with a better plan than just standing in one spot...menacingly.
Zipp’s detective skills come into play one last time. Nice.
“She’s NOT friends with Elder Flower!?” Izzy continually missing the point somehow hasn’t gotten old, yet.
You know, that artwork looks like the Unity Crystals are actually supposed to be placed under the roots of a Together Tree to fully awaken it’s power or something. Or…to recreate the Elements of Harmony, perhaps?
Okay, if Opaline’s tree ISN’T a Together Tree then…is it something else or just a corrupted Together Tree?
“MY ESSENCE!” Oh no. Sprout. How will we go on. He had SUCH talent.
*SIGH* Hitch really should feel worse about this. This really was a terrible plan.
“Did you leave a message?” “SHE DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO CHECK HER MESSAGES!” *LOL* Oh…good stuff.
Izzy’s starting to get into action movie hero mode.
I mean…I don’t think Misty is suddenly a magic expert. I don’t know how she can positively KNOW Opaline can get enough magic to break any spell. But, it is a solid guess, anyway.
How’d the dragons even get in there? They look like they’re too big to fit in any of the hallways.
“Do you know what happens to a dragon…IN A DUNGEON?” They make really bad choices and alienate their fanbase?
Wait…how has Fountain ever been chained up in a dungeon? She was asleep for the past however how long, and before that all the races were friends. Who put her in a dungeon? (Oh...the fan art...)
Well, Opaline remembers Spike.
Well, either Sparky’s immune to mind control or Opaline needs to be aware of a dragon in order to take control of it.
Oh…Misty got kidnapped so Opaline could try and grow her Together Tree. I didn’t put that one together before this. Well done, show.
Oh…this is all (very indirectly) Misty’s fault. Oh…she’s not going to take this well.
Wait…Opaline’s Infinity Mark Necklace is made out of..a pumpkin? Random.
Is this the part where the crab betrays Hitch? NO! They sacrifice themselves for Hitch! This…might be the first time they’ve been useful.
“Warriors of Equestia! Come out to Play-ay”
Somehow, all the girls just sense that something is wrong with their man.
She only has 5 spots on her necklace, so I guess Opaline isn’t planning on getting Misty’s cutie mark. Of course…I don’t think she knows she has one yet?
