How ironic is it that on the first day of spring, it's going to snow heavily in much of the eastern U.S.?

Almost all badass heroic moments can be made even better with The Touch.
Interestingly enough, a mere 2-3 episodes prior Twilight concluded that all the old books in her library that she'd already read were still meaningful to her and worth holding on to because they made her who she was. Tirek's destruction of them, in fell swoop took that away. And given that it was the most reoccurring setting in the first four seasons, and was the home the audience saw most often, in its own way it was the 8th main character that was more or less killed off by the villain.Fuzzy Necromancer wrote:I certainly appreciate SFDebris's take on the destruction of the library, but for me, well...it was about stakes.
This is a G_Rated show. They can't murder anybody. They can't show gore.
The destruction of the library was as close as they could get to killing off a character to prove things are serious. It let Tirek hurt Twilight Sparkle in a way that no amount of implied peril or things-are-bad-until-the-status-quo-is-restored could do. He took something from her, and she can never, ever get it back.
Thanks! That was a pretty funny one.Independent George wrote:Well, now I have an excuse to link to some pony fic:
