The goal for this theory was to have a plausible foundation with a somewhat crazy conclusion for April Fools that included a derproll. I did introduce elements I have wanted to touch on and I took it from some real observations I have written down.

>Wow, you have looked all that far into the lines when authors didnĀ“t imagine to go into that route. Even if the theory turns out to sound ridiculous, I have to cherish that merit to look at the script with a magnifying glass.
Season 1 and Season 2 eps are naturally the ones I've combed through the most and sometimes I do find stuff that surprises me. Early days any of these sometimes conflicting implications would be fanfic fuel but now many are forgotten and a few weren't terribly known in the "golden age". Most I saw on the Spike thrown away line of him on Canterlot business was people considering a excuse to get rid of him for the ep (which is probably true). One fic may have touched on it. I still think it is interesting to look through as sometimes some Season 1 stuff still has a bit of lore implications of old intent. Like Faust not wanting too much tech and therefore insisting the train be pulled by horses (yet even then we still saw stuff like modern paper and Twi's mad scientist computer). Through it obviously wasn't as developed as unified story, more of just a vision for the world and some intent for how it worked on some level. Just as much is early inconsistencies from what was a children's show without that in mind. Which brings me too...

>only in those seasons though? Make New Friends But Keep Discord, Celestial Advice, A Bird in the Hoof or The Best Night Ever say hi (I am undecided to add Horse Play to the list though)?
That's part of a debate I've been having but I was taking an conservative route since I was talking about Celestia as a master plan manipulator and not just a troll with a funny streak. Season 4 has this the most undisputedly implied in my opinion. It gave a subtext that she brought Discord back to fight Terik and said she had prophetic dreams. Season 3 had hints and Season 4 directly built on that as opposed to it being a little more muddled. I've seen some argue that some lines in Season 7 undermine this (which I wasn't sure I agreed with but would need to rewatch as I consider myself weakest on Season 7 and Season 5). So I wanted to play it "safe" there.

>explain this
Oh I forgot to include a joke that Trixie was also possibly Chrysalis or one of her minions.

>I disagree that Chrysalis gets away with it all the time. While she got better over time at planning her strategies with a more cold headed mind (especially in the last season), she has had several fails whose net result was negative in every single aspect (the wedding, Thorax and even The Mean 6) so she gets away with it in the sense that she manages to appear over and over again.
That is what I meant that she survives, poorly worded as I was trying to say it in a conspiratorial and overly enthusiastic tone.
