In celebration of the Season 2 Premiere, Lauren Faust has put up some original sketches on her DeviantART.  I'll comment on a few.

First off, Apple Bloom was originally named Appleseed.

Her name was changed due to copyright issues.

Second, when it was thought to put a Manticore in the two-part pilot, there was worry that such a creature would be too scary for kids.  So Lauren decided to tone it down a bit.

After presenting it, she was told it wasn't scary enough. (Make up your minds, ya hypocrites.)

Finally, originally, Fluttershy wasn't a Pegasus.

Not sure why they changed it, but with all they've done with Fluttershy, I'd say it was for the better.

Fluttershy was originally an Earth Pony while Pinkie Pie was originally a pegasus. They switched it around due to the contrast it made; Pegasus Pony who is more down to earth while an Earth Pony has just about as much energy, maybe even more than, a regular Pegasus Pony.

Plus, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie were originally going to be Posey and Surprise from the G1 Series, but due to copyright issues, they had to change it around.

Fun fact: The song that the scary balloons are singing (err, laughing?) is actually a reference to the opening theme of Happy Tree Friends.

Don't believe me?

Then allow me to blow your minds.

Um, not sure if this song has already been linked or something...

But am I the only one who thinks this remix of the "Cutie Mark Crusaders" is awesome?

Did anyone else notice that at the end of the premier, when Discord opened the umbrella (inside-out), that it meowed?

I want that umbrella!

Okay you MLP nerds, :p I've got the first episode of the long waited season two.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nn0j1PVk30k...vid=SL7S6YTJti8

I'm not a big fan of MLP but I don't mind contributing.

"I know there's much I can contribute, if given the chawnce." :lol
Petra is a variant of the Greek name "Petros" meaning "strong" or "rock." Andi is a variant of the Greek name "Andy" meaning "masculine" or "brave." Therefore, I am tremendously brave and strong! :lol

Yeah, I was actually wondering why the theme was not extended for the new episode.

A video about John De Lancie

A video about Star Trek's "Q"

Bronies have raided the comments section on BOTH videos. We have now officially taken control of the internet. :lol

Excuse me while I barf!  Sorry, but the idea just doesn't agree with me.

Yeah, that's what I thought when it didn't appear in the first one.  Oh well!  I'm patient. :)

EDIT: Oh, and it seems Discord has taken over Equestria Daily.

Um, can you give back those Elements of Harmony now, Discord?  We promise we won't use them immediately on you. :D
