Yes, yes you did. I have a theory that Firebrands Desert Base is really just a piece of desert that was made into a National Park and the base is in the middle of it, and thus its easy access.

You stuck that landing...painfully, but also living, plus the money that would’ve been used for airfare now goes to hospital bills...which would be about the same as long as you had insurance...(trying to find a positive)...you got home quick :P (also despite it being over a month since BronyCon, I wanted to thank you again for helping to make it more memorable for me. I never expected anyone that I followed to recognize me, and that really made it the most special convention I’ve ever been to [yes, more special than the time I met Steve Blum and talked to him using his Guilmon voice and he responded as Guilmon]. Again, thanks for helping making my BronyCon my favorite convention experience 😊)

Here's the rub: Everything I have heard is that Heath Ledger's death was unrelated to his role as The Joker, and primarily related to general sleep issues/sleeping pill issues. 2: Nightmare Moon could have used Celestia's power to make the moon life giving like the sun, so there's no day, and just eternal night. Thus, Earth Ponies can still grow things, but everyone is still subjugated by Nightmare Moon. 3: Celestia might have been trying to overact, keeping herself from being onstage. Or perhaps Celestia wasn't acting at first, and then played up how bad her acting was because she was pissed at Twilight. 4: ...Y'all women are hypocrites. EDIT: Yes, men are hypocrites in other ways too. Don't be That Guy.

About point #2, considering that, in Princess Twilight Sparkle Part 1, when Luna causes Eternal Night 1000 years ago, she does so through a solar eclipse that ends with the moon basically absorbing the sun, that seems to be exactly what happened. Also, in the Nightmare Moon timeline, the moon reflects Celestia's mane colors.

7:21 Fun Fact: The Moon doesn’t have its own light. It’s just reflecting off the sun. I guess people call it moon light because of either Werewolf tales, or because the moon looks like it’s own light source. But it’s just reflecting the suns light.

Have you guys thought that maybe the Equestrian Sun and Moon are like "magnifying glasses" that regulates or projects magic to Equestria? Like the world gets bathed in "cosmic magic" from the sun and moon regulates to so that it isn't destructivdme?

[@FanOfMostEverything]

This honestly made me reexamine this episode in a much more positive light. Thanks! Also, if you think the plant life situation is bad in the Nightmare timeline, imagine what they're doing for heat. My guess is enslaving the dragons.

I remember this quote: "Hypocrisy is in Voge." - Firebrand

I have nothing else to compare "Horse Play" with except maybe The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.
