We need everything on the 4 clues to crack the clue . I don ' t think we need everything that ' s NOT on the 4 clues , to solve it . But nice thinking anyway <| sep |> That ' s not what killed perl , though . Something about 15 years before there was a perl 6 ready for public use . <| sep |> I do agree about the first part of what you said , Kar . I think flabbergasted was the wrong word , I should have said , bemused , or some such . I was thinking about realworld celebrities , and how so many lose touch with reality very quickly when they are surrounded by sycophants and insulated from ' averagepeople ' stuff . I know Celestia is better than that , but she probably hadn ' t had a ' real ' conversation with a pony in about 1000 years before the premiere . Even Twilight , who has spent the most time with her and intellectually knows that Celestia is a real person , treated her unlike any other character . I agree 100 % that we need some real emotional beat with her , though . Maybe the pressure gets to be too much , and she has a real hearttoheart with Twilight , and Twilight , using her planning skills , reorganizes Canterlot to make the citizens less dependent on their godqueen , and allow Celestia to spend time pursuing her own interests , whatever those are .
