Yeah, there sure are a lot. I was suspecting that Starlight would in fact be a main character in the episode, and I was correct, but the Crystal Empire? A FIFTH ALICORN? That one really needs an explanation. I had a well-thought out timeline before the Crystalling, but it had Celestia and Luna be the ones who formed Equestria in the first place, carefully influencing the three trives, that THEY were the ones who came up with the compromise, and were crowned princesses. I also had the Crystal Empire's first reign not lasting very long, but the Heart being millenia old hints that the Crystal Empire may in fact be as old as Equestria, which begs the question on who ruled over them. I also considered Crystal Ponies a species of thier own, not one you became. What did the Heart protect? I thought it was formed AFTER it fell the first time, and helped spread love, due to Cadance's cutie mark. But the alicorn baby, the Crystalling process, and the dark fog that was ACTUALLY what was being protectec SHATTERED all that. It begs the question:What force drives the fog? Are there elements.. of discord? Who knows..
