What once was just imagination is now real; what was once the distant future is now around the corner. The 'Science Fiction' of the past has now simply become 'Science'. And the science of the future was strangely prophesied by a group of visionaries whose dreams once may have deemed them renegades and 'mad scientists,' have become reality!

In early 2012 John de Lancie discovered that he had been flooded with hundreds of e-mails almost overnight for his portrayal of the mischievous villain Discord in Friendship is Magic. Oddly enough all of the mail seemed to be coming from adults! This was when he discovered Bronies for the first time and the concept of such a unique demographic forming around a TV show fascinated him to no end. As the fandom grew so did his curiosity.

Director Alexander Dovzhenko the trailblazing icon of soviet cinema was originally commissioned to produce an epic film to celebrate the glories of the 1918 Bolshevik worker's revolution. Arsenal (1929) based on the real-life events of the Ukrainian Civil War turned out to be anything but an exercise in propaganda filmmaking. Set in the bleak aftermath and devastation of the 'Great War' (WWI) a recently de-mobbed soldier Timosh returns to his hometown Kiev after having survived a train wreck. His arrival coincides with a national celebration of Ukrainian freedom but the festivities are not to last as a disenchanted Timosh soon begins to clash with the city's authorities when he starts to agitate for the adoption of the soviet system. The unrest eventually comes to a violent head when outnumbered and holed-up in a munitions depot where he used to work Timosh and other Bolshevik troops defend their besieged city from the advancing nationalist White Army. Dovzhenko tempered his stark take on this pivotal war with touches of comedy and national myth while treating his portrayal of the passions evoked on both sides with a certain level of ambiguity which was to displease his partisan paymasters. Arsenal features some of the earliest usage of the fast-editing approach; which injects the film with a level of excitement new to movie-goers of the time. The director's unrivalled skills as a filmmaker were to remain unmatched for decades; and his use of vignettes grandiose imagery and intimate mood pieces set a template which continues to influence generations of moviemakers.

Father Gow denies all knowledge of the victim but admits that a stranger came to his confessional the night before asking what the penance was for murder. Elsewhere in the city Fiona Marshall is discovered dead in her office. The pool of blood surrounding her indicates the same MO as the first murder.
