Yesterdays episode was interesting, but they forgot to set up an original happening that could have caused the original time travel happen

I think that's the point, bro.
They didn't forget. The whole episode was pretty much setting that up from the moment Twilight encountered her future self. (SPOILER)Twilight was so focused on trying to prevent any "disaster" from happening, that when next Tuesday arrived nothing happened, she sent herself back to the past to warn herself, but was unable to before returning to present to continue on. Basically, you can watch this episode again knowing what happened and see that it's just history in a small cycle in this episode. It's a self-consistent and fixed history. Imagine if Twilight knew that "Future" Twilight was telling her there was no real disaster coming next Tuesday morning, this episode would be a second alternate timeline.
Okay, I've added a picture to help illustrate the timeline of the episode. I hope it explains much.
Edit: I put this post in spoiler since the episode is still new.
Edit 2: Added picture.

Hopefully this won't be as long winded this time.
I think GhandiOwnsYou explains it much better than I ever could, and it makes more sense than what I explained. It's too long to quote specifically what I liked, but the whole thing makes perfect sense, and I agree to it. (rep, added.)
Just a couple of things;

I really enjoyed reading through the whole thing of what you wrote here, it was very interesting, and I agree with it. It makes a lot of sense. Thank you.
I've thought of this too. I actually think it may be an error/change in characters In Diamond Dogs a celebrity pony recognizes her, implying she has some level of fame (more than she realizes due to Rarity's shock that a celeb singled her out), but in later episodes where this addressed (e.g. Green is not your Color and Sweet and Elite) when ever the subject for Rarity being famous for anything comes up everypony is all like; "Wait, who are you again? So maybe Lauren or one of the other writers (most likely Lauren as at the time she would have had the deciding vote) originally intended for her to be world famous for dress making, and then disliked the idea?
What they actually meant by that is that when your don't have your mark you have a chance to be something really awesome (whether you take that literally mean "true talent" or "defining characteristic"), but if you rush into it, it will be all for nothing. Diamond Tiara's mark literally means "I'm spoiled" which ever you look at it. Yet she goes around like she's all that because she got her's before everyone else. They're not saying that CMs are a bad thing because your no longer a blank slate, they're just saying being the first to get one isn't important, and you shouldn't be made to feel bad because you don't have one yet.
I could watch a movie about them, since I find them really interesting characters (which is why I hope if and when they do get their marks they do it right - hell, I'd like them to at least check with Lauren about it, even though she's out of the show now). However, if there ever is a movie, then logically it will be about all the entire Mane Six, and will probably be like an extended movie version of the first episode of seasons one and two, with some epic adventure that may coincide with something legendary about Equestria or the whole world. Whether that introduces a new villain or it's something like "find this legendary item" or something I don't know, but it will probably be something that all of the Mane Six and probably some of the other characters (the CMC could count) will be able to play a key part in rather than just being about one or two characters.
EDIT: Sorry there was a lot to respond to.
I think if they made a movie it would end up containing the following elements:
a.) Some sort of a big adventure with the mane six (and possibly Spike) traveling across Equestria
b.) Some sort of big scary villain (Discord/Nightmare Moon but on steroids)
c.) There would probably be a split up at some point, leaving Twilight alone
d.) The theme of friendship would be really hammered in for a big flashy finish with all of the ponies
e.) Cutie Mark Crusader subplot, they may or may not get their cutie marks
f.) Tons of great musical numbers
This is how my Moviemaking Sense tingles, anyway!
Everything you said sounds very plausable. I'm actually hoping they make one now.
I want a movie about scootaloo with lots of songs. they could call it; There and back Again: Scootaloo's Story

Having come straight into the last page of this thread and having no idea what a Little Pony is or what one is about (apart from a brief visit to /r/clopclop that shocked me to the very core of my being), reading that wall of text exchange can mean there is only one thing I can post:
there was a picture here
Manus, why should I be made to feel bad just because I posted a long reply on a show that I like? This isn't YouTube and seeing as there is not low count for text, if I feel the need to type something I will do so.
Sometimes I type long replies because they're no way I could say everything in a shorter way, further more my reply both times were replies to several EOFFers, would you have preferred a separate post for each one? I answered them all in the same post. I really thought we were above that here. I get that not everyone has time to read long text, but sometimes there's no real way to say it.
Relax bro
@MJN
1) The Reason why they decided to make Rarity not famous behind the scenes is kind of irrelevant. What matters is in story there isn't a good reason for it if Cutie Marks are made to reflect your special talent.
2) In regards to the cutie marks, I'm aware of what they meant. That is actually my issue. They talked to her like it was a bad thing to already have your cutie mark because it means they there special talent is already defined, so they don't have as many possibilities. That is just silly, because following their own logic they will only have one possibility anyway, so really the they are in the same boat with or without a cutie mark.
3) Being Spoiled isn't really a talent, so if we are still saying that's what a cutie mark means as the CMC episodes do, It can't mean spoiled. (If we see it to mean she's spoiled that actually supports me and Ghandi's Idea on cutie marks more the the special talent thing.
Cutie marks aren't about talent. they are about who you are. Fluttershy's talent sure isn't butterfly's. The only reason some match up with talent (twi and dashie) are because those traits consume their lives.
