-Specific Fluts complaint but she's notably a master of manticores, her reactions to the trick were not characterized well
Wayoshi wrote:-Twi is in "must impress Celestia I know best about friendship" regression mode for the sake of the ep
Aramek wrote:Trixie tried to fucking kill herself holy shit did I see that right because that's kinda how that was gonna go down.
Octavia wrote:I thought that too, but she could've just been scared for Trixie's sake.

The Doctor wrote::pinkieshrug: OK episode.
Trixie just using Starlight felt just as out of place here as Discord just using the other 5 in "What about Discord". Like the writers can't commit to having these characters turn over a new leaf. Fun scenes with Trixie and Starlight, and Celestia being bored out of her mind was hilarious, but overall, the ending brought down this episode for me.

Twilight Sparkle: How did you know about the thorn?
Fluttershy: I didn't. Sometimes we all just need to be shown a little kindness.
Wayoshi wrote:Oh yeah, pony hivemind again lol - it's a simple teleportation trick and no one in the audience, not even Twilight, can see through that?
Marimo wrote:I'm pretty sure Trixie didn't mean to actually use Starlight. Like she didn't know from the start that Starlight was Twilight's pupil. Just that learning about Twilight's relation to her and Trixie's jealousy ended up affecting her priorities.

UnintelGen wrote:This I also take issue with. Twilight's a teacher now. She really wants to know she's doing a good job, not just simply doing a good job. Which is something she does have to learn regarding teaching.

All around ok episode. Weird callbacks, but otherwise... nice they redeemed Trixie while maintaining she's a jerk

Feels like they're going back to a S1&2 approach where they exist in the world for reasons other than exposition.
