She felt like the fun neurotic insecure Twilight from S1/S2 rather than the boring unlikable stick-in-the-mud that she occasionally toys with being in latter-day episodes. Freakout Twilight is a Twilight I want to befriend. Teacher Twilight is a Twilight I'd want to avoid.

She was upset that he was chained up.

PaulloDEC wrote:I feel like there's a tendency with shows like this (and I'm as guilty of this as anyone) to think that if a character shows signs of development, they've officially gone up a distinct notch on some imaginary "character development" chart, from which they cannot ever move back. So basically we see an episode where Twilight is calm and collected in the face of trouble and it's like "Well, I guess she isn't nervous and neurotic anymore!"
...
Anyway, point I'm trying to make is that Twi's behavior isn't really so outrageous

I will say, Starlight really should have at least told Twilight she wasn't coming.
I would have prefered Celestia found a way to have fun with Derpy, Cranky and DJ-Pon3. But, nitpicks.
The Doctor wrote:Said before, but it was unusual for her. I've already seen some speculating she's a Changeling. Fitting in with the sighting in the season opener. But both her and Luna seemed a bit frustrated last week with Twilight too.
