What better day to watch multicolored sugar-eating pastel ponies than Easter? That's the true meaning of Easter, is it not? Probably. I don't feel like looking it up.
So IIRC, when we left off, the Changelings were reformed into hideous antelope things, Starlight and Discord learned to work with others like Tango and Cash, and Trixie demonstrated awesome stage-magic ninja tricks. There was a song probably?
• We begin with Twilight teleporting into Starlight's room, because boundaries are not magic.
• Then Twilight dorks out with precision measurements and Spike does a Rarity impression. So this might be the best cold open ever.
• Oh thank God we got a closeup of the mirror photos. Ha, Rarity's blue dress is amazing.

• I'm not sure Starlight wants to look at herself in the mirror yet. She's got a trunkful of guilt that I don't think she's resolved yet.
• I wonder if newcomers to the show are confused by the part in the credits where Twilight doesn't have wings and then gets them.
• Well hey, Starlight's looking happy in the group photo.

• There's also the Green Clover of Compassion, the Blue Diamond of Forbearance, and the Purple Horseshoe of Thriftiness. That is a cereal joke but now that I think on it, this is ponyland and those medals could
really exist.• Hey, Twilight saved the world in the pilot and she still had to write friendship letters for the whole season!
•
MAKEOVERS• I'm sure Celestia was eating cake, then Twilight came up all "Map room in five minutes! I'm having PERSONAL PROBLEMS!" And Celestia rolls with it because you know what? She is a goddamned professional.
• I hope we return from commercials to have Celestia say "That is a fucking stupid idea, Twilight."
• Starlight Glimmer: HR manager! I hope she gives a Scared Straight presentation!
• "I was not aware that I was an expression." Line of the episode.
• Who knows what Ember and Starlight's dynamic would be like? Perhaps a million fanfic writers.
• Send her to the Breezies, Twi! I want to see Breezie Starlight!
• Celestia's laughter is
terrifying.• She's got anxieties. She still doesn't know about the parasprite incident, right?

• Then there was the whole "Sunset Shimmer turned evil" debacle, but
we don't talk about that. 
• And in the end, I like that Starlight is still uncertain and insecure. She's not ready to fully enjoy the happy moments yet.
Welcome back pony.
