Ponies finally acknowledging the importance of Purple Smart? What kind of craziness is this! :v:

Overall it was a great episode! It was Twilight centered, yet it was more a CMC episode than it was a Twilight episode, so I was a little bit disappointed after being prepared for some non-stop purple action, but eh. :wingsright:

Why was Twi legitimately upset at them? She really couldn't see that the schoolponies twisted the truth? That was god-awful.

I was expecting at least a cute episode, but there weren't even too many moments of that. Blehhhhhhhhhhhh

I think Twilight was more upset at the fact that they used her for popularity rather then working on what they were good at.

That was a fun ep, silly but fun. Glad to see sweetie improve on her magic, scoots on her mechanics & AB on her potion making!

Also calling it now, Twy picked up her burger addiction in the human world.

Pip Squeak (two words) was voiced by Graham Verchere. The only other main Pony to appear, besides Twilight, was Pinkie Pie.

Worked out great. And yes, very much a Polsky outing.

In the very end, when the Crusaders leave with their disguises, we see the nachos in the trash can outside.

I absolutely loved the way Twilight knew what the CMC were up to, even though they were lying to themselves and had convinced themselves they had good intentions. They're such realistic kids, smart enough to have their own ideas, but not realizing they're swept along in them until it's too late.

Also, Twilight just obliviously eating like a slob was super in-character and amazing. :allears:

Also also, of course Twilight didn't mention they were lying to her. I'm absolutely sure she was aware of it, but she's completely un-cynical and would most definitely give them the benefit of the doubt.

That was really cute. It is rather hilarious that Twilight has been a princess for a bit and yet no one really cared until now.

Twilight going HAM on those burgers is something I did not expect to see.

Sweetie squeaks are still around. :awesomedash:

That was a decently fun if pointless episode. It's near the bottom rung of Season 4 for me, which isn't to say it was bad.


This, pretty much a typical Polskysode. Spike was the unsung hero of the episode, just like in Simple Ways. :jingo:

S1 had the CMC just being stupid. Now they've gotten to the point where they're being smart and then stupid. Progress! :ohboy:

(aside from, y'know, the actual progress and growth they've shown here)

It was nice to see Sweetie's magic ability finally appear.

The filly zombie "TWILIGHT TIME" scene was a little weird.

My favorite scene was actually Twi chowing down. I like it because it makes her seem a little more easygoing than the other princesses--can you picture Celestia glomping food like that. :gotcha:

Not a bad episode, but I'm still waiting for DT and SS to be properly put in thier places.

Enough to think that this was always the case? And the CMC were not that bad this episode, it was all peer pressure by DT & others (by the way, DT was dumb this ep - completely ignoring the CMC's failures because of Princess Twi??).

Also, Pinkie works at Sugarcube, not Hay Burger. :rainbert:

The episode should have been about the CMC deciding to go to Twilight for their next crusading thing, veiled around them just wanting to learn to learn, then Twi is hurt when it's really just crusading, fix it, etc. and there's a good lesson there about using people in a mean way.

Instead we got another generic schoolyard moral which I can respect, but was executed sloppily, as is sometimes the case with these three.

Good, cute episode, with surprising amount of zombies. :v: Bloody stream ads interjecting during the fast food scene though. :argh: Kind of wish it had been scheduled nearer the start of the season so that Twilight's importance would have been acknowledged before (also, none of these kids have ever even thought about using the library :ohboy:).

And yeah, it makes sense that Twilight would be a little annoyed that the CMC had been using their association with her for favours. :pinkieshrug:

EDIT: I think she knew that wasn't always the case, but peer pressure or no peer pressure, they were still in the wrong for taking advantage. :pinkieshrug:

It has come to my attention that you let two dozen children leave your library without teaching the the magic of reading. A vote has been taken and you're out of the book club.

I didn't see that as Pinkie working there. That tray around her neck just felt like the pony equivalent of a tray like what we'd use at such a restaurant.

Well, that restaurant scene might actually be among the funniest scenes in MLP in my opinion, so that alone makes the entire episode great. :pinkietoot:

Aside from that, nothing really stood-out to me. I was expecting more from Twilight and her personal view on being loved just because she suddenly gained wings, so the episode kind of disappointed in that aspect. I really hope that there's another Twilight episode this season so that they can touch more on Princess problems and Twilight as character rather than Twilight as guidance support for the rest of the mane cast. But, everything else was adorable and I had a smile on my face the whole time so the episode is great pony nonetheless.

That actually is what the episode was about. Twilight called the CMC out on it, but the CMC didn't realize that's what they were doing. They had ulterior motives without really realizing it. Being able to notice that you're taking advantage of someone is a great skill to learn early on, and not something everyone can do.

Also, Pinkie works at Sugarcube, not Hay Burger. :rainbert:


As for this, clearly Pinkie only gets paid cupcakes at Sugarcube Corner, she needs to work at Hay Burger for real bits. :-P

Or she has two part-time jobs. We've went over before how each of the Mane Six represents a different worker caste.

Sweetie Belle finally learning magic. After all this time it just sort of pops up at the beginning of an episode, like, yeah, of course this is happening, you surprised or something?

Polsky knows how it works.
