In most other sources it's always been Golden Oaks Library, but in this episode it was explicitly referred to in the singular ("Golden Oak Library"). To be fair, I don't think the comics, the trading cards, the Gameloft game, etc., have been 100% consistent on the spelling either.
MLP Wiki wrote:[Golden Oak Library] is also called the Golden Oak Library in Castle Sweet Castle, (the) Golden Oaks Library or Golden Eagle Library in some merchandise, Books and Branches Library at a former Hub website, and Twilight's Library in Gameloft's mobile game.

Grue wrote:I liked all the season 1 references. Quills and Sofas guy making a comeback was a nice surprise. Some of the jokes in the first half were also pretty funny. Really feels like the writers did their work and got it right at the first attempt. I also thought RD's singing was bad, but could've been intentional?
Octavia wrote:Yeah I'm betting one will go off somewhere in pretty much every episode where they're in the castle.

ScionVyse wrote:The main thing that bothered me was how predictable the plot was, in a way I didn't really like. As soon as they decided to revamp the castle for Twilight, I immediately thought, "Those idiots are going to bring their own shit like idiots because they should fucking know by now that Twilight doesn't like all the same things they do."![]()
And then they did, like idiots. At least they realized that how bad of an idea it was before Twilight got back and got pissed off that they're idiots and don't know anything about what Twilight likes.
Fizzbuzz wrote:Honestly, this didn't feel that bad to me. I felt like the others thought that, by introducing things of theirs, it'd remind Twilight of them instead of the place just being a sterile crystal castle. I didn't think they were being selfish or (too) short-sighted.

The Ghost Of Ember wrote:More than a S1 callback, this felt like a season 1 episode - right down to the simplistic moral - unfortunately this meant that it felt like a lot of the character development we've had over the years just went out in a puff of smoke, so it rings a little hollow. It feels like average and forgettable children's TV where the archetypes reset every episode, which is fine. It's competent. It doesn't inspire a lot of interest in those of us who aren't children who along for the ride, and considering the moral of the episode is explicitly about remembering all the things that made these characters grow... well its a little bizarre.
