The Doctor wrote::gotcha: So... we just got an episode that is all about Moondancer and that gift. Is this the perfect Round Stable episode?
:twonk: ENHANCE!

Fizzbuzz wrote:I'd be surprised if this episode even tries to go for a strong emotional angle. I predict that it'll be making fun of Twilight's behavior back then.
Swift wrote:Also Twilight magic-ing herself into the book was amazing.Especially since this is apparently a well-established reading/studying technique used by unicorns that Moondancer recognized.
Fizzbuzz wrote:It reminded me of the comics. In MLP:FiM #15-16, there was a magical bookworm eating all the books in Twilight's library, and to fight it she and a few others had to magically go into the stories of the books where the bookworm was.

One thing I really liked about this episode though was that it did take both of these sides. Minuette & co. are pretty cool / understanding of Twi's situation, and accept the apology, initially looking like the conflict is over in 5 minutes. Moondancer was obviously not in an emotional state to brush it off, though, and the plot truly begins then as the "what-if" parallel is pretty blatant.
ROBOT B9 wrote:Hahah, is that a Get Smart reference?
SlateSlabrock wrote:I was honestly surprised after that first scene that Minuette and the others were just really, really chill and good-natured about the whole thing. It felt like they were setting up for a "sure they'll act chummy now that you're a princess" twist, but it wound up being more heartfelt than that.
