I'm sort of a fan of the series.

    Disappointment Is Coming.

    The irritating thing about "Last Crusade" that was not the inevitable thing of some right-wing nincompoop screaming One, Two, Three, Four, I declare a culture war is the fact that the writers failed to put a full stop on the completed story arc what was the Cutie Mark Crusaders saga. In the real world, it would have been held to be very sad that for now, Scootaloo lives a day's journey away and

    On the care and feeding of confidence tricksters.

    Without actually probably intending to, the writers are starting to do the viewers something of a service by putting Flim and Flam in charge of the alternative friendship school Neighsayer is running. This is because they've shone a light on a dynamic that people need reminding of: the one between a con man and his willing mark.

    Second prances? Doesn't that imply a first one?

    Now, given the format of the series and the need to have recurring antagonists, it might look as if today's episode is a foregone conclusion. In any other cartoon, Twilight's suspicion that Trixie will try to change Starlight's job description to 'disposable accomplice I only pretended to like' will be proven true and she can continue to be a magic superhero (like, say, Bloom of the Winx Club)

    On a possible false dilemma....

    As we all know by now, we're finally at a rather familiar place in the various fanon universes owing to the fact that Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle are about to ask themselves "Now that we've GOT our Cutie Marks....what next?" I've noticed two trends of equal popularity:

    The new mouth to feed.

    Well, that happened, didn't it? The Cutie Map seemed to show Starlight just enough horror to make her stop, listen and TALK about her real problem: a collapsed friendship. While I'd thought of her as being the victim of a perfectionist mother who warped her mind, having her blame the cutie mark for its results is just as good an excuse (and just as dumb) as trying to police the world so that one

Second prances? Doesn't that imply a first one? · 11:05am Apr 30th, 2016

Now, given the format of the series and the need to have recurring antagonists, it might look as if today's episode is a foregone conclusion. In any other cartoon, Twilight's suspicion that Trixie will try to change Starlight's job description to 'disposable accomplice I only pretended to like' will be proven true and she can continue to be a magic superhero (like, say, Bloom of the Winx Club) who chases the same idiot (or idiots in triplicate named the Trix girls) forever. The problem with that is that we have a world with Discord and Diamond Tiara in it which means that we have even odds that Twilight will end up looking very foolish because Starlight is Fluttershy to Trixie's Discord: the only person who can redeem an idiot bad guy.

In that instance, we're going to have to remember an ugly fact: Twilight cannot be said to have afforded Miss Lulamoon a second chance because she has yet to give her a first one. She might not admit it but she took an instant dislike to the showboating bullshit artist because she reminds her of a tendency she hates about herself and works like a piston to suppress: the very human need to boast about one's accomplishments. The more Trixie shoots her mouth off, the less Twilight likes her.
