S06E21: Lesson One

So, anyone else got a "Lesson Zero" kinda vibe in this episode?

I mean, Lesson Zero has Twilight freaking out about lessons she didn't take, trying to solve the problem by missing the point, and casting an out-of-control mind control spell over ponies. She then gets scolded by Celestia before being forgiven. Swap Twilight with Starlight and Celestia with Twilight and you get the plot of this episode.

Weird.

Also, it makes how easily forgiven Starlight was make more sense: Twilight has been on the receiving end of that scolding, and everypony else forgave Twilight for pretty much the same thing.

Ps: I found the constant shrunken irises creepy as fuck.
