Top Bolt, various thoughts · 9:29pm Oct 10th, 2016

Now for the last early released episode of season 6, after which we've got another hiatus. Lovely.
This was a pretty decent episode, at any rate. This time, sadly no exposition and world-building, which would have been nice...

—I like this one. I'm intrigued. Apparently this is a Make A Wish character requested by a young girl, which is sweet. That's still going on.
—Given Angel Wings' comment, it's possible pegasus wings grow back (or can be put back in place) if they get torn off.
—I kind of like how Twilight seems to have taken an interest to aerodynamics and to pegasus culture. I guess some aspects of it may appeal to her much dissatisfied love for science, which could be fun if satisfied.
—I don't think we've ever had this sort of character combination before, or at least not in a long while. There aren't any stand-out moments of character interaction, but I can at least tell how close they've become compared to earlier in the series when Rainbow was more dismissive of Twilight as an "egghead". Besides, who's the egghead now?
—Spitfire appears to have stress issues.
—Twilight's character moment with Sky was pretty nice. She's really learnt quite a bit, and she's aware of it too.:3 A nice lesson to teach in the episode, that sometimes you will have to work hard to achieve what you want.
—Apparently Lightning Dust was a toddler when Sky and Vapour were foals. I don't think she was included in the former's family, so maybe just someone they were looking after at the time? Either way, it suggest a relationship.

—I've been loving the animators recently.
