Thoughts on Ponyville Confidential · 8:49pm Apr 23rd, 2021
This is probably the best episode in season two. I liked this episode because it does a lot in regards to creating a conflict that isn't so black and white. This deals with the reality of Tabloid and Gossip columns and how they affect others. Not only that the main protagonists the cutie mark crusaders have to deal with their school bully Diamond Tiara in a new light with her using them to make her gossip column then later blackmailing them. I think overall this highlights why I like this show so much it takes a simple concept, and expounds on the idea with really fun humor, and in the end addresses the serious topic at hand. Also, the antagonist Diamond Tiara was a new take like with the Flim and Flam bros they used their cunning to take advantage of others and use them to their own devices. In the end the episode also comes to a natural conclusion that doesn't feel forced or rushed. Overall, I honestly don't have much to say other then I'm just glad this episode exists and I highly suggest this gets a re-watch from others.

I loved how this episode exposes two secrets of my two favorite characters Celestia and her love for cake, and Big Mac and how it showed that he kept the Smartypants doll from the beginning of the season.
"es tu Sweetie Belle" ah yes a famous quote from the play Julius Ceaser seems Rarity is well cultured 
Also how the buck did Featherweight get the picture of Celestia? that means he went to Canterlot by himself, snuck into the palace gardens, and then snapped that photo and left without getting caught by any guards?
