Season 6 Episode Discussion [Speculation/Theories/Beware of Spoilers]

@TippyCat  
the way she interacted with the other townsfolk also reduced her sue-level.
 
This is a good thing.

@Grieffon  
No more so then Made in Manehatten did for slave driver Rarity or Put you hoof down did for Fuck You Fluttershy, by my own analysis and personal feelings of course. As I said before, I don’t really see the malice other do in this episode (I mean in the characters). Even with the bad they did they both had clear and understandable motivations that when mixed with an err of action made them do bad. Rarity in Made in Mane was very clearly cheated and needed something in order to stay in the game and as such loss sight of what her actions were doing. Same goes for Dumb-dumb, Twilight, and Starlight, I feel.  
I don’t think that’s an unfair opinion to have, right?
 
@EHAN  
Shiieeeeett

Was good until second half. Than it went to crap. Especially with those “cameos”.

@rdibp  
Plus Twilight knows very little about Trixie since she ran off after the first two epsiodes.

@ColdhardSilver  
wot?

@ice1517
 
Oh, the big one I always imagine is Pinkie with Zayn’s entrance.True she could fit Bayley too, but I like the bouncyness of Zayn’s theme more.

@ColdhardSilver  
Personally, I say the episode was great. But, everyone has their own opinions, I guess.

@gingerninja666  
It’s nowhere this mean-spirited. RD and AJ just cheated to win a run. Twilight and Trixie both manipulated Starlight to get back at each other over something they’re supposed to have gotten over with.

@ColdhardSilver  
Sure. But I just feel there is so much more ill will between the characters in this episode.

@Villain Pony  
Dude if you thought those with forced, you don’t know forced. jk  
 
 

@gingerninja666  
now, who would be her Kevin Owen/Steen?

@ice1517
 
PErsonality and story wise the only thing I can think that would be close is Gilda. And even that doesn’t fit perfect.

@gingerninja666  
who do you see Gilda as?

@gingerninja666  
Character flaws is when a character has some negative trait that makes them more relatable, funny, and/or interesting. Tony Stark is an arrogant shit, but that makes him more believable as a genius, billionaire superhero, TF2’s Solider is totally out his mind and the joke is he is the last person on Earth who should be armed with heavy weaponry, etc.
 
I don’t about know Trixie, but I didn’t see Twilight’s actions as a character flaw. She was highly suspicious of Trixie, yet she never, EVER was for Starlight. We are lead to believe that Trixie and Starlight’s past actions are comparable (I disagree with that). This was Twilight’s role in the story and her motivation was given a very poor explanation. That’s a big mark against it IMO.

@ice1517
 
Well, you said who’s her owens. Gilda’s the only thing I can think of that comes close. Her or Cranky.
 
 
@DaKurgan  
Well I’ll have to see for myself. I just know that a lot of times people complain about characters not acting perfect, and I like that. It’s why I liked Twi in What about Discord.

So, did anyone see the credits to see if Kathleen Barr really did voice Trixie or it was somebody else?

@Mildgyth  
It’s Barr. Just odd inflections at points.

@soundtea  
been awhile since she voiced her, perhaps?

is the new ep up yet?

@Mildgyth  
@soundtea  
It’s the “Luna sounded a bit different because her VA was probably out of practice for so long” effect we got in a couple of those CMC episodes

@DaKurgan  
Yeah, Twilight was awful in this.

I thought it was good, but it had some flaws.

@Grieffon  
I agree that their is (not too much), but to me that what made the episode delightful.  
It’s a touchy subject and can go wrong on the parts of Twi, Dumb-Dumb, and Star and it did, and the episode had real nice bite to it because of it. It’s play of errs; Starlight’s erred in the accusation she made, Dumb-dumb erred in letting her “revenge” (the thing she thought she needed) blind how she was dirty dealing Star (who she really needed; also needed who she needed to not end up manticore shit), etc etc.
 
It wasn’t made out of “lol misunderstandings” it was just all the players involved making errs and the tension and negativity such things can create and personally I think that worked in the episode’s favor.  
I know you disagree, but I’m sure you can clearly see my reasoning and clear and just, right?

@PonyPon  
Last time was… RR if I remember right.

@soundtea  
Really? That long ago?
