History Recap / MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E15FeelingPinkieKeen

** The way one of the 4 heads on the hydra has a shorter neck then the others, and acts a little sillier, is very reminiscent of the panther gang [[FourMeansDeath The Black Four]] from KimbaTheWhiteLion.

** Twilight's "Latin" name for Pinkie Pie sounds like a reference to the {{Roadrunner}} cartoons where they'd do the same, fitting since Twilight is stalking Pinkie Pie and in the process suffers much the same sort of injurious HumiliationConga Wile E. Coyote often did.

'''Twilight Sparkle:''' Huge! For one thing... ''[[[SoapboxSadie stands on soapbox]]]'' magic is something you study and practice. It only happens when you decide to do it. It's meant to make something specific that you want to happen happen. With you, ugh, it makes no sense at all!\\

* SurpriseCreepy: Mostly a silly, funny episode... Then the ''hydra'' shows up.

* LeeroyJenkins: Twilight's idea of what Rainbow Dash would do when faced with a Hydra.

** Twilight not teleporting could also be justified, as when she does it in the Ticket Master she tells Spike she couldn't warn him (Spike comes out singed) because she didn't ''know'' it was going to happen. Seems like she still can't use that particular spell consciously.

* BurningWithAnger: Twilight Sparkle at being informed the Hydra wasn't "the doozie."

* WrongContextMagic: Inspired by this episode

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: As of yet, "Pinkie Sense" has only been mentioned in this particular episode.

*** [[DownerEnding And what a lovely ending]] that would have [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids for a little girls' show]]. [[NightmareFuel *shudders*]] [[BrainBleach Thank you for forcing me to wash that thought from my memory]].

* [[ForgotAboutHisPowers Forgot About Her Powers]]: Twilight could have easily teleported past the broken platforms (even though she was able to teleport out of [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E3TheTicketMaster the last adrenaline-pumping chase she was in]]).

* [[ForgotAboutHisPowers Forgot About Her Powers]]: Twilight could have easily teleported past the broken platforms. Though she may have simply been too afraid at the time (but even this excuse is shaky, since she's teleported while being chased before).

* [[ForgotAboutHisPowers Forgot About Her Powers]]: Twilight could have easily teleported past the broken platforms. Though she may have simply been too afraid at the time.

* InternetBackdraft: The episode has caused some nasty ones regarding whether it's overly comdemnatory of scientific skepticism.

Twilight Sparkle learns that [[WrongContextMagic Pinkie Pie has an unusual ability to sense happenings in the immediate future based on twitches and tics of her body]],[[SpiderSense known as "Pinkie Sense".]] Twilight is skeptical, but much to her frustration all of Pinkie's predictions seem to come true... and even more frustrating is that they all seem to target Twilight, whether it's falling objects, slamming doors, or an alligator in the bath tub. Twilight tries to investigate Pinkie's so-called abilities, but her efforts are hampered by her own impatience and a series of slapstick disasters, all of which are seemingly predicted by the Pinkie Sense.

* AnachronismStew: Twilight's basement lab, complete with flashing lights, computers, scientific equipment, and more. Pretty much fulfills the typical MadScientistLaboratory.
