History Headscratchers / MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicSeason2Episodes14To26

*** Go back and watch the rehearsal scene and try to forget all the other stuff that happened in the episode. Twilight comes across as an extremely rude, possessive, irrational pony just spouting off the word 'evil' over and over. The look on Rarity and Rainbow Dash's faces afterwards are entirely realistic reactions.

** Applejack was the one who proposed they leave her, she's the most, if not entirely, response for that.

*** It was used more recently in ''Series/AreYouSmarterThanAFifthGrader'', where it was used in the logo itself. (The game show ended in March 2011, just a few months earlier than this episode's air date.) I think the classic classroom and its teachers are still associated with apples.

* Why was Celestia in the locked and secluded old library before sunrise? And why do neither she nor the guard question WHY Twilight is there. The guard is understandable, because maybe, he didn't even know that Twilight left Canterlot. Celestia, on the other hand, casually walks by Twilight, greets her, then leaves, no questions asked. Was she not wondering why her student looked like she was cosplaying [[Franchise/MetalGear Snake]]? Did she not wonder why her most faithful student decided to sneak/break into the castle (even though she could've just asked) in an impromptu "visit," and not to visit her mentor? I guess the automatic answer is "Trollestia," but still!

** Maybe it adds [[IncrediblyLamePun a little spice]] to the relationship.

** We may also want to take Celestia's age and position into account. She's over a thousand years old (how much older exactly hasn't been revealed, but it's at least that) and she's been, as far as we know, the sole Royal Princess of Equestria ever since she had to banish her sister back then. That's a lot of experience, both in general life terms and in [[TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask wearing the queenly mask]] -- ''of course'' not many of the "surprises" that her little ponies might happen to throw her way by accident or design would faze her anymore!

*** Agreed that a cutie mark doesn't necessarily determine a pony's profession. A high majority of the ponies we've seen work based on their talents, and why wouldn't they? It's their talent and they wish to see it put to good use. It's more about choice than it is destiny, and there are bound to be some ponies who prefer to work in other professions, like Pinkie Pie who has a talent for parties but works in a cake store (which can be used for things other than parties), and Rainbow Dash who's talent is speed, and while she applies it in her work, her main job is weather management. However, the literal interpretation of the symbols of the cutie marks is off.

** Technically we don't know that ponies even ''have'' a religion; the topic has never come up on the show. They have a magical and long-lived princess with a {{hundred percent adoration rating}}, to be sure, but it's not clear that they literally consider her divine -- Celestia raising and lowering the sun is impressive, yes, but then ''every'' pony has his or her own special talent and that may well simply be hers.

*** Well, the ''Elements of Harmony'' was under "E" and Pikie found it in 10 seconds flat. I would guess [[SuperOCD Twilight]] would keep ''Derring Do'' under "D".
