** Also, fans have long wanted to see the GodEmperor princesses cut loose, but anytime something that would require the level of power we expect from those who control the sun and moon - and hear of them having used in the distant past - shows up, they end up suffering TheWorfEffect, or never acting beyond exposition duty at all. ''Not today,'' as we truly get to see Luna take action, showing herself quite powerful though not without limits. One sequence was much like fans have discussed wishing had happened at times like "A Canterlot Wedding;" a role that lets the Princesses not seem so useless by holding down the fort in one way while still needing the Mane Six. In this case, Luna's mindlinking ''the entire city,'' which limits, but ''doesn't'' fully eliminate, her ability to act directly.

** A lot of fans wanted Princess Celestia to have a role in the story - as the one ''most'' hurt by the Nightmare Moon incidents, and the one who also most loves Luna, she kinda needed to be here. Especially since Celestia herself has been shown to feel guilt over the incident. (Of course, there's always the chance Celestia had her own form of self-punishment for what she had to do, of which cheerfully playing her role in the Summer Sun Celebration is surely only part...)

However, this episode revealed that she did not forgive herself for what she did and has been inflicting nightmares on herself in order to atone. It's even stated that she never thought the ponies should have accepted her back and that she thinks very little of herself.

** In Princess Luna's dream in the ColdOpen, the Mane Six hit Nightmare Moon with their CareBearStare ''twice''; the first time, before the Tantabus escapes, they are unsuccessful. The fact that Luna says "[[ThisCannotBe That cannot happen!]]" implies three things: she's had this dream before, the Tantabus prevents the CareBearStare from being effective, and the dream usually ends ''badly''.

This episode has Luna in a more passive role for the climax that makes it feel more scaled down, but the focus was kept on Luna's character, and the Tantabus being a personification of her guilt rather than the force that made her Nightmare Moon adds to Luna's status as TheAtoner.
