Fridge / My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic S2 E20 "It's About Time"

• Fridge Brilliance:
  • Pinkie is the best pony for Twilight to bring to the Canterlot archive, since she has a knack for locating useful things in a library.
  • Twilight resolves to stop worrying about the future. Unfortunately, she's still worried about the past, so she goes back to deliver the message which started the whole mess.
  • Why does the guard let Twilight into the library without question? Knowing Twilight's character, he must know that she makes frequent visits to the library all the time. She's also Celestia's trusted student and a national heroine. She's probably authorized to be in any part of the Archive she wants to. It's also quite likely that it takes considerable magical skill to operate such powerful magic. Probably only someone as gifted as Twilight could do so. So not much need to keep most ponies away, even if they got their hooves on it they could never use it.
• Fluttershy can easily tame Cerberus because he is already tame! He's the guardian against the horrors of Tartarus. Guard dogs are tame creatures. (Can't be often he gets to play fetch and get tickled. Or is there somepony who takes care of him?) While he does scare the ponies at the beginning, the clear problem is that he has left Tartarus unguarded, not that he himself is that dangerous (though guard dogs can be mean if provoked, of course).
• Dr. Whooves was laughing at Twilight's claim about her future self, because he knows about the Stable Time Loop and no disaster is going to happen on Tuesday.
• Fridge Horror: Yes, somewhere in Equestria is a door to Tartarus that holds ancient horrors, fortunately we got Cerberus to keep evil in line.
• Fridge Logic:
  • No, seriously, where did that flower pot that fell on Twilight's head come from?Derpy dropped it.
  • How exactly was trimming Pinkie Pie's mane supposed to prevent a disaster? Trimming it helps her see better. She found that time travel spell later on.
