I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

Speaking of princesses, I've seen some people such as CDRW and Silver Quill {A FIM reviewer, and one of the few who's actually still pretty good} point out that, ever since the S4 premier, Twilight's personality flaws haven't been showcased at all. She's basically turning into Reasonable Authority Figure 5, with her now acting as the moral compass of the group. And to be honest, it kind of makes her more bland. The lack of Adorkable Twilight is disappointing for an otherwise excellent season. Makes the whole "Twilight's personality won't change from her ascension" thing seem questionable.

[up][up]Can't say that I haven't noticed that, but I guess it's better then her being constantly on the brink of insanity.

It's a bit puzzling that for a two-parter dedicated to her, she's been out of focus most of the season, which probably causes a lot of the blandness.

I'd say Fluttershy and Rarity, and equally shared in screentime CMC have gotten the most focus thus far.

In the scene where it showed Sweetie Belle's birthday party, did anyone notice what looked to me like a colt version of Orion? I guess since Orion's a regular pony poster here, I could just ask him if he attended that party when he was younger.

Who were the foals at that party anyway? I heard most were backgrounds, but there's got to be some familiar faces.

@Mars: I wouldn't say that her personality has changed, just that the selection of episodes that we've had so far haven't really shown the flawed side of her personality as much. All that's happened is that she isn't quite as socially awkward anymore, which kinda makes sense given her development.

Maud Pie is winning EQD's poll for best new supporting character. Handily beating Cheese Sandwich and Coco Pommell.

Can't really say I'm surprised. Cheese Sandwich and Coco Pommel were cool, but Maud presented a character type that we really hadn't seen in the show so far.

So I just rewatched Equestria Girls. I was surprised to see that there were like 5 songs, since only Helping Twilight Sparkle Win The Crown was remotely memorable. Also, the ending seems even cornier on repeat viewing.
