This episode is frustrating to sit through and it pains me to watch it for only the second time. I like almost like every episode of this show with the exception of one other. This was written by Megan McCarthy which is a shame since she's my favourite writer and wrote my favourite episode twilights Kingdom. I don't hate how twilight just sudden now has a brother but rather how we're just expected to feel for these ponies we've just met. None of twilights friends care about how she feels even when there's an episode all about taking her feelings more seriously (lesson zero). An episode about how not to judge a book by its cover (bridle gossip) and that's a lesson she needs to learn again but wait it turns out she is evil so thank heavens she was right. Too bad none of her friends dare think to do anything and don't get me started on them not apologizing until the villain points out that they didn't listen to her so applejack apologies but do the rest do? No they do not. Celestia basic says she learned something but clearly Celestia didn't. They have a kinda cool action sequence which in reality was completely pointless and the characters end up exactly where they started the scene earlier. Luna doesn't notice a changeling invasion so clearly she wasn't doing her job well. Two of the songs are extremely bland and forgettable with the exception of this day aria which was okay but is overrated. The episode overall feels Very distant from other episodes in a way I cannot explain but I can tell you it's my least favourite episode from the show. Go and watch the return of harmony or magical mystery cure but not this. If you like it then that's fine but the people who defend this episode say it's the experience that makes it great but a animation affect or two isn't going to change my opinion on a episode. Again if like it fine but it's got too many problems for my liking
