I agree.

Accidentally tagged Project Z. Sorry about that

@Project Z  
Yeah. I happen to have enjoyed this episode much more than last week’s one. The storyline seemed like more of a breath of fresh air in comparison

@Blissey1  
He’s probably talking about the season 5 discussion topic on the forums, which does have lots of mixed opinions (though it is a tiny sample size).

@Joshua  
do you actually have any evidence of this or are you just preemptively overreacting again?

Fluttershy: Are you okay, Twilight? Why are you so sad?  
Twilight: Because this episode sparked more mixed responses than last week’s episode. Is there no appeasing the bronies anymore?!

Ow my heart.

Yep, no one can say she didn’t try her best.

@RIG  
Objection,she tried everything in her power and every trick in the (litteraly ) book to stop them.The solutions she tried were pretty rational unfortunately the 2 families were less than rational

It’s easy to tell by now that Twilight has put her occupation on a super high pedestal, and fears that she isn’t able to live up to it. She does so much unnecessary studying and preparing, she thinks that being jealous isn’t worthy of being the Princess of Friendship, and she becomes abnormally down when she isn’t chosen for the map.
 
She’s doubting herself, and has been trying to convince herself that she’s worthy of the job for much of the season. Hopefully this episode gets her to loosen up a bit.

@RIG  
Which, in fairness, was pretty critical.
 
Though I can see some left and right discussions being had about this.

@JP  
I swear, Twilight was so adorable in this episode!  
So was Fluttershy.  
In fact, the two make a really cute, effective team!

You failed Twilight. You are no longer the princess of friendship. Please return your regalia to the nearest Royal Guard outpost. You can keep your wings, though.

j/k, come here for hugs, you poor thing.

All I could think of during this little scene was  
“Gee, Princess Twi sure has a lovely back!” :D

Litereally her only role was to use that tparalysis spell so fluttershy could explain things.

“Shy, I am a loser!”  
“You’re still a princess.”  
“A princess of losers!”
