Season 5 Episode 12 - Study Buddies · 9:04am Jul 6th, 2015
There was a lot wrong with this episode, mainly due to the portrayal and mindset of Twilight. But I loved Moondancer. I dare say, she might replace Twilight as my favorite pony.

Slightly disappointed, yes. It's hard for me to grasp, but the main reason is because Twilight has a sort of savior complex (I need to think about this more and re-watch the episode to confirm some feelings). I think I might actually write an analysis of it later on in the week (if I'm not too tired from the convention) because it left me with so many emotions. I loved the episode dearly; it's up there as one of my all-time favorites, but there was a constant itch, a nagging voice in my head about how seemingly wrong the characterizations were and how the episode was playing out. (And I think I only feel this strongly about the episode because of Moondancer--my empathy scales are going off the charts!)
Minuette was weird, but fun and super optimistic. All of three of her friends were kind of strange, but they grew on me by the end of the episode. But Pinkie's cameo with Minuette was fun!
