MLP:FIM Review By Tyler Bowman I think I need to first talk about the obvio- us for this episode, before I talk about any Trixie: As you m times I've said it, I. HATE. TRIXIE! Both in on a character standpoint, and just herself. She's a bitch, Ibasically the antagionst. Which would be fine by me if she wasn't so freaking annoying, its not a character to love to hate, its I hate her. because I hate her But when I saw the trailer for this episode, I knew, that it will change ny opinion on her. Now, she's finally offofbeing Worst Pony. Just seein g her, finally beingr someone to back her claims, even though it was not her, but the amulet, and seeing herjust literally being taken over with such power-hungry attitude, makes it so much enjoyable. Plus she's making Snip and Snails lives miser- able so that's a plus. So, yeah, she's done ay Know, froin how inany at in this episode. Story: This is the best normal episode, wi- th an antagionst so far. How I love how so dark for Ponyville, They could ofjust have herjust stand aroundjust praising herselffor defeating Twilight. Nope, take it over. Plus, you know an episode is eat When Zecora gets to be in it. Everytime she's appeared, I always silently say "fick yeah." because she's f----- awesolne. Hopefully what Zecora agreed on helping I'wilight will carry over to other episodes, sinee originally, Faust wanted Zecora to be some sort ofMentor for Ponies, and since she's capable ofteaching magic, then it would nake sense that Twilight would be learnin from her as well. This Episode wasjust so great with story. Comedy: Many wasjust visual jokes, and just the torment of innocent of Ponies in Ponyville. Since these jokes were really lean-spirted, but sinee it was coming Trixie, it makes itjustified, and h ess, And her surprise that RD would put her for a task ofeseaping the Dome over the town. Her saying "What" alinost made ine spit Coca cola out of mny mouth to ny laptop. So comedy, Terrifie. Inimation: This season seems to ed on making the animation seem more ofhelping tell their stories, so far, it had should how much better their animation has been, Whether or not that was the gimie ofthat episode (To nany Pinkic's) Is always, this Episode is no Exception. Overall: What else Can I say about it, it finally gave Trixie good charcterzation, the Story around her was amazing, Snip and Snails were Tormented, Lccora app- ears, Comedy was great. It felt like every aspeet of what this episode has given, didl its best. When I was going to get the loS0 p version of this episode from EQD, of course the all be knowing Sethisto, says in the title of the Part of the links (Saying "Best ofSeason 3") Well I disagreed before I saw that little Quote, and afterw- ards, I still disagree. But the Best of Seas- 5 Great and Apologetic Trixie's out of5 Thi SO ease talk le Co I was going to say, Thanks for reading! My Favortte Ponies Mane Flly Secondary Background Worst

Before the most recent episode, I liked Trixie in terms of how a character relates to the story. She was boastful, overconfident, and annoying, which was rather the point. As this kinda of a character she did her role well. You wanted to see her fail miserably so she would shut up about how "great" she was, and made it that much better when this finally happened. She's not the pony I would like to hang around, and as "person" she is terrible, but in how she related to the story, I think she was pretty good. That's just my opinion though.

I agree, I think this is a great episode. I love it when they bring back minor characters, especially when they have more than just a cameo role.
