I loved this episode. It's a solid exemple of how a personal antagonist can become a dangerous villain. During Boast Busters, Trixie didn't do anything actually malefic: lying and boasting isn't evil (Rainbow Dash does this all the time), especially when playing a stage character; humiliating RD, AJ and Ratity during her own show isn't evil; disrespectul, perhaps, but not evil. Magic Duel was completely different. Trixie wanted revenge and for that, she used a cursed object which only made her anger grow. Even after defeating Twilight, she took over Ponyvile and considered taking over Equestria. And even if her action were just influece from the amulet, that still makes her pretty evil, despite being forgiven.

I personally hate the kind of people Trixie represents, but she is an excellent character for portraying those people.
