I apologise in advance for the wall of text.

I'm still unsure as to how I feel about the Alicorn change. It's great to see Twilight progressing because that adds an overall story that can progress as the series continues; but the Alicorn change and princess coronation, sort of feels like an endgame situation.

Making Twilight an alicorn princess feels like it should be at the end of the tunnel, not halfway through. I thought back to Season 1 and remembered Celestia giving Twilight the task of studying the magic of friendship and it feels like such a short time ago. I can't help feeling that this change was too sudden and that the entirety of the shows plot (studying friendship) was compiled into a short half hour.

I can only hope and speculate that (this being a supposed 3-parter episode) the arc will proceed with a villan making Twilight realise that she isn't ready for the title Princess of Friendship. Being the pony that she is Twilight would not accept this high honour under false pretenses; she would never leave a task uncompleted. Politely requesting that her coronation be revoked and postponed until she believes it's time Twilight/Celestia (possibly) perform a memory spell to remove all knowledge of her coronation. Celestia would understand that it was wrong of her to thrust such a heavy title on her so soon. Twilight would return to Ponyville and seek out her friends who are none the wiser to the memory spell. Group hug for main six. Twilight would write to Celestia that night:

Dear Princess Celestia,

I shall inform you of when I am ready to perform my royal duties. Until then I shall resume my studies. After all, how could I possibly do well in an exam I have not prepared for?

your studious student, Twilight Sparkle

It appears my analysis has turned into speculation, oh dear.
