Once again, Otherside, your expectations of the characters are unrealistic. Twilight's smart, but she's not all-knowing. You can't compare her to Sherlock Holmes because she's not a detective. They have two completely different methods of thinking.
 * The Return of Harmony: You could argue that Twilight cared more about finding the Elements of Harmony than her friends' conditions. But you could ALSO argue that Twilight was focused on saving Equestria from Discord and completing the task given to her by Princess Celestia. Also, the thought of Twilight not caring about her friends' conditions? You could argue that Discord's magic was slowly taking effect on her, not as quickly as it did on the others.
 * Magic Duel: Twilight should've recognized the Alicorn Amulet? Maybe she was a bit preoccupied by the fact that Trixie was terrorizing her friends and fellow ponies and set out to improve her own magic so she could save them.
 * Rainbow Rocks: Twilight was concerned about letting everyone down. Exactly. Everyone has a lot of faith in Twilight, expecting her to come through for them in any crisis. Twilight simply wants to meet that expectation. That was the whole point. With Twilight focused on the counter-spell, it fell to Sunset Shimmer to notice the tension between the Rainbooms.
