^ Yes, this. People criticize Flash Sentry for being a stereotype. In all honesty, the entire main seven characters were stereotypes in the beginning episode. Twilight was the antisocial bookworm (who never even had a sleepover); Applejack was the typical cowgirl with the endless family; Pinkie Pie was the hyperactive weird girl that was friends with everyone; Rainbow Dash was the cocky, brave sports girls; Rarity was the dress-obsessive and glamour-loving girl; Fluttershy was the shy, withdrawn girl with a love for nature; and Spike was the typical boy character in girl shows made to be a comic relief. But they all ended up growing from that. You can't say Flash Sentry won't. With Twilight being a girl meant for girls that have trouble making friends to relate to, her crush on Flash Sentry was a way to show that some girls will have crushes on boys, and sometimes those boys will have crushes on girls back. Yes, he was a pretty boy, but what were you expecting, a human version of Gizmo Poindexter to be the apple of Twilight's eye?
