@First Contributor: Twilight is a princess because that is what Lauren always intended her to be eventually. Yes, she didn't write the episode, and yes, maybe it was too early, but it is still what was going to happen one day - throughout the show there are hints towards it. Twilight is an alicorn because of our fandom - we always insisted that all royal ponies had to be alicorns, despite the show proving us otherwise, so to appease us they retcon Cadance into an alicorn (which doesn't ruin too much, as even though most of us knew about her during season 1 she was only shown and mentioned in promotional matertial) and assume they had to make Twilight an Alicorn if they wanted to make her a princess. That's just how it's gone, and we need to deal with it.

@Second Contributor: They used a flashback because showing it would have ruined the opening - the build up and shock of seeing the wrong pony wouldn't have worked if they hadn't. How is using a spell that was hinted at throughout the show, let alone the episode appear as random to you? No interaction, again I think you weren't looking correctly, there was nothing but ineraction!
