Talk:A Royal Problem/@comment-4531340-20171026123740

(Last comment stemming from this caffeine-fueled insomnia, I swear!)

Y'know, having watched Zootopia (a fantastic movie, by the way - I can't recommend it highly enough for anyone who hasn't seen it!) in the intervening time between seasons 6 and 7, I wasn't as excited for season 7 as I had been previous seasons (it was more of falling in love with the movie and the fandom in a way that I hadn't since, well, FiM back in 2011 than it was anything negative against FiM), and I thought that, while the first few episodes were definitely good, for the most part, they kind of became a bit of background noise for me (in the sense that I wasn't actively seeking out comments and stuff here on them, for example). This, however, was the first episode that really made me stand up and take notice, and remember "Wow, yeah, that's why I fell in love with this show in the first place", and from then on, it was more of a balance, I feel, that I've been able to maintain.

Still have yet to update my ratings blog, but if this comment spree is any indication, it'll come - at some point, haha (no clue when, though)

Also, one other thing is that I thought her episodes were already great enough in Season 6, but episodes like this and Uncommon Bond have really made Starlight shoot up my list of favorite ponies, such that she's almost on equal ground with Twilight now (which is something that I never thought would happen with any pony). I think it's because I relate to them both so much in different ways (Twilight in nerdiness and love of reading, particularly about subjects I'm interested in, and Starlight in sense/style of humor, among other things).
