It's stupid episodes like this that really, unfortunately, make me side with the parts of the fan-dom that loathe Starlight. I'm starting to feel that way myself. What is this, the third or fourth time she's refused to just be honest up-front and has screamed her lungs out at Trixie and hurt her feelings? This is disgusting. Like, we know what Trixie is like, and she's not a bad pony. And, yes, you need to get after her a bit, but that's what a friend is supposed to do. Starlight is seriously a sociopath at this point. She knows what she needs to say, she refuses, then she breaks down and just lashes out. She still has that villain in her, and when it comes out, it's really nasty to see. Admittedly, seeing them use Dr. Hooves (and actually use his name), was fun. And seeing Octavia, Vinyl, and Spoiled was all fun, too. I also really loved seeing Trixie tell off Gruff for being the jerk he is and standing up for Gallus. There's a lot to like here, but Starlight's attitude just ruins it for me. The people who are saying Trixie is in the wrong are misguided. We know what she's like. And, being Starlight's friend, Trixie just wants to be around her more. There's nothing bad about that at all. Starlight was the one 100% in the wrong here, and her attitude and personality really ruined what could've been a fun episode. I really hope they don't go this way, because I want the old Starlight back; I don't WANT to be like the awful side of the fan-base and just hate Starlight.
