since we did not see her i was thinking that Starlight was either off with Trixie somewhere, visiting Sunburst in the Crystal Empire, or visiting Our Town. while i thought they did a good job with the zombie ponies. i had felt that Rainbow had matured past this point in her character development already and that this just felt kinda out of place. while pinkie's joining in with laughing with rainbow didn't seem that way for her because this is pinkie the embodiment of laughter. while Fluttershy maybe bolder than she used to be, the NO PRANKING FLUTTERSHY rule should still apply. with last weeks episode and this weeks too they just feel like good ideas executed badly, this is season 6, not season 1. the only character who this would have worked better for would have been Starlight since she is learning friendship lessons, or even Discord. is rainbow backsliding because she has to not showboat anymore now that she is a wonderbolt, and is finding that situation difficult. that would have worked better as a story exposition to explore. are they having trouble with writing good things for the cmc? i think this season is suffering from the lack of vision and drive from the good writers of the show not being around anymore, since they are off doing other things. i am now starting to think that the movie may very well be the end. i mean they have been tying up a lot of destiny/ dream story arcs these last 2 seasons.
