Talk:The Crystalling - Part 2/@comment-25410106-20160326162626/@comment-4531340-20160327130200

Pretty much this - especially your point about Starlight. If this is how she's handled going forward, I can't wait to see the rest of the season (whether or not she plays a super-significant role in more epsiodes). I also liked how they did the interactions with Sunburst (though I would have liked to see more there, of course) - hinting at the fact that he, also, is not exactly proud of his past is standard, but definitely good (also, his only reaction to Starlight's outburst of guilt being "you traveled through time?" was absolutely hilarious, definitely a highlight).

Honestly, this premiere felt so laid back for the most part, it almost felt like Haber was saying "alright, this premiere should be totally mellow after the amount of sheer 'holy crap ' insanity and darkness the last finale had".

Also, I hadn't realized it truly before, but hearing Twilight talk about worrying about being a teacher (and Spike reminding her of how Princess Celestia handled her) was pretty great too - I thought it was a great reminder of how much growing she's done over the five previous seasons.

Finally, the face that Flurry Heart made at the end of part 1 looked to me (on first watch, at least) like a total "screw you" face, and I loved the hell out of that.
