Talk:Feeling Pinkie Keen/@comment-87.54.33.238-20120209162134

I just find it hard to see how this episode teaches a useful morale, from the standing of a skeptic myself - if we disregard the fact that this is a widely supernatural show, we're bashed consistently in the head that the main protagonist simply "has to believe" in order to solve her standing problem: That problem being that she hasn't found any sound explanation for the why and/or how of Pinkies' powers.

The fact that we're given the impression that T.S simply abandons her pseudo-scientific approach at the end of the episode, without trying to get more answers speaks volumes to me, atleast. I would much have preferred she recognized that P. -did- have the powers (thus she not being a know-it-all douche) but that Twilight henceforth devote some time to research this until the mystery is solved.

Again, it's the emphasis that the main conflict is that Twilight wants "logical" answers but Pinkie simply implores her to simply "believe"; and that the show then seems to favor Pinkie's world-perspective - How on earth does this in any way encourage skeptical thinking?
