Gladly. There was a leaked photograph of an Alicorn Twilight, it was dismissed as a mistake but it spawned rumors that Twilight would become an alicorn, much to the comcern of many bronies. These rumors were fed by a sticker in an MLP sticker book of alicorn Twilight, and various toys that are to be released in the future.

Finally, it was comfirmed that Twilight would be made into a princess in the season 3 finale. If you've seen the overpowered abilities of alicorns in the fandom you'd understand why so many bronies became upset at this news, although it should be noted that the near divine power of alicorns is what makes most bronies against this "alicorn Twilight" issue, because most people are basing Twilight as an alicorn based on the fanon depiction, it is entirely possible that Twilight is simply going to have wings now.

Anyways, the original poster is right, I think we must see the episode before we cast our judgement. We have no idea what the nature of this "ascension"- as it has been described- and while that factor of unfamiliarity does worry me I can't judge an episode I haven't seen.
