Hello one and all, the King of Depravity is here, and this episode hit me in the feels, best episode yet. Minuette was adorable and awesome in this episode, although I can't say the same for 'Moondancer' but this episode was generally really good, we saw a different side to Twily then we normally see, and well Minuette was just really awesome. Now without further delay, Let's rock! Also it was good to see Twily with other ponies other than the mane 6, it keeps her character fresh.

 

Facts!
Twilight mentions studying using the Hayscartes method. This is a reference to philosopher Rene Descartes, who is best known for coining the Latin phrase, "Cogito ergo sum", which is often translated into English as "I think, therefore, I am."

 

The bookseller pony at Moon Dancer's party bears a resemblance to Honey Lemon in Disney's 2014 film Big Hero 6.

 

The episode's original air date was previously given as July 18, 2015 on AT&T U-verse.

 

Written By M.A Larson
Directed by Jayson Thiessen and Jim Miller

 

Story- After Spike comments on the bad friend Twilight used to be before moving to Ponyville and becoming the Princess of Friendship, Twilight decides to return to Canterlot to reconnect with her old friends. Although her friends Minuette, Twinkleshine, and Lemon Hearts bear no ill feelings towards her, Twilight discovers that Moondancer, a friend who shares Twilight's interest in studying, has become a complete recluse since Twilight declined to attend a party meant to help her become more social. When Moondancer rebuffs all of Twilight's attempts to rekindle their friendship, Twilight brings Pinkie Pie to Canterlot to throw another party where they invite several friends Moondancer has already made, which causes Moondancer to finally accept Twilight's apology and friendship.

 

Also Twilight was a 'foil' for many ponies in this episode, What I mean is the characters played of one and another, which impacted there reactions, for example the chemistry between Moondancer and Twilight.

Animation & Sound- Everything is cool here, although i didnt like how Moondancer was designed , her mane style and her coat didnt fit, but that is just me.... not much can be said here, sorry but enjoy the gif.

 

Positives
Really poitive things in this episode, although i didnt like certain stuff, but we will get on to that later...

 

Chemistry- Now, the chem in this episode between ponies was awesome, the way the acted and reacted between each other was really fun.

 

Twilight- Her dedication to make ameds with Moondancer was very touching to see, and I would like to see more of this side of Twilight

 

Minuette- She is awesome, nuff said

 

Negatives

 

Contrived- This episode came out of now where, just because Spike metioned a certain thing, it feels somewhat forced a little....

Nice review and a brilliant point on the Descartes quote and reference especially. I agree that despite the forced start, this episode is one of season 5's better episodes.

When I first saw Minuette I thought of colgate, they have the same mane and fur color. And they're both unicorns. Why are there two of the same pony?
