I actually liked this episode alot for one thing. Finally Twilight was actually noticed as a Princess in Ponyville. I mean, I know that a lot of you people around do not like the alicorn Twilight, or just her being a princess, and I do have a feeling that the writers wanted to keep Twilight in-character as a modest, yet still aware of her royal duties self. Still tho, I was confused and rather disappointed how she just doesn't look like a Princess in this season. It's not about keeping character consistent, its about following the plot, the setting of series. All of the princesses wear their royal accessories, have escorts and are treated like princesses, and Twilight? No, she's just walking around, with nothing to show that she's a princess, and she's treated like an ordinary pony who happens to have both wings and horn. It seems that Twilight is taken as pointless princess, like only as a backup for the other three in case something happened. That just disappoints me alot.
So yes, after the big rant...I'm indeed glad she was finally noticed, respected and treated like a princess. I would still love to see her wearing her royal outfits and accessories randomly sometime
