    So this past weekend, my friends made the funniest video I’ve ever seen. (Sorry, it’s not on YouTube)
    That’s a blanket claim, I know, but this was hilarious. They made a Pokémon-style video where they are all fighting with plastic lightsabers, and edits made cringy-as-heck explosions in the background. After that, one of my friends takes out his phone, and pretends to call in an air strike. Then the screen goes black, and white text appears on it:
    Suddenly, a wild Apache Attack Helicopter appears. . .
    Then, this little cut out image of an A.A.H. flies slowly across the screen and drops a bomb, aka a troll face, which, when it hits the ground, grows bigger until it fills the entire screen, then the screen fades to white. 
     
    We died laughing.

    Ok. This’ll be a doozy.
    So, I had never heard of this thing called rhythmic gymnastics until recently. I was kinda weirded out by all those ladies in really tight clothing doing flips with ribbons and stuff. I watched a couple YouTube videos about it and always expected someone to heckle them.
    So anyway, I was watching this one video when isn’t work dictionary family tattoos. Stupid autocorrect. Anyway, they did this nice routine. And not a single person didn’t clap. Did not clap? Didn’t clap. I’m fairly sure that’s correct. 
    I think they both work. 
    Anywho, I thought it was pretty cool until we watched a fails video with parkour and gym stuff. 
    Ohhhh, man. 
    I spend a fair amount of time on the internet. I watch videos like these all the time. 
    It wasn’t me who cracked. It was my buddy. He died laughing. Not really, of course, but. . .
    I’m meandering on. Bye.

    The episode starts off nicely, with Starlight and "The Side Four" so to speak, being rewarded with medals of valor. However, Discord, the sneaky little $@#%?!, makes Twilight feel insecure about her teachings to Starlight Shimmer, driving Twilight to the point of asking for advice from Princess Celestia. Usually Celestia is the best possible pony to have in a time like that, but she (accidentally on purpose) makes Twilight think that she needs to graduate Starlight and send her off, just as Celestia had with Twilight. Twilight ends up announcing that Starlight had graduated, but they both agree that they're not ready to separate yet. Amid good puns, emotional teaching, and an overreacting purple alicorn, the episode is an important installment and a great way to kick off the new season of MLP:FiM. 
    There are three main points of the episode analysis, which I will break down. 
     
    1. Twilight was already worried about her teachings.
    As we see in the beginning, Discord plays some mind games with Twilight and eventually makes her insecure about the roster of friendship lessons she has prepared for Starlight. As much as we would love to blame Discord for her (supposedly unfounded) fears, the real reason is buried under there: Herself. Twilight Sparkle is too strong of a pony to be shaken by Discord’s petty tricks. In her heart, she believes that her lessons will only be good material for another few moons, and then Starlight will be ready for more. 
     
    2. Celestia is trying to teach a major lesson here, people!

    This very well could also be one of Princess Celestia’s cryptic lessons. For instance, she emphasizes how it is Twilight’s decision whether to send Starlight away. That in itself is evidence somewhat that Twilight is being taught a valuable lesson about teaching! As per frickin usual, Celestia is doing it in what's practically code. Celestia is trying to make Twilight a better teacher so that she can make better choices about Starlight Shimmer. 

    3. Starlight is also worried. 
    This should be rather obvious as a bright unicorn such as Starlight Glimmer would be expected to be thinking ahead of even her teacher. Starlight knows that little friendship lessons can only be actually useful for another maybe year, at a stretch. She also knows that Twilight was sent away, and she doesn't want that just yet. She is hoping instead that Twilight had prepared more advanced lessons that would further educate her in the subject of “The Magic of Friendship” and help her learn more life skills.
