S07:E22 - Once Upon A Zeppelin

[Rushing cash 836]

I really love twilights family in this episode, we finally got characterization for her parents. I forgot that iron will existed, he was great here and his exit was epic(but who is piloting the ship after he jumps off?), his role here was similar to flim and flams usually but I enjoyed him way more then them. Startracker was a bit creepy, but in a funny way and I really enjoyed it. The episode was entertaining and had a few heartwarming moments, overall a really good slice of life episode 9.5\10

This episode was alright. It was cool to see Twilight's parents again. Though, the comeback of Iron Will and the fan ponies really gets on my nerves sometimes and I do feel bad for Twilight.

Very interesting episode. It was nice to see full Twilight's parents, with Shining Armor, Cadence and Flurry and interacting on with each other. We got definitely some insight of Twili's parents here. The return of Iron Will was unexpected. I didn't think he would return at some points. It's easy to feel for Twili here. It's definitely a hard time for her on this Zeppelin.

I would say a good and interesting episode to enjoy and get some information about Twili's family.

I cannot hold my tongue. All those people who say that Twilight's family's reenactment of the Northern Stars to make it up to her wasn't enough to make it up to her, was childish or pathetic, a deus ex machina, etc., have got to be among the most MATERIALISTIC bunches of wusses I've ever seen! I mean, whatever happened to "Never look a gift horse in the mouth" or "It's the thought that counts"?!

I like how in the episode, Cadence told Twilight that having Flurry Heart, her rumbustious alicorn baby, gave her a new sense of assertiveness.

This episode showed character development in Cadence and a new positive side to Flurry Heart's character, which is that her unfounded nature makes other characters stronger in ways they never imagined before.

I've noticed a bunch of fans claiming that Iron Will did nothing wrong on account of Twilight's parents should have read the fine print. Yeah... no:

a. Words like "free", "prize", and "won" by default mean that one will not have to pay anything for whatever it is. "They should have read the fine print" does not make it any less dishonest to offer a contract claiming to be one thing and have fine print stating something completely different.

b. Iron Will advertised a "princess cruise" and had another set of fine print stating that he couldn't guarantee the participation of any actual princesses, but he his only effort at recruiting princesses amounted to blatant manipulation.

Though she was also using her magic to stack other babies like toys, so...
