Ooh, I wonder if there's any shipfics involving Thorax in that book the Terrible Trio have got.

 

But in all seriousness, I hope the Summer Sun Celebration goes alright in the end.

All I can say is this episode makes the last episode "Trivial Problem" seem like an even worse episode.

It’s certainly a strange episode following the previous one. Trivial Problem really should have aired much earlier, unless you mentally say that there is a significant time skip. These two episodes as back to back episodes do cause a little issue with consistency of morals. 

 

Spoiler

Having an episode where her friends assume she is going to freak out just to have Twilight basically keep her shit together is a phenomenal element of growth, but considering that her monumental meltdown just happened and is fresh in some viewers eyes ... makes them strange to be aired so close together. 

 

I’m just going to pretend Trivial Problem took place immediately following Sombra’s return.

I can understand what you're saying.

As for my thoughts right at the moment,Well, at least...

Spoiler

Right at the start of the episode, rather than pretend it didn't happened, she acknowledged her Twilighting at the Trivia. She told the Royal Sisters, "With the exception of the Odd Trivia, I've made a lot of progress since the Royal Swanifying Ceremony." And true to her word, she actually kept calm throughout the entire episode. And that's what pleasantly surprised me the most. 

All the panicking went to a new Woobie-ish Stallion in charge of the weather Pegasi, who earned "love to hug and comfort" points from me.

Completely forgot about that line.

I almost wish the first synopsis was the right one.

I hope I manage to see the other ones first because this one sounds like it's going to annoy me.

So... haven't watched it yet but I had to post a pre-watch opinion...

Summer Sun "Setback?" Alright, if this isn't about daylight savings time, I'm going to be so disappointed.

Let’s see how many people around here still get this reference.

Huh. I'm excited for this one. 

[TheAnimationFanatic 3,594]

Definitely the strongest entry in the season and certainly helpful in picking the momentum back up.

[Buttonmash2019 6]

Middle of the road episode for me.

I don't want Celestia and Luna to retire!!!

The idea of a new "festival" was well appreciated though, instead of it just being the end, it was the beginning of something as well.

[PoisonClaw 8,164]

Who's ready to watch this one live?

[Rushing cash 836]

Either grogar is clueless to what his subordinates are doing or he is a really good actor. And indeed luna and celestia keep a lot of knowledge to themselves.

I'd love it if it ends up being the latter in the finale.

Still, would be embarrassing for him to lose to a filly. Doesn't really matter.
