S02:E03 - Lesson Zero

[Astral Scoots 20,580]

I love this episode! I love crazy Twilight I love the Fluttershy scene with the bear

Twilight's dilemma in this episode is something which is not completely fictional. Yes, it's  exaggerated so it's still funny but at the same time real enough to feel her

For nerds it's also quite common that people around them are not always getting their ideas or worries. So I'd say this is even more relatable and I love this episode for addressing this.

I also love how Celestia is dealing with it

Without of doubt, the most memorable episode of the show. It was hilarious to see Twilight going all crazy throughout this episode, and it's Tara Strong's best performance.

Huh, so Twilight's a perfectionist... Neat.

Let's just say before going into this episode, I knew that this episode was notorious one thing, Twilight going insane. And honesty, I can see where they're coming from. Twilight having a freak out over the fact that she's going to miss a deadline is entertaining to see, especially with it being build up overtime. I think there's also several scene in the episode that's also enjoyable to watch, such as the sun acting as a timer, Rainbow destroying an old house, and Fluttershy dealing with a bear.

I think it's fair to say that this episode is relatable to those who have OCD and get stress easily over deadlines, but unfortunately, I'm not one of those people. I'm pretty lax went it comes to my tasks. And I think the fact that I'm not one of those people that really see the enjoyment of seeing character freak-outs really doesn't help it. So I can see the appeal, but I'm just not one to enjoy it. Also, I don't know if it's just me, but some parts in the episode just feel like cringe to me like the scene with Twilight and the CMC.

This episode is great for many reasons, Twilight freaking out being the highlight of the episode. It's even relatable for those who have OCD. I think this is just me, but I didn't really have as much enjoyment in seeing the cringe comedy or Twilight freaking out. But again, that's probably just me, the episode's still great though.

This episode is great. It introduced the crazy side of Twilight's personality and the concept of Twilight no longer needing to be in every episode.

Its nods to the Fandom, the show's production and its marketing are real highlights. It is also hilarious how its lesson gets ignored in the first half of the season's finale.

This episode also introduced brighter and more advanced animation.

Watching the Season 2 premiere, then this episode can make you miss the Season 1 animation, which is more similar to the animation of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.

That show was animated in Adobe Flash, and that is likely be why that animation format was also chosen for this show.

Poor Twilight, she had a psychotic break...

We all seem to love watching Twilight Sparkle have a breakdown for 20 minutes.

I do love this episode. The animation is amazing for one. The improvement from season 1 isn't noticeable at first glance, but it's really impressive once you see it. The plot of this episode is very simple, but it's one of those things where it's just fun to watch it unfold and spiral out of control. The humour is great. There are so many funny scenes here, but I think my favourite has to be when Twilight tries getting the CMCs to fight over Smarty Pants.

On a more serious note, I could personally connect to this episode. As someone with OCD, Twilight freaking out and being unable to get all those thoughts out of her head was something that hit close to home for me. I appreciate this episode a lot more because of that.

Loved "Lesson Zero." One of my favourites for sure.

I personally relate to this episode a lot because I tend to worry over nothing. Twilight's over-reactions to minor problems is something I really struggle with myself. Twilight having all those thoughts in her mind and she doesn't have the words to say it, yup, that's me.  I love crazy Twilight!

Twilight going crazy and making problems. Good times.
