so Twilight, being a pony of science and one who studies tomes and books all day long is really a narcissist studying herself through science

Nah, i am with you. Twilight is intellectual, studious, and productive. I feel like she would look for similar characteristics in her special somepony. She seemed to fall for flash sentry over nothing more than his looks, which is something i cannot see Twilight, a pony who analyzes every detail including her own thoughts and feelings, would do. It made Twilight seem shallow to me, which i didn't think was in her character.
