I am a bit worried that this episode might portray Twilight as out of character if the writers don't handle her not wanting Starlight to be friends with Trixie correctly.

So there's an episode called No Second Prances (Which is the next one. It doesn't come out tomorrow though there's no new episode this week. But next week it will air) at first is an episode we didn't know anything except the title. But most presumed it would be a returning character. And not even the synopsis when it came out revealed who it was.

The synopsis was: "When Starlight Glimmer starts becoming friends with a fellow formerly-bad pony, Twilight tries to stop her."

Well thanks to a recent trailer, we know who it is now


Guess who's back
back again.
Trixie's back.
Tell a friend

Hehe, that's really cool. I approve Trixie's return. Though since the synopsis has been revealed, I have to wonder why Twilight doesn't want Starlight to befriend Trixie just yet. I thought Twi was cool with Trixie after the "Great and Apologetic" ending of Magic Duel?

Though having Trixie meet Starlight could be very interesting giving their both former antagonists for Twilight. Albeit a big difference in that Trixie had a mind corrupting amulet make her more evil then she actually is. Starlight didn't have anything aside from her mind being possibly messed up to begin with and what she did is arguably worse then what Trixie did with the amulet on

But anyway, it'll be great to see how Trixie's been since we last saw her in Season 3. From the short clip we got, looks like she still has her confidence. So she must of recovered her career at least somewhat.

I was dancing in celebration after seeing this trailer.

I have really high hopes for future episodes of Season Six, especially after Gauntlet of Fire and On Your Marks, the two-parter however was a bit meh but The Gift Of Maud Pie gave me another excuse to laugh at the humorous moments the show had once more.
 
We FINALLY have a synopsis for the Fluttershy's brother episode!

When Fluttershy tries to convince her freeloading brother to move out of their parents' house, he moves in with her instead, forcing Fluttershy to stand up to him and help him get over his fear of failure.

Sounds like we'll get to see Fluttershy's parents as well. It will be nice to see another family branch. And for once for one of the pegasi since we know so little about their families.
 
Eh, I don't think I'm too big on No Second Prances. Twilight felt a little too immodest this time around. Ironic considering in Trixie's Debut episode (Boast Busters) her modesty was a big part of it all. I suppose they do try to make it work by relating it to her worship of Celestia. But it doesn't seem right for Twilight to prioritize her image in front of even Celestia over being a good teacher/friend to Starlight.

Also Twilight treats Trixie alot worse then Starlight... even though Starlight definitely did far worse on her own overall even if Trixie's actions with the Alicorn amulet weren't a result of her being corrupted by said evil amulet.

I also fear Trixie almost essentially committing suicide may be another of those controversial moments in particular episode that make it sometimes awkward to talk about an episode. Similar to how some could debate the Mirror Pool clones in Too Many Pinkie Pies had enough sentience that they shouldn't have zapped/mass-murdered them like they did.

I think this is definitely my least favorite of the season so far. Which is a shame because I felt it had good potential.
 
I thought No Second Prances was a mixed bag. On one hand, most of the jokes were funny, and it benefited from a great premise. On the other hand, my fear about Twilight being out of character came true, although it wasn't executed quite as bad as it could have been.

My rankings:
5. No Second Prances
4. The Crystalling
3. The Gift of the Maud Pie
2. On Your Marks
1. Gauntlet of Fire

Would you consider it a bad episode, or do you just have mixed feelings on it?

I'd say it's similar to how I felt on Tanks for the Memories. The episodes are otherwise ok, but there are just lingering problems I have that I can't shake off that are related to how the characters involved have been in past episodes and/or somewhat surprising actions from a Mane 6 member and not in a good way.



Also looks like a bomb shell was dropped today. We finally have some possible concrete information about the 2017 pony movie. Though for some reason the place Hasbro chooses to first reveal this is at a Russian convention (Though the show is actually reportedly really popular in Russia it seems)

But anyway there was something pretty big revealed

We have merponies/hippocampi! And Mane 6 transformed into some too!

I actually really like this. Mermaids are one of my favorite fantasy creatures. And I'm doubly excited that it seems the Mane 6 will all be transformed into some as well. It should bring some fascinating challenges for the animators as well. They haven't had to do Underwater very often (There have been moments like in Show Stoppers, or I think When the Sweetie Belle Toils). So it could be cool to see how they do underwater effects and swimming stuff
 
Still, I liked No Second Prances more than Tanks for the Memories, because while Tanks for the Memories is just a decent episode without its out of character moments, No Second Prances is actually a really good one.

Yeah I'd say No Second Prances is still better then Tanks for the Memories. Just that it might be the first Season 6 episode that could miss being in my Top 100 so far. Though if that's the case it will probably be at least close to #100. By the time Season 6 ends there will be quite a bit of episodes that drop below #100 because either a Season 6 episode pushed them out, or I didn't like a Season 6 episode enough for it to make it up there. (After Season 6 is over and including EQG 4 there will be 137 episodes/movies. So 37 episodes left out)
 
Is there a website that shows what fans generally think about an episode of the show? IMDb has a lot of people spamming one-star ratings, so I can't rely much on that site right now.
